In order to monitor the parasites, fecal samples were taken from turkey (n=157), helmeted guineafowl(n=149), pheasant(n=190) and duck(n=190) in Chonbuk province. The identification of the parasites were determined by the fecal examination using the fluatation method and microscopical examination. The results were obtained as follows；1. The detection rate oi the parasites from 4 species of poutry was 47.2%(n=324 heads) out of 686 heads. 2. The identification rate was 85.9% in helmeted guineafowl, 63.2% in pheasant, 44.6% in turkey and 3.2% in duck, in order. 3. The mixed infection rate such as single, double, triple and quadrupl was 25.4%(174 heads), 14.1%(97 heads), 7.3%(50 heads) and 0.4%(3 heads), respectively. 4. The parasites isolated were identified as Capillaria spp. in 225 heads, Eimeria spp in 169 heads, Heterakis gallinarum in 116 heads, Ascaridia galli in 16 heads, Hymenolepis spp. in 3 heads and Strongyloides avium in 1 head, in order.
