- Abstract
The objective was to evaluate the use of the raisedslated floor to control gastrointestinal parasites and to determine their effect on some production variables. Thirty two lambs divided into two groups were used. The first, housed in raised-slated floor (RSF), the second in pens with concrete floor (CF). Stool samples were taken weekly, food consumption and daily weight gain (DWG) were recorded. A qualitative and quantitative analysis were performed on the feces. There was no difference in the number of protozoan oocysts (4,979 vs. 5,206), cestodes (125 vs. 56) or nematodes (590 vs. 490) between the RSF and CF groups, respectively. There was also no difference on DGW (240g RSF vs. 230 g CF) and feed conversion (4.74 RSF vs. 4.75 CF). Under conditions of the present work there is no difference between lambs on grid floor and lambs on concrete floor in the gastrointestinal parasite control, neither in the productive behavior.
