Penyakit pada hewan umumnya terbagi menjadi penyakit infeksius dan penyakit noninfeksius. Salah satu agen infeksi pada penyakit infeksius yaitu parasit. Parasit yang umum
menyerang hewan yaitu parasit gastrointestinal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui parasit
gastrointestinal yang menginfeksi ayam petelur (Gallus domesticus) di Peternakan Aguan Binjai
Sumatera Utara. Sampel pada penelitian ini menggunakan sampel feses segar 83 individu dari 500
populasi ayam petelur. Sampel fese dikoleksi saat pagi hari dan ditambahkan formalin 10% dengan
perbandingan 1:1 dan dimasukkan kedalam icebox, kemudian sampel dibawa ke Laboratorium
Parasitologi Universitas Syiah Kuala untuk dilakukan pemeriksaan. Pemeriksaan sampel dilakukan
dengan metode sentrifugasi, sedimentasi, Formol-eter dan Ziehl neelsen. Data yang didapat
dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 4 ayam petelur positif terinfeksi parasit
gastrointestinal. Parasit yang menginfeksi berasal dari golongan nematoda, trematoda, dan protozoa.
Prevalensi golongan nematoda yaitu Ascaridia galli (2,4%); golongan trematoda yaitu Echinostoma
sp. (1,2%); dan protozoa yaitu Eimeria sp. (1,2%). Dapat disimpulkan ayam petelur di Peternakan
masyarakat Desa Tanah Merah terinfeksi parasit dari golongan nematoda, trematoda dan protozoa.

ABSTRACT Diseases in animals are generally divided into infectious diseases and non-infectious diseases. One of the infectious agents in infectious diseases is parasites. Parasites that commonly attack animals are gastrointestinal parasites. This study aims to determine the gastrointestinal parasites that infect laying hens (Gallus domesticus) at the community farm in Tanah Merah village Binjai North Sumatra. The samples in this study used fresh fecal samples from 83 individuals from a population of 500 laying hens. Stool samples were collected in the morning and 10% formalin was added in a ratio of 1:1 and put into an icebox, then the samples were taken to the Parasitology Laboratory of Syiah Kuala University for examination. Sample examination was carried out using centrifugation, sedimentation, Formol-ether and Ziehl Neelsen methods. The data obtained was analyzed descriptively. The results showed that 4 laying hens were positively infected with gastrointestinal parasites. The parasites that infect come from the nematode, trematode and protozoa groups. The prevalence of nematode groups is Ascaridia galli (2.4%); the trematode group is Echinostoma sp. (1.2%); and protozoa, namely Eimeria sp. (1.2%). It can be concluded that laying hens in the Tanah Merah village community farms are infected with parasites from the nematode, trematode and protozoa groups.
