Determinación de coccidiosis por Eimeria en el ganado bovino que se faena en el camal municipal de la ciudad de Babahoyo

In cattle production, coccidiosis caused by Eimeria represents a considerable challenge, as it causes significant economic losses. This parasitic infection affects both symptomatic and asymptomatic animals, increasing production costs. Therefore, it is considered one of the most significant infectious diseases in cattle farming. For this reason, the main objective of this study was to diagnose coccidiosis caused by Eimeria in cattle, which was carried out in the municipal slaughterhouse of the Babahoyo canton, province of Los Ríos, where we evaluated the incidence of the parasite, with the aim of microscopically identifying the Eimeria parasite with the simple Willis-Molloy flotation technique with a supersaturated sodium chloride solution, by collecting feces directly from the animal's rectum, where samples were taken from 150 cattle due to which research work was carried out between the months of December 2024 and January 2025 in which the breed, sex, age, origin and the methodology used in data processing was the non-parametric statistical design (Chi Square), the methods were inductive-deductive, experimental-descriptive according to the studies carried out through the daily collection of feces, it is concluded that there is no incidence of Eimeria since all the cattle examined in the cases were negative

En la producción bovina, la coccidiosis causada por Eimeria representa un desafío considerable, ya que provoca importantes pérdidas económicas esta parasitosis afecta tanto a los animales sintomáticos como a los asintomáticos, lo que incrementa los costos de producción. Por ello, se considera una de las enfermedades infectocontagiosas más relevantes en el ámbito de la ganadería bovina. Por tal razón, el principal objetivo de este estudio fue diagnosticar la coccidiosis causada por Eimeria en bovinos, que se llevó a cabo en el camal municipal del cantón Babahoyo provincia de los Ríos donde evaluamos la incidencia del parasito, con el objetivo de identificar microscópicamente el parasito Eimeria con la técnica de flotación simple de Willis-Molloy con solución sobresaturada de cloruro de sodio , mediante la recolección de heces directamente del recto del animal, donde se tomaron muestras de 150 bovinos debido al que trabajo de investigación se realizó entre los meses de diciembre 2024 y enero 2025 en la cual se evaluó la raza, sexo, edad, procedencia y la metodología empleada en el procesamiento de datos fue el diseño estadístico no paramétrico (Chi Cuadrado), los métodos fueron inductivo-deductivo, experimental-descriptivo de acuerdo a los estudios realizados mediante la recolección diaria de heces se concluye que no existe incidencia Eimeria ya que todos los bovinos examinados del casos fueron negativo.
