Coccidiofauna and peculiarities of enteroparasitocenosis in pigs were studied accoordingly to animals' age, technology of their sustenance and other factors. Also studies were carried out on epizootic invasion of coccidiosis in pigs. The following eight species of coccidia were established: Eimeria debliecki, E.scabra, E.perminuta, E.polita, E.spinosa, E.scrofae, E.suis and Isospora suis. The most widely spread species of coccidia was E.debliecki. E.scrofae and I.suis were mainly found in piglets up to 4 months of age. The richest coccidiofauna was established in weaning piglets in late summer period. The species E.spinosa and E.scrofae were rarely diagnosed.
