Abstract

The seasonal occurrence of coccidial oocysts was determined in a mixed herd of indigenous goats and cross-bred sheep at Nebo, Northern Province, South Africa. The herd of c. 30 sheep was housed with c. 70 goats in 1 camp. Over a period of 14 months, 114 faecal specimens were collected from sheep and 369 from goats and the number of oocysts per gram of faeces (OPG) determined. The mean OPG value for the adult sheep (1187.9) was significantly (p = 0.035) lower than the mean OPG value for the adult goats (7042.9). The highest mean value was recorded in the adult sheep during March 1996 (3044.4) and in adult goats during June 1995 (51568.7).

摘要

在南非北省内博的一个本地山羊和杂交绵羊混合养殖群中，对球虫卵囊的季节性出现情况进行了测定。约30只绵羊与约70只山羊圈养在一个营地。在14个月的时间里，从绵羊身上采集了114份粪便样本，从山羊身上采集了369份粪便样本，并测定了每克粪便中的卵囊数（OPG）。成年绵羊的平均OPG值（1187.9）显著低于成年山羊的平均OPG值（7042.9）（p = 0.035）。最高平均值出现在1996年3月的成年绵羊中（3044.4）以及1995年6月的成年山羊中（51568.7）。
