The study included 10 smallholder farms on which kids were monitored for faecal oocyst counts from birth untill 1-year old. Eimeria oocyst were found in 725 (89%) of 815 faecal samples examined. Nine species of Eimeria were identified. The most prevalent were E. arloingi, found in 71% of the samples. E. ninakohlyakimovae (67%), E. christenseni (63%) and E. alijevi (61%). The other species found were, E. hirci, E. joichijevi, E. caprovina, E. caprina and E. pallida, present in 34, 22, 12,9 and 4% of the samples, respectively. Oocyst counts were significantly higher in animals of less than 4-months old (P &lt 0.05). High oocyst counts were mainly caused by non-pathogenic species. Poor hygienic conditions were found to be associated with a higher intensity of coccidial infections. Mortality rates in kids could not be related to the intensity of coccidial infections.  aCaprino  aCoccidiose  aInfecção  aEimeria spp  aMalasia1 aDORNY, P.1 aSANI, R.1 aSALIM, N.
