Introduction India recorded the fastest growth rate in poultry meat production during 1985-95 with a growth rate about 18% per annum which perhaps no other country or agro industry in the world has recorded, during that period. At present more than 400 million broiler chicks are produced annually.  Village chicken production is constrained by many extrinsic factors among which malnutrition, poor management and the absence of attributed to limited housing and veterinary care services. Furthermore, poor genetic potential due to lack of selection and predation are also potential threats to productivity.  Farmers of Solapur and Osmanabad used fertilizer which is formed from domestic fowl in their fields to increase soil fertility. But theses domestic fowl are infected with helminth infection which is responsible for mortality and economic losses, in a number of instances. The domestic chicken feeds on a wide variety of food substance ranging from grains, fruits and insects which may harbor infective stages of parasites thereby responding them to parasitic infection particularly gastro-intestinal parasites. Helminth parasite is a major cause of the decline in health of Gallus gallus domesticus (delay of growth, reduced egg production, death of young birds).   2.   Material and Method:  The Gallus gallus domesticus are collected from different places of Solapur and Osmanabad Dist. The helminth parasites were collected, preserved, processed to a permanent slide and identified under compound microscope. Drawings are made with the aid of camera lucida. The identification was made with the help of “systema Helminthum” Vol II “Helminths of vertebrates” by Yamaguti (1961)[1]. Infection of helminth parasites were determined by following formula  Incidence of Infection =   Infected  hostsTotal  hosts  examined X 100  Intensity of Infection  =Number of parasites collected in a sampleNumber of infected hosts  Density of Infection  =Number of parasites collected in a sampleTotal hosts examined  Index of Infection = No .of  hosts  infected  x No .of  parasite  collected(Total  hosts  examined )2   Table 1: Seasonal variation in the population Dynamics of Helminth Parasite in Gallus gallus domesticus from Solapur and Osmanabad District during the year Aug. 2016 to July 2017 Month Name of Parasite No Of Host examine No of host Infected Total No of Host Infected Total no parasite Collected Incidence Intensity Density Index of infection Habitat /locality Aug.16 Cestode 45 28 8 10 17.77 1.25 0.22 0.039 Pangri  Trematod 10 0 0 0 0 0 Nematode 5 1 11.11 0.2 0.22 0.002 Sept.16 cestode 45 20 4 13 8.88 3.25 0.28 0.0256  Hipparga Trematode 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nematode 16 2 35.55 0.125 0.044 0.0158   Cestode 45 5 4 10 8.88 2.5 0.22 0.019  Vairag Oct.16 Trematod 0 0 0 0 0 0   Nematode 0 1 2.22 0.25 0.022 0.0004 Nov.16 Cestode 45 30 20 15 44.44 0.75 0.33 0.0003  Barshi Trematod 10 0 0 0 0 0 Nematode 10 0 33.33 0.1 0 0 Des.16 Cestode 45 32 20 22 44.44 1.1 0.48 0.00054  Solapur Trematod 7 0 0 0 0.02 0 Abstract The present research work deals with the study of seasonal survey on the prevalence of helminth infection in Gallus gallus domesticus from Solapur and Osmanabad region.

Result and Discussion   The data of seasonal variation of helminth parasites of Gallus gallus domesticus from different places of Solapur and Osmanabad Dist. (M.S) India observed during Aug 2016- July 2017.  The analysis of data showed that the occurrences of helminth parasites variable according to season. The high incidences, intensity, density and index of infection of all the helminth parasites occurred in summer season followed by winter season where as lower infections in monsoon season .The intensity varies greatly with respect to helminth parasites and host species, host size and feeding habitats, season and locality.  On incidences works have been done by Wunder (1939)[2], Calentine and Fredrickson (1965)[3] and Kanavev (1965)[4].  According to the Kennedy (1971, 1975 and 1977) [5,6] and Rodhe (1993)[7] the temp, humidity and rainfall, feeding habitats of host, availability of infective hosts and parasite maturation, and such factors are responsible for influencing the parasitic infections.  4. Conclusion  After the analysis of data the present study can be concluded that the high infections of helminth parasite (incidences, intensity, density and index of infection) are occurred in summer season followed by winter whereas low in monsoon season. This type of results indicated that environmental factors and feeding habitat are influencing the seasonality of parasitic infection either directly or indirectly.
