Infections with gastrointestinal parasites are a serious issue in calves breeding producing the reduction of the rate of growth and development of the youth, high percentage of morbidity and an increase of the expenses for the farm. In this study the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in calves and the correlation with breeding conditions are assessed. A total of 54 samples were collected from calves aged between three weeks and one year from 6 small scale integrated livestock farms with different breeding system. Freshly voided cattle fecal samples were randomly collected from the selected farms during March 2017–December 2018. Out of 54 examined samples 42 (78%) were positive for at last one parasite. Parasitism with Eimeria spp. was identified in 25 (46.2%) samples and in 5 out of 6 farms, digestive strongyles in 19 (35.1%) samples, Toxocara vitulorum in 15 (27.7%) samples, Moniezia spp. in 7 (12.9%) samples, Giardia spp. in 3 (5.5%) samples. Nine (16.6%) samples were found to be negative. Moniezia spp. was identified in a single farm where the breeding is done in a free-stall with access to pasture. Breeding system has influence on the presence of parasites in calves farms. To reduce the parasitism and economic losses breeders are advised to improve the breeding conditions and to avoid the main transmission pathways specific for each disease
