Goat production, in north west Serbia (Mačva district) play important role in providing economical income.. Goats in this region are usually kept under semi-intensive (pasture/stable) condition. One of the main health problems in this kind of production system is connected to infestation with helminths parasites, which results in direct and indirect economical losses. The present study was conducted in 41 goat flocks from the territory of northwest part Serbia in the period of March 2016 to January 2017, using into consideration the sesonal occurance and prevalence of isolated gastrointestinal parasites. Coprological and post-mortem examination, in a total of 410 fecal samples and 23 post mortem examined goats, revealed the presence of the following gastrointestinal helminths: Teladorsagia (Ostertagia) circumcincta, O.trifurcata, O.ostertagi, Trichostrongylus colubriformis, T. axei, Nematodirus spathiger, N. filicolis, Haemonchus contortus, Marshallagia marshalli, Bunostomum trigonocephalum, Chabertia ovina, Oesophagostomum venulosum, Cooperia curticei and C.oncophora. The result of this study is a survey of sesonal dinamics of helminth species affecting goats in the region of north west Serbia, also an implication for development of strategic prevention and therapeutic mesures.
