Summary

Introduction

Chickens are major source of dietary protein supply all over the world. This has been clearly demonstrated by the fact that during the last three decades, egg production has doubled and poultry meat production has trebled Anon [1] and it is expected that the poultry production will continue to increase FAO [2]. Recent trends in commercial poultry production has moved layer hens from in-door production systems to production systems with access to out-door pens LF [3]. In poultry with access to out-door pens, a number of helminth species are widely distributed Ssenyonga, et al [4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. It is assumed that helminths constitute a health problem and low productivity, but there are no exact reports on this issue
