| description | <b>Aim:</b> This study was undertaken to determine Eimeria infection
in sheep in Kerman province.<p>
<b>Material and Methods:</b> Totally 227 faecal samples were
collected directly from the rectum of sheep. Faecal samples
were analyzed using floatation technique for the presence
of coccidian oocysts. Oocysts per gram of feces and Eimeria
species were identified.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Seven species of Eimeria (E. crandallis, E. ovina,
E. parva, E. ovinoidalis, E. faurei, E. ahsata and E. intricata)
were identified. The age and sex of the sheep had no significant
(p>0.05) effects on prevalence of coccidiosis.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Eimeria infection was prevalent in sheep and
anticoccidial treatments should be recommended. |
