Helminthoses have an important role in the pathology of farm-bred pheasants. During the period 2009-2011 we examined a total of 693 pheasant chicks up to 14 weeks of age and 466 birds above 14 weeks of age by parasitological necropsy at 8 pheasantries in Serbia. A total of 216 samples of faeces from birds 4-14 weeks of age and 348 samples of faeces from birds above 14 weeks of age were examined using sedimentation and flotation concentration technique. The following nematode species were found: Syngamus trachea, Ascaridia galli, Ascaridia columbaae, Heterakis isolonche, Heterakis gallinarum, Capillaria gallinae, Capillaria columbae and Capillaria phasianina. The optimal results in therapy were gained by applying anthelmintic drugs (mebendazole, fenbendazole, levamizole, tetramizolchloride, cambendazole, tiabendasole, pyranteltartarat and piperazine) mixed with food.
