The study about gastrointestinal helminthes of sheep at central
parts of Šumadija region - Pomoravski and Rasina district was started in March
2016 and finished in October 2018. During our research 937 fecal samples
originated from 62 sheep flocks were collected individual at monthly intervals. A
total of 57 animals we were analyzed by post-mortem examination. Determination
of parasites eggs we performed by keys given by Euzeby (1981). We occured next
parasite species: Haemonchus contortus, Teladorsagia (Ostertagia) circumcincta,
Ostertagia trifurcata, Ostertagia ostertagi, Ostertagia occidentalis, Marshallagia
marshalli, Trichostrongylus axei, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Trichostrongylus
vitrinus, Nematodirus filicoliis, Nematodirus spathiger, Nematodirus abnormalis,
Cooperia curticei, Cooperia oncophora, Cooperia punctata, Cooperia zurnabada,
Skrjabinema ovis, Bunostomum trigonocephalum, Oesophagostomum venulosum
and Chabertia ovina. Most prevalence species of nematod...e are Ostertagia,
Trichostrongylus and Nematodirus,species. Although most of the gastro-intestinal
species appear to follow this general pattern of seasonal distribution, some
variations in intensively and duration of these characteristics with different worm
species occurred. Thus with Trichostrongylus and Ostertagia species infection at
mature goats the spring peak was more pronounced that the autumn infection.
Poliparasitismus and infection were established at all examined animals. The
intensity of infection and polyparasitsm was monitored in relation to the age of
sheep. It was found that in younger animals intensity of infection was lower than
that of older animals.
