Protein Glycogen Lipids
Infected intestine of Capra hircus Cestode Avitellina sp. Column1

Conclusion
From the above biochemical estimation it is concluded that the percentage of lipid is high in
parasite Avitellina as compared to protein and glycogen. The parasite Avitellina absorbing most
of nourishment from host Capra hircus causing interruption in it’s proper development thus
reduces it’s food value.
