Test de reducción de huevos por gramo de heces (H.P.G) en caprinos y ovinos.

Abstract

The production of goats and sheep is an opportunity to produce protein of animal origin at low cost. The adaptation of these animals to regions with extreme climates puts them at an advantage against other ruminants. However, Gastrointestinal Parasites (PGI) are the natural enemies to face. It is important to understand the relationships between these parasites, the sheep-goats and the environment. Worldwide, the multi-resistance anthelmintic PGI in sheep and goats has a negative effect on their profitability. Given this phenomenon, it is necessary to investigate the specific resistance of these PGI on specific anthelmintics. This document presents the situation of determining the level of PGI infection in sheep and goats and their resistance to anthelminthics handled in the study (Levamisole, Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, Organophosphate, Mebendazole and Homeopathic treatment). Descriptive study carried out between the months of February and May where we worked with a population of 17 goats (Sannen * Mancha * toggenburg) and 12 sheep (Dorper). The egg count per gram of feces (hpg) was determined using the Mcmaster technique. The efficacy results obtained by antiparasitic agents 15 days after treatment were (25%) Mebendazole, (60%) Organophosphate (Neguvon), (90%) Homeopathic treatment, (0%) Ivermectin, (60%) Fenbendazole and one (90%) for Levamisole.
