Parasitic diseases are a problem that affects all poultry farms, whether large commercial or small backyard farms, where economic losses can be significant due to parasites in poultry; a survey on intestinal parasites of chickens was carried out in the Souk Ahras region over a period of 6 months. The faeces of a total of 90 chickens from different farm types were examined by flotation to determine gastrointestinal parasites. The results obtained from these chickens showed that the faeces examined were 100 % infected for the different types of farms; the qualitative analysis shows a flocculation of helminths and protozoa’s oocytes across the different farms with the following percentage of infection: broiler chicken (Ascaridia: 50%; Heterakis: 35%; Eimeria: 15%), the laying hen (Ascaridia: 33.33%; Heterakis: 33.33%; coccidial oocysts: 33.34%) and the local chiken (Ascaridia: 40%; Heterakis: 35%; Eimeria: 15%; Syngamus: 5%; Capillaria: 5%). It is suggested that an intensive poultry management system and regular chicken control should be encouraged in the study area.
