hunted by the hunters were microscopically examined by means of zinc
sulphate flotation method for coccidial agents. Thirtyeight out of sixty
partridges (63.33%) were fo und to be infected with Coccidia. Pozitive
fecal samples were mixed with a 2.5 percent solution of potassium bichromate
and placed separately into petri dishes for spörulation.<p>
Two species of Eimeria were found in the examination of sporulated
fecal samples. They were Eimeria•caucasica and Eimeria kofoidi. The
infestation rateof the Eimeria caucasica, Eimeria kofoidi and mix infection
of the se species were 18.33%, 25% and 23.33% respectively. |
