Abstract

Among the gastrointestinal (GI) parasites, Haemonchus contortus becomes a major impediment to small ruminant and negatively affecting the socio-economic structure worldwide, including in Bangladesh. This study aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of GI parasites alone with Haemonchus contortus infection in Black Bengal Goat based on different associated risk factors such as sex, age, breed, region and years (season) under natural grazing condition. A total of 897 Black Bengal goats were examined for three consecutive years. The fecal egg was measured using the McMaster technique. Age, Sex, breed, and body weight were recorded before sample collection and hematological parameter like Pack Cell Volume (PCV) and Haemoglobin (Hg) value was also measured from a blood sample of a goat. Statistical analysis was done after transforming data into log10 (n+1), where n is the number of egg per gram feces, and analysis of variance was done using Generalized Linear Model procedures of the computer package of SAS. The highest prevalence (55.2%) was found for Eimeria sp. among overall GI parasitic infections with higher fecal egg count (FEC) (1678.53±154.62epg). FEC was significantly differed between sexes (P<0.01), among breed and years (P<0.001). Among the GI nematode, Haemonchus contortus showed the highest prevalence (47.1%) with the highest FEC (355.09±18.54epg). In the case of the breed, Black Bengal Hilly Low (BBHL) goat showed the highest prevalence (76.1%) and Black Bengal Hilly High (BBHH) goat showed lower prevalence (33.3%) with lower FEC (220.00±12.31). This study suggested that the identified risk factors influencing GI parasites and BBHH goat were less susceptible to GI parasites, especially Haemonchus contortus infection. 

Keywords: Fecal egg count, gastrointestinal parasites, Goat, Haemonchus contortus.
