Abstract

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of coccidiosis. Samples were obtained from 400 dairy cattle (196 calves aged 6 months, 37 calves aged 6-12 months, and 167 calves aged 12 months). Feces samples were collected, examined and counted for prevalence and number of oocyst per gram faeces (OPG) by McMaster technique. A questionnaire was design to record information about animal health and husbandry, individually. Risk factors associated with the prevalence of Eimeria in cattle were analyzed by logistic regression model. The overall prevalence and the average of OPG of Eimeria in cattle was 179 (44.75%) and 286.75, while highest prevalence of Eimeria was observed in calves aged less than 6 months. Cattle aged more than 12 months showed significantly different relationship (P0.05) to the prevalence of Eimeria infection compare to calves aged less than 6 months and aged 6-12 months. The presence of an immature immune system in younger calves resulting in their higher susceptibility to coccidiosis. Among management and animal health practices, floor type and treatment of cattle influence the prevalence of Eimeria in cattle.

Abstract

Coccidiosis is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases affecting cattle worldwide, caused by Eimeria spp. This study aimed to determine the composition of Eimeria species and the factors influencing Eimeria oocyst shedding in dairy farms. A cross-sectional study was conducted in dairy farms in South Bandung District from July 2014 to January 2015. Fecal samples were collected from 400 dairy cattle, consisting of 196 calves aged < 6 months, 37 cattle aged 6–12 months, and 167 cattle aged > 12 months. Samples were examined and quantified for Eimeria species composition and oocyst per gram (OPG) counts using the McMaster technique. A questionnaire was administered to dairy farmers to gather information on cattle health status and husbandry practices. The effects of sex, age, and pen flooring type on OPG values were analyzed using Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests, followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test. Ten Eimeria species were identified in the infected cattle. Among them, Eimeria bovis showed the highest prevalence (42.5%), followed by Eimeria wyomingensis (39.1%), Eimeria bukidnonensis (32.4%), Eimeria pellita (26.3%), Eimeria auburnensis (19.6%), Eimeria zuernii (17.3%), Eimeria cylindrica (3.9%), Eimeria canadensis (3.9%), Eimeria brasiliensis (3.4%), and Eimeria alabamensis (1.1%). Oocyst shedding was significantly correlated (p < 0.05) with cattle sex, age, and pen flooring type, all of which influenced infection pressure. Younger calves aged < 6 months shed the highest numbers of Eimeria oocysts compared to older cattle. Several factors may contribute to the increased OPG in fecal samples; therefore, maintaining proper sanitation and implementing effective Eimeria control measures are essential for dairy cattle management in KPBS Pangalengan.
