Risk Factors and Prevalence of Toxocara vitulorum Infection in Beef Cattle in Kasiman Subdistrict, the Regency of Bojonegoro

Abstract

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilaksanakan untuk mengetahui keberadaan toxocariosis pada sapi potong di Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SPR) Kasiman Bojonegoro serta mengidentifikasi beberapa faktor risiko yang mungkin berperan dalam tingkat prevalensi dan intensitas infeksi. Sebanyak 263 ekor sapi berbeda umur dan jenis kelamin diambil sampel feses dan sebanyak 80 peternak diwawancarai. Prevalensi toxocariosis sapi di SPR Kasiman sebesar 5,32 (CI 95 = 2,618,04). Variabel umur dan jenis kelamin menunjukkan pengaruh terhadap risiko infeksi. Prevalensi cenderung menurun berdasarkan kelompok umur (berbeda nyata, p<0,001), yaitu kelompok pedet (23,68), anak (7,41), muda (2,04), dan dewasa (1,34). Prevalensi pada kelompok jantan sebesar 12,7 dan betina 3,0 (berbeda nyata, p=0,003). Namun analisis regresi logistik menemukan hanya umur yang memengaruhi angka infeksi dengan model matematis toxocariosis di SPR Kasiman adalah Logit toxocariosis = -0,058 -1.098 umur.

The experiment were done to identify several risk factors that may play certain roles on the degree of prevalence and infection intensity. A total of 263 head of local beef cattle with various ages were taken for faecal samples and 80 farmers were interviewed. Results of the experiment indicated the prevalence of toxocariosis was 5.32 (CI 95 = 2.618.04) influenced by age and gender which showed an effect on the risk of infection. The prevalence tends to decline by age group (p <0.001): calves under 6 months of age (23.68), and between 612 months of age (7.41), 12 years old calves (2.04) and the above 2 years adults (1.34). The prevalence is higher in the males group (12.7) compared to the females group (3.0), (p=0.003). Logistic regression analysis concluded that age was the only affecting variable to the rate of infection with mathematical models for toxocariosis. Logit toxocariosis = -0.058 -1.098 age.

Data Sensus Pertanian 2013 menunjukkan adanya penurunan populasi sapi dan kerbau di berbagai provinsi, termasuk Provinsi Jawa Timur. Populasi sapi dan kerbau di Jawa Timur turun 24, yaitu dari 5,06 juta ekor pada 2011 menjadi 3,83 juta ekor pada 2013 (BPS Jatim 2013).Kabupaten Bojonegoro bukan penyumbang populasi sapi terbesar di Jawa Timur, dan telah mengalami penurunan populasi 24,46 selama dua tahun tersebut. Ada niat positif pemerintah daerah untuk mengembangkan peternakan sapi potong dengan membentuk Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SPR) yang dirintis di tiga kecamatan. Demi menunjang keberhasilan program tersebut, perhatian ditujukan pula pada masalah umum peternakan ...

Identification and Distribution of Soil Transmitted Helminths around The Shed and Grazing Fields of Madura Cattle in Sub-District of Geger, Bangkalan Regency

“…This is because the largest cattle population in Kompol Village are female cows and calves. According to Winarso et al (2015) T. vitulorum infection in calves was 23.68% compared to adult cattle by 1.34%, the decline in prevalence of the older age group of cattle was caused by at least three causes, namely the cessation of new transmammary infections in calves a few days after birth, death adult worms, and increased immunity of the animal (host). The female parent is a host for hypobiosis larvae, namely Toxocara sp.…”
