Abstract
Singh, H., Mishra, A.K. and Rao, J.R. 2006. Occurrence of capaillarid eggs in turkeys and guinea fowls in India. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 29: 7–8.
To know the prevalence of capillariosis in turkeys and guinea fowls at an organised farm in India, pooled faecal samples from 102 turkeys and 150 guinea fowls were subjected to floatation techniques for detection of eggs. Representative faecal samples revealed 5% turkeys and 46% guinea fowls positive for Capillaria sp. The capillarid eggs from turkeys were in the range of 42 x 25 μm while those from guinea fowls ranged 37 x 20 μm. This appears to be the first report on occurrence of Capillaria sp. in turkeys and guinea fowls in India.
