Abstract | ||||
Eimeria sp < /em>p < /em>., Neoascaris vitulorum, Strongyloides papillosus and the different gastro - intestinal Trichostrongylidae constitute the most important parasites causing diarrhoea among buffalo-calves of 6 months old. Examination of 500 faecal samples of diarrhoea suffering calves revealed a rate of infection with Eimeria spp < /em>. in 12% While 31.8% were infested with N. vitulorum, 15.2% with S. papillosus and 4% with the gastro-intestinal Trichstrongylidae. While, 24.8% showed mixed infestation with more than one of the fore-mentioned parasites. The relation between both age and sex of calves to the rate of infection with these parasites was also studied. | ||||
