THE PREVALENCE OF WORMY SINUSITIS IN GOATS FROM THE WEST SIDE OF OUR COUNTRY
Abstract
On the February-October period of year 2007 were been examined 84 sheep heads and 51 goats heads, from mixed flocks of private breeders from Timis and Caras- Severin districts. Sheep were from łurcana breed, goats from White of Banat breed and both categories of animals were 2-7 years aged. The necropsy of heads aimed the Oestrus ovis larvae discovery, from all three stages of development, in nasal ways and sinuses. The obtained results confirmed another time that the Oestrus ovis prevalence is higher in sheep (67.8%) in comparison with goats (43.1%), but this parasitic disease is important form both species and annually recorded economic damages for their breeders.
