Abstract: To understand the infection status of intestinal parasites in Jiaxian Red cattle,Henan province,a total of 218 fresh fecal samples from farms or backyard farmers were collected and were examined the presence of oocysts or eggs using the Lugol’s iodine stain,the Sheather’s sugar flotation,and the modified acid-fast stain methods. The overall infection rate of parasites was 66.5%. Four intestinal parasites were detected,the infection rates of Coccidium spp.,Strongylus spp.,Trichuris spp. and Moniezia spp. were 61.5%,2.3%,6.9%, 7.8%,respectively. The mixed infection rate was 11.5%. The ifection intensity of eggs or oocysts in feces was mainly mild. Our findings indicated the infection of intestinal parasites was very common,thus,necessary measures of prevention and curation are needed to strengthen.
