abstract
Overall prevalence of anaemia was noticed as 27.73% in goats. There was high prevalence of anaemia recorded in anaemic goats of the age group 7-12 month and it was high in winter season of the year. The prevalence of parasitism in anaemia was found (77.46%).Prominent parasitic infections detected in faecal examination were Strongyle spp. (68.81% cases) followed by Trichuis spp. (0.72%) and Eimeria spp (0.54%) individually and mixed infections (25.45%). On the basis EPG, it can be concluded that low grade parasitic infections (80%) were high than that of high grade parasitic infection (20%). Correlation of EPG with certain haematological and biochemical parameters revealed that there was significant correlation of EPG with the parameters such as serum calcium and phosphorus levels, whereas non-significant positive correlation was observed with the parameters such as TEC and MCHC. Also there was non-Significant negative correlation with the parameters Hb, PCV, MCV, serum glucose and serum Total protein in the present study.
