Resumen
Introduction. Draft horses (not as a breed) are
still used as work tools by many poor people
in underdeveloped countries. It is important to
take care of their health, for them to be well
and have a good performance. For this care,
their parasitic state is very important. Objective.
Determine, by the use of coprological parasitic
tests, the presence of gastrointestinal and
pulmonary parasites in a group of 40 creole
draft horses in Caldas, Antioquia, Colombia.
Materials and methods. A general clinical test
was made to every horse, collecting data by
stool sampling directly taken from the rectum,
in order to analyze the samples in the laboratory.
The type and quantity of eggs per gram were
determined (McMaster´s technique) along with
the presence of larvae with pulmonary migration
(Baermann´s technique). Results. 27.5% of the
horses were positive for parasites. 22.5% of them
had strongyle eggs and 7.5% had Dictyocaulus
sp. larvae. Conclusion. Draft horses in Caldas,
Antioquia, have strongyles and Dictyocaulus sp.
in a low frequency.
