Strongyle nematode infection is the main cause of parasitic infections in ruminants in Thailand, which can lead to poor health and reduced product value. This research aimed to study the prevalence and associated factors of strongyle nematode infection in the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants in Kanchanaburi and Ratchaburi Provinces during 2018-2022. The overall prevalence of strongyle nematode was 60.28% (95% CI = 56.90-63.58). The highest prevalence of strongyle nematodes was found in goats at 71.08% (95% CI = 66.84-75.05). The prevalence of strongyle nematodes in sheep was 48.78% (95% CI = 40.90-56.69), the prevalence of strongyle nematodes in beef cattle was 48.67% (95% CI = 40.43-56.95), the prevalence of strongyle nematodes in dairy cattle was 31.25% (95% CI = 16.11-50.00), and the prevalence of strongyle nematodes in buffalo was 7.14% (95% CI = 0.18-33.86). In addition, the type of ruminant was found to be a factor significantly related to the prevalence of strongyle nematode infection in the digestive tract of ruminants (P < 0.01). It was also found that grazing farming was significantly more related to the prevalence of strongyle nematode infection than housing farming (P < 0.01). From the results of this research, the prevalence and factors related to the prevalence of strongyle nematode infection in ruminants were known, which is very useful as preliminary data for disease diagnosis, surveillance, control and prevention of strongyle nematode infection in the digestive tract of ruminants in Kanchanaburi and Ratchaburi Provinces.
