Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasite of Cattle in Ullapara Upazila, Bangladesh

Abstract

T he majority of Bangladesh's population is, directly and indirectly, reliant on agricultural activity. Agriculture is one of the main economic sectors, accounting for 13.31% of GDP. The involvement of agricultural workers in the labor force as a whole is 43% (BBS, 2019). The population of cattle in Bangladesh is now 243.91 lakh in number and the contribution of Livestock to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 1.47% (DLS, 2021). One of the main obstacles to the production of cattle may be gastrointestinal (GI) parasite diseases ( Jittapalapong et al., 2011). A condition known as gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infestation is brought on by a variety of genera of parasites that live in the gastrointestinal tracts of cattle. Due to subclinical or chronic infections that produce economic losses, the infection decreases productivity through decreased feed intake, decreased efficiency, and infeed utilization (Stromberg et al., 2012;Deo et al, 2019). Mainly, helminth, protozoa, cestode, and trematode are what induce GI parasitism in cattle (Pinilla et al., 2019). The protozoan Eimeria spp., which parasitizes ruminants, equines, and rabbits and causes bovine coccidiosis, is a member of the phylum Apicomplexa (Shaikh et al., 2022). Cattle and

Seasonal Prevalence and Status of Anthelmintic Resistance of Goats’ Gastrointestinal Nematodes, Mirab Abaya, Southern Ethiopia

“…The prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode infection was significantly higher in female than male goats ( p < 0.05). Similar finding is reported from various parts of the country and elsewhere [ 4 , 36 , 40 – 43 ]. This might be due to lose of immunity around parturition and during lactation time in female goats [ 23 , 33 , 38 , 39 ].…”

“…The prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode infection was significantly higher in female than male goats (p < 0 05). Similar finding is reported from various parts of the country and elsewhere [4,36,[40][41][42][43]. This [23,33,38,39].…”

Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Parasitic infections in Goats in Western Uttar Pradesh, India

“…Overall Barbari goats were found comparatively more prone to the infection in comparison to Jamunapari, Sirohi and Non descript in the current study. Various goat breeds were exhibited differences in the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites infection [22]. The overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasite in goats was recorded 48.93% in ND (Non-descript) and 52.89% in Osmanabadi goats from Marathwada region of Maharashtra [23].…”

“…of the area that boon the viability of infective stages of the parasites. The managemental practices, deworming schedule and accessibility of susceptible host [21], also the variations in goat husbandry practices and breed composition of goats from various parts have important role in regional disparity in occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites infection in goats [22].…”
