| dc.description.sponsorship | The study was carried out in order to compare the prevalence rates of gastrointestinal helminths in savannaBrown goats of different age groups managed semi-intensivelyin the livestock Research farm of the Federal university of Technology, Minna, NIgeria. Fifteen goats were assigned into three different age groups comprising of five goats each. Faecal samples were analysed using floatation and sedimentation techniques for over a period of 12weeks in order to detect the presence of nematodes, cestodes and trematodes respectively.Results showed Strongyloides papillosis and Haemonchus contortus to have highest prevalence rate of 39.3% and 42%, respectively in kids and goats aged 6-12months . Fasciola gigantica had the highest prevalence rate of 11.5% in adult goats above one year while Bunostomum trigonocephalum and Fasciola gigantica were not found in the faecal samples of kids. It is recommended that strategic control programmes for different age groups of goats is imperative towards eradication of gastrointestinal helminths for improved production. | en_US |
