Helminthofauna of Buffaloes In The Territory Of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic

This article describes the visible helminth parasites in buffalo. For the first time in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic we studied helminthofauna of buffalo and found that buffaloes were infected with 20 species of helminths. The infection started from 5 weeks of age. Severity of the infection was examined in relation to the age of buffaloes and characteristics of pastures. In the Nakhchivan AR the number of buffaloes are low compared with cattle but they are of particular importance in the formation of the helminth fauna.
