Coprological analysis was performed to check the presence and previlance of gastrointestinal parasites. One hundred seventy six bovine faecal samples were studied. The study reported the presence of parasitic stages of Balantidium coli, Buxtonella sulcata, Trichostrongylus spp., Toxocara vitulorum, Fasciola spp., Strongyloid spp., and Paraamphistomum spp. 43.51 % (n = 108) faecal samples from Gir cattle (Bos primigenius indicus) were positive for Gastrointestinal parasitic infections. and 36.76 % (n = 68) faecal samples from Jaffrabadi Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) were positive for Gastrointestinal parasitic infections. In Cattle Balantidium coli was found highest (20.37 %) and in Buffaloes Buxtonella sulcata was found highest (8.82%). the highest incidence was recorded during august for both cattle (6.48 %) and buffalo (7.35 %). Gastrointestinalparasitic infections in claves (< 12 Months) was higher than older (> 60 Months) and adult animals (12-60 Months). Season wise gastrointestinal parasitic infections in cattle were reported maximum (23.15 %) during monsoon. Maximum prevalence in buffalo was reported during Monsoon (16.18 %). similarly, females recorded higher infection rates than malesfor both cattle and buffalo.
Zooplanktons are bio-indicators of water ecosystems. Their diversity depends on the water condition. In the present study, samples were collected from the six different locations of two Rivers namely; Saraswati and Shingoda for the study of zooplankton diversity. These rivers are located in Gir-Somnath district of Gujarat. The entire work was carried out during the winter season and the effort was being made to analyze the diversity of Zooplankton in different selected sites to compare the diversity found in both the rivers. During the survey 14 physicochemical parameters of water like pH, Electric conductivity, DO, BOD, TS, TDS, TSS, Total Hardness, Ca Hardness, Mg Hardness, Alkalinity, Acidity, Salinity, and Chlorinity were also analyzed. Total 16 species of zooplankton were recorded among which and were the most dominant zooplankton.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
