The dissertation thesis is intended to determine the presence of endoparasites in poultry farms in Slovakia in the period of transition from cage farming to alternative farming methods. It aims to map parasitostatus in different poultry farming systems, identify risk factors in accurate diagnosis, prevention and therapy, focusing on highly pathogenic coccidian species that pose a significant problem for poultry health and welfare with serious economic consequences for breeders.
