Abstract

  The study was carried out on 515 goats from different localities in NewValley governorate with different ages and sexes during the period from May 2007 to May 2008. The study aimed to monitor parasitic infection among these goats qualitatively and quantitively. The results proved that 455 goats infected with different gastrointestinal parasites (88.34%) where Eimeria spp. was representing  an incidence of 78.02% while the total infection rate of different helminthes was 55.16% (40.55% in kids and 64.72 % in Adult). The infection rates were 35, 16% for Nematodes, 3.95% for Cestods, 16.03% for Trematods. The study declared that parasitic infection represents a major health impact on goats at New Valley with special reference to Eimeria spp. and Hemonchus contortus in both young and adults. The influence of seasonal variation proved higher coccidial infection at winter (86.7%), however higher intestinal helminths infection were found at spring and summer. It could be concluded that periodical parasitic examination of goats in NewValley should be attempted to recognize and manage parasitic infection.
