ABSTRAK
Infeksi yang disebabkan oleh cacing dalam bahasa kedokteran dikenal dengan istilah helmintiasis yaitu penyakit yang disebabkan oleh infestasi cacing yang berada dalam tubuh hewan. Helmintiasis dapat menyebabkan seekor hewan mengalami penurunan berat badan, bulu kusam, anemia, serta gangguan pertumbuhan/reproduksi. Helmintiasis juga sering ditemukan hampir diseluruh bagian tubuh hewan. Jenis cacing yang umumnya menyerang ternak sapi yaitu dari kelas Nematoda, Trematoda dan Cestoda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat perbedaan ragam infeksi cacing pada sapi aceh di daerah pegunungan dan pesisir pantai dan juga untuk melihat ada tidaknya hubungan antara dua daerah tersebut pada infeksi helmintiasis. Penelitian ini menggunakan 98 sampel feses sapi aceh, 49 sampel feses diambil di daerah pegunungan dan 49 lagi diambil di daerah pesisir pantai secara acak lalu dihomogenkan dengan larutan formalin 10% 1:1 kemudian dibawa ke Laboraturium Parasitologi Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Universitas Syiah Kuala untuk dilakukan pemeriksaan. Pemeriksaan sampel feses sapi Aceh ini menggunakan metode Flotasi, metode Mc Master dan metode Sedimentasi Borray serta menggunakan uji Chi-Square untuk melihat perbedaan infestasi helmintiasis pada dua daerah yang berbeda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 75% sapi di kedua daerah tersebut positif terinfeksi cacing parasit gastrointestinal. 33 Sampel feses di daerah pegunungan terinfeksi dengan prevalensi sebesar 67,34% dan 41sampel feses di daerah pesisir pantai terinfeksi cacing dengan prevalensi sebesar 83,67%. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa sapi di daerah pesisir lebih banyak terinfestasi cacing parasit intestinal.

ABSTRACT Infections caused by worms in medical language are known as helmintiasis, which is a disease caused by worm infestations in the animal's body. Helmintiasis can cause an animal to experience weight loss, dull fur, anemia, and growth/reproductive disorders. Helmintiasis is also often found in almost all parts of the animal's body. The types of worms that generally attack cattle are from the classes Nematode, Trematode and Cestode. This study aims to see the differences between the variety of helminth infections in aceh cattle in the mountainous and coastal areas and also to see whether there is a relationship between the two areas in helmintiasis infection. This study used 98 samples of aceh cattle feces, 49 samples of feces were taken in mountainous areas and another 49 were taken randomly in coastal areas and then homogenized with a 10% 1:1 formalin solution then taken to the Parasitology Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Syiah Kuala University for examination. . The examination of Aceh cattle feces samples used the Flotation method, the Mc Master method and the Borray Sedimentation method and used the Chi-Square test to see differences in helmintiasis infestation in two different areas. The results showed that 75% of cattle in both areas were positively infected with gastrointestinal parasitic worms. 33 Faecal samples in mountainous areas were infected with a prevalence of 67.34% and 41samples of feces in coastal areas were infected with worms with a prevalence of 83.67%. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that cattle in coastal areas are more infested with intestinal parasitic worms.
