This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of
helminths among domestic pigs. Totally 135 local pigs and
cross-breed pigs were sampled. The faecal samples were
examined by using Stoll`s ova counting method. Among the
sampled pigs 75 (55.5%) were infected with one or more
species of helminths. The prevalence of Metastrongylus sp.
and Fasciolopsis sp. was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the
pigs of 0-12 months age and 0-70 kg body weight groups
compared to over 12 months and 70 kg body weight groups.
The prevalence of Fasciolopsis sp. was significantly (p<0.05)
higher in males and local pigs than females and cross-breed
pigs, respectively. In conclusion, pigs are infected with several
species of helminths. So regular dewarming is necessary
which will not only develop the health status of the
domestic pigs but also will reduce the risk of the zoonoses.
