Abstract

This study aims to identify bacteria and the prevalence value of bacteria found in probosci's monkey feces as a picture of proboscis monkey digestive health. Seventeen fecal samples from each proboscis monkey, namely Mimin, Chikita, and Pedro, were taken at the Bekantan Rescue Center, Sahabat Bekantan Indonesia Foundation (SBI). Feces were identified by making macroscopic and microscopic observations. Visible observations include consistency, color, mucus, and blood in the physical feces. Microscopic observations were made by culturing feces on Mac Conkey, blood agar, EMBA, DHL agar, and NA media, followed by gram staining and biochemical tests consisting of VP (Voges-Proskaeur) test, methyl red test, indole test, citrate test, and lactose test. The results of identifying 17 feces samples from each probosci's monkey found the presence of E.coli bacteria from microscopic testing. The prevalence of E.coli bacteria in Mimin, Chikita, and Pedro is 41.17%; 35.29%; 35.29%, so it is concluded that the presence of E.coli is a typical bacterium that is not harmful to the digestion of proboscis monkeys, supported by observations on the physical macroscopic feces of good probosci's monkeys.

Abstract

The proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is one of the endemic primates on the island of Borneo which is protected in Indonesia. Rehabilitation efforts are important to prevent extinction of the proboscis monkey. Parasitic diseases are diseases that often infect primates in rehabilitation centers. Examination feces is one way to diagnose the presence of parasitic worms in the animal's body. This study aims to identify and know Prevalence of types of parasitic worms found in the feces of proboscis monkeys at the Bekantan Rescue Center Sahabat Bekantan Foundation (SBI). Sampling of proboscis monkey feces was carried out for 20 days on three proboscis monkeys at SBI. Identification of endoparasites is carried out in the Parasitology Laboratory, Banjarbaru Veterinary Center, South Kalimantan, using the Whitlock sedimentation method. The results of this study indicate that there are types of worms Trichuris trichiura, Trichostrongylus sp. and Oesophagostomum sp. found in proboscis monkey feces samples. The highest prevalence was found in the type of worm Trichuris trichiura which was found in Mimin's proboscis monkey, which was 35%.
