Investigation on Parasite Infection in Cashmere Goats in Three Farms of Xinjiang
[Objective]The aim is to investigate the infection of parasites in cashmere-producing sheep in three sheep farms in Gongnaisi Town,Hoboksar County and Baicheng County.[Methods]90 cashmere goats were subjected to helminthological body examination during livestock and poultry genetic resources survey in Xinjiang,and the parasites were collected and counted for classification.[Results]4 species(categories)of parasites were detected out,including Marshallagia sinkiangensis,Trichuris trichura,Cysticercus tenicollis and Dicrocoelium lanceatum.The dominant species was Marshallagia sinkiangensis,the total infection rate of which was 57.78%,followed by Trichuris trichura(23.33%)and Dicrocoelium lanceatum(13.33%).Compared with the semi-house-fed sheep in Gongnaisi Town and Hoboksar County,the housed goats in Baicheng county were infected with fewer parasite species,and the infection rate was lower.[Conclusion]The mixed infection of nematodes and Cysticercus tenicollis were common.Hygiene measures should be strengthened to prevent parasitic contamination and pathogen transmission.Basic data were provided by the study for scientific deworming in goat farms.
