Helminth Infections in Cattle: A Study on Fecal Samples from the Ağrı Region

Öz

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of helminths in cattle in Ağrı region and to create literature information that will contribute to the fight against helminth diseases of both veterinarians working in the region and local people engaged in animal husbandry. The study included 438 cattle belonging to family enterprises located in different settlements of Ağrı center and its districts. Approximately 30-50 g of fecal samples were taken from the rectum of each cattle and examined under a light microscope using a modified sedimentation-centrifugation method. Of the 438 cattle whose faecal samples were examined, 198 (45.2%) had helminth eggs, 65 (32.8%) of the samples had two and six (3%) had three species. Eggs belonging to Fasciola spp. were detected in 63 (14.4%), Dicrocoelium dendriticum in 11 (2.5%), Toxocara vitulorum in 80 (18.3%), Trichostrongylus spp. in 106 (24.2%) and Trichuris spp. in 15 (3.4%) of the samples. More helminth eggs were found in Yerli kara breed compared to Holstein and Simmental breeds (p=0.009). As a result, it was observed that there was a high rate of helminths in cattle in Ağrı region. These parasites, which cause significant low productivity and even deaths in cattle, are of great importance and it is extremely important to periodically check the animals for intestinal parasites and to treat parasitic animals, especially in the region where pasture animal husbandry is common.
