This study was carried out to detect helminth infections in a Saanen goats farm in Afyonkarahisar. Fecal
samples were collected from 187 goats (younger than one year old and female) and examined by sedimentation, flotation
and Baermann Wetzel methods. The samples with strongylid eggs in faeces were cultured and the larvae were
identified in the genus level. Faecal examination of goats revealed that 30 of the examined goats (16.04%) were positive
for various helminth species. Infections of Trichuris sp., Protostrongylus sp., Trichostrongylus sp., Moniezia sp. and
Muellerius capillaris were detected as 12.29%, 3.74%, 1.60%, 1.06% and 0.53%, respectively in the examined goats.
Until now, there have been no data on the prevalence of helminth infections goats in Afyonkarahisar province. When
the status of helminth infections in goats was evaluated in this study, it was concluded that the goat breeders should
perform the helminthological examination periodically in these animals.
