Summary

Introduction

There are about 240.86 lakh cattle in Bangladesh (DLS, 2018) These animals are important for good quality meat, milk, leathers and a source of income to farmers. Climatic condition of Bangladesh is highly favourable for survival, development and reproduction of different parasites and the temperature, humidity and rainfall of the country are highly fevourable for parasites (Sarker et al, 2015). For this reason the present study has been undertaken in Animal Health Laboratory, Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, Regional Station, Baghabari, Sirajganj with the following objectives: to find out the prevalence and seasonal variation of various flukes and gastro-intestinal parasite infections in native and crossbred cattle. This paper describes the important clinical problems of cattle at Baghabari Milking zone of Bangladesh
