Parasitic effect on economic performances of Black Bengal Goat

The present investigation was carried out to assess the prevalence and intensity of infection of gastrointestinal parasites in field conditions haemato-biochemical profile of infected goats selection on the basis of GI parasites particularly nematode load to evaluate its effect on productive and reproductive performances of the progenies of the does at different level of infection in field level with a suitable experimental design in farm condition and with a detailed investigation on the socio- economic status of the goat farmers of the study area. Result revealed that apart from other selection criteria like growth biometry reproductive performance of ancestors selection of GI nematode resistant Black Bengal goats on the basis of faecal egg count of nematodes and its indicator trait i.e. PCV may be considered as an important selection tool for improvement of Black Bengal goat in the farmers’ house towards economic goat rearing and hence this breeding practice has a potential for improving the livelihood of the poor farmers.
