ABSTRACT
Conclusion:
At the end of the study, all helminths were found in the digestive system and all of them were nematods. In conclusion, it has been predicted that nematodes that settle in the digestive system of geese are frequently encountered and this may be a problem for goose breeders.
Results:
According to macroscopic and microscopic examination, 5 different helminth species were detected in 53 (82.8%) geese: Baruscapillaria obsignata (59.4%), B. anseris (32.8%), Amidostomum anseris (9.4%), Trichostrogylus tenuis (1.6%), and Heterakis sp. (1.6%).
Methods:
Within the scope of the study, the digestive and respiratory system organs of 64 domestic geese were collected. Organ sets were taken separately, and the contents of each organ were examined.
Objective:
This research was carried out to determine the digestive and respiratory system helminths of domestic geese collected from Canik, Çarşamba, Havza, Kavak, Terme, and Tekkeköy districts representing Samsun province.
Keywords:
Domestic geese, helminth, digestive-respiratoric system, Samsun
