Abstract

As an annual Muslim celebration, Eid al-Adha Feast is celebrated every year in Malang City. In 2019 feast, animals were sacrificed in Malang City consisting of 1202 cattle, 3572 goats and 302 sheep. Antemortem and postmortem examination were very important steps to ensure the quality of consumable animal product produced during the feast. The importance of these examination was to prevent zoonotic food-borne and transmissible disease from contaminated animal product to other livestocks nearby. Fascioliosis was listed into routine disease check due to its potential to reduce the quality of animal product, especially the liver. This study was held in 5 sub-districts in Malang City according to descriptive data collected by interview and structural questionnaire as well as visual observation. The result showed that fascioliosis happened in 26,03% of cattle, 2,93% of goats, and 1,32% of sheep being slaughtered. We also analized several risk factors influencing fascioliosis incidence rate such as body score condition and age. The fascioliosis tent to happen in medium and mature animal by age in respectively 31,62% of cattle, 54,28% of goats, and 75% of sheep. Thus, prevention and curative evaluation of fascioliosis should be continuously developed in order to provide excellent animal products.

Abstract

The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is among the most commonly kept pet lizards, yet helminth infections remain a frequent health concern in captivity, often exacerbated by stress, inadequate husbandry, and immunosuppression. Untreated infections compromise animal welfare and contribute to physiological stress. Regular anthelmintic treatment is essential for reducing the parasitic burden and improving reptile health. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the anthelmintic therapy, fenbendazole and praziquantel + emodepside combination, on the degree of Oxyurid infection in Iguana iguana. Treatment efficacy was assessed based on the interpretation of FECRT outcomes in both the treated and control groups. The 27 infected Iguana iguana were randomly separated into three equal groups. Nine infected iguanas received one of the following treatments: placebo (P0 Control) and fenbendazole at a dose of 25 mg/kg body weight (BW) orally for three days (P1). Praziquantel + emodepside anthelmintic will be administered topically (spot-on) at a dose of 1.12 ml/kg body weight (BW) (P2). The efficacy of the therapies was evaluated on the 30th day after treatment. A fecal examination was carried out utilizing the flotation and McMaster methods. The average FECRT findings revealed that fenbendazole was 100% effective at 25 mg/kg body weight (BW). Subsequently, praziquantel + emodepside combined at 1.12ml/kg body weight (BW) was 90% effective in Iguana iguana infected with Oxyurid. This study found that fenbendazole was more effective dewormer than praziquantel + emodepside in green iguana against Oxyurid.
