[Helminths in an Askaniia-Nova herd of eland and experiences in eradicating Strongylata infestation].

Parasitological complex studies of the available eland stock (60 individuals) were first carried out. As a result 100 % infection rate of the herd and the age dynamics of strongylatoses were revealed. The autopsy of animals have shown that five species of six species of nematodes and one species of cestodes are common parasites of ruminants of the Ukraine steppe zone and two species are specific parasites of eland. For sanitation of the herd an anthelminthic preparation produced in Hungary was used. The preparation decreased the initial infection rate to 7.3%.
