Abstract:
A total of 445 faecal samples and 128 rumens of sheep collected from Slaughter house, Mhow (Madhya Pradesh) were examined for a period of 1 year from February 2011 to January 2012. Faecal sample examination based, incidence of amphistomes was found to be 23.37% from the study area. The incidence of amphistomes was significantly higher (p < 0.01) during summer (36.75%) than winter (27.74%) and monsoon (3.52%). Age-wise, non-significantly higher infection was observed in ≥1 year-old animals (23.61%) than <1 year-old animals (23.11%). Non-significantly higher rate of infection was recorded in case of females (25.63%) than that of males (19.64%). Out of 128, 49 (38.28%) rumens were found positive for amphistomes. The prevalence of Paramphistomum cervi (27.34%) was found to be significantly (p < 0.01) higher than Gastrothylax crumenifer (10.94%).
