Aim:Haemonchus contortus is the most pathogenic nematode infesting the digestive tract of goats and sheep worldwide leading to a tremendous loss in a variety of routes. Economic losses due to haemonchosis in subtropic and tropic areas are usually caused by poor weight gain, minimized growth, loss of production, and mortality. The prevalence of haemonchosis in Indonesia is 89.4% in goat, and annual loss achieved 1 million US dollars. This study evaluated in vitro effects of Gigantochloa apus crude aqueous extract as an anthelmintic on H. contortus morphology and morphometry.Materials and Methods:Bligon goats which are naturally infected were collected from slaughtered goat from local slaughterhouses, namely Besi Sleman. Bligon goat’s abomasum part was carefully examined and transported to the Parasitology Laboratory, University of Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. H. contortus was obtained from 4 to 6-month-old female goat from slaughterhouses in Yogyakarta area. H. contortus was collected from abomasum and put into a Petri dish containing 0.62% water saline. The number of H. contortus used for each concentration is 25. H. contortus was soaked in each concentration for 4 h. The figure of the parasites or parts of parasites was captured using camera Lucida, and they were measured using both objective micrometer and objective ocular micrometer. All the capturing processes were done with the help of Olympus Digital Camera under Olympus CX21 microscopic. Parasite morphology was identified in morphological and morphometric characters.Result:Morphology of H. contortus revealed the cervical papillae bulge appears unclear shape and anterior end is more tapered. Vulvar flab control is not tapered, but vulvar flab which gets aware of G. apus crude aqueous extract looks more pointed. The gubernaculum appears irregular compared to gubernaculum control which tends to be more compact, and the posterior end form appears irregular more than posterior end control. Morphometry study of H. contortus indicates that it has a significant difference for body length, body width, cervical papillae, and spicule length in the male.Conclusion:G. apus crude aqueous extract activity revealed morphology change such as cervical papillae, vulvar flab, gubernaculum, posterior end, and reduced morphometry measurement of H. contortus adult worms, notably in body length, body width, cervical papillae width, gubernaculum, and spicule length in males and body length, body width, cervical papillae width, and vulva length in females.

Haemonchosis is a parasitic disease that often occurs in goats in Indonesia. In sub-tropical and tropical areas, the mortality, decreased production, stunted growth, and low weight gain due to haemonchosis have substantial economic impacts. Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is recognized as a plant that has the potential for anthelmintic activity because its leaves contain tannins. The aim of this study was to determine the in vitro effects of a crude aqueous extract of jackfruit leaves on the parasitic worm Haemonchus contortus. Six groups of 10 adult worms were immersed in different doses (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1%) of a jackfruit leaf extract or in albendazole (positive control) and assessed five times or as five replications every hour for up to 4 hours. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze worm mortality rates at the various treatment doses and observation times, while one way ANOVA was used to analyze the differences in worm morphometry. The jackfruit extract at various doses and observation times had a significant effect on worm mortality and altered the worm morphometry, especially the male and female body length, cervical papilla width, spicula length in males, and vulva flap length in females. A 1% dose of jackfruit leaf extract caused the greatest worm mortality. The in vitro worm mortality and morphometry examinations support the use of Artocarpus heterophyllus aqueous crude leaf extracts as potential anthelmintics against Haemonchus contortus.

This present project was carried out to determine the effect of apus bamboo (Gigantochloaapus )leaves infusion to mortality rate and morphometry of Haemonchus contortus adult worms in vitro. The formulated tools were collected through camera, 3 ml syringe, object glass, deck glass, mortar, drip dropper, waterbath, microscope, stopwatch, counter check, oven, erlenmeyer flask, electric scale, surgical scissor, and pipette. The allocated materials used in this studywere bamboo leaves infusion, Haemonchus contortus adult worms, aquadestilata, ethanol and NaCl 0.62%. The research was firstly concernedwith making 0.1% and 1% apus bamboo leaves infusion. The samples were obtained from Haemonchus contortus collection. Adult worms were obtained directly from abomasum of naturally infected goats that were cut at Animal Slaughter House (RPH). To investigate the matter, mortality rates of adult worms at various doses and times of observation as well as differences in Haemonchus contortus morphometry were analyzed using ANOVA. The findings disclosed that apus bamboo leaves infusion demonstrated a significant difference in the mortality rate of adult worms Haemonchus contortusat various doses and times of observation. This report presented the findings of research that the best dose to increase the mortality of worms was 1% bamboo leaves infusion. Moreover, apus bamboo leaves infusion affected the morphometry of Haemonchus contortus adult worms, especially in body length, cervical papilla width, and spicules length in males, and body length, cervical papilla width, and vulvar length in females.

The study was carried out in Banter Hamlet, Gumelem Village, Pakis District, Magelang District. The purpose is to determine the farmers' perceptions about the prevention of Haemonchosis using jackfruit leaves powder and to determine the effect of the counseling intensity and the knowledge level of farmers on farmers' perceptions. A sampling of 32 breeders from Ngudi Rejeki 1 Farmer Group was carried out using census method. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation and interview methods. This study was conducted by descriptive analysis using Likert scale to determine the perception level and path analysis to see the perception effect as an endogenous variable with the counseling intensity and knowledge level as exogenous variables. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the descriptive analysis shows farmers' perceptions about the prevention of Haemonchosis using jackfruit leaves powder is in the agree category. The path analysis shows that the counseling intensity does not have a direct effect on perceptions while indirectly from the counseling intensity through the knowledge level significantly influence the perception, so that the knowledge can be said to mediate the counseling intensity on the perception.

This study was conducted to determine the response of farmers to the prevention and treatment gastrointestine worm disease in goats and know factors that influencing farmer response Tools and materials used are stationery, questioner, folder, worm drug and vitamin of B complex. The respondents were  30 people. Data was taken from pre-test and post-test by conducting direct interview regarding prevention and treatment gastrointestine worm disease in goat by using questioner. Based on the regression analysis obtained by multiple linear equations as follows: Y = 28.946 + 5.084X1 - 0,215X2 + 0,171X3+ 0,548X4 + e. From model of regresion above, it can be intepreted that each increase in the vallue of X1 (education) equal to 1 % will add respon equal to 5.084, each increase in the value of X2 (age) by 1 % will reduce the respon by 0.215, each increase of value of X3 (experience of farming) by 1 % will add value of respon equal to 0.171, and each increase of value of X4 (amount of the ownership of livestock) by 1 % will add value of 0.548. This study concluded that there was an increase in knowledge aspects of 14.87 with EP 82.6% and EPP 77.36%, attitude aspects amounting to 10.47 with EP 90.88% and EPP 82.12% and skills aspects of 5.1 with EP 86.6% and EPP 79.19% and an increase in response value from aspects of knowledge, attitudes, and skills of 30.39%, namely from a low response to a high response to the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal worm disease in goats. Education is the most significant factor that has a very significant effect of (P 1 ≤0.01) on the farmer response average.  Keywords: prevention, treatment, gastrointestine worm, goat, response
