The coproscopic technics of flotation and sedimentation realized on Djallonke and Oudah sheeps and on guinean dwarf goats have shown parasites like&nbsp;<em>Dicrocoeluim</em>&nbsp;sp,&nbsp;<em>Monieza expanza</em>&nbsp;sp,&nbsp;<em>Cappillaria</em>&nbsp;sp,&nbsp;<em>Strongyloide</em>&nbsp;sp likewise strongylides eggs and&nbsp;<em>Trichostrongylide</em>&nbsp;commonly called ’’strongles eggs’’ and some oocysts coccidiosis like&nbsp;<em>Eimeria</em>&nbsp;sp. This study has revealed that the animal global infestation rate to helminth and oocysts like&nbsp;<em>Eimeria</em>&nbsp;sp was from 82.47% in goats versus 80.77% in sheeps. The helminthic was more raised in sheeps (69.87%) than goats (36.25%) (P &lt; 0.05). The strongles were the most helminths met with the rates of 89.65% in goats and 83.62% in sheeps. The coccidiosis prevalence was 87.5% in goats versus 83.13% in sheeps. By considering the Communes, the rate of coccidian oocysts were 61.84%, 91.01%, and 98.76% respectively in Djidja, Bohicon and Zogbodomey. According to coprology methods used, the flotation was shown to be more sensible with 73.95% of positive samples in comparison to the sedimentation (63.57%). The predominance of nematodes and trematodes’s eggs can explain this difference in the sensitivities. A close collaboration between the Veterinary laboratory of Bohicon, the agents of the rural development in the field and the breeders by strategical intervention based on the association ’’diagnosis-deworming’’ at the end of dry season and the rainy season must be considered. However, the development of this type of farming , accelerated by the expectation of products more "natural" by consumers, increases the risk parasite.</p>}, number={11}, journal={Scientific Journal of Animal Science}, author={Yao Akpo and Sènan Fréjus Adjalala and Eloi Yatchégnon Attakpa and Marc Napoléon Assogba}, year={2016}, month={Nov.}, pages={361-369} }
