OCORRÊNCIA DE COCCÍDIOS INTESTINAIS EM MATRIZES E LEITÕES EM UMA MATERNIDADE SUÍNA
Resumen
Gastrointestinal disorders in pigs are one of the biggest problems faced by modern pig farmers. Intensive production together with the misuse of antiparasitic agents and the incorrect cleaning and disinfection of facilities favor the infection of animals. Several pathogens can be responsible for causing gastrointestinal disorders in pigs, with coccidia in particular being responsible for the development of diarrhea in piglets, which directly compromises their development and generates additional costs to the production chain. However, not much research on the prevalence of these parasites in intensive piggeries has been carried out. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the occurrence of intestinal parasites in sows and piglets in an intensive pig farm in the municipality of Palotina in Paraná, Brazil. In total, 94 stool samples (41 sow and 53 litter samples) were collected in three maternity rooms and analyzed using the coproparasitological techniques of Willis-Mollay and Sheather. Of all the samples analyzed, 10.64% were positive for at least one coccidium (10/94), with 2.13% (2/94) identified as Cystoisospora suis, 1.06% identified as oocysts of Giardia spp. (1/94), and the remainder (7/94) not identifiable. The results allowed us to verify that intestinal parasites were still present in the maternity facilities of intensive piggeries, even with the adoption of supposedly effective antiparasitic protocols. Therefore, constant surveillance of the effectiveness of the antiparasitic treatments applied to the animals must be carried out to avoid unnecessary expenses brought about by inefficient animal handling.
