To evaluate the prevalence of endoparasites in Indian peafowl (four mutant form; black shoulder, pied, white and common peafowl), freshly egested fecal samples (n=100) from six different captive facilities were collected. The prevalence of endoprasites among all the Indian peafowl ranged from 46.6%-66.7%. The highest prevalence was recorded in black shoulder peafowl 66.7% followed by pied peafowl (66.1%), white peafowl (59.1%) and common peafowl (46.6%). The prevalence of endoparasites was highest 74.3% at Gatwala Wildlife Park, Faisalabad and lowest 30% at Changa Manga Wildlife Park, Kasur. The overall prevalence in female was found higher (58.9%) as compared to male (56.8%). A total of seven species of endoparasites, Capillaria 34%, Ascaridia 29%, Heterakis 13.4%, Eimeria 12.5%, Strongyloides 12.5%, Giardia 7.31%, and Syngamous 4.55% were recorded, with mixed infection 34%. The variations in prevalence in study birds and in study sites were because of good and bad management strategies.
