Although poultry farming is one of the Ethiopian government\u2019s developmental initiatives, the sector is facing various challenges, particularly due to infectious diseases. Among infectious diseases, helminthiasis is one of the challenges affecting poultry production. A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted from April to June 2023 to determine the occurrence and associated risk factors of nematode infections in intensively managed commercial poultry farming in Bishoftu, Ethiopia. Representative pooled fecal samples were collected from 60 poultry farms and examined for the presence of worm eggs by using the flotation technique. Gastrointestinal nematode eggs were identified based on their morphological characteristics. Coprological analysis results reveal that out of 60 poultry farms screened, 19 (31.7%) were tested positive. The most identified worms were\n                    <jats:italic>Ascaridia galli<\/jats:italic>\n                    11 (18.3%), followed by\n                    <jats:italic>Heterakis gallinarum<\/jats:italic>\n                    3 (5%),\n                    <jats:italic>Trichostrongylus tenuis<\/jats:italic>\n                    3 (5%),\n                    <jats:italic>Syngamus trachea<\/jats:italic>\n                    2 (3.3%), and\n                    <jats:italic>Capillaria<\/jats:italic>\n                    species 1 (1.7%). Production types, management practices, and proximity to other farms were found to significantly (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05) influence the occurrence of worm infections. The prevalence of worm infections was significantly lower (6.06%,\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05) in the farms using footbaths as compared to farms not utilizing footbaths (62.96%). Similarly, significantly higher (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05) prevalence was observed in the farms that did not apply wet cleaning (76.2%) and chemical disinfection (66.7%) as compared to those using wet cleaning (7.7%) or chemical disinfection (16.7%) during farm downtime. However, there was no significant difference (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &gt; 0.05) between age groups and poultry farm scale. This study strongly suggests that gastrointestinal nematode infections pose a significant challenge to poultry production. Therefore, implementing effective worm control strategies, such as regular deworming, implementing proper farm hygiene practices, and strict biosecurity measures, is strongly recommended.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/japr\/9138062","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,11]],"date-time":"2025-09-11T09:35:19Z","timestamp":1757583319000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Coprological Detection of Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Intensively Managed Poultry Farms in Bishoftu, Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5783-6103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Misgana","family":"Tefera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maraki","family":"Wasiyhun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","unstructured":"FAOSTAT FAO Statistical Database 2024 https:\/\/www.fao.org\/faostat\/en\/#data\/QCL."},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5455\/vetworld.2008.201-202"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_2","volume-title":"The Role of Poultry in Human Nutrition, Poultry Development Review","author":"Farrell D.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3923\/ajpsaj.2016.30.39"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2019\/1307582"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_2","volume-title":"Village Chicken Production in the Central and Western Highlands of Ethiopia: Characteristics and Strategies for Improvement","author":"Dessie T.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/VMRR.S323284"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22271\/veterinary.2022.v7.i5a.439"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_9_2","first-page":"13","article-title":"Prevalence of Major Gastrointestinal Parasites in Small Scale Commercial Poultry Farms From Jimma Town, Southwest Ethiopia","volume":"7","author":"Yadeta W.","year":"2019","journal-title":"International Journal of Research Studies in Biosciences (IJRSB)"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_10_2","first-page":"62","article-title":"Study on Effects and Occurrence of Nematodes in Local and Exotic Chickens in and Around Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia","volume":"9","author":"Beyene K.","year":"2014","journal-title":"American-Eurasian Journal of Science Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/03079457.2011.561280"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_12_2","first-page":"504","article-title":"Study on Gastrointestinal Helminths of Local Chickens in Central Ethiopia","volume":"155","author":"Ashenafi H.","year":"2004","journal-title":"Revista de Medicina Veterinaria"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_13_2","volume-title":"Agricultural Sample Survey Vol. II.
