COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PREVALANCE OF GASTROINTESTINAL ENDOPARASITES IN INSTITUTIONAL HERDS OF NILI RAVI BUFFALO

Gastrointestinal endoparasites have a great impact on livestock production. Currentresearch is conducted to realize the proper prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitical incursion in threeinstitutional buffalo herds Punjab Province. A total 758 fecal samples were examined farmand health laboratory, Buffalo Research Institute for time duration one year (July 2017 June2018) from three institutional herds. The collected Livestock experiment stationBhunikey, Chak katora and Haroonabad 227,208 323 respectively. Out which 311 (41.02%) found positive different parasites during current study. Thepervasiveness including trematodes, nematodes, diverse infestation inbuffaloes at Experiment Station Bhunikey was 25.50% (58/227), 14.90%(34/227), and4.80%(11/227) , while Katora it 19.81%(64/323),17.64%(57/323) 3.7%(12/323) percent Haroonabadshowed nematodes mixed infections as 24.51 %( 51/208), 6.70 %(14/208) 4.80 10/208). Maximum observed November February(trematodes 24.01%, 13.81% 3.4%) minimum parasitism wasobserved July October (trematodes 20%, 3.5% 1.2%). Thestudy that has varied results revealed occurrence gastrointestinalparasites buffaloes quite severe causing economical losses by reducing milk Bykeeping focus this factor, planned strategic way treatment control program maybe designed cover parasitic contagions buffaloes.
