Jenis dan Tingkat Serangan Parasit Gastrointestinal Kuda (Equus coballus) di Peternakan Kuda Desa Sempajaya Berastagi Provinsi Sumatera Utara

JENIS DAN TINGKAT SERANGAN PARASIT GASTROINTESTINAL
KUDA (Equus coballus) DI PETERNAKAN KUDA DESA SEMPAJAYA
BERASTAGI, PROVINSI SUMATERA UTARA

ABSTRAK

Penelitian tentang jenis dan tingkat serangan parasit gastrointestinal kuda
(Equus coballus) di peternakan kuda desa Sempajaya Berastagi, provinsi
Sumatera Utara telah dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode sedimentasi glass
beads. Sebanyak 30 ekor kuda dikelompokkan menjadi dua yaitu kelompok kuda
anakan (umur 2 tahun), kemudian
diperiksa untuk menghitung telur cacing per gram feses. Hasil pengamatan dari 30
sampel feses kuda dengan masing-masing tiga kali ulangan, ditemukan 5 jenis
yaitu Haemonchus sp., Ostertagia sp., Strongyloides westeri, Ascaris equorum
dan Paramphistomum sp. Prevalensi parasit gastrointestinal pada kelompok kuda
anakan yaitu Haemonchus sp. (30 %), Strongyloides westeri (40 %), Ascaris
equorum (10 %) dan Paramphistomum sp. (10 %), sedangkan pada kelompok
kuda dewasa yaitu, Haemonchus sp. (55 %), Ostertagia sp. (5 %), Strongyloides
westeri (5 %) dan Paramphistomum sp. (15 %).

TYPE AND LEVEL OF GASTROINTESTINAL PARASITES ATTACKS
IN HORSES (Equus Coballus) IN HORSE FARM OF SEMPAJAYA
BERASTAGI VILLAGE, NORTH SUMATRA

ABSTRACT

Research about type and level of gastrointestinal parasites attacks in horse (Equus
coballus) in horse farm of Sempajaya Berastagi village, North Sumatra is
explained using sedimentation method with the glass beads. A total of thirty
horses collected from young horses group (2 years ago) for counting faecal egg per gram. Thirty faecal samples in three
time recycling of each, the result shows that there were five kind type is
Haemonchus sp., Ostertagia sp., Strongyloides westeri, Ascaris equorum and
Paramphistomum sp. The prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in young horses
group is Haemonchus sp. (30 %), Strongyloides westeri (40 %), Ascaris equorum
(10 %) and Paramphistomum sp. (10 %) whereas in adult horses group, the
prevalence is Haemonchus sp. (55 %), Ostertagia sp. (5 %), Strongyloides westeri
(5 %) and Paramphistomum sp. (15 %).
