“…These infections affect cattle worldwide, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, where they severely impact livestock health and production. While not always fatal, these parasitic infections compromise growth rates, nutritional status, and by-product quality of dairy cattle, increasing their susceptibility to other infections (8). GIT parasites primarily reside in the digestive tract, causing anemia and diarrhea.…”

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites pose a significant threat to dairy cattle health, affecting both animal welfare and agricultural productivity. In regions like Tehsil Gagra, District Buner, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, where dairy farming is a crucial part of the economy, understanding the prevalence and types of these parasites is essential. The potential zoonotic impact of these parasites also raises concerns for human healthcare, emphasizing the importance of a One Health approach. Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and types of gastrointestinal parasites in dairy cattle in Tehsil Gagra, District Buner, and to understand their implications for animal health, agricultural practices, and potential zoonotic risks to human health. Methods: A comprehensive analysis was conducted from July 2021 to July 2022. A total of 150 fecal samples from dairy cattle were collected and examined at the Veterinary Research and Disease Investigation Center, District Swat, and the Department of Zoology, University of Buner. The samples were tested using direct smear, sedimentation, and sugar flotation methods. The study also considered environmental factors and seasonal variations in its analysis. Results: Of the 150 samples examined, 99 (66%) were positive for gastrointestinal parasites. Nematodes were the most prevalent (51.33%), followed by Protozoa (12%), Trematodes (2%), and Cestodes (0.67%). The most common parasitic species identified were Trichostrongylus (24.67%), Ostertagia ostertagi (22.67%), and Eimeria bovis (8%). Area-wise, Rega showed the highest prevalence at 80%, while Gagra recorded 46.67%. Conclusion: The study revealed a high prevalence of GI parasites in dairy cattle in Tehsil Gagra, District Buner, emphasizing the need for improved veterinary care and farm management practices. The results highlight the importance of regular parasite control measures and suggest potential zoonotic risks, underscoring the necessity for integrated animal and human health approaches.

“…As the demand for meat increases, vast amounts of waste are generated worldwide, which in turn causes an increase in the number of excreta and wastewater (Pérez-Pérez et al, 2016), mainly from non-technified farms. The intensive production of pork has caused severe impacts on the environment, in addition to generating health problems and parasitic diseases such as helminthiasis (Murillo, 2016) that are caused by helminths, which are multicellular organisms that infect humans, animals, and plants, representing a severe problem for poor and developing countries (Purwandani et al, 2021). It is estimated that more than a third of the world population is infected by helminths, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions (Tuasha et al, 2019).…”

Pathogenic organisms in pig manure can cause serious environmental and health problems. Pigs are susceptible to infection by microorganisms such as fecal coliforms, Salmonella spp., protozoa, and helminths. The latter are found in tropical and subtropical zones, where they are a source of health risk associated with poor sanitation due to contaminated water for agricultural irrigation and the inadequate final disposal of excrements on the ground. For this reason, it is necessary to treat the waste so that it complies with the maximum permissible limits established in the official regulations and is disposed of correctly. In this work, the kinetic parameters of the alkaline inactivation process were determined with different CaO concentrations (10, 15, and 20% m/m) and different time periods (0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min). In addition, the evaluation of the product DT (ammonia dose and temperature) was carried out for the described process, for which the increase in pH and temperature after the addition of alkaline matter was studied for the inactivation of total helminth eggs in a system open. The mathematical modeling was carried out with the Hom model modified for chemical treatments. The results showed that the process used had an efficiency of 94.7% in the destruction of whole helminth eggs, of which 5.8% was carried out thanks to the ammonia dose and the resulting temperature (9,963 mg/L °C). Although the DT factor was not the leading cause of the helminth eggs inactivation it contributed favorably to the process in addition to the applied CaO dose (20%).

Gastrointestinal parasites are common parasitic agents of cattle across the world, causing both clinical and subclinical parasitism that causes massive financial losses. The aim of this research was to assess the prevalence and risk factors for Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) parasites in cattle in Sumedang Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Between October and November 2022, 105 cattle had been chosen at random. The sex, breed, age, frequent deworming, cleaning frequency, and management system of each beef cattle were recorded. Fecal samples were obtained through rectum from the selected animals and submitted to flotation and sedimentation procedures. Overall, the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth parasites was 47.62% (95% CI = 0.3791−0.5733). Strongyle-type eggs (STE), Strongyloides spp., Trichuris sp., Moniezia spp., Fasciola sp., and Paramphistomum sp. ova were found. 38.09% of the total samples were positive for Strongyle eggs infection and commonly seen in single infections, followed by Eimeria spp. infection. Mixed infections were found in 25 cattle, with double to multiple parasite infections. As a result, it was determined that beef cattle in Sumedang Regency in Indonesia were infected with a variety of gastrointestinal helminth parasites. Thus, frequent anthelmintic treatment, excellent management techniques, and public education about helminth parasites are critical.
