The infestation of Strongylus sp. in horses can cause losses to horse breeders, including anorexia, anemia, gastrointestinal diseases and can cause death and decrease the horse population in DIY. Albendazole was a Benzimidazole preparation that is often used to treat worms in ruminants. This study also aims to determine the effect of Albendazole on blood images before and after treatment. The material used in this study were 10 horses with male and female sex, over 3 years old, and infected with Strongylus sp. with an infestation rate of 200 EPG in faeces. Before treatment of drug was carried out, the faeces was examined with Mc Master method. After treatment with Albendazole, the worm eggs were examined three times at intervals of three days. Routine examination of worm eggs and blood was carried out at the Laboratory of the Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada. The results showed that the EPG number decreased from the 0th, 3rd, 6th and 9th day of examinations. The average number of EPG on the 0th day was 990 eggs/gram, and the examination on the 9th day showed the number of eggs was 0 eggs/gram. The results of the hematology examination also showed no significant difference except for the high number of eosinophils on the 12th day after drug administration. The conclusion from this research is that Albendazole as a worm medicine can kill Srongylus sp. however, it does not affect the horse's hematology and health status.
Kajian kasus ini ditujukan untuk mengungkap fenomena klinis dan reproduktif yang dialami 5 ekor kambing Bligon betina umur 2-3 tahun yang dipelihara oleh petani di Yogyakarta. Menurut informasi dari pemilik, kambing mengalami kekurusan dan tidak pernah menunjukkan gejala berahi. Hewan sudah diobati dengan ivermectin secara berkala. Pada hewan tersebut selanjutnya dilakukan kajian manajemen pemeliharaan serta observasi dan pemeriksan klinis (pemeriksaan fisik, uii berahi, pemeriksaan sitologi vagina terhadap organ reproduksi)dalam kurun waktu sekitar 60 hari (akhir Juli- awal September 2019). Pada akhir periode observasi hewan diberi perlakuan gertak berahi dengan pemberian injeksi PGF2-alfa dua kali dengan selang 11 hari dan pemeriksaan USG. Hasil pemeriksaan klini hewan tidak bunting, tidak ditemukan adanya ekto dan endoparasit, tidak ditemukan adanya perubahan fisik, dan tanda-tanda penyakit infeksi. Selama masa pengamatan hewan mendapat pakan berupa jerami kangkung pada level sekitar 2% bobot badan, pertambahan bobot badan harian yang negatif atau rendah, BCS buruk (1-1,5 dalam skala 1-5), tidak ditemukan berahi, gambaran sitologi bagina didominasi sel parabasal dan transisional, respon terhadap pemberian preparat PGF2-alfa tidak menunjukkan adanya perubahan fisik alat kelamin, perilaku berahi, dan gambaran sitologi apus vagina. Hasil pemeriksaan USG tidak menunjukkan adanya status ovarium yang aktif. Hewan didiagnosa mengalami Undernutrition dan anestrus. Berdasarkan pemeriksaan fisik dan pendukung dapat disimpulkan faktor lingkungan berupa asupan pakan yang rendah dan kondisi tubuh yang buruk berpotensi mengakibatkan gangguan reproduksi pada kambing Bligon betina di masa usia produktif.
