| Summary, etc. |
The study was conducted to investigate the occurrence of internal parasites in <br/>pigs in selected towns of Ilocos Norte. Specifically, it aimed to determine the <br/>prevalence of different internal parasites through fecal collection and assessment of <br/>fecal egg per gram (EPG); identify the type of helminths prevalent in swine; determine <br/>the type of internal parasitic infection (single and mixed) through descriptive analysis; <br/>and identify the risk factors of internal parasite infection by correlating the farm profile <br/>and management practices to the output of fecal samples collected. <br/>A total of one hundred (100) swine raisers were interviewed regarding the farm <br/>profile and their management practices, equivalent to the fresh fecal samples to be <br/>obtained. Fecal samples were subjected to flotation method and modified Mcmaster <br/>method using the standard keys of Thienpont et al. (1979) to identify the helminths <br/>found in the samples. Eggs were examined under the microscope, and qualitative and <br/>quantitative data were necessary to record the results of this study. The data were <br/>analyzed using the Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research (STAR) software. <br/>Four nematodes were commonly found in the growing to finishing ages of pigs, <br/>namely Ascaris suum, Oesophagostomum spp., Strongyloides sp., and Trichuris suis. <br/>Through positive samples in the EPG of the modified Mcmaster method, it was <br/>identified that A. suum (75.76%), Oesophagostomum spp., and Strongyloides sp. <br/>(60.61%) are more prevalent in the City of Batac, however, T. suis is more prevalent <br/>Vintar (52.38%) and Dingras (52.94%). On the other hand, in terms of the degree of <br/>infection, mixed infections have a 57.74% rate, which is more prevalent than single <br/>infections, which have 43.66%. Moreover, the risk factors for increasing the EPG of <br/>internal parasites are sex of the animal, production system, floor type, feed types, <br/>waterers used, fecal removal, cleaning the pens, the practice of deworming, dewormers <br/>used, the person administering the dewormer, and consultation with a veterinarian. <br/>Based on the findings, to improve the connection of internal parasites in swine <br/>raised in Ilocos Norte, the following actions are recommended: (1) consultation with <br/>veterinarians regarding the proper use and treatment of dewormers for the pigs; (2) <br/>implementation of regular hygiene and sanitation to reduce the possible infections of <br/>internal parasites in the pigs; and (3) further investigations in broader-scope studies in <br/>Ilocos Norte to better justify more that internal parasites that affect the production of <br/>the farm. |
