“…The mixed infection has been observed in study of Al-Bayati et al (2016) which were dealing with the same subject. The higher rate of mixed infections in goats was consistent with previous research reports as Kahan and Greiner( 2013) and Mohamaden et al( 2018) and could be attributed to the intensive management system which increased possibility of infection with various types of Eimeria spp. (Khodakaram-Tafti and Hashemnia, 2017).…”

The aim of this study which conducted in Al-Diwaniyah province during the period from October (2021) to April (2022) was to determine the prevalence of Eimeria infection in goat and study the effect of some epidemiological factor such as sex ,age and months on the infection rates addition to that and molecular identification of Eimeria. Two hundred and ten fecal sample were collected, from goat in four different regions in Al-Diwaniyah province included (Al-Shamiya, Al-Sunyih, Ghamas and Al-Mohanawih) at one visit per a week for each regions. The results of microscopic examination showed that 169(80.48%) of goat were infected. According to morphological study, eight Eimeria species were recorded which include E. arloingi, E. alijevi, E. ninakohlyakimovae, E. christenseni, E. jolchijevi, E. hirci, E. caprovina and E. caprina. The results showed that, Eimeria arloingi were recorded at highest rate (22.86%), while E. caprina was observed at lowest rate (3.33%). Significant (P<0.01) differences was found between prevalence of infections according to Eimeria species. Out of 120 fecal sample were collected from goat female and 90 fecal samples were collected from male which examined as Eimeria species, the results showed that, 99(82.5%) females and 70(77.78%) males were confirmed to be infected.

“…Değer et al [ 38 ] reported nine different species of Eimeria in goats from Turkey, these being E. arloingi , E. christensini , E. alijevi , E. hirci , E. ninakohliyakimovae and E. jolchijevi , in addition to E. pallida E. apsheronica and E. punctata . Nine species of Eimeria were also identified by Kahan and Greiner [ 40 ] in goats from Florida, USA. This group included both E. punctata and E. caprovina .…”

“…These results are similar to those noted in Iran (83.4%) [ 31 ], India (79.2%) [ 32 ] and in Turkey (73.6%) [ 38 ]. A higher prevalence has been reported in Portugal (98.61%) [ 39 ], Florida, USA (97%) [ 40 ], China (92.9%) [ 41 ] and Spain (96.1%) [ 42 ]. However, all the cited works concerned research conducted on conventional farms.…”

The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence and intensity of gastrointestinal parasitic infections in goats kept on organic (n = 76) and conventional farms (n = 82). In general, a higher prevalence of some gastrointestinal parasitic infections was found in the conventional farms compared to the organic farms: the mean prevalence of Eimeria spp. was 85.4% in conventional farms and 77.6% in organic farms, that of Fasciola hepatica was 6.10% in conventional farms and 2.63% in organic farms, and that of Moniezia expansa was 31.7% and 17.1%, in conventional and organic farms, respectively. Both farm types demonstrated a similar mean prevalence of nematodes (80.3 vs. 84.2%). Conventional farms demonstrated a significantly higher intensity of infection with E. arloingi, Haemonchus spp., Nematodirus spp. and Moniezia expansa compared to organic farms. They also demonstrated a higher intensity of infection with Eimeria spp. than organic farms. The prophylactic programs used to combat parasitic infections in both types of farms appear ineffective and require improvement. There is a need for goat herds to be covered by ongoing parasitological monitoring. It is also recommended that keepers employ rotational or intensive rotational grazing methods and take care to ensure the hygiene of animal quarters and livestock rooms.

“…In present study the high prevalence (≈98 %) of Eimeria infection was recorded in all examined goat farms which is in agreement with reports from other counties. In Poland Eimeria oocysts were found in 81 -100 % (Balicka-Ramisz, 1999), and in 95 % in Estonia (Lassen et al, 2013), 92 % in the Czech Republic (Koudela & Boková, 1998), 100 % in Slovakia, (Vasilková et al, 2004), 97 % in Florida, USA (Kahan & Greiner, 2013). Goat kids are particularly susceptible to the pathological effects of Eimeria infections, especially newly weaned kids kept in large numbers under intensive management conditions (Ruiz et al, 2006).…”

The impact of grazing management on seasonal activity of gastrointestinal parasites in goats

2014

SummaryThe aim of this study was to examine the impact of grazing management and other risk factors (age, treatment practices) on seasonal activity of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites in goats. Goat flocks naturally infected with GI parasites reared on four Lithuanian farms representing different management regimes were examined during the grazing season in 2011/2012. On three farms the adult goats were grazed in different ways on open pastures (with or without supplementary feeding) or tethered. On one farm all animals were kept indoor (zero-grazing). On each farm, samples were collected at monthly intervals from 13 -15 adult and 10 kids. The results showed that grazing of adult goats with feed supplementation or kept indoor, shed the lowest number of strongyle eggs when compared to those kept on pasture (P < 0.05). Delayed turnout and zero-grazing significantly reduced excretion of strongyle eggs but increased the output of oocysts when compared to those grazed on set-stocked pasture together with adult goats. The most prevalent genus on all farms and in both age groups of goats were Teladorsagia spp. This study demonstrates that goats are infected with mixed species of parasites, but proportions of these parasites differed in different grazing management systems. The grazing management, age and season were all major factors that had an impact on GI parasite infection.
