الخلاصة:
The present study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of the main gastrointestinal parasites and ectoparasites infesting domestic rabbits reared in both traditional and rational farms from the Djelfa region. During a period of 4 months, 120 faecal samples were collected from 10 farms in six localities located in this steppic region. All samples were analyzed by microscopic examination using two techniques, including the flotation and modified Ziehl Neelsen staining. Our results showed that females are more infected than males. Rabbits aged 3 to 9 months and those older than 9 months had the highest infection rates. An infection rate of 82.60% and 50.50% were recorded in the traditional and rational farms, respectively. Rabbits with diarrhea showed a high infection rate (87%) compared to non-diarrheic rabbits (49.5%). Among the samples examined, Eimeria spp. presented the most detected parasite (53.33%) in the examined rabbits. Cryptosporidium spp. was detected with a prevalence of 3.33%. Only one rabbit was infected with nematode larvae. All examined rabbits showed no infection by ectoparasites. This study reports important data on gastrointestinal parasites infecting domestic rabbits from Djelfa region.

Many sub-Saharan African nations have a thriving livestock industry that includes raising rabbits. The number of people raising rabbits for food has increased recently, and breeders are showing an increasing amount of interest in the activity. The breeder doesn't have to put much effort into raising a rabbit. Today, a sizable segment of the populace adores and consumes rabbit meat. As the activity grows more intense, it encounters various ailments, including parasitic diseases, which reduces its profitability. A significant overall infection rate of gastro-intestinal parasites was discovered as a result of this study, which was carried out in the Djelfa region for four months with the goal of estimating the prevalence of gastro-intestinal parasites and ectoparasites in 120 rabbits collected from various locations. The overall prevalence was influenced by various host-associated risk factors. The absence of ectoparasites infestation set the current study's findings apart. Three different parasite types were found to be present in rabbits, the most common of which was Eimeria spp., which causes significant financial losses in rabbit farms. Regarding the discovery of Cryptosporidium spp., the current investigation provided an intriguing epidemiological result. Our study offers preliminary data on the intestinal parasites that affect rabbits; further study will be necessary to fully comprehend the prevalence and true impact of the diseases caused by these parasites. A better understanding of food can help prevent diseases that result in gastrointestinal issues that are conducive to the development of coccidia, which can help delay the disease's onset. Young rabbits after weaning are found to be susceptible to coccidiosis in addition to poor hygiene. Breeders must intervene with their treatment in order to stop the disease from spreading among broilers. In the Djelfa region, rabbit breeding is growing in acceptance. For the meat industry, to boost output and revenue. When using this type of water gardening, the bunnies eventually react favorably. The need for a "healthy" diet free of drug residue was made more popular as a result of this. It follows that the growth of this industry cannot be stopped. To ensure the success of this development, we suggest the following:
Building and planning should take into account the environment in which the animal lives, especially during the warmer months when the rabbit seems to be more sensitive.
Installing new feed production facilities to boost output and prices while also improving quality and quantity.
Offering locally made, inexpensive livestock equipment (such as breeding cages, nipples or pipettes, nest boxes, etc.).
Establishing official rabbit slaughterhouses to regulate food safety and better organize the marketing department.
Training is provided to breeders who focus on raising rabbits.
To identify common diseases, an epidemiological study is being conducted.
To reduce mortality and protect consumers, the medical preventative program and health monitoring must be changed.
Veterinary product availability and generalization of research findings.
Our research also advances our knowledge of the major parasite diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract and external gastrointestinal tract in rabbits from the Djelfa region, which has not received much attention in Algeria. It would be best if others finished it
