Gastrointestinal Helminths of Small Ruminants in Banat (Vojvodina, North Serbia)
Keywords:
gastrointestinal parasites, goat, sheep, Serbia, VojvodinaAbstract
During our study performed in Vojvodina in period from 2011 to 2015, we collected fecal samples from more than 157 herds of small ruminants, totaling over 1,700 animals. Examination was performed using standard coprological technique. During this five years 374 sheep and goats we were examined by post-mortem examination. Determination of adult parasites and eggs of parasites were done by morphological characteristic. During post mortem examination we occurred: Teladorsagia (Ostertagia) circumcincta in 92.23% of animals, O.ostertagi (31.33%), O.ocidentalis (12.33%), Trichostrongylus axei (98.60%), T. colubriformis (91.57%), Nematodirus spathiger (100.00%), N. filicollis (22.31%), Haemonchus contortus (89.95%), Marshallagia marshalli (31.77%), Skrjabinema ovis (11.28%), Bunostomum trigonocephalum (15.28%), Chabertia ovina (69.14%), Oesophagostomum venulosum (24.39%), Cooperia curticei (50.52%), C. oncophora (7.29%) and C. punctata (2.26%). The intensity of infection and polyparasitsm was monitored in relation to the age of sheep and goats. It was found that in younger animals’ intensity of infection was lower than that of older animals. At the beginning of our research, conducted in March, the real extent of gastrointestinal infections strongilidae was 83.33%, after which he soon reached a level of 100% in the same way and moved to the end of follow-up period.
