SUMMARY:

Pork is the most consumed meat in the world, being the main source of protein for many cultures.Enteroparasitoses are related to the main causes of losses in pig productivity, especially for small producers.This work investigated the gastrointestinal nematofauna of Sus scrofa domesticus from traditional quilombola farms located in the municipality of Macapá/AP and characterized the pig farming developed by quilombola communities, located in the metropolitan region.19 farms participated in the study, where 119 fecal samples were collected from pigs, after the animals defecated freely.The results demonstrated the prevalence of 84.03% of positive samples for at least one of the helminths investigated.Co-infection was significant, where 79% of the samples were parasitized by more than one agent.The Quilombola Community with the highest rate of parasitism was Quilombo do Curiaú (100%), followed by the Quilombola community São Pedro dos bois (90%), Comunidade Mel da Pedreira (89.36%) and Curralinho (45.45%).Among the agents involved, those with the highest prevalence were 54.62% of Strogyloidea, 55.46% of Ascaris spp, 40.34% of Strongyloides spp, 10.08% of Trichuris sp and 1.68% of Oxyurus sp.. In the quantitative analysis by OPG, the average (standard deviation) of eggs found was 195.84 (197.55), varying from 0 to 1650. Quilombola pig farms in the metropolitan region of Macapá/AP were characterized by small creations, with family labor, with an average of 28.15 animals (62.01) and a median of 11, ranging from 3 to 280 animals.Although they were small farms, pig farming is aimed at local commerce, being a source of income for the local producer.The main breeding system adopted was confinement in a stall/sty system (79%), followed by a mixed system (confined/free) in 16% and a semi-confinement system (5%).In 73.68% of creations the complete cycle is practiced and 26.32% the incomplete cycle.In relation to the physical structures of the accommodation, 52.53% had masonry walls and concrete floors, 26.26% were made of masonry with an overlapping bed system, 19.19% were made of wood and flooring, and 2.02% were made of wood. and concrete floor.Around 63.16% of breeders use commercial feed exclusively, while 26.32% use supplements (fruit, cassava shavings, vegetables, food waste, etc.) in addition to feed.In 10.53% of the farms, feed was supplemented with food waste.The main source of water for the animals was the artesian well (73.68%).
