Abstract

Faecal worm egg counts of goats farms in Penang were monitored in relation to the prevailing weather conditions over a period of 6 months. Distinct peaks occurred during the months which received higher rainfall. Other meteorological factors such as temperature and humidity varied very little throughout the study period. The humid tropical environment of this part of the island was favourable for the development of various species of trichostrongylid nematodes namely Haemonchus Trichostrongylus Oesophagostomum and Bunostomum. Throughout the study period Haemonchus was the predominant species in both the two farms
