In developing countries such as Indonesia, the health of small ruminants such as goats is not given much attention because the medical costs are very high, it causing a farmer to prefer to sell their livestock, even though at relatively low prices if there are signs of infection, one of which is due to parasitic diseases. This research was carried out in the village of Rajabasa Lama. The study was conducted using a descriptive method by collecting feces from the goat pens in that area using native methode and sugar floatation method Furthermore, the examination was carried out using a native test and fecal floating examination using a fluid sugar medium. The results of the examination of gastrointestinal tract parasites that were found included parasites from the protozoan Entamoeba sp. and Eimeria sp. and also parasites from the Trematoda family, the eggs of the worm Fasciola sp.. Eimeria sp. is a parasite that quite often infects ruminants, including goats. This study showed that goats in Rajabasa Lama Village had gastrointestinal parasite infections including Eimeria sp., Entamoeba sp., Fasciola sp. worm eggs, and Trichuris sp. eggs.

Samples were taken at 07.00 PM. The research was conducted in the Disease Investigation Center of Lampung. The parameter of this research was Total Plate Count (TPC), coliform dan Escherichia coli. Total Plate Count (TPC) analysis in goat meat samples showed the highest contamination was from Tugu Market at 2.90 × 105 cfu/gr. Followed by Tamin Market at 1.30 × 105 cfu/gr and the lowest was from Koga Market, Bambu Kuning Market and Way Kandis Market at 1.00 × 101 cfu/gr respectively. Meanwhile, the highest coliform contamination was found from the goat meat sample from Tugu Market and Tamin Market at 11.00 × 102 cfu/gr. Followed by Way Kandis Market at 2.4 × 102 mpn/gr, and the lowest coliform contamination was found in goat meat sample from Koga Market and Bambu Kuning Market at 9.30 × 101 cfu/gr and 0.36 × 101 cfu/gr respectively. Furthermore, the content of Escherichia coli contamination from all traditional markets was below <101.
