Assessing Emeria spp and other parasites in the digestive track of guinea fowls (Numida meleagris) farmed in northern Côte d'Ivoire

This study was conducted in four departments of the North of Côte d’Ivoire from November 2016 to October 2017. The aim of the survey was to identify the gastrointestinal parasites responsible for the numerous mortalities and economic losses observed among guinea fowl breeders in the north of Ivory Coast. Thus, a coprological study of 448 feces emitted from animals or taken directly from the small intestine and caeca of dead animals was conducted in (LANADA). The results reveal the presence of five parasites Eimeria spp; Ascaris spp; strongle spp; Trichurus spp and Taenia spp. Coccidia is most represented with an overall prevalence of 42.85%, followed by Ascaris spp (16.07%), strongle spp (14.06%), Trichuris spp (5.35%) and Taenia spp (1.33%). The department of Korhogo has the most rate of coccidia with a prevalence of 77.68%. However, the department of Sinématiali hosts the highest diversity of parasite overall with the presence of the five parasites. Subjects infected are more pronounced during the wet season with the highest prevalence rates in animals over 21 days of age. To increase productivity in Guinea fowl breeding in the north of the country, it would be interesting to offer to breeders, a prophylaxis program adapted to this method of breeding.
