Prevalence and Diversity of Gastrointestinal Endoparasite in Madura Cattle at Papabaru, East Java, Indonesia

This study aimed to describe the gastrointestinal endoparasite in Madura cattle at four Madura regency, East Java, Indonesia. A total of 400 samples of Madura cattle were collected from four sub-district at Pamekasan Regency as follows: Pakong, Pasean, Batumarmar, and Waru (PAPABARU). The collected feces were examined using whitlock sedimentation methods. The specific species was identified by their morphology. A total 43 Madura cattles were infected by nematode worm as follows: Oesophagostomum sp., Cooperia sp., Capilaria sp., Ostertagia sp, and Moniezia sp) while, 14 Madura cattles infected by trematode worms (Fasciola sp and Paramphistomum sp). The prevalence of gastrointestinal endoparasite was found as follows: Cooperia sp. 31%, Fasciola sp. 12%, Oesophagostomum sp. 6%, Moniezia sp. 4%, Paramphistomum sp. 2%, Capilaria sp. 2%, and Ostertagia sp. 2%. To sum up, endoparasite infection of cattle is common in PAPABARU. Studies found that the prevalence of endoparasite and geographical distribution are needed and effective for prevention and control. It is concluded, prevalence rate is vital in monitoring the impact on the infection, health, and maintenance of Madura cattle population.
