Abstract

This study aims to determine the prevalence and number of trematode eggs (Fasciola gigantica and Paramphistomum spp) in different hair colorof Aceh cattle. This research used feces collected from 105 cattle in Mesjid Raya Sub-district, Aceh Besar. The feces samples were divided into 3 groups based on the color of the cattle hair (red, white, and black) and each group consist of 15 male and 20 female cattle. Simple random sampling was used to determine the sample. The number of eggs per gram of feces (TTGT) was determined using Borray modification sedimentation method. The results showed that different haircolor of Aceh cattle revealed different trematode egg number (red 7.02, white 12.2, and black 7.03) and different trematode prevalence rate (red 80%, white 85.7%, and black 88.5%). In conclusion, the lowest number of trematode parasite eggs in each gram of feces and the lowest prevalence rate was observed in red hair color of Aceh cattle.
