“…During the study period, the overall prevalence of infection was found to be 49%, signifying that roundworm infection is a common problem in the region and is more or less similar to the prevalence of 45.66%, as reported by Jaiswal et al [ 17 ]. In comparison to the current study, Sreedevi et al [ 18 ] reported a higher frequency (63.21%) in India, and El-Dakhly et al [ 19 ] reported a prevalence of 55.79% in Egypt.…”

Objective: The current study was undertaken to evaluate the seasonal dependency and prevalence of gastrointestinal roundworms (nematodes) infecting domestic fowls ( Gallus gallus domesticus ) in Kashmir. Materials and Methods: From August 2017 through July 2019, the investigation was undertaken during each of the four seasons. We tested 400 guts obtained from varied places around the Kashmir valley for nematode infestation. The nematodes found within the digestive tract were collected and identified using a variety of identification keys under the microscope. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used to analyze the data (version 20). Chi-square ( χ 2 ) test was carried out to analyze the sample data. Results: 196 hosts were infected with various nematodes, indicating an overall prevalence of 49% (196/400). The findings revealed that the prevalence of Ascaridia galli was 32.97% (61/185) in the first year and 35.34% (76/215) in the second year. Heterakis gallinarum had a prevalence rate of 20.80% (38/185) in the first year and 24.18% (52/215) in the second year, whereas Capillaria spp. had a prevalence rate of 10.81% (20/185) in the first year and 12.55% (27/215) in the second year. The overall prevalence of A. galli was determined to be 34.25% in both years (August 2017–July 2019), with a mean intensity of 4.86. Summer months had the highest parasitic load. Heterakis gallinarum had a prevalence rate of 22.5% and a mean intensity of 26.83. Summer was shown to have the most considerable parasitic burden. Capillaria spp. had an overall prevalence of 11.75% and a mean intensity of 4.59; autumn had the highest parasite load. The most abundant species was identified as A. galli . It was shown that there is a significant ( p < 0.01) link between seasonality and helminth parasite prevalence. Conclusion: The study’s findings indicate that these gastrointestinal nematodes are ubiquitous throughout the year, but are particularly abundant in the summer and fall seasons among domestic poultry in the study area. This study on the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes in Gallus gallus domesticus demonstrates the seasonality of infection rates and also offers various methods and techniques for framing effective strategies for controlling these helminthes to maximize profit from backyard chicken farming.

“…A total of 860 fecal samples were processed and analyzed using direct techniques with ZnSO4 and indirect methods such as modified Sloss [ 11 ], quantified with MacMaster chamber [ 8 , 12 ]. To calculate the frequency of gastrointestinal parasite infection, descriptive statistics using absolute and relative frequency were used.…”

“…The occurrence of parasitic infestations has a high prevalence, causing low economic conditions, increased mortality and prophylaxis, leading to low production, death of animals, and limited productivity. Improved poultry management practices are responsible for the reduction in the incidence of parasitic infections [ 8 ]. Thus, the objective of this work was to identify the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in Gallus domesticus , Anas platyrhynchos domesticus , and Meleagris gallopavo managed under the backyard poultry system in the Savanna subregion, Department of Sucre, Colombia.…”

Objective: To identify the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites that affect the backyard poultry system in the Savanna region, Department of Sucre, Colombia. Materials and Methods: Fecal samples were collected from 860 native birds, both hens ( Gallus domesticus ), ducks ( Anas platyrhynchos domesticus ), and turkeys ( Meleagris gallopavo ), regardless of age and sex. Samples were processed using direct techniques with ZnSO 4 and indirect methods such as modified Sloss. Data were presented as frequencies, and the nonparametric odds ratio test was used for two independent samples. Results: A total of 77.3% (665/860) of the birds were infected with one or more species of gastrointestinal parasites. Among the nematodes, Capillaria spp. (45.6%), Ascaridia galli (18.4%), Heterakis gallinarum (59.4%), Syngamus trachea (38.9%), Tetrameres spp. (25.2%), and Strongylus spp. (12.2%) were recorded. The cestodes were Choanotaenia infundibulum (22.6%), Davainea proglottina (42.3%), Raillietina spp. (58.3%), and Hymenolepis spp. (54.7%), while only Eimeria spp. (90%) was recorded as protozoa. Conclusions: The study showed a high incidence of gastrointestinal parasite infestations, the most common species being Hymenolepis spp., Eimeria spp., Raillietina spp., and Heterakis gallinarum .

“…Oleh karena itu, Slimane (2016) berpendapat bahwa tindakan tegas harus dilakukan untuk mengendalikan parasit yang penting secara ekonomi ini. Usaha untuk memperbaiki sistem pemeliharaan, sanitasi kandang (Dakpogan et al, 2019), lingkungan yang higienis (Jaiswal et al 2020) menjaga kebersihan tempat pakan dan minum serta pemberian anthelmintik dan dosis yang tepat pada peternakan ayam kampung perlu dilakukan dengan baik dan benar agar prevalensi Helminthiasis dapat ditekan (Iboh, (2019); Uhuo et al, (2013)). Dampak positif dari rendahnya prevalensi Helminthiasis nantinya dapat dirasakan oleh peternak, yaitu memperoleh keuntungan yang optimal.…”

Parasit cacing (Helminth) merupakan kendala kesehatan yang berhubungan dengan investasi parasit sering dijumpai pada ayam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi keragaman parasit cacing yang terdapat pada ayam kampung di Kabupaten Jember. Prosedur pengambilan sampel ekskreta ayam kampung dilakukan secara acak. Sampel ekskreta yang diambil sebanyak 150 sampel di Kabupaten Jember. Identifikasi keragaman spesies cacing dilakukan melalui pemeriksaan telur cacing pada sampel ekskreta dengan metode sedimentasi yang dilakukan di BBVet (Balai Besar Veteriner) Wates, Yogyakarta. Parasit cacing yang teridentifikasi pada sampel ekskreta ayam kampung merupakan cacing dari kelas Nematoda yang terdiri dari Capillaria sp. (24,67%); Heterakis sp. (10,67%); Strongyloides sp. (3,33%); dan Ascaridia sp. (2,67%).
