Prevalence of Fascioliasis in goats in different regions of Indore (M.P.), India.

The present study deals with prevalence of fascioliasis in goat of Indore region in relation to age, sex and season.The total 2250 faecal samples were collected from Indore region during present study period. In which, 1125 faecal samples were collected from house hold and 1125 faecal samples were collected from slaughter house goats. These faecal samples were examined, 510 faecal samples were positive out of 2250. In household 127 faecal samples were found positive out of 1125 and 383 faecal samples were found positive for slaughter house out of 1125. The overall prevalence of fascioliasis was 22.66% in which, household was 11.2% and 34.4% in slaughter house based on results. In young age groups prevalence of fascioliasis was 28.4%. In male goats prevalence of fascioliasis was 13.86%. In female goats prevalence of fascioliasis was 25.33%. The prevalence of complete one year (study period) in relation of season were observed (58.6%) in rainy season followed by in winter (19.46%) and in summer (10%). It was concluded that the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica in goat was significantly affected by age, sex and season. Effective control and strategic use of anthelmintic is need for the treatment of intensive fascioliasis.
