FAUNISTIC AND TAXONOMIC ANALYSIS OF GALLIFORMES HELMINTHS OF SOUTHERN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

These days, the regular increase in the number of the world's population, the increase in human demand for food, including poultry products, has a negative effect on the objects of the animal world, which occupy an important place in natural and artificial landscapes. The increase in the number of helminth fauna, especially in natural and anthropogenic areas, is the reason for the decrease in the diversity of chickens. Therefore, determining the species composition of helminths found in chickens, substantiating their ecology, and assessing the negative impact of helminthic diseases caused by parasitic worms on the development and productivity of the poultry industry is of urgent scientific and practical importance.

For the wide development of poultry farming in the world, in addition to management and organizational activities, great attention is paid to the health of birds and the environment in which they live, the establishment of adaptation characteristics of their helminth fauna to the elements of the landscape, and the development of the poultry sector on the basis of socio-ecological principles. In this place, among other things, the helminth fauna of chickens and poultry related to various biogeocenoses and human economy was determined, the parasitic diseases caused by their life forms were studied, and modern ways of combating them were developed. It should be noted that chickens, the main representative of the bird class, have an important place in the food chain, and their biodiversity changes depending on the influence of anthropogenic and helminths, which are a component of various biocenoses.
