Prevalence and Diversity of Helminths on Faecal Matter of Local Backyard Fowls in Bishnupur Districts, Manipur, India

Résumé

Domestic chickens have significant contributory role in national economy and social world. In Manipur, especially in rural areas, farmers and agriculturists still depend economically on these animals. Poultry faeces may contain many harmful parasites, which can pose significant health risks to consumers. These parasites may then be transmitted to man by contaminated soil, drinking water supply or by mechanical vectors like flies and rodents. This is a neglected area of public health and deserves more scientific attention. The study was conducted to find out various gastrointestinal helminths and their prevalence in domestic fowls using Specimens processed through the Sedimentation and Floatation method. This research aimed to determine the prevalence and infection of endoparasites on backyard fowls in different villages of Bishnupur District of Manipur. The faecal samples were randomly collected from different backyard management areas located in Bishnupur District. 490 faecal samples were taken from backyard fowls of 11 different villages namely Nambol, Oinam, Keinou, Toubul, Thanga, Moirang, Ningthoukhong, Kumbi, Nachou, Ngaikhong and Khoijuman Khullen. The examinations taken in this study were faecal examination using native, sediment, and floating methods. Result showed that 73.87% samples were positive for helminthiasis infection consisting of thirteen different genera namely, Ascaridiagalli (65.51%), Raillietina sp. (58.97%) Heterakissp. (43.06%), Choanotaenia sp. (26.93%) Hymenolepissp. (3.06%), Sabulura sp. (3.46%), Strongyloides sp. (11.83%), Strongylus sp. (8.77%), Devaineasp. (15.51%), Echinostoma sp. (6.12%), Chaonotaenia infundibulum (3.87%), Capillaria sp. (29.59%) and Raillenentinatetragona (26.53%). This information will help the backyard farmers to assess their fowls regarding various helminth infections and how to minimize the parasitic infection, thereby increasing productivity and be helpful for the researchers, poultry farmers and local veterinarians to develop strategies for both treatment and control of the gastrointestinal helminths affecting domestic fowls. Keeping in view the public health importance of parasites in poultry faeces, open poultry shops should be cleaned and properly sanitized to mitigate health risks to humans and also the environment. There was no statistically significant difference (p<0.05) on the helminthiasis infection degree of local backyard fowls.
