IDENTIFIKASI CACING PARASIT GASTROINTESTINAL PADA HARIMAU SUMATERA (Panthera tigris sumatrae), SINGA (Panthera leo), DAN MACAN DAHAN (Neofelis diardi) DI TAMAN MARGA SATWA BUDAYA KINANTAN BUKITTINGGI


ABSTRAK


Penyakit cacingan merupakan salah satu penyakit parasiter yang sering dijumpai pada kucing (family Felidae) termasuk harimau sumatera (Panthera tigris sumatrae), singa (Panthera leo), dan macan dahan (Neofelis diardi), yang disebabkan oleh cacing parasit saluran pencernaan (parasit gastrointestinal). Informasi mengenai cacing parasit gastrointestinal pada harimau sumatera (Panthera tigris sumatrae), singa (Panthera leo), dan macan dahan (Neofelis diardi) di Taman Marga Satwa Budaya Kinantan Bukittinggi, sampai saat ini belum ada dipublikasikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengindentifikasi jenis-jenis cacing parasit gastrointestinal yang ada pada harimau sumatera (Panthera tigris sumatrae), singa (Panthera leo), dan macan dahan (Neofelis diardi) di Taman Marga Satwa Budaya Kinantan Bukittinggi. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel feses dari 8 ekor harimau sumatera (Panthera tigris sumatrae), 3 ekor singa (Panthera leo), dan 4 ekor macan dahan (Neofelis diardi). Sampel feses diambil pada pagi hari dan dimasukan ke dalam plastik bening kemudian diberi identitas untuk masing-masing sampel. Sampel disimpan sementara dan dibawa dengan menggunakan ice box yang telah berisi ice packs ke Laboratorium Parasitologi, Balai Veteriner Bukittinggi untuk dipindahkan ke dalam lemari pendingin, dan selanjutnya diperiksa dengan menggunakan metode sentrifus, metode McMaster, dan metode sedimentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa harimau sumatera (Panthera tigris sumatrae), singa (Panthera leo), dan macan dahan (Neofelis diardi) di Taman Marga Satwa Budaya Kinantan Bukittinggi terinfestasi tiga jenis cacing yang berbeda, diantaranya yaitu cacing jenis Toxocara spp., Ancylostoma spp., dan Uncinaria spp. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa harimau sumatera (Panthera tigris sumatrae), singa (Panthera leo), dan macan dahan (Neofelis diardi) terinfestasi cacing kait parasit gastrointestinal

IDENTIFICATION OF GASTROINTESTINAL WORMS PARASITE OF SUMATRAN TIGERS (Panthera tigris sumatrae), LIONS (Panthera leo), AND CLOUDED LEOPARDS (Neofelis diardi) IN TAMAN MARGA SATWA BUDAYA KINANTAN BUKITTINGGI


ABSTRACT


Gastrointestinal parasitic diseases caused by worms are often found in cats (family Felidae) including Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae), lions (Panthera leo), and clouded leopards (Neofelis diardi), caused by intestinal parasitic worms (gastrointestinal parasites). Information on gastrointestinal parasitic worms in Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae), lions (Panthera leo), and clouded leopards (Neofelis diardi) in the wildlife park and kinantan culture Bukittinggi, has not been published yet. This study aims to identify the types of gastrointestinal parasitic worms that exist in Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae), lions (Panthera leo), and clouded leopards (Neofelis diardi) in the wildlife park and kinantan culture Bukittinggi. This study used faecal samples from 8 Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae), 3 lions (Panthera leo), and 4 clouded leopards (Neofelis diardi). Stool samples are taken in the morning and put into clear plastic and then given an identity for each sample. Samples are temporarily stored and brought using ice boxes that have been filled with ice packs to the Parasitology Laboratory, Bukittinggi Veterinary Institute to be transferred to the refrigerator, and then examined using the centrifuge, McMaster and sedimentation methods. The results showed that Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae), lions (Panthera leo), and clouded leopards (Neofelis diardi) in wildlife park and kinantan culture Bukittinggi were infested with three different parasitic worms, including worms Toxocara spp., Ancylostoma spp., and Uncinaria spp. It can be concluded that Sumatran tigers (Panthera tigris sumatrae), lions (Panthera leo), and clouded leopards (Neofelis diardi) were infested with gastrointestinal hookworms.
