Abstract
A protozoan disease called Eimeriosis, which affects cattle all over the world, is brought on by different Eimeria species. In the Guangua district of Northwest Ethiopia, this study set out to identify the Eimeria species already present and evaluate the risk factors that go along with them. A cross-sectional study with random sampling was carried out using Coprological methods from July 2019 to March 2020. In this study, the prevalence of coccidia species was 17.83% (82/460), with Eimeria bovis, Eimeria zuernii and mixed infections having a respective prevalence of 7.83%, 3.25%, and 6.74%. The severity of coccidia (Eimeria) infection was shown to be statistically significant (p 0.05) when cattle age and month of the year were taken into account. The season, sex, or breed of cattle did not, however, appear to be associated with coccidial infection in statistically significant (p > 0.05) ways. The study area had a moderate prevalence of cattle Eimeriosis. To implement strategic control and prevention measures, it is, therefore, necessary to conduct a study using molecular techniques to identify Eimeria species and to raise cattle owners' awareness of management practices.
