Trematode infection rates in goats were high in summer and autumn what was due to contamination of pastures by infection elements. In summer in subalpine zone Fasciola, Dicrocoelium and Paramphistoma infection rates increased up to 16,7-22,3%, 12,6-18,4% and 9,7-14,2% respectively with total marita infection intensity of 94,2 specimens/animal and immature specimens infection intensity 21,6 specimens/animal what was due to the high humidity of subalpine pastures and temperature fluctuations +21C to +28C in shade. In autumn one found imago and preimago stages of Fasciola and Dicrocoelium in liver and Paramphistoma in rumen with infection extensity values of 32,0%; 21,5% and 17,8% respectively.
