Incidences of parasitic infestation were in native chicken rather high in the southern part of Thailand. Parasites collected from 200 chicken were studied. The rate of infection was 81 % (162/200). The site of infection and identified parasites were as follows : Eye -Oxyspirura mansoni 12.96 %; Esophagus and crop -Capillaria contorta 4.32 %; Crop -Gongylonema ingluvicola 16.05 %; Proventriculus -Dispharynx nasata 7.41 %; -Tetrameres sp. 13.58 %; Gizzard -Cheilospirura hamulosa 5.56 %; Intestine -Ascaridia galli 40.12 %; Duodenum -Strongyloides avium 1.85 %; -Amoebotaenia cuneata 2.47 %; Intestine -Raillietina echinobrothida 69.75 %; Kidney -Tanaisia sp. 0.62 %; Bursa of fabricious -Prosthogonimus pellucidus 2.47 %; -Prosthogonimus macrorchis 2.47 %; Cecum -Heterakis gallinalum 11.73 %. The investigations indicated that one chicken might be infected by only one kind of parasite (53.70 %) and the other might be infected by 2 - 6 kinds (46.30 %). These studies will be helpful to select suitable drug to deworm chicken.
