Nematofauna lung capra aegagrus hircus, linneus, 1758, foothill zone of the Chechen Republic

Abstract

Studying the parasitic aetiology of diseases, their treatment and prophylaxis is important for environmentally safe production in goat breeding. On pastures, especially rural, parasite fauna is constantly present due to lack of pasture prophylaxis, uncontrolled animals circulation, instability and inopportune preventive measures before spring gazing. The article contains data about the contamination of goats with lungs helminths. 9 nematodes have been detected, high percentage of helminth infections is presented with Dictyocaulus filaria - 30.2%, P. hobmaieri - 23.2%, Muellerius capillaris - 41.8%; low percentage of infection - with nematodes P. davtiani - 9.3%, P. Scriabini - 4.7%. It should be noted that in the foothillvalley zone at high density of livestock on 1 hectare with the respective temperature and humidity mode, the percentage of goat infestation varies, and prevail mainly those types of worms that operate in the frame of natural ecosystems. Close contact with this group of helminths may concern sheep, hares, roe deer and other types of animals. It seems relevant to conduct ecological and biological research on this issue in order to create database for the helminthosis monitoring at the regional level.
