Abstract
This study was conducted to identify various ectoparasites infesting common goat Capra aegagrus hircus. Examinations of goats for ectoparasites were carried out in Village Chandrawal and Telibagh region of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, during four months, from February to May 2022. One hundred fifty-seven (157) goats were examined, in which 74 (47.13%) goats were infected with one or more species of ectoparasites. Out of 157 goats, 15 (9.55%) goats were infested with Rhipicephalus spp, 35 (22.29%) goats were infested with Hyalomma spp, 7 (23.56%) goats were infested with Linognathus spp and 15 (9.55%) goats were infested with Ctenocephalides spp. Identification of these ectoparasites was done based on morphological characteristics. Ectoparasites were identified morphologically by using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
