Sažetak

Oocysts prevalence of Eimeria coccidia was investigated on 641 faecal samples of cattle. The study involved cows from 8 dairy farms and 6 beef cattle farms from different Croatian region. Eimeria oocysts were determined in 14.19% of the animals. Dominant Eimeria were E. bovis and E. zurnii. In a small percentage were represented less pathogenic coccidia. E. bovis was found in 12.01% and E. zurnii in 4.36% feces samples. E bovis is present in 13 (92.85%) of 14 objects, and E. zurnii in 8 (57.14%) of 14 objects. The largest number of animals was infested with one species, the smallest number of animals with three species of Eimeria. It was found that 550 examined animals (85.80%) (n = 641) showed no coccidia oocysts. Eimeria coccidia oocysts have been expanded more on beef cattle farms than on dairy farms. The frequent occurrence of E. bovis in relation to E. zurnii, both in dairy cows as well as in fattening cattle. Calves up to one year are stronger infested in comparison with animals over a year.
