Abstract:
Comparative studies were done to test the practicability of various methods of detection in bovine sarcosporidiosis. Macroscopic examination of meat, trichinoscopy and artificial digestion were carried out using meat from the heart and oesophagus. A total of ninety-one random animals were involved. It was concluded that artificial digestion of trypsin is the method of choice (practical, sensitive). As much as 100 per cent of the animals were found to be infected with Sarcocystis spp.
