Abstract	\| In order to study the prevalence of gastrointestinal cestodes in backyard (Desi) chickens in district Tando Allahyar of Sindh province, the present study was intended during August to November 2012. A total of 90 samples were examined in randomly selected 18 villages of three Tehsils (Taluka) in district Tando Allahyar. The result showed that backyard chickens in district Tando Allahyar were severely infected by gastrointestinal cestodes. The Tehsil wise infection rate was found 66.6, 70 and 80%, in Tehsil Tando Allahyar, Chamber and Jhando Mari respectively. The overall prevalence of gastrointestinal cestodes recorded in district Tando Allahyar was 72.2%. Furthermore, five cestodes species were observed which include Davainea proglottina (10%), Raillietina tetragona (31.1%), Raillietina cesticillus (14.45%), Choanotaenia infundibulum (7.78%) and Raillietina echinobothrida (17.78%), while 18.89% of the birds were infected by more than one species of cestodes parasite. The current study revealed that backyard chicken maintained in district Tando Allahyar of Sindh province are at high risk of gastrointestinal cestode infection. Therefore, the situation calls for minimizing the risk of cestodes by giving emphasis on control of cestodes infection through adopting standard management, proper and balance feeding, limiting the contact of poultry with the intermediate hosts of parasites and proper use of anthelminthics to reduce the losses in term of low meat and egg production.
