| Abstract | From August 2004 to December 2005, a total of 338 fecal samples were collected (86 from sheep 252 from goats) to determine the prevalence of various endoparasites in and around twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Of the total samples examined, 65.7% were found positive for endoparasites. The prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites tended to be higher (p = 0.059) in sheep 62 (72%) than in goats 160 (63.7%). The endoparasites identified in sheep included Haemonchus (80.64%), Coccidia (51.61%), Trichuris (32.25%), Nematodirus (29.03%) and Fasciola (4.38%) while only Haemonchus (75%), Trichuris (62.5), and Coccidia (57.5%) were recovered from the fecal samples of goat. |
