    Abstract: Parasitic diseases are one of the important
causes of morbidity and mortality of domestic animals.
This research study was conducted to identify the various
gastrointestinal helminth parasites for the comparative
analysis of gastrointestinal parasites among goats and
buffaloes. The total of 100 fecal samples were collected
by random sampling method, 50 from goats and 50 from
buffaloes in May/June, 2017. Parasitological procedures
including direct and indirect methods (sedimentation and
floatation) were used for the identification of
gastrointestinal helminths parasites. Appropriate and
suitable statistical tool was used for data analysis. The
overall prevalence of helminthiasis was 80% in goat and
84% in buffalo. The <i>Strongyloides</i> sp. (42%) showed the
higher prevalence in goat and <i>Toxocara</i> sp. 66% in
buffaloes. The <i>Strongyloides</i>, <i>Ascaris</i> and
<i>Oesophagostomum</i> sp. were similar helminth parasites
found both goats and buffaloes. The result shows that the
prevalence of S<i>trongyloides</i>, <i>Trichuris</i> and <i>Toxocara</i> sp.
is significantly higher (p<0.05). Whereas there is no
significant difference in the prevalence of Ascaris and
<i>Oesophagostomum</i> sp. between goats and buffaloes
(p>0.05). In conclusion, nematode is dominant both in
goats and buffaloes. In goat highest infection is caused by
Strongyloides sp. and lowest infection is caused by
<i>Oesophagostomum</i>, <i>Trichuris</i> and <i>Moniezia</i> sp. are only
found in goat but not in buffaloes.
