Coproparasitological evaluation of specimens of Amazona rhodocorytha in private breeding captivity in Espírito Santo
Resumen
Incorrect management techniques can contribute negatively to the health of captive birds. Among these various diseases that may develop, the endoparasites is one of the most commonly reported. Was studied the occurrence of endoparasites in 11 parrots Amazona rhodocorytha in captivity of Commercial Breeding and Conservationist. Collected a pool of fecal samples for subsequent laboratory examination by the methods Willis Mollay, Faust and Hoffman modify. The diagnosis was positive for Eimeria sp. The animals were treated for five days with trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole associated with, 50mg/ml suspension at a dose of 30mg/kg every 24 hours, along with changes in the management sanitary.
