A survey of helminth parasites of domestic fowl carried out
in Faisalabad (Pakistan) between 1994 and 1996 showed a
high prevalence of nemaodes infestation in broiler and
local poultry. Ascardia galli and Heterakis spp. were more
prevalent in both groups of birds. Syngamus tracheae and
Capillaria spp. were also present in both groups .
Raillietina spp. were the only cestode found in both the
groups of birds. Postharmostomum commutatum
(trematode) was occurred only in local fowl.
