Prevalencia de parásitos en el tracto gastrointestinal en bovinos criollos en el Camal de Salcedo.

This research project was carried out in the Camal Municipal del Cantón Salcedo, province of Cotopaxi, whose objective was to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of cattle, in order to achieve an effective sanitary management of the herds and productive yields. The coproparasitic analysis was carried out in the Veterinary Medicine Career Laboratory of the Technical University of Cotopaxi, in the academic period November 2020 - March 2021. The diagnostic technique used for this project was the saline solution flotation test (Sucrose), for this, 100 animals were sampled between males and females that were in the slaughter process, which was collected from the rectum of the animal. A 42% prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was determined in males from the Salcedo slaughterhouse. When observing the results we can see that the genera of gastrointestinal parasites with the highest prevalence with the flotation technique were: Haemonchus spp with 17% of the total samples collected followed by Taenia with 9%, Coccidia with 8%, Trichostrongylus with 7%, Oesophagostomum with 4%, Trichuris and Coccidia with 2% and lastly the genus of Schistosoma with 1%. In addition, a prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitism was observed in relation to the parasitic association in which we obtained a higher incidence in Monoparasitism that was observed by 36%, the second with 4%, which is Biparasitism and finally Triparasitism with 2%. Therefore, it can be determined that many of the people do not have good sanitary control of their livestock herds.
