Abstract
Aim:
This study was undertaken to derive the prevalence rate of
Fasciolosis in buffaloes by a collection of fecal and liver
samples from Anand and Ahmedabad districts’ local slaughter
houses.
Materials and Methods: Fecal and liver samples were collected
during ante- and post-mortem examination, respectively, and
brought to the department laboratory preserved in 10% formalin for
further processing. Fecal samples were processed with qualitative
examination viz.; sedimentation technique for
identification of the ova. Liver samples were also examined for
the presence of gross parasites.
Results: The highest prevalence rate was observed in the month
of December (25.97% fecal and 33.33% liver samples) and lowest in
the month of May (10.71% fecal and 11.76% liver samples) at Anand
district. In the area of Ahmedabad district, the highest
prevalence rate was recorded in the month of October and February
(26.98%) and lowest in the month of May (10.34%) for the fecal and
highest prevalence was observed in the month of February (26.98%)
and lowest in May (11.11%) for the liver samples.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the heavy infection is
present in Anand and Ahmedabad districts, especially in the month
of winter followed by monsoon and the least in summer.
Keywords: buffalo, Fasciolosis, fecal,
liver, prevalence rate.
