Studying the prevalence dynamics of helminthosis in the sheep-breeding farms in Azerbaijan

The main purpose of the research work is to identify the prevalence of helminthiasis in private sheep-breeding farms of the Sheki, Zagatala and Oguz districts of the Republic of Azerbaijan. One of the urgent problems is the study of mixed invasions that cause damage to animal husbandry. Based on this, as a result of the investigations, the extensiveness and intensity of helminthiasis in sheep of different age groups were studied as a result of the examinations. Extensiveness of invasion: in Sheki district for moniesiasis - 26.6%, for fascioliasis - 20.8%, for dicroceliosis - 23.3%, in Zagatala district for moniesiasis - 21.6%, for fascioliasis - 15.8%, for dicroceliosis - 17.5%, in Oguz distirct for monieziasis - 30.8%, for fascioliasis - 25.8%, for dicroceliosis - 28.3% were identified during the scatological examinations conducted. Presence the intensity of invasion on average: in the Sheki district with Moniezia expansa - 2-6, Fasciola hepatica - 4-14, Dicrocoelium lanceatum - 7-21, in the Zagatala district with Moniezia expansa - 1-4, Fasciola hepatica - 3-11, Dicrocoelium lanceatum - 5-17, in the Oguz district with Moniezia expansa - 2-7, Fasciola hepatica - 5-18, Dicrocoelium lanceatum - 9-24 specimens were identified when examining during the autopsy.
