The article presents the results of a study on the distribution, clinical features, and pathological changes in coenurosis in sheep. The study involved three farms, with a total of 1,200 animals examined. The total number of animals diagnosed with coenurosis was 72 cases, which is equivalent to 6% of the total number of animals examined. The most common clinical signs were clockwise movements (37.50%), forward head tilt (23.61%), and counterclockwise movements (16.66%). Less common clinical signs included vision impairment (5.55%), lying down (8.33%), and limb paralysis (8.33%). The results also indicate that females are more frequently affected than males. This could be related to differences in living conditions and the fact that females are more often subjected to stress, which may contribute to disease development. The proportion of animals raised outdoors significantly exceeds that of those kept indoors. This suggests that animals in outdoor environments may be at a higher risk of infection, especially if pasture conditions do not meet safety standards. The highest disease rates are observed in the age groups >1 year – 2 years and >2 years, accounting for 31.94% and 34.72%, respectively. This may indicate that older animals are more susceptible to the disease, which could be associated with the accumulation of parasites in the body or age-related changes in the immune system.
