Abstract

Fecal samples collected from 1,424 cattle were examined for the presence of Coccidia species. A total of eleven species of Eimeria was identified; among the species identified as above E. bovis and E. zuernii appeared with relatively higher infection rates. The infection rate was most prevalent in Korean native cattle (29.07%), followed by the imported beef cattle (18.41%) and the dairy cattle (11. 99%). The number of species within positive samples ranged from one to four.
