“…The infestation rate based on animal categories in this study agree with the other study reported by Sarker et al (2021), Gunathilaka et al (2018), Khatun et al (2021), and Kabir et al (2018) indicated that cow is more susceptible to parasitic infestation than other animal categories. As cow has to face more stress than others animal categories during their pregnancy condition, lactation, and also in parturition and that is the high time to entry of parasites (Akter et al, 2015;Mustafa et al, 2022). Reduced resistance in cows or transient loss of acquired immunity close to parturition, as well as inadequate nutrition availability compared to their greater requirements are the key factors for their susceptibility to parasitic infestation (Arece et al, 2007;Khan et al, 2023).…”

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
