Distribution of Ascariosis and Asophagostomosis of Pigs in Central Yakutia

Abstract

AbstractPurpose of research: To study the spread of ascariosis and esophagostomosis of pigs in industrial pig breeding and in farms of various types in Central Yakutia. Materials and methods: The study of the species composition of pathogens and the spread of intestinal nematodes was carried out in 2001–2004. In industrial pig farm and subsidiary plots pigs were tested for infection helminthological diseases. For this, a saturated solution of sodium chloride was prepared (400–420 g of sodium chloride per 1 L of boiling water. 3 g of faeces were weighed according to a sample, which were placed in a glass with a capacity of 50 ml, were poured with a small amount of a saturated solution of sodium chloride and stirred. 3 drops were removed from the film surface with a metal loop, transferred to a glass slide and examined under a microscope with low magnification. A total of 1236 samples of pig feces were examined, including 262 young animals from 2 to 4 months and 974 adult pigs. Results and discussion: The pigs of Yakutia are parasitized by 2 types of nematodes: Ascaris suum, Oesophagostomum dentatum.KeywordsIntestinal nematodesAscariosisEsophagostomosisYakutia of Russia
