SUMMARY:

The domestic pig descends from the wild boar (Sus scrofa), with a wide geographic distribution, with pig farming practiced in almost all countries and, currently, pork is the most consumed in the world, being the main source of protein for many cultures.Brazil is the fourth largest pork producer in the world, with the highest concentration of livestock in the southern region and the lowest in the north-northeast regions.Amapá is the last producing state in the national ranking and the majority of its creation is subsistence, using family labor.Pig farms known as family farms are generally adopted on small and medium-sized properties with low or no technology and biosecurity practices, leading to low productivity.Internal parasites are the main causes of losses in pig productivity.This work aims to investigate the gastrointestinal nematofauna of pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) from traditional quilombola farms located in the municipality of Macapá, Amapá, eastern Amazon, Brazil and to draw a profile of pig farmers in these communities based on a questionnaire with socioeconomic information and information onknowledge of worms and sanitary management in pigs.99 fecal samples from pigs from quilombola areas located in the municipality of Macapá were analyzed.Fecal samples were collected after the animals were free to defecate, stored and sent to the laboratory at Universidade Anhanguera - Macapá, where they were analyzed using flotation, sedimentation and OPG techniques.To investigate specimens, analyzes of gastrointestinal parts from pigs slaughtered on the properties during the research period were carried out.The specimens were removed and fixed in Formaldehyde and sent for analysis at the Animal Histology and Embryology Laboratory-LHEA/ISPA/UFRA, with the aid of a stereoscopic microscope (LEICA ES2).The determination of the parasites will be carried out with the aid of dichotomous identification keys obtained from available books and scientific articles, with original descriptions and redescriptions of species and for the statistical analysis of the collected data, the prevalence (in %) will be calculated.
