Species recorded were Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Teladorsagia circumcincta, Skrjabinema ovis, Trichuris ovis, Haemonchus contortus and Nematodirus spathiger, and overall prevalence of helminths was 79% (95/120). The most frequently detected nematodes in the goats were T. ovis (62.5%) followed by T. colubriformis (52.5%) and T. circumcincta (48.33%). The helminth parasites counts in the goats reached the maximum levels in autumn. In relation to sex, the occurrence of helminth parasites was 73.6% in female and 86.6% in male goats.
