Estudio comparativo de cargas parasitarias entre vacas y su progenie en las razas criollas romosinuano y costeño con cuernos.

The article presents a comparative study of parasite loads between cows and their offspring in the Romosinuano and Costeño con Cuernos creole breeds. The study was carried out at the Turipaná Research Center - Agrosavia in Cereté, Córdoba, Colombia. Fecal samples were collected from 120 cattle, and parasite loads were estimated in eggs per gram using the modified McMaster technique. The results showed that the frequency of parasitism was 55% in the total population, with a statistically significant difference between the offspring and the cows. It is concluded that further studies are needed to understand the resistance or resilience process achieved in adult animals for gastrointestinal parasitism. [Extracted from the article]
