“…The high prevalence in this study was in accordance with the study of Volpato et al . [7], which reported the prevalence of intestinal protozoan infection in dairy calf in Brazil. Those ten districts are located in coastal areas and are well known as livestock meeting points from several locations as well as temporary shelters for cattle that will be traded out of the island or for Idul Adha.…”

Aim: This study aimed to describe the gastrointestinal protozoa in Madura cattle at Bangkalan Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: A total of 500 samples of Madura cattle feces were collected from 10 districts at Bangkalan Regency. Those ten districts represent the lowland and upland areas, and each district was represented by one village. The collected feces were examined using native, sedimentation, and floating methods. The species identification was determined by their morphology. Results: There were 357 (71.4%) samples positively infected with protozoan. The highest rate of sample with protozoan infection was at Kamal District (88.23%), and Bangkalan District (52.83%) was the lowest one. There were six species of protozoa that infected gastrointestinal tract; those are Eimeria spp., Balantidium spp., Isospora spp., Blastocystis spp., Entamoeba spp., and Cryptosporidium spp. The highest number of protozoa found in this research was Eimeria (53.42%) followed by Blastocystis (14.43%). In this study, we found that 295 samples (58.76%) infected by one kind of protozoa, 53 samples (10.56%) infected by two kinds of protozoa, and 11 samples (2.19%) infected by three kinds of protozoa. In addition, there were 65.54% of bulls infected with protozoa, considerably lower than cows (72.97%). Cattle aged 6 months-2 years old (73.39%) and >2 years old (71.25%) are known more prone to protozoan infections than cattle aged <6 months (66.15%). Conclusion: The present study revealed that protozoan infection of cattle is common in Bangkalan Regency. Studies focused on determining that the prevalence of protozoan, risk factors for the parasitism, and the geographic distribution are needed and will be effective guide for prevention and control measures.

“…This is more often found in young animals. Subclinical or chronic infections can lead to economic losses, diarrhea, or dysentery due to the occurrence of high morbidity and mortality in the young animal, as well as increased costs for prevention and treatment [8,9]. Trichuris spp.…”

Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in cattle in Kalasin Province, Thailand

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background and Aim: Parasitic infections are one of the major problems to the production of cattle in Thailand. The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) parasites of cattle in Kalasin Province, Thailand. Materials and Methods: A total of 333 fecal samples of cattle were collected directly from the rectum. The fecal samples were subjected to formalin-ethyl acetate concentration methods for examination. The eggs or oocysts were identified based on the morphology and size of the eggs or oocysts. Results: Out of 333 fecal samples examined, 320 were found positive for GI parasitic infections with a prevalence of 96.09%. Overall, among the prevalence of nematodes, trematodes, and protozoa, the most prevalent parasites were Strongyle-type 278 (84.24%), followed by Strongyloides spp. 54 (16.36%) and Trichuris spp. 75 (22.73%), while Protozoan oocyst recorded Eimeria spp. amounted to 131 (39.7%). Fasciola spp. and Paramphistomum spp. were 67 (20.30%) and 81 (24.55%), respectively. Most of the positive fecal samples were infected with the double infection which has the highest prevalence rate of about 40.24%, followed by single, three, and 4-5 types of parasites 30.63, 16.82, and 7.21%, respectively. Conclusion: This study suggests that Kalasin Province is highly endemic for GI parasites and this area may be an important source for an outbreak. Therefore, every household should deworm its cattle and eliminate and control snails as intermediate hosts. Findings from this study provide information that will assist in improving the cattle in Kalasin Province for better production and higher profitability.

“…4) in only a single calve was not an aberrant result, as this was not a typical parasite found in calves of the age range analysed. A similar study was carried out in Brazil with 243 faecal samples, where 46.5 % of them were negative for any protozoa, and the other 53.5 % were positive [15]. Coccidiosis is one of the most common diseases in the world, with bo-vine coccidiosis being observed in nearly all areas where cattle are raised, especially in those younger than one year.…”

Field Survey on the Status of Internal Parasites in Young Calves on Farms in Eastern Slovakia

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The objective of this study was to evaluate the species composition of protozoan and helminth parasites of young calves on farms in eastern Slovakia. Faecal samples from calves were analysed using the floatation technique, McMaster Methods and stained slide method for Cryptosporidium spp. From 105 samples analysed, nine samples (8.6 %) were suspected to be positive for Cryptosporidium spp. The results gathered from this study displayed that 64.8 % of calves were infected with some species of parasite at the moment of sampling. The highest prevalence of infection was with Eimeria spp. with 56.2 % of calves infected being positive for this. OPG (oocysts per gram) values for Eimeria spp. observed in this study ranged from 100 to 75,200. The lowest prevalence was found to be from Giardia duodenalis and Trichostrongylidae family equally 0.95 %. All faecal samples had nematode egg counts below 50 EPG (eggs per gram).
