Overview

Prevalence study reveals a 34% gastrointestinal parasite infection rate in slaughtered goats, highlighting the need for routine anthelminthic treatments.

Key Points

  • Gastrointestinal parasites infect over one-third of slaughtered goats, with Trichostrongylus species identified as the predominant pathogen across breeds.
  • Overall prevalence reached 34% in small ruminants, and female goats showed substantially higher infection rates than males at 44.26% in abattoir records.
  • Formol-ether concentration technique analysis of faecal samples highlights high parasite burden, calling for regular use of effective anthelminthics.
