For the investigation of the parasite presence in the dung the flotation-concentration method (Sheather sugar solution) and specific aniline {--} carbolic - methylviolet colouring according to Miláček and Vítovec (1985) with followed microscopy investigation at 200 - 400× magnification have been used. The infections caused by Cryptosporidium spp., Eimeria spp., Isospora suis, Giardia intestinalis, Trichuris suis, Ascaris suum and Strongyloides ransomi have been found in the samples. For the most part, the infection caused by Cryptosporidium spp. (19.1 %), Eimeria spp. and Isospora suis (5.2 %) have occurred in the breeds. Prevalence of the Giardia intestinalis flagellates have reached to 2.9 % and 5.4 % for nematodes Majority of the positive samples had solid consistency of the dung. The smallest occurrence of the parasites have been diagnosed in the winter 2005. On the contrary the greatest occurrence have been diagnosed in autumn 2005.
