Mammadov, E.
In the article was considered the especially of avitellinosis spreading in sheep kept in the flat territories of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Studying the dynamics of avitellinosis in the mentioned territories, it is established that sheep are infected with helminths almost during the whole pasture season. Avitellinoses are intestinal helminthic diseases that cause huge economic damage to farm animals; the productivity of adult animals is reduced, there is a significant waste of young animals.In 2018-2019, the distribution of Avitellina centripunctata species was studied in Sadarak and Sharur districts using carpological and helminthological autopsy methods of sheep small intestine. The highest infestation of Avitellina centripunctata was observed in sheep over a year old during autumn period. In lambs, avitellinae appear in May-June. Infection with avitellinosis of animals kept in farms of two districts was rather high (average infection rate 42.5%). During the research it was found that more young animals are infected with avitellina in spring and older animals in autumn. As a result of the conducted studies, it was found that infection of animals kept in lowlands of Nakhchivan AR and not transferred to mountain pastures with avitellinosis is quite high.
