Method for determining the viability of eggs of strongylates of the gastrointestinal tract of horses at critically low temperatures in Yakutia

Abstract

It is known that the climate of Yakutia is much harsh and hard to tolerate by any living organism. It is considered that the peculiarities of adaptation to the conditions of the Far North are determined by the influence of special natural factors, which is a universal phenomenon of influence on all living organisms. Parasitic nematodes are found in all zones of Yakutia and in almost all domestic animals, among which representatives of the Strongylata suborder dominate. As the authors point out, the parasitization of strongylates in the gastrointestinal tract of herd horses causes great damage, since they reduce not only the productivity of animals, but also cause it to be difficult to endure the winter. Even at subzero temperatures, strongylate eggs are able to maintain their viability. In this paper, the authors of the article were able to present material on determining the ability to maintain the viability of strongylate eggs at low temperatures in Yakutia. For the first time, the results on the survival of strongylate eggs at critically low temperatures of the Yakut winter were obtained and interesting results were obtained, which are described in this article.
