During the period from January to July 2004, a total of 175 rumen specimens and 211 intestine specimens from buffaloes slaughtered at Hilla abattoir were examined for parasites of rumen and small intestine.

ecaudatum, Entodinium caudatum and Ophryoscolex caudatus.

The highest percentage of infection was with I.
