Goat farming significantly contributes to the efficient use of land and socioeconomic development in developed and developing countries. During the fiscal year 2017-2018, goats made up 13.5% of the total live livestock exported by Rwanda. Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) can negatively impact goat production, especially in developing countries like Rwanda. This study aimed to determine the impact of the goat' age and location (administrative cell) on the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematodes, cestodes, and protozoans (GiNCPs) of goats in Nyagatare district, Rwanda. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 149 faecal samples were collected from apparently unwell goats and analyzed using the simple flotation technique. Strongyle-type nematodes (STNs) infections were graded using the McMaster method. Pearson chi-square tests of independence were calculated to assess the impact of the goat' age and location on the prevalence of GiNCPs in the study area. Results: All the goats (100%) were infected with GiNCPs. The identified types of parasites were STNs (96.0%), Coccidia (83.2%), Moniezia spp (14.8%), Strongyloides papillosus (12.8%), Nematodirus spp (0.7%) and Trichuris ovis (0.7%). Nearly 85.9% (128/149) of the goats were coinfected with 2 to 4 types of parasites and the coinfection of STNs and coccidia preponderated at 58.4%. The location (administrative cell) of the goats correlated with the prevalence of monieziasis (p<0.05). The goat's age category was also associated with the prevalence of strongyloidiasis (p<0.05). Conclusion: All the goats (100%) were infected with GiNCPs. The location (administrative cell) of the goat also correlated with the prevalence of monieziasis. In addition, the goat's age category was associated with the prevalence of strongyloidiasis. These findings show that any control program for caprine gastrointestinal parasitoses in the study area should focus on STNs and Coccidia.

“…The prevalence of Strongyloides papillosus (8.3% and 3.4%, goat kids and adults, respectively) was lower than found in other surveys, which generally vary between age groups, management systems, areas and climates (12.8%) [53], Slovakia (14.05%) [54] and Somalia (25.58%) [55]. Strongyloides infections are generally only sporadically associated with clinical signs in herbivores [56].…”

Goat farming is still very much in its infancy in Ireland. The purpose of this study was to survey goat farmers on their knowledge and current control practices of parasites as well as some information on the specific gastrointestinal parasite fauna of goats in Ireland. Some 64 goat owners were invited to participate in the survey by completing a questionnaire and submitting faecal samples from the goats. Pooled faecal samples were analysed for gastrointestinal parasites using FLOTAC dual procedure. Seventeen percent of farmers returned the questionnaires and samples. The results indicate that the main farming enterprise was cheese (46%) or milk production (36%) with the majority of farms (55%) practicing a pasture-based grazing system. Anthelmintics was regularly used on all farms to control gastrointestinal helminths with a treatment frequency ranging from 1-4 for adults and 1-3 for kids. When calculating the weight of animals for treatment, visual appraisal was most commonly used (73%) and the anthelmintic dose given ranged from the recommended sheep dose (22%) to twice the recommended sheep dose (33%). Past experience and veterinary advice were the most common criteria used when selecting an anthelmintic product. A variety of different nematode, trematode, cestode and protozoa parasites were detected in the pooled samples. The prevalence of Eimeria spp. was the highest ranging from 79% to 100% in the adult goats and kids, respectively. Prevalence of trematodes ranges from 3-17% in adult goats, while none were detected in the kids. Of the gastrointestinal nematodes, strongyle eggs were most prevalent in adult (69%) and kids (42%). This first report on endoparasitic infections of goats in Ireland reveals a high prevalence of endoparasites, and that farmers still uses inappropriate and unsustainable parasite control practises, highlighting the need for further education.

Background: Gastrointestinal parasitic diseases remain an obstacle to goat farmers in Somalia and worldwide. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of gastrointestinal parasites in goats in the Afgooye district, Lower Shabelle region, Somalia. Methods: To fulfill this study, an examination of 384 fecal samples of goats kept by smallholders was conducted. The results were achieved during the period from August 2020 to January 2022. Results: The examination of fecal samples revealed that the overall prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitic infections among goats was 71.61%. The data analysis conducted during the study indicated that there is no significant association (P > 0.05) between goat districts and gastrointestinal (GI) parasite infection. The corresponding percentage of gastrointestinal parasites in males and females was 70% and 72%, respectively. However, these variables were not significantly associated (p-value = 0.399). After categorization, age was not significantly associated with the parasitic infection status of the animal. The common parasitic infections prevalent were Nematode, Trematode, Cestode, and Protozoa types were found in different numbers. According to the flotation and sedimentation techniques, Eimeria sp. (29%) was found with higher prevalence followed by Haemonchus sp. (23%), Trichostrongylus sp. (11%), Moniezia sp. (10%), Trichuris sp. (9%), Strongyloides sp. (7%), Dictyocaulus sp. (5.2%), Nematodirus (4%), and least was Fasciola sp. (1.0%). Conclusion: This study provides comprehensive documentation on multiple GI parasites among goats in the Afgooye district, Lower Shabelle region of South-western State, Somalia, and the findings are crucial for effective farm management, especially for formulating the effective GI parasitic control vis-a-vis novel elimination strategies.
