- Abstract
The article titled "Coccidiosis in Romosinuano and Costeño con Cuernos calves in Córdoba, Colombia" reports on a study conducted at the Turipaná Agrosavia Research Center in Cereté, Córdoba, with the aim of determining the frequency of coccidiosis in Romosinuano (RS) and Costeño con Cuernos (CCC) calves. Fecal samples were taken and the modified McMaster method was used to quantify oocysts per gram of feces. The results showed that 67.3% of the calves studied tested positive for coccidiosis, with an average load of 128.5 oocysts per gram of feces. It is concluded that there is a high frequency of coccidia parasitism in the calves, although with a low parasite load. Further research is suggested, including molecular and sporulation techniques, to identify the Eimeria species involved in the parasitic dynamics.
