The spread area of Belgrade has extremely favorable conditions for modern agricultural
production (climate, agricultural land, watercourses, developed processing industry). This
economic branch is of strategic importance for supplying Belgrade with food products, along
with the resources that abound in the wider environment (Vojvodina and Šumadija). There are
numerous villages here, where households keep cattle in small herds or mini-farm, usually in
semi-intensive breeding. During our study performed on 2018 we examined faeces of 190 cattle
from 42 herds and 29 cattle by post-mortem examination. Determination of eggs and adult
parasites performed on their morphological characteristics. The coprological examination
established the presence of gastrointestinal helminth eggs in 39.6% of samples. The majority
of cattle were infected with two and fewer number with three or four parasite species. At post mortem examination of cattle we found Haemonchus contortus we occured in 57,53%,
Ostertagia ostertagi in 55,63%, Trichonstrongylus axeis in 49.37%, Cooperia oncophora in
32.57%, Ostertagia trifurcata in 29.79%, Oesophagostomum radiatum 21.22%, Toxocara
vitulorum17.52%, Dicocelium dendriticum 15.26%, Paramphistomum ichikawai in 14.21%,
Strongyloides papillosus 11.51%, Moniezia benedeni in 9.47% and Trichuris discolor in 6.52%
