In the present study, 150 farm chicken and 100 desi chicken were screened for the existence of parasitic helminthes. Among the desi chicken, 61 were reported positive for helminthes parasites by gross examination of gastrointestinal tract. In these 61 positive cases, 42 (68.85%) were found positive for nematodes, 6 (9.83%) for cestodes and remaining 13 (21.31%) had mixed infection; Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum and tapeworm. However, no adult helminthes were observed in farm chicken except that the gastroinstential tract (GIT) contents of chicken have shown the presence of parasitic eggs by microscopic examination. The highest occurrence of helminthes parasitic infections 68.9% was recorded in growers, followed by adults (67.9%) and chicks (27.8%). This could be attributed to the existing maternal immunity in the chicks and the longer exposure of the older chicken to both helminthes and ova from the surroundings. Female desi chicken (65.5%) was more infected as compared to male desi chicken (58.8%).
