INFECTION OF DONKEYS IN NORTHERN KARAKALPAKSTAN WITH FASCIOLA GIGANTICA (COBBOLD, 1855)

Today, in our republic, particular attention is paid to the study of helminths of domestic and farm animals and the diseases they cause. In this regard, among other things, on the basis of the program measures implemented in this direction, the types of helminths that parasitize animals have been determined; the negative effects of helminthosis on the animal body have been detected and the control of the number of parasites have been achieved. In our republic, various diseases have a negative impact on the development of the livestock sector. Among such diseases, helminthiasis, including fasciolosis, is of particular importance. The causative agents of these diseases parasitize the bile ducts and gall bladder of animals and cause serious physiological changes in the host's organism. Animals may appear healthy in outer space; therefore preventive measures are not taken. As a result, the growth and development of young animals slow down, sometimes causing their death.
