Identifikasi Endoparasit Gastrointestinal Domba (Ovis sp.) pada Usia Anakan, Dara, dan Dewasa di Peternakan Arjuna, Kecamatan Deli Tua, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Gastrointestinal endoparasite infection is an infection that causes a decrease in the productivity level of sheep so that it detriments to the farmers. The research on the identification of gastrointestinal endoparasites of sheep (Ovis sp.) at the various age stage of lamb, virgin and adults in the Arjuna Farm, Deli Tua District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, was conducted from January to February 2022. The purpose of this study was to compare the type, the prevalence and the intensity of endoparasites in each age group. Samples were taken as many as 7 fresh feces from each groups of lamb, virgin, and adult from a total of 21 sheep. Sample examination was carried out at the Parasitology Laboratory, Balai Veteriner Medan with the EPG Mc. Master method. The results showed 5 types of gastrointestinal endoparasites, including Eimeria sp., Dicrocoelium sp., Haemonchus sp., Strongyloides sp., and Capillaria sp.. The feces of the lamb was found to had Eimeria sp. with a prevalence of 85.7% in commonly category and the attack intensity of 2216.6 in superinfection category. Haemonchus sp. had a prevalence of 85% (common), an attack intensity of 671.4 (very heavy), and the Strongyloides sp. had a prevalence of 85% (common) and an attack intensity of 200 (very heavy). The virgin sheep feces found to had Eimeria sp. with a prevalence of 100% (common) and an attack intensity of 2871.4 (superinfection. Haemonchus sp. had a prevalence of 100% (common) and an attack intensity of 1200 (superinfection), The Strongyloides sp. Had a prevalence of 71% (usually) and an attack intensity of 860 (very heavy) and the Dicrocoelium sp. had a prevalence of 14% (often) and an attack intensity of 400 (very heavy). The adult sheep feces were found to had Eimeria sp. with a prevalence of 100% (common) and an attack intensity of 371.4 (very heavy). The Haemonchus sp. Had a prevalence of 14% (often) and an attack intensity of 200 (very heavy. The Strongyloides sp. Had a prevalence of 57% (frequently) and an attack intensity of 200 (very heavy) and the Capillaria sp. had a prevalence of 14% (often) and an attack intensity of 100 (heavy). The prevalence and intensity of attacks from eggs of endoparasites and protozoa in Arjuna Farm, Deli Tua District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra was classified as very high

Infeksi endoparasit gastrointestinal dapat menyebabkan penurunan tingkat produktivitas hewan ternak domba sehingga dapat merugikan peternak. Penelitian tentang identifikasi endoparasit gastrointestinal domba (Ovis sp.) pada usia anakan, dara dan dewasa di Peternakan Arjuna, Kecamatan Deli Tua, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara, telah dilakukan pada bulan Januari hingga Februari 2022. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk membandingkan jenis, prevalensi dan intensitas endoparasit pada setiap kelompok usia. Sampel yang diambil sebanyak 7 feses segar dari setiap jumlah kelompok anakan, dara, dan dewasa yaitu 21 ekor domba. Pemeriksaan sampel dilakukan di Laboratorium Parasitologi, Balai Veteriner Medan dengan metode EPG Mc. Master. Hasil penelitian didapatkan 5 jenis endoparasit gastrointestinal antara lain Eimeria sp., Dicrocoelium sp., Haemonchus sp., Strongyloides sp., dan Capillaria sp.. Feses domba anakan ditemukan jenis Eimeria sp. dengan prevalensi 85,7% (almost always) serta intensitas serangan 2216,6 (super infection); Haemonchus sp. dengan prevalensi 85% (almost always) serta intensitas serangan 671,4 (very heavy); dan Strongyloides sp. dengan prevalensi 85% (almost always) serta intensitas serangan 200 (very heavy). Feses domba dara ditemukan jenis Eimeria sp. dengan prevalensi 100% (almost always) serta intensitas serangan 2871,4 (super infection); Haemonchus sp. dengan prevalensi 100% (almost always) serta intensitas serangan 1200 (super infection); Strongyloides sp. dengan prevalensi 71% (usualy) serta intensitas serangan 860 (very heavy); dan Dicrocoelium sp. dengan prevalensi 14% (often) serta intensitas serangan 400 (very heavy). Feses domba dewasa ditemukan jenis Eimeria sp. dengan prevalensi 100% (almost always) serta intensitas serangan 371,4 (very heavy); Haemonchus sp. dengan prevalensi 14% (often) serta intensitas serangan 200 (very heavy); Strongyloides sp. dengan prevalensi 57% (frequently) serta intensitas serangan 200 (very heavy); dan Capillaria sp. dengan prevalensi 14% (often) serta intensitas serangan 100 (heavy). Tingkat prevalensi dan intensitas serangan dari telur cacing endoparasit dan protozoa di Peternakan Arjuna, Kecamatan Deli Tua, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara sudah tergolong sangat tinggi.
