@article{mirza_sheep_centre_khairewala, title={INTERNAL PARASITISM IN SHEEP AND GOATS UNDER EXTENSIVE GRAZING SYSTEM}, volume={18}, abstractNote={Sheep and goats face persistent threat of internal parasitism in extensive grazing system which seriously affects the health of the flock and leads to reduced weight gain, poor quality meat, decreased wool, hair clip and great numerical losses. There is a paucity of information on the epidemiological aspects of internal parasites of sheep and goats. The present study was undertaken to establish the association between occurrence of internal parasitism with regard to breed difference under extensive grazing system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Faecal materials from animals were collected directly from the rectum of animals. About 2 g of faeces were thoroughly mixed with 20 mL of saturated solution of sodium chloride with mortar and pestle. The suspension was passed through a fine mesh wire strainer. A cover slip was placed on top of the sl!spension in a way that the suspension remained in contact with the cover slip. The suspension was allowed to remain in this position for 15 minutes after which the cover slip was removed and examined under microscope.
