Abstract

Protozoan diseases caused by Buxtonella sulcata have been one of the constant challenges of the livestock industry in all periods and especially in developing countries such as third world countries such as Iran. Buaxtonella sulcata protozoan is one of the ciliated protozoa of the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, especially large ruminants. It converts food and ultimately reduces production efficiency in livestock. In this study, 386 calf fecal samples were sampled from Qazvin province. Then we searched and observed the parasite with two methods of microscopic observation and staining and also with the method of molecular analysis. In the molecular method 27 samples were about 7% and in the direct observation method 19 samples about 5% contamination was observed. Statistical analysis was collected and classified by Excel2010 software and then performed by SPSS software using Chi-square test. According to the results, veterinarians need to pay more attention to this protozoan and prevent possible injuries.
