Analisis Parasit Gastrointestinal Babi (Sus spp.) di Rumah Potong Hewan Mabar Hilir, Kecamatan Medan Deli, Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Gastrointestinal parasitic infection is an infection that causes a decrease in the productivity level of pigs on farms so that it can be economically detrimental to farmers. Research on the analysis of gastrointestinal parasites of pigs (Sus spp.) at the Mabar Hilir Slaughterhouse, Medan Deli District, North Sumatra, was conducted from July to August 2021. The purpose of this study was to determine the type, prevalence and intensity of endoparasites. The sample used in this study was fresh feces of 30 pigs from 3 regions, namely Tigarunggu, Merek and Simarjarunjung, 10 samples of feces were taken from each area. Sample examination was carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory, Balai Veteriner Medan with the native method (direct slide). The results showed that the types of gastrointestinal parasites, that is Ascaris sp. and Buxtonella sp. In Tigarunggu area, Ascaris sp. with a prevalence of 10% (Often) and an attack intensity of 1 (light) and Buxtonella sp. with a prevalence of 20% (Often) and an attack intensity of 4.5 (light). In the Merek, Buxtonella sp. with prevalence 30% (Commonly) and attack intensity 3.33 (light). In the Simarjarunjung area, Ascaris sp. with a prevalence of 10% (Often). The prevalence and intensity of parasitic eggs and protozoan in the Mabar Hilir Slaughterhouse, Medan Deli District, North Sumatra, is still relatively low.

Infeksi parasit gastrointestinal merupakan infeksi yang menyebabkan penurunan tingkat produktivitas hewan ternak babi pada peternakan sehingga dapat merugikan secara ekonomis bagi peternak. Penelitian tentang analisis parasit gastrointestinal babi (Sus spp.) di Rumah Potong Hewan Mabar Hilir, Kecamatan Medan Deli, Sumatera Utara, telah dilakukan pada bulan Juli hingga Agustus 2021. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui jenis, prevalensi dan intensitas endoparasit. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah feses segar sebanyak 30 ekor babi dari 3 daerah yaitu Tigarunggu, Merek dan Simarjarunjung, setiap daerah diambil 10 sampel feses. Pemeriksaan sampel dilakukan di Laboratorium Parasitologi, Balai Veteriner Medan dengan metode natif (direct slide). Hasil penelitian didapatkan jenis parasit gastrointestinal antara lain Ascaris sp. dan Buxtonella sp. Pada daerah Tigarunggu ditemukan jenis Ascaris sp. dengan prevalensi 10 % (Often) serta intensitas serangan 1 (light) dan Buxtonella sp. dengan prevalensi 20 % (Often) serta intensitas serangan 4,5 (light). Pada daerah Merek ditemukan jenis Buxtonella sp. dengan prevalensi 30 % (Commonly) serta intensitas serangan 3,33 (light). Pada daerah Simarjarunjung ditemukan jenis Ascaris sp. dengan prevalensi 10 % (Often). Tingkat prevalensi dan intensitas telur cacing parasit dan protozoa di Rumah Potong Hewan Mabar Hilir, Kecamatan Medan Deli, Sumatera Utara, masih tergolong rendah.
