Abstract

The hemoncose is an important parasitic disease to livestock, being the species sheep and goats the most affected. This disorder is caused by the nematode Haemonchus sp. abomasal parasite, measuring 1 to 2.5 cm. This is the most pathogenic helminthes, causing reduction of weight gain, severe anemia, edema of the gastric mucosa promoting decreasing the absorption of nutrients, external swelling called "edema of dewlap", and it’s characteristic signs of hemoncose, besides causing death in severe parasitosis. The aim of this study was describe the abomasal parasite fauna and sexual parasitism with Haemonchus contortus. Abomasal samples were collected after slaughter of goats, being recovered a total of 12460 helminths. The slaughtered animals were observed before and after slaughter. Before the slaughter were observed hair bristly and opaque, beyond severe anemia. After killing was observed abomasal parasitism by H.contortus and T.axei, where the parasitic load of H. contortus was accounted for more than 98% of parasitism, being equivalent the relation between male and female, in addition of the parasitism was observed mucosal lesions caused by fixation of nematode in abomasum, and pale carcass.
