A total of 62 numbers of faecal samples of mithuns were collected   from   National Research Centre
on Mithun,  Jharnapani, Medziphema,  and Nagaland  during  the  year  2011-12,  for  detection  of
gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infections, using standard techniques. Out of 62 faecal samples examined,
18 (29.03%) faecal samples were found positive for GI parasitic infections. The eggs of Strongyle
spp. and oocysts of Eimeria spp. were recorded in 24.19% and 8.06% mithuns, respectively. Mean
faecal egg count (FEC) of infected mithuns was 103.55. No cestodes and trematodes eggs were recorded
in this study. It can be concluded from this study that a lower percentage of mithuns maintained in this
farm suffers from GI parasitic infections, but lower faecal egg counts have been observed in infected
animals as a result of regular deworming. So, mithun rearers should practice regular deworming to
control GI parasitic infections.
