Abstract: To understand the infection status of intestinal parasites in Yaoshan white goat, Henan province, a total of 63 fresh fecal specimens from a farm were collected and examined the presence of oocysts or eggs using the centrifugation method, the Lugol's iodine-solution staining method and the Sheather's sugar flotation. Seventeen intestinal parasite species were discovered and the overall infection rate was 98.4%, there were Eimeria spp.(n=9), Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Entamoeba, Strongylus spp., Nematodirus, Trichuris, Moniezia and Trematoda. Eimeria spp.was found with the highest infection rate of 95.2%. The Coccidia oocysts obtained were identified and nine Eimeria species were discovered, with most of which being mixed infections (the highest number of coinfection reaching to five). The infection of intestinal parasites in Yaoshan white goat was very common, thus, necessary measures of prevention and curation are needed to strengthen.
