Investigation on Equine Intestinal Parasite Infection in Shenzhen City,Guangdong Province
In order to investigate the status of equine intestinal parasite infection in Shenzhen City,234 fresh horse faecal samples were collected from equestrian clubs across the city to detect intestinal parasites.The results showed that intestinal parasites were widely distributed in all the 26 clubs,with a total detection rate of 47.01%.The parasites mainly included Ascaris equorum and Nematoda circulans,the infection rate of both of which was 30.34%,with a mixed infection rate of 13.68%.The infection rate of intestinal parasites was significantly lower in stallions than that in geldings and mares(P＜0.05),but without statistically significant difference in horses at different ages(P＞0.05);the rate was obviously higher in Shetland horses than that in Mongolian horses(P＜0.05),and lower in horses from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region than that in the horses from other provinces(P＜0.05),obviously lower in the horses dewormed 4 times a year than that in those dewormed twice(P＜0.05),and so were the horses disinfected once a day or twice a week than that in those with other disinfection frequencies(P＜0.05),while greatly higher in the horses whose beddings were not completely removed than that in those whose beddings were regularly replaced(P＜0.05).In conclusion,Ascaris equorum and Nematoda circulans were widely prevalent in the horses in the clubs in Shenzhen City,parasitic infection was greatly affected by sex,species,place of origin,as well as frequency of deworming,horse stable disinfection and replacement of beddings.The clubs were recommended to strengthen their daily feeding management,pay more attention to deworming and disinfecting,intensify the introduction quarantine and intestinal parasite detection,so as to gradually eradicate equine parasites.
