INTRODUCTION
Skin disorders are a common problem in bali cattle. A skin
disease that can infect cattle bali is dermatophytosis or better
known as ringworm that caused by a dermatophytes fungus. This
disease not only can cause high economic losses in the farm but
also potentially transmit the infection to humans (zoonosis). The
discomfort felt by cattle due to the itching caused
dermatophytosis can cause disruption of cattle feeding activities
or cattle eating occasion. This is likely to change the blood
overview, one of them in total erythrocytes. This study aims to
determine the bali cattle total erythrocytes infected with
dermatophytosis. Results of this study are expected to provide
information on the bali cattle total erythrocytes infected with
dermatophytosis so that later can be used to support the diagnosis
of dermatophytosis in Bali cattle.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This study used 12 blood samples of adult female bali cattle,
consisting of 6 samples of normal bali cattle blood (non-infected
dermatophytosis) and 6 samples of infection bali cattle blood
(infected dermatophytosis). Bali cattle suspected of
dermatophytosis, skin scrapings and hair samples were taken to
confirm the dermatophytosis diagnose with through KOH
examination and SDA cultured. Bali cattle blood samples were
collected and examined manually using a hemocytometer. The
data results of blood examination were analyzed statistically by ttest method.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Total erythrocyte count results are presented in Table 1.

Table 1 shows the overview of normal bali cattle (noninfected dermatophytosis) total erythrocytes and infection
bali cattle (infected dermatophytosis) total erythrocytes are
within normal limits. Statistically, the total erythrocytes of
normal bali cattle and total erythrocytes of infection bali
cattle showed no difference (p> 0.05).
Itching symptoms (pruritus) due to dermatophytosis
varies on eac h animal. Possibility itching that caused
dermatophytosis on Bali cattle is minimal and does not
interfere bali cattle eat activity so that the body's intake of
nutrients obtained also normal.
CONCLUSION
Based on the results, it can be concluded that total
erythrocytes of bali cattle infected with dermatophytosis
still within normal limits so that the total erythrocytes can
not be used as a basis for the diagnosis of
dermatophytosis in Bali cattle.
