Abstract :
Intestinal parasitic infections in birds are constantly countered, even when they occur in low amounts,
may result in subclinical diseases. The report is based after investigating the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in birds in Manipur. A cross–sectional study was conducted between June 2011 and June 2012. 150
fresh faecal samples of oilers were collected from 7 commercial farms. The samples screened for intestinal parasitic
infection on the Eimeria species of Broiler chicken, Gallus gallus domesticus in Imphal, Manipur revealed the presence of five species – Eimeria tenella, E. maxima, E. mitis, E. acervulina and E. praecox. Morphological descriptions
and photomicrographs are provided. Infection intensity was higher in mud floored farms than in cement floored farms.
Younger birds are more susceptible to infection. Among the species of Eimeria found, Eimeria tenella was the most
commonly located species and least found species were Eimeria mitis and Eimeria praecox.
