ABSTRACT



The examination was performed on 81 fecal samples, collected from swine, which came from three farms located in Dolnoslaskie and Wielkopolskie provinces, and on 42 samples from dogs from experimental breeding and dogs belongs to private owners. With both methods, as well Fülleborn’s method as Fecalyzer method, infection in swine of coccidia (Coccidia) and nematods: Oesophagostomum spp. and Ascaris suum was detected. While, in dog feces the eggs of large roundworm Toxascaris leonina and whipworm Trichuris vulpis was detected. Method with Fecalyzer turned out slightly more sensitive than Fülleborn’s method in case of infection of A. suum in swine and T. vulpis in dogs, and differences in prevalence of infection with this parasites amounted suitably 1.2% and 2.4%. Besides, method with Fecalyzer was characterized by smaller labour intensity and was less time-consuming than Fülleborn’s method. Optimal, recommended time after which should be made result reading in this method, should be at least 10 minutes.

Key words: fecal flotation, F?born, Fecalyzer, parasites, swine, dogs.
