“…In the present study also heavy prevalence and intensity of GIH parasites were noted in country chicken. The overall prevalence recorded with GIH parasites in free-range poultry birds during the present study was 87.00% (139.29), which is higher than that reported in previous studies 63.21% (Sreedevi et al 2014) but less than 100% (Bandi et al, 2020). Most of the reports available from India showed a lesser prevalence of infection in country chicken when compared to the present study viz.…”

“…A. galli species had been reported as the common and most important helminth infection of poultry by Sonune (2012), Satish and Priti (2013), Murthy and Rao (2014) and Sahu and Sinha (2016). Nevertheless, several variations were noted regarding the dominance of various individual parasite infections in previous studies carried out by Pickney et al (2008), Katoch et al (2012), Butt et al (2014) and Bandi et al (2020).…”

“…In India, considerable work has been carried out on GIH parasites of country chicken, and several reports are available from different states viz., Karnataka (Puttalakshmamma et al, 2008), Kashmir (Dar & Tanveer, 2013), Maharashtra (Naphade and Chaudhari 2013), Madhya Pradesh (Satish & Priti, 2013), Tamil Nadu (Sivakumar et al, 2017), Chhattisgarh (Kumari, 2018), Telangana (Rao et al 2018), Rajasthan (Singh and Nama 2018), West Bengal (Ghosh et al, 2019), Meghalaya (Das et al, 2020) and Uttar Pradesh (Jaiswal et al, 2020). In the state of Andhra Pradesh, the prevalence of GIH parasites in country chicken has been reported from Gannavaram by Sreedevi et al (2016) and from Krishna District by Bandi et al (2020). The present study constitutes first such epidemiological study on the prevalence of GIH parasites of free range country chicken from Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh, India (Table 1).…”

Birds in a free environment carry huge risk of helminth parasite infections affecting the health of poultry and thereby indirectly leading to great economic loss. The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, parasite intensity and species diversity of gastrointestinal helminth parasites (GIH) of country chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) from local chicken markets of Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh. A total of 300 gastrointestinal tract (GIT) samples were examined from January to December 2021 and the collected parasites were separated, counted, identified and statistically analysed. The overall prevalence of infection was found to be 87% with an intensity of 139.29. The study showed high prevalence with mixed infections (66%), whereas the prevalence with individual groups i.e. cestodes, nematodes and trematodes was found to be 83.00%, 70.33%, and 0.67% respectively. Altogether 10 parasite species were identified viz.Raillietina echinobothrida being the most dominant with a prevalence of 72.67%, followed by Raillietina tetragona (62.00%), Heterakis gallinarum (59.33%), Ascaridia galli (45.33%), Davainea proglottina (43.00%), Amoebotaenia cuneata (42.67%), Raillietina cesticillus (38.33%), Hymenolepis sps. 1 (36.00%), Cotugnia sps. (29.67%) and the least was Hymenolepis sps. 2 (21.00%). In month-wise data, highest prevalence was recorded in July (100%), and the highest seasonal prevalence was recorded in summer (90%), followed by monsoon (87%) and winter (84%). No major significant difference in prevalence was noted between males (88.51%) and females (85.53%). Hosts with high body temperature and low GIT pH levels showed increased prevalence and parasite intensity. The present study helps in laying better health and disease management strategies for country chicken.

“…The size of S. avium eggs found in this study is by Soulsby's identification key (1982) that S. avium eggs measure 52-56 x 36-40 μm. Eggs appear transparent and contain larvae(Anupama et al, 2020).The eggs of T. tenuis worms found have a morphology that is oval with a thin egg wall. T. tenuis eggs contain 8-32 cells that are undergoing division (blastomere).…”

This study aims to determine the species, prevalence, and infection degree of endoparasite in the digestive tract of laying hens in Suruhwadang Village, Kademangan District, Blitar Regency. Ninety-six fecal samples were taken from four different farms. Twelve samples of chicken feces aged 20-50 weeks and twelve samples of chicken feces > 50 weeks were taken from each farm. The examinations taken in this study are fecal examinations using native, sediment, and floating methods. The results of identification of digestive tract endoparasites found consisting of Ascaridia galli (68.75%), Heterakis gallinarum (53.12%), Strongyloides avium (5.21%), Trichostrongylus tenuis (6.25%), Eimeria maxima (51,04%), and Eimeria acervulina (3,12%). The highest average degree of worm egg infection was found in layers >50 weeks of age of 373.96 ± 450.41 while the highest average degree of infection of protozoa was found in layers aged >50 weeks of 296,87 ± 600,92. The results of the Chi-Square test showed that there was no significant effect of the difference in the age of laying hens in the layer phase on the prevalence of digestive tract endoparasites, both worm egg and protozoan infections (P>0.05). The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed that there was a significant effect of the difference in the age of the laying hen in the layer phase on the degree of worm egg infection (P<0.05), but the difference in age of the laying hen in the layer phase did not significantly affect the degree of protozoa infection (P>0,05).
