Gastrointestinal parasites are the cause of morbidity and mortality in working donkeys and reduce their working performance.
A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2020 to July 2021 to assess gastrointestinal parasite infection in working donkeys in Shashemane and the surrounding district. A total of 395 donkeys were randomly sampled for the study, and an examination was conducted using faecal egg count and the Baermann technique.
Out of the 395 sampled donkeys, different types of gastrointestinal parasites were identified. The parasites identified during the study were spp. (100%), (10.1%), (23.8%), spp. (0.3%), (4.6%), (47.8%) and (0.5%). Identification of L larvae of GI parasites revealed that spp. (96.2%), (92.9%), (90.4%), (89.4%), and (49.6%) were the most prevalent. Infection with one species of helminth was more common (60.8%).
Thus, working donkeys in the present study area were infected with spp. (100%), (47.8%), (23.8%), (10.1%), (4.6%), (0.5%) and spp. (0.3%) parasites. Hence, comprehensive donkey health, management, and implementation of appropriate parasite control strategies should be implemented to alleviate these problems.
胃肠道寄生虫是导致劳作毛驴发病和死亡的原因，并会降低其工作性能。
于2020年11月至2021年7月开展了一项横断面研究，以评估沙舍马内及其周边地区劳作毛驴的胃肠道寄生虫感染情况。总共随机抽取395头毛驴进行研究，并采用粪便虫卵计数法和贝尔曼氏技术进行检测。
在395头抽样毛驴中，鉴定出了不同类型的胃肠道寄生虫。研究期间鉴定出的寄生虫有 spp.（100%）、 （10.1%）、 （23.8%）、 spp.（0.3%）、 （4.6%）、 （47.8%）和 （0.5%）。对胃肠道寄生虫L幼虫的鉴定显示， spp.（96.2%）、 （92.9%）、 （90.4%）、 （89.4%）和 （49.6%）最为常见。感染一种蠕虫更为常见（60.8%）。
因此，本研究区域的劳作毛驴感染了 spp.（100%）、 （47.8%）、 （23.8%）、 （10.1%）、 （4.6%）、 （0.5%）和 spp.（0.3%）寄生虫。因此，应实施全面的毛驴健康管理，并实施适当的寄生虫控制策略，以缓解这些问题。
