Abstract

One of the diseases quite detrimental to animals in captivity is infection with gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal diseases cause losses by absorbing some of the nutrients in their landlady, leading to anemia, thinness, decreased endurance, and decreased production. This study aims to determine the types of endoparasite worms and the number of eggs of endoparasite worms that infect animals of the Timor deer type (Cervus timorensis) in the Pangandaran Nature Reserve area. This research was conducted in the Pangandaran Nature Reserve area. This study aims to determine the types of endoparasite worms and the number of eggs of endoparasite worms that infect animals of the Timor deer type (Cervus timorensis) in the Pangandaran Nature Reserve area. This study used the Survey method; sampling data were taken using the Random Sampling technique of 30 samples, which were divided into two areas, namely from outside the boundaries of the Nature Reserve Area and from within the edges of the Pangandaran Nature Reserve Area, regardless of gender and age. The parameters measured are the average number of eggs and the type of endoparasites. The results of this study showed that the kinds of endoparasites identified with the number of eggs in Timor deer were Ascaris sp (60 EPG), Strongyloides sp (30 EPG), Toxocara sp (30 EPG), and the degree of infection was in a low category and Fasciolla sp (10 EPG) the degree of disease was in the type of moderate infection.
