Jenis dan Prevalensi Parasit Gastrointestinal pada Kelinci (Oryctolagus cuniculus) di Taman Satwa Citra Pesona Ladangku, Pancur Batu, Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the type, prevalence and intensity of endoparasite attack on rabbit feces (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Citra Pesona Ladangku Animal Park. This research was conducted from May to June 2022. Rabbit feces were collected by observing rabbits. Sample testing was carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory of the Medan Veterinary Center with the EPG Mc. Masters. From a total of 13 samples, all of them were positive for parasite infection. The types of parasites identified were Eimeria sp., Trichostrongylus sp., Cittotaenia sp. and Taenia sp.. Eimeria sp. having a prevalence of 92.30% (almost always) and an attack intensity of 600 (very severe parasites), Trichostrongylus sp. has a prevalence of 23.07% (often) and an attack intensity of 100 (severe parasites), Cittotaenia sp. It has a prevalence of 23.07% (often) and an attack intensity of 133.3% (very severe parasites) and Taenia sp. has a prevalence of 76.92% (Usually) and an attack intensity of 1340 (Super parasitic infection).
