An epidemiological study of fasciolosis in organized goat farm of Assam revealed that the differences of EPG (egg per gram) were non significant among the breeds but highly significant (p < 0.01%) between the seasons. On the basis of faecal examination it was observed that overall mean EPG was recorded high in winter season (12.78+3.24) followed by post-monsoon (5.50+1.82), pre-monsoon season (4.40+1.22) and monsoon season (3.10+1.01). A low level of highest mean EPG 14.42 + 6.57, 15.81 + 5.74 and 8.24+3.23 were recorded in winter season in local, crossbred and Beetal goats respectively. Local goats (21.06%) were the most susceptible one amongst the three breeds followed by crossbred goats (19.91%) and Beetal goats (13.45%) against fasciolosis. Month wise assessment of Fasciola infection revealed that the highest incidence and egg counts were recorded in local goats (incidence 49.09% and mean EPG 17.09+7.34) and crossbred goats (incidence 47.22% and mean EPG 23.11+9.29) in the month of January, butin Beetal goats it was in the month of December (incidence 31.82% and EPG 11.65+5.57). The differences of egg out puts of Fasciola in all the breeds were significantly higher in adults than kids.
