Resumen
This study aims to compare the efficacy of the diatomaceous earth as an antiparasitic treatment with the use of Ivermectin and Albendazole in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), just as the impact on the productive behavior during the growth-fattening stage. It was considered the following: final weight; weight gain; initial and final coproparasitary analysis, through stool samples of each treatment. 15 stool samples were analyzed throughout the float and sedimentation methods. This study was conducted at the author’s facilities, in Macas, Morona Santiago province, under a completely randomized design, through the statistical package InfoStat and the Tukey test 0,05 significance, by applying three treatments and five repetitions. This study was developed with 30 experimental units, involving improved male guinea pigs Perù breed, 21 days old; the activity has been developed in 85 days. As a result, there was a significant difference between the two antiparasitic treatments. Hence, T1 (diatom), indicated an increased final weight gain of 671,5 grams, a final average weight of 1043,38 grams; and is therefore economically highly profitable (C/B of 1,18). It was determined that treatment T2 (Ivermectin) reduced the parasitic load to 47,32% at early stage and 9,86% after 85 days. In conclusion, by applying diatom as a treatment didn’t reduce the parasitic load in guinea pigs. Therefore, it is suggested to apply ivermectin in an injection to have a greater parasitic load reduction and supplement 3% diatom feed during growth - fattening stage, as it is the best option considering productive and economic criteria.
