| Popis: | A coprological survey of strongylosis in donkeys was conducted in the five wards of Pali district of Alkaleri Local Government area of Bauchi State. The sampling period covers the months of July to October 2020. A total of 107 donkeys were sampled and fecal samples were collected and analysed using standard technique. The ages, sex and breeds of donkeys were determined using standard procedures. Out of the 107 donkeys sampled 96 (89.7%) tested positive for strongylosis. However, it appeared that age sex and breed of donkeys did not significantly influence the disposition of infection with the parasite (p>0.05). Majority of the donkeys examined (51.04%) were moderately infected with the Strongylus parasite. This study revealed a considerably higher infection rates with Strongylus spp and majority of the infected animals harbours the infection moderately. Therefore, strategic deworming and improve management practices is strongly advocated for better productivity and utilization of these animals. Further studies into the epidemiology of this nematode parasite should be undertaken in the study area in order to get better understanding of risk factors supporting its distribution. |
