Abstract

Endoparasites are the primary cause of health problems in goats. Endoparasite infections lead to various clinical issues that reduce livestock productivity. The research of endoparasites in goats at Bomo Farm, Percut Sei Tuan, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra, was conducted in January 2025. This research aims to identify the types, the prevalence and the intensity of endoparasite infection in goats. The samples used in this study were fresh feces collected from 20 goats.
