The ectoparasite study is of great value to monitor its effect on the health and care of wild goat population. A study was conducted to determine the ectoparasites of chiltan wild goat (Capra aegagrus chialtanensis Lydekker, 1913) in Hazarganji chiltan national park (HCNP) between the months of May to October, 2016. Hard ticks (Ixodidae) species were found in HCNP ground area where high mobility of chiltan goats were observed. It can be pretended in the light of literature that fully or partly fed ticks might cast off from chiltan wild goats. The prevalent ectoparasites in this study were from the two genera of tick viz Hyalomma, and Rhipicepalus (Boophalus). Result showed high prevalence (57.14%), (54.16%) for the male Hyalomma excavatum and H. anatolicum viz 46%, 43% for the two female species respectively. While 100 percent prevalence were observed for male Rhipicepalus (Boophalus) microplus and R. (B.) appendiculatus respectively. Females of the two ticks species were not found in the present study. Moreover, total percent sex-wise count of ticks indicated 78.0% for male ticks compare to females (45.0%). It was concluded that population of tick parasites was high noted in the present study, and this could affect the prosperity and fecundity of chiltan wild goats. Therefore, to reduce ectoparasites burden and its impact on the fertility and health status, planning of strong policy aiming at creating awareness about the value of wildlife and control of ectoparasites with sustainable veterinary services is required.

ABSTRACT: The present study  was conducted to investigate the population growth pattern, population status examination of negative elements that decreased their population and formation of positive actions for conservation of Suleman markhor "(Capra falconeri jerdoni) ? in Ziarat National Park. The data in present work was assembled undeviatingly through occasional survey and meetings from the forest department, from the local community and wildlife department.   Results showed that the number of Suleman markhor based on actual sighting is moderately subsidence as compared to those reported in 2017 by IUCN Pakistan. Density decreased due to climatic factors environmental factors, rise in hunting, food absence and drought. Thus it is recommended that taxonomic status persistence the flora and fauna of Ziarat park inference the wildlife rules against over hunting, conduction of surveys, proper vaccinations of animals, habitat hotbeds, dispersal species through GIS maps, investigation of genetic makeup through crossing different spices of others goats are mandatory for unusually unique species of Markhor in Ziarat National park, that is need of zoological point of view.
