The detection rate of the eggs and unsporulated oocysts from the intestine and feces were 37.8%(240 heads). In the concerns of complicated infection, infection with single, double and triple were 43.4%(217 heads), 3.4%(22 heads) and 0.1%(1 heads), respectively. The parasites isolated were identified as eimeria spp from 205 heads, strongyloides avium from 36 heads and demanyssus spp from 23 heads.
