dc.description.abstractThe study was conducted to: 1) identify the gastrointestinal helminthes of goats in Ilocos Sur during the dry season; 2) identify the Strongyle-type species of nematodes through larval culture; 3) determine the prevalence rate of gastrointestinal helminthes of goats in Ilocos Sur during the dry season; and 4) determine the degree of gastrointestinal helminth infection of goats in Ilocos Sur during the dry season. A total of 200 goats regardless of sex and age were used in the study. Ten (10) municipalities were randomly selected as areas of study. These were the towns of Candon, Galimuyod, Narvacan, Salcedo, Santiago, San Esteban, Santa Cruz, Santa Lucia, Santa Maria and Tagudin. Gastrointestinal helminthes were identified and determined using Modified Stoll’s method, McMaster Technique of fecalysis and larval culture of nematodes at the Institute of Veterinary Medicine Parasitology Laboratory, DMMMSU-NLUC, Bacnotan, La Union. All the data gathered were tabulated and statistically analyzed using means, frequency counts and percentages. There were six (6) gastrointestinal helminthes identified in Ilocos Sur during the dry season which include Strongyle-type, Strongyloides, Trichuris, Moniezia, Fasciola species and Amphistomes. The Strongyle-type species identified through larval culture were the Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Oesophagostomum, Bunostomum and Cooperia species. Strongyle-type species had the highest prevalence rate of 52% while Amphistomes had the least with a prevalence rate of 7%. All of the goats under study recorded light degree of gastrointestinal parasite infection during the dry season.
