Abstract

The aimed of this research is to determine the prevalence of Haemonchus. contortus and the associated risk factors. In this study, 739 fecal samples from Lakor goats were randomly collected from five villages in Lakor District, Southwest Maluku. All samples were taken from goats showing clinical symptoms such as emaciation, diarrhea, dull fur, and inactive. Fecal samples were examined using the native method. Data presentation was analysed using the Chi-Square (X2) and Spearman's test statistical analysis methods. The prevalence of H. contortus in Lakor goats in the Lakor sub-District was 81.60% with the highest prevalence was found in Yamluli Village and Lolotuara Village. The correlation coefficient was 0.838** - 0.931** (P0.01). These data indicated that there is a close relationship between the incidence of H. contortus worm infection in lakor goats and the risk factors in the form of gender, age of the goat and body score condition (BCS) as indicated by the high correlation values.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal nematodes are one of the common groups of parasites in ruminants, especially goats. These parasites are also affected livestock productivity. This study aims to identify gastrointestinal nematode parasites and prevalence of infection to kambing kacang in Tiakur, Moa District, Southwest Maluku. The samples in this study are fecal collected from 50 kacang goats that are raised semi-intensively by two local farms in Tiakur. The examination of parasites eggs was performed using the direct native method and the test results were analyzed descriptively. The results of this study reveal the prevalence of 80% gastrointestinal parasite in farm 1 and 92% in farm 2. Parasite species that are infected kacang goats in two local farms in Tiakur are Haemonchus contortus, Trichuris sp., and Trichostrongylus sp. Lack of knowledge from the farmers about the implementation of biosecurity and maintenance management has a significant impact on gastrointestinal parasite infections in goats. This study also supports the local farmers to increase and improve the knowledge and increase deworming schedules to prevent the animal from parasites infections.
