Biomorphological Characteristics of Helminths Parasitizing Poultry
in the Western Region of Azerbaijan
Abstract
Studies were conducted in recent years in individual and farm poultry farms of Aghstafa, Dashkasan and Gadabay districts of the Western regions of Azerbaijan.
The species composition of helminths parasitic in poultry kept in the farms in the region was determined based on helminthological sputum examination of 280 domestic geese, 352 ducks and 668 chickens of different age groups. Also, in order to determine the level of spread of helminthosis in farms and the extensiveness of invasions, 870 cal samples were taken from geese, 946 cal samples from ducks and 1260 cal samples from chickens kept in the farms where the studies were conducted and helminthoscopic examination was performed.
Examinations were conducted using the helminthological sputum method of K.I. Skryabi. As a result of the sputum examinations, helminths were collected from 786 individuals from geese, 909 individuals from ducks and 1215 individuals from chickens. The species composition of the collected helminths was investigated and specified based on specific helminth determinants. According to the results of helminthological sputum and helmintoovoscopic examinations, it was determined that ducks and geese in farms were parasitized by cestodes - Fimbriaria fasciolaris and Drepanidotaenia lanceolata, trematodes - Echinostoma revolutum, Echinoparyphium recervatum and nematodes - Capillaria anseris, Amidostomum anseris, Ganguleterakis dispar, and chickens were parasitized by cestodes - Railletina tetragona, nematodes - Capillaria obsignata, Ascaridia galli and Heterakis gallinarum.
