The study was undertaken to study the prevalence of amphistomosis in slaughtered buffaloes at Ahmedabad, Gujarat on the basis of faecal and liver/rumen examination. A total of 798 faecal and 790 liver/rumen samples were collected from buffaloes brought to the local abattoir of Ahmedabad district, Gujarat and the monthly, seasonal and overall prevalence was studied for the period of twelve months from March-2013 to February-2014. The overall prevalence rate was observed to be 27.69% (211) and 28.86% (228) for the faecal and liver/ rumen samples, which was highest in winter in the month of Nov.-Dec. followed by monsoon and lowest in summer in the month of April by examination of both faecal and liver samples. It can be concluded from this study that amphistomosis is a parasitic infection of great concern which is prevalent appreciably in buffaloes of Ahmedabad causing great loss in terms of production and health especially in the month of November and December and the detail knowledge of its occurence will help in using immediate and necessary preventive measures in the winter, rainy and post rainy season.
