Abstract
Objective: The present study has been designed to determine the prevalence, species composition and associated risk factors with Eimeria sp. infections of cattle and buffaloes in semi-arid eastern plains of Rajasthan to establish epidemiological data which will help to formulate effective control strategies in near future.Methods: A total of 649 faecal samples were collected randomly from dairy animals of different four districts of semi-arid eastern plains of Rajasthan during summer, rainy and winter season from March 2016 to January 2017 and examined qualitatively by faecal floatation to visualize Eimeria sp. oocyst and quantitatively by modified McMaster egg counting technique. Identification of morphotypes was done using established identification keys following sporulation and micrometry.Results: An overall prevalence of 27.73% (180/649) was recorded for coccidiosis in dairy animals with a significant difference (p
