This study was carried out to assess the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode in cattle in the Pintu Rime Gayo, a highland sub district of Bener Meriah Regency, Aceh according to age and sex. Stool samples were collected from 150 cattle aged 0-6, 7-12 and >12 months old. Examination was performed by using a centrifuge. Samples tested positive when found gastrointestinal nematode parasite eggs. The data obtained were analyzed with Chi-Square. The results showed that the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode in cattle aged 0-7 months (32%) was significantly higher (p<0.05) than that in cattle aged 7-12 months (22%) and >12 months (12%). The parasite was markedly more prevalent (p<0.05) in female cattle (23.9%) than that in male cattle (15.2%). In conclusion, susceptibility of cattle in the Pintu Rime Gayo highland to gastrointestinal nematode infection was influenced by both age and sex.

This survey study was aimed to determine the prevalance of nematodosis and intensity on the Crossbreed Horse in Detasemen Kaveleri Berkuda Parongpong Bandung West Java. The benefits of this research are to contribute giving additional information about Prevalence, Intensity, and Relation among prevalance with age, sex, and stable. Fecal samples were tested by native, sedimentation, and floatation methods. The examination was found some kind of worm eggs, which are: Trychonema sp., Strongylus spp., Dictyocaulus arnfieldi (lung worm). The result showed that the prevalence of nematodosis was 12.03%. in the calculation of worm eggs per gram feces of Crossbreed Horse in Detasemen Kaveleri Berkuda that have relatively moderate infection were 1123EPG and result analyze with ANOVA showed no real different with function of horse. The result of statistical analysis using Chi-Square test showed no significant differences in prevalence with age and sex (p>0.05). the result of statistical using Chi-Square test showed significant differences in prevalence with stable in Detasemen Kaveleri Berkuda (p<0.05).

Aim This study was devised to be conducted to determine the prevalence and identify the major gastrointestinal nematode parasites based on fecal examination. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence and associated factors with ovine gastrointestinal nematode infestation by fecal examination of 384 sheep from Wayu Tuka and Diga district, Eastern Oromia regional state. Results Out of the total 384 sampled sheep, 169 (44.0%) had been infected with gastrointestinal nematode parasite. Haemonchus species were the most frequently (20.8%) recovered nematode eggs followed by Trichostrongylus (13.0%) and Nematodirus (10.2%). There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in prevalence between age groups and sex. Sheep with poor body condition had a significantly higher prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode parasite (p<0.05) than those sheep in moderate or good body condition. There was no significant association between the gastrointestinal nematode infection in animals of different ages and sex groups. Conclusion The study shows that the gastrointestinal nematode parasite was a major important health problem and impact on the production of sheep in the study area. Therefore, a detailed study should be conducted to identify the parasite at the species level and special consideration should be taken on the management of sheep in poor body condition to reduce the burden of gastrointestinal nematodes.
