Determinación de la carga parasitaria gastrointestinal en la población caprina de la granja experimental Villa Marina de la Universidad de Pamplona.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in goats at the Villa Marina Experimental Farm of the University of Pamplona, Norte de Santander, through an experimental comparative prospective cross- sectional study out in November 2020. 37 goats were included, between 3 and 36 months old, males and females of the different breed crosses such as: Saanen, Togembur, Lamancha and Alpina. The egg count per gram of feces (epg) was determined using the Mcmaster technique; the identification of genera and species was done by the direct method. The results were collected and tabulated using the Excel 2010 ® program, the study showed that 97.29% (36/37) of the goat population presented parasite loads, positive samples evidenced the presence of Haemunchus Contortus in 36/36 samples and ooquistes of Eimeria spp. in 3/36 samples positive.
