As helmintoses em equinos podem causar enterite levando a quadros de diarréia. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e quantificar os helmintos predominantes em equinos mantidos em criações extensivas no município de Camaquã, RS. Amostras fecais de 67 equinos foram processadas pelos Métodos de Gordon; Whitlock modificado e Roberts; Sullivan. Das amostras coletadas observou-se que 94,02%(63/67) apresentavam ovos de Strongylida, sendo que 49,25% apresentavam OPG de Strongylida acima de 1001. A coprocultura revelou que 90% das larvas eram de Cyclocyclus e 10% de Gyalocephalus considerados como ciastomíneos. Estes resultados demonstram a necessidade de maior controle parasitário em equinos que tenham contato direto com larvas infectantes dos helmintos em criações extensivas.
