ABSTRACT
Rectal faecal samples from live goats and livers from slaughtered goats were collected randomly and examined every week from January to December, 1994. A total of 600 faecal samples from live goats and 600 livers from slaughtered goats were examined in 48 periods of which 173 (28.83%) faecal samples and 220 (36.66%) livers were found positive for Fasciola gigantica. Prevalence of fascioliasis was higher during autumn both in live 48% and slaughtered goats 63% while lowest during spring i.e. 21% and 25% respectively. The highest month wise prevalence i.e. 56% and 64% was recorded in September while lowest in June and July being 8% and 20% respectively in live and slaughtered animals. The higher prevalence was recorded in adults (33.6%). Females were more affected than males. The results of therapeutic trials by using Triclabendazole and Albendazole indicated that Triclabendazole was more effective in the treatment of fascioliasis in goats.
