Résumé

A total of 1331 faecal samples were collected to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of donkeys in Darazo, Ganjuwa and Ningi Local Government Areas of Bauchi State, Nigeria. Season, Body Condition Score (BCS), and other parameters were considered. Samples were analyzed using standard coprological methods. The overall prevalence of 52.7% and five species of parasites were identified including: Strongyles (34.3%), Gastrodiscus spp (2.4%), Strongyloides (19.6%). Trichonema spp (42.3%), Tricodontophorus (1.3%). Body Condition Score, age and season have significant influence on the parasitic burden (p<0.05). Donkeys in the localities should be strategically treated against parasitic infection to enhance their condition and welfare.
