Infestasi cacing pada domba ekor tipis dari rumah pemotongan domba rakyat di Bogor

Abstract

There are two kinds of sheep in Java, the thin tail sheep (which is the common livestock in Bogor) and the fat tail sheep. Both type of sheep could be infected by worm parasites in digestive tract, which reduce the health of the sheep. Therefore, the objections of this research were counting and identifying the worm eggs from faecal samples of thin tail sheep which slaughtered in the sheep’s abattoir house in Bogor. From the total 35 samples collection, I found 18 samples were infected by the worm parasites. The worm parasites were found in all sample of males, meanwhile they were also found in half of faecal sample of females. The egg worms that found in this research belonged to six families, they were Schistosomatidae (3,45%), Anoplocephalidae (6,90%), Ascarididae (3,45%), Trichostrongylidae (41,38%), Capillaridae (37,93%) and Trichuriidae (6,90%). The average of worm eggs infestation from all samples were 892 egg/g faeces, which included to the average category of infection degree. This research also showed that the rain had no influence to the eggs number.
