Fecal samples were taken directly from the rectum and processed by the McMaster, Baermann and Graham techniques. The prevalence of parasites at the farm level was 56.3% for Strongylidae, 10.7% for Strongyloides spp, 2.8% for Oxyuridae and 0.3% for Dictyocaulus spp. From a practical point of view, the most pathogenic parasites and of greatest resistance concern were the Cyathostomids, which are included within the Strongylidae and whose prevalence was greater than 50%. The OR of presenting Strongylidae was 49% lower in equines that participated in fairs compared to those that did not.

La presente cartilla pretende analizar el estado sanitario de la produccion equina en los municipios antioquenos de Barbosa, Bello, Caldas, Copacabana, Envigado, Girardota, Itagui, La Estrella Medellin, Sabaneta y Rionegro. El analisis se centra en encontrar las prevalencias de las enfermedades mas comunes que generan perdidas economicas al productor, implementar medidas de manejo en la produccion y proponer un plan sanitario acorde al perfil de cada region.
