infection. The infection rate in buffalo, cattle and goat was
41.63, 32.18 and 51.94%, respectively. Higher infection was
recorded during monsoon (63.07%) followed by winter (32.22%) and
summer (21.33%). The percentage of animals infected with
Haemoncchus sp., Toxocara sp., Trichuris sp., Strongyloides sp.
and mixed infection was found to be 38.01, 27.68, 14.87, 11.98 and
