Abstract/Description: | Yaks (971) from 8 farms were systematically sampled. The study showed the overall infection rate of 18.43% in yaks, either in single (9.43%) or mixed infection (14.83%) with mean eggs per gram of faeces (EPG) of 43.862. The incidence was significantly lower in Government yak farm (16.7%) than that of privately managed farms (18.51%). The highest prevalence (23.53%) was noticed in private yak farm at Yumthang, North Sikkim. Strongyles, Strongyloides, Nematodirous and Ascaroid spp. were the most prevalent parasites. Higher rate of gastrointestinal parasitic infections was also found in animals at Kupup village (22.22%) than in yaks reared at Gnathang valley in East Sikkim, and a greater proportion of study animals had moderate EPG (10.81%). Age and sex were significant variables for the development of gastrointestinal parasites; 15.37% of animals over 24 months of age and 19.8% of females were found infected. The seasonal distribution of gastrointestinal parasitism indicated a higher percentage of infection during summer (24.31%) followed by autumn (19.92%) and spring (18.27%). The infection rate was significantly lower in winter (11.87%). The present results may be useful to formulate an appropriate management strategy for gastrointestinal parasites of yaks in Sikkim.
