The morbidity and mortality of gastrointestinal nematodes in goats made them one of the most significant parasites in the world, causing huge economic loss for farmers. It has been reported that the economic loss due to gastrointestinal parasitism was Rs. 372.35 per goat annually. In the present study, the intestinal sample was collected from a local slaughter house at Izatnagar, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, for screening the gastrointestinal nematodes. Initially, the pathological lesions like nodules, cyst and haemorrhagic patches etc. were examined for any parasitic infection. The found worms in the intestinal content were subjected for microscopic examination for the identification of the nematode and identified them as Oesophagostomum spp. based on buccal capsule with cephalic and cervical structures. Interestingly, both Oesophagostomum columbianum and O. asperum species were found in the same sample. The male and female Oesophagostomum species were also differentiated by examining the spicule and gubernacular length, position of the vulva and anus. This study reports the infection of Oesophagostomum spp. in a goat and the first case report of concurrent infection of O. columbianum and O. asperum in the Bareilly region of Uttar Pradesh.

The present study was conducted to determine the reasonality of gastro intestinal parasitism in goats in a selected area in Sikkim. Of the total 1,921 faecal samples examined 1,258 (65.49%) were positive for different gastrointestinal parasitic infections with eggs per gram of faeces (EPG) in the range of 100-4,800. The most prevalent gastrointestinal helminth parasite eggs detected were strongyles (63.51%), Eimeria (54.51%), Strongyloides (34.25%), Moniezia (32.12%), Nematodirus (22.33%), Trichuris (11.71%), Dicrocoelium spp. (10.20%) and amphistome (8.95%) in decreasing order. The prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitic infection was high in August (82.22%) and low in January (44.08%). The seasonal distribution of gastrointestinal parasitism indicated higher percentage of infection during summer (75.29%) followed by autumn (74.54%) and spring (64.23%). The infection rate was significantly lower in winter (51.33%).
