Identificación de Trichuris suis en cerdos de traspatio en el recinto Pretoria del Cantón Montalvo perteneciente a la provincia de Los Ríos.

The research in the Pretoria facility of the Montalvo Canton, province of Los Ríos, seeks to identify the prevalence of Trichuris suis in backyard pigs, a nematode that mainly affects the large intestine of pigs and generates clinical problems such as diarrhea, weight loss, and decreased food efficiency. This parasite, whose life cycle and environmental resistance make its eradication difficult, can cause serious diseases in young pigs or in cases of massive parasitization, including anemic and diarrheal symptoms. The study will use the Pearson Chi square test to analyze the relationship between the presence of T. suis and associated factors, in order to improve both animal health and productivity in the region, and develop effective control and prevention strategies. The results of the present study demonstrated a prevalence of 0% of parasites in feces in this case mainly Identification of trichuris suis in backyard pigs in the Pretoria enclosure of the Montalvo Canton belonging to the province of Los Ríos. This absence of parasites can be attributed to several factors, such as good health and biosecurity management, which could have reduced the presence of parasites in pigs. Furthermore, the absence of parasites could also be due to the use of effective parasite control programs, such as the administration of antiparasitics or having a very good implementation of soil and water management practices that reduce the presence of parasites.
