Examination of Some Endoparasites Prevalence in Romanov Sheep Imported from Ukraine
Abstract
The purpose of this study
was to investigate some endoparasites spread in the Romanov sheep imported from
Ukraine. The flotation, sedimentation and Baerman-Wetzel techniques were used
to analyze the fecal samples collected from the sheep (n=156) and the samples
were examined under the light microscope. Furthermore, from this herd, the
internal organs of the sheep that had died were pathologically examined on
macroscopic and microscopic level. Among fecal samples examined 69 (44.23%)
were found parasitically positive, 66 of these (42.3%) were found positive for Dicrocoelium
dentriticum, 3 samples (1.92%) were positive for Nematodirus spp. and Eimeria spp, while Giardia spp.
was not detected. The pathological examination of the internal organs of eight
of these sheep revealed adult forms of D.
dendriticum only in the liver. The parasitological and pathological
findings of this study indicated a high incidence of D. dendriticum that causes economic losses due to cases of death,
in the Romanov sheep, which has been imported to country in large numbers in
recent years.
