Identifikasi Cacing Gastrointestinal pada Babi di Kabupaten Jayawijaya dan Paniai, Provinsi Papua

Abstract

The rearing of pigs in the mountains of Papua is generally based on the free-range method during the daylight. Poor environmental sanitation and free-range management have been reported as risk factors of gastrointestinal worm infestation in pigs. In general, gastrointestinal parasite infestation can cause a loss of appetite, impede growth, decrease feed conversion rate, and increase vulnerabilities toward other pathogens. To add to that, the acute levels of infestation can cause death. Furthermore, some species can infest humans (zoonotic). As zoonotic parasites can impact the productivity and health of the people, it is crucial to identify the species of such parasites. This research was conducted in Umpakalo village at Kurulu district, Jayawijaya region, and three other villages namely Obaipugaida, Eyagitaida, and Ugituwataida at Ekadide district, Paniai region. Forty-five fecal samples from different pigs were used as the research material. The native method was used to identify the physical appearance of the eggs, and in turn, identify the species of the parasite. The data was analyzed in the tabulation form. The conclusion obtained in this research is that 95% of the fecal samples were infected by the gastrointestinal worms. Identified worms are Ascaris suum, Strongyloides ransomii, Trichuris suis, and Strongyle types. Most pigs have mixed infections.

Technology Mitigation of Pigs Parasites Contamination Using Laleken and Free-Range Systems Applied by Highland Farmers

“…Besides being influenced by the number of parasitic eggs in faecal EPG, the prevalence of water pollution contamination is thought to be influenced by the survival ability of an egg in water (Lindgren et al, 2020;Widayati et al, 2020;Kim et al, 2012;Baies et al, 2022;Kochanowski et al, 2017;Pittman et al, 2015). This can be seen in the Ascaris spp species where the number of parasitic eggs in the polluted faeces EPG is lower than the number of eggs of the polluting parasite Trichuris spp, but has a higher prevalence.…”

The Body Condition Score of Pigs Infected With Gastrointestinal Parasites In Dogiyai District, Papua Province, Indonesia

“…Berdasarkan morfologi, jenis telur cacing yang teridenti kasi pada penelitian ini mirip dengan (Widayati et al, 2020) yang menemukan empat jenis telur cacing hasil pemeriksaan feses babi yang berasal dari Kabupaten Jayawijaya dan Paniai, yaitu Ascaris suum, Strongyloides ransomi, Trichuris suis dan telur cacing tipe Strongylus. Keempat jenis nematoda tersebut umum menginfeksi babi di Indonesia (Yesenia et al, 2017;Ully et al, 2020;Widisuputri et al, 2020).…”

Sosialisasi Cemaran Babi sebagai Persiapan Sertifikasi Halal pada Warung Makan di Kartasura

“…Manusia yang mengkonsumsi daging babi yang kurang matang atau mentah dapat menjadi perantara siklus hidup cacing pita (Supriadi & Muslihin, 2014); (Suriawanto et al, 2014). Beberapa contoh cacing pita yang menjadi parasite dalam tubuh babi yaitu Taenia solium, Ascaris suum (Yesenia dkk, 2017), Trichuris suis (Fendriyanto, Dwinata, Oka, & Agustina, 2015); (Yoseph, Dwinata, & Oka, 2018); (Widayati, Rahayu, & Degei, 2020) Strongyliodes ransomi, Trichinella spiralis, Trichostrongylus axei, Globocephalus sp (Guna, 2014); (Widayati et al, 2020). (b) Babi dapat menjadi inang dari virus influenza A atau disebut virus flu babi (H1N1) yang menyebabkan penyakit pernapasan akut.…”
