Abstract

A parasitological study at Campo FJorido in the State of Mitias Gerais using naturally infested chickens was performed. These were classified in three classes: cliiks, cockerels and adult chickens. The results obtained can be summarized as follows:
— The adult birds showed 31.8% of negative fecal examinations fo r parasites
while only 3.2% of the samples from chicks were negative for endoparasites.
— The percentages of infestations by Syngamus, Spirurida and Ascaridia
or Heterakis were larger in chicks than in adult chickens. On the other hand the percentage of parasitism by Capillaria, Strongyloides and Fimehand
among chicks and adult chickens were almost uniform.
