Summary
The make-up of rumen ciliate protozoons belonging to the family Entodiniidae (Order: Entodiniomorphida) from domesticated goats (Capra hircus L.) in southeastern Turkey was investigated. As the result of the investigation, a genera [Entodinium] of Entodiniomorphida, 20 species belonging to Entodiniidae (Fam: [E. exiguum, E. nanellum, E. minimum, E. parvum, E. simplex, E. dubardi, E. ovinum, E. dilobum, E. constrictum, E. bovis, E. bursa, E. ellipsoideum, E. longinucleatum, E. caudatum, E. simulans, E. rectangulatum, E. dalli, E. williamsi, E. basoglui ve E. salmani] and 7 species [E. parvum f. parvum, E. dubardi f. dubardi, E. longinucleatum f. longinucleatum, E. caudatum f. dubardi, E. caudatum f. caudatum, E. caudatum f. lobosospinosum, E. simulans f. caudatum, E. simulans f. lobosospinosum, E. rectangulatum f. rectangulatum, E. rectangulatum f. lobosospinosum, E. rectangulatum f. dubardi, E. dalli f. rudidorsospinosum, E. williamsi f. williamsi, E. williamsi f. turcicum, E. salmani f. salmani, E. salmani f. monospinosum, E. salmani f. bispinosum, E. salmani f. trispinosum] were detected. The present study reports the presence of Entodinium constrictum, E. bovis, E. bursa, E. ellipsoideum, E. caudatum f. dubardi, E. caudatum f. lobosospinosum, E. simulans f. caudatum, E. simulans f. lobosospinosum, E. dalli f. rudidorsospinosum, E. williamsi, E. basoglui and E. salmani in the rumen of goats for the first time.
