Abstract:
In the present study, fecal parasitic load of Rohilkhandi goat kids were evaluated due to injectable antioxidants and Levamisole during PPR vaccination. 18 goats were randomly distributed in three groups based on their body weight and age i.e., CON: vaccinated with no treatment; T1: vaccinated with Levamisole (commercial available) administration; T2: vaccinated with antioxidants administration (vitamin E and selenium). The study period lasted for 14 days. The data recorded revealed a decrease from day 0 to day 14 in shedding of oocysts per gram and OPG of feces of all animals. However, the variations in and PEG OPG between groups at different time periods were statistically non-significant (p>0.05). It can be stated that both Levamisole and antioxidants supplementation can help in reducing PEG and OPG in feces of animals during PPR vaccination.
