Diseño, aplicación y evaluación de un plan sanitario en base al diagnóstico de laboratorio para el control de parásitos en bovinos del sector rural San Francisco.

Abstract

This degree work had as objective the design, application, and evaluation of a sanitary plan based on laboratory diagnosis for the parasites control in cattle in "San Francisco" rural area, located in the Chambo canton, Chimborazo province. For this purpose, the efficacy anthelmintic of three commercial dewormers (Albendazole, Fenbendazole, and Triclabendazole) was determined at 8, 15, and 30 days after application, using 30 cattle of different ages, sex, and weight. This activity was divided into two phases: The diagnostic phase, where stool samples were taken to determine the type and initial parasite load, and the Evaluation phase of the deworming, in which a completely randomized design was applied with 3 treatments and 10 repetitions; for the respective deworming, the animals were grouped 10 by 10, and each group received a different deworming product, each group of the treated animals was identified and then an analysis of parasite loads according to the established days and the results obtained were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and a comparison of averages according to Duncan. The results showed the presence of gastrointestinal parasites Trichuris ovis, and Cooperia. Regarding efficacy, it was evidenced that 30 days after application there were no significant differences with any of the treatments; 93.96% efficacy for (T1), 95.47% for (T2), and 100% efficacy using (T3). It concluded that the design of a Sanitary Plan supported by laboratory tests is of vital importance to avoid the propagation of parasites and suggested following the technical recommendations proposed to avoid diseases and future economic losses.
