Determinación de la prevalencia de las principales enfermedades infecciosas y endoparasitarias en hatos lecheros de pequeños productores, en las comunidades de Taxojaló y Guantualó, del cantón Sigchos, provincia de Chimborazo

Abstract

In Sigchos, Cotopaxi province, in Guantualó and Taxojaló cammunities, was evaluated the determination of prevalence of main infectious and endoparasite diseases in đairy herds of small producers; through the use of the chi-square test for the Non-parametric measures that evaluates the fitting criterion of a set of information to determined distribution for the study of effect of positive cases, in where were used 98 experimental units; distributed in gender, zootechnic category and community. Observed in the diagnostic of infectious diseases, total of prevalence Brucellosis (6.02%), percentages Rhinotracheitis (1.92%). Bovine viral diarrhea (30.48%), Neosporosis (19.15%), Infectious Bovine while in the endoparasite diagnosis were found hepatic parasitic (hepathic Fasciola) 36.29%, pulmonary parasites infestations (Dictyocaulus viviparus) 0.96%, and gastrointestinal (Trychostrongylus and Tapeworms) 46.61%. The elaborated thematic maps with the georeferenced points show a wide distribution of the study diseases, and also indicate that one of the principal risk factors would be the mobilization of the animals without control of one community to other. For this reason is recommended to apply this kind of researches in other areas of dairy importance, directed of preference to small producers, as can be seen in the obtained results, this sector presents more risk by not having a schedule of vaccination and deworming appropriate to difference of the large holdings. To implement the deworming schedule is recommended to determine the times of re-infestation of parasites prevalent in the study areas.
