Ascaridia galli is a common intestinal parasite found in chickens. Some synonyms for this parasitic worm include poultry roundworm, chicken roundworm, and nematode. These worms can cause significant harm to poultry health, damaging the intestinal tract and reducing the growth rate of infected birds. As such, it is important for poultry farmers to take steps to prevent and control infestations of ascaridia galli. These prevention measures may include regular deworming, proper sanitation practices, and diligent monitoring of poultry health. By staying vigilant and informed, poultry farmers can help ensure the health and wellbeing of their flocks.
