Gut parasites of sheltered calves
HORSKÁ, Ivana
On a chosen farm were during year 2008 obtained for parasitological examination faecal samples from the rectum of calves. A total of 71 faecal samples from 70 calves was collected and examined by Sheather´s floatation. Thirty-three of the faecal samples were positive on parazites, Cryptosporidium sp. and Eimeria sp. oocysts weres found in the positive samples. Most often diagnosed parasite was Cryptosporidium sp. that was most prevalent in calves 1 {--} 2 weeks old. The infection by Eimeria sp. was highest from the 4th to the 5th week of the calves age. Parazites were mostly prevalent in weak and medium diarrhoea and were rarer in stiff feacal samples. 51,4 % of female´s faecal samples were positive on parazites and 41,7 % of male´s faecal samples were positive on parazites.
Gut parasites of calves kept outdoor
HRDLIČKOVÁ, Jaroslava
During the year 2008, at irregular intervals, we collected samples of faeces directly from calves' rectum for parasite examination. A total of 57 samples from 48 calves was examined. We examined the samples by flotation- cetrifugation according to Sheather. In positive samples, we found oocyst of Eimeria sp. that were most common in 7 {--} 9 weeks old calves, and oocyst of Cryptosporidium sp., which were found in younger and older calves. In solid faeces, weak, medium and strong diarrhoea we found Eimeria sp., in solid faeces and weak diarrhoea we foung Cryptosporidium sp. The intensity of infection was usually weak. It results by comparison than general parasite prevalence was in the same period (except winter period) lower in individual boxes than in shedded calves.
