Abstract

The present research work was carried out during the months of October to December 2022, the same one that had as objective to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in pigs in the Arroz Uco sector belonging to the canton Echeandía province of Bolívar, using as a diagnostic method the flotation with a solution of mixed concentration. This nonexperimental research had a quantitative, descriptive and correlational approach. For this, 100 fecal samples were analyzed, which were taken directly from the rectum of the animal, obtaining as a result 50 % of pigs parasitized by Nematodes and 33 % of pigs parasitized by Protozoa, with the Metastrongylus nematode parasite being the most frequent in the three Farms studied, being Farm 3 the one that presents a greater number of parasitized pigs, this in terms of nematode and protozoan parasites analyzed in a general way. It is concluded that sanitary hygienic conditions are a fundamental factor in the presence of gastrointestinal parasites, without neglecting the variables used for the development of this research work, therefore it is recommended to carry out a follow-up and control in relation to the parasitosis of the parasites.
