The methods of the direct determination of sarcocysts in bovine muscle were studied. The results obtained with the compression, histological, homogenization and digestion methods were compared and evaluated. The criteria included capture rate, labor requirement, economic requirements, expediency and diagnostic reliability. The compression method was found to be the cheapest but, at the same time, the least reliable. The highest capture rate and diagnostic reliability were found in the digestion method with trypsin used as the diagnostic agent.
