“…Fascioliasis, commonly known as distomatosis or liver fluke illness, is a parasitic disease caused by the genus Fasciola [1]. It is one of the most prevalent and economically significant parasitic illnesses of domestic animals, particularly cattle, sheep, goats, and man [2]. The illness is a major source of significant economic losses (direct or indirect) in the cattle business, primarily via mortality, liver condemnation, reduced milk and meat output, and anthelmintic expense [2].…”

Fascioliasis is one of the most prevalent and economically significant parasitic illnesses of domestic animals, particularly cattle, sheep, goats, and man. It is particularly widespread in countries with heavy cattle production especially places with low interest in vector-related diseases. Therefore, the study was designed to investigate the prevalence of this parasitic disease among the cattle slaughtered in the selected abattoirs in Oyo, Oyo State, Nigeria. Two hundred and fifty (250) faecal samples were collected from the rectum of the slaughtered cattle. The samples were analyzed using the Formol-ether Concentration technique. Also, post mortem examination of the liver and other organs of the slaughtered cattle (250) at the abbattior were also examined for Fasciola infestation. The data were were analyzed with Chi-square at 5% level of significance using SPSS. It was observed that 77 (30.8%) were positive to fascioliasis out of the 250 slaughtered cattle examined. The prevalence of the infection based on the sex of the cattle was found to be statistically significant (p = 0.001).The percentage of fascioliasis depending on the breed of the cattle was observed to be lowest (25%) in Sokoto Gudali and highest (33.33%) in White Fulani. The analysis implied that there was a strong association between infection and cattle breeds. Prevalence of fascioliasis based on the estimated age of animals was not statistically significant however; animals aged 3 years and 6 months had the highest percentage (54.1%) while those within 2 years and 6 months had no cases of fascioliasis. Fascioliasis is an endemic illness in the study area among cattle slaughtered for consumption. This suggests the possibility of human infestation through consumption especially when it is under-processed. The need for health policy to ensure slaughtering of healthy cattle become important to ensure safe public health especially through consumption of meat. Also, public health intervention through mass vaccination of cattle, education of cattle farmers and introduction of veterinary inspectors at the point of slaughter is important in controlling Fascioliasis.

“…Ternak sapi dengan body condition scores (BCS) rendah dan berumur dewasa memiliki risiko lebih tinggi terinfeksi trematoda daripada ternak dengan BCS yang bagus dan berumur muda (Lakew dan Alebie, 2015;Shinggu et al, 2019). Kejadian fasciolosis pada sapi berasosiasi dengan breed dari ternak (Birhan et al, 2019) serta jenis kelamin (Petros et al, 2013). Prevalensi paramphistomiasis pada ternak dipengaruhi beberapa faktor seperti umur ternak, jenis kelamin, jenis ternak, pemberian anthelmintik, dan manajemen pemeliharaan ternak (Raza et al, 2009).…”

Trematodosis merupakan salah satu penyakit yang disebabkan oleh cacing parasit kelompok trematoda dan distribusinya tersebar luas pada peternakan dan ternak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui prevalensi, distribusi dan faktor risiko trematodosis pada ternak sapi yang dipotong di Rumah Potong Hewan, Kabupaten Manokwari, Provinsi Papua Barat. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret sampai Mei 2018. Sampel feses segar sebanyak 99 diambil per rektal pada sapi yang masuk di RPH Manokwari secara purposive sampling. Sampel diperiksa dengan metode modifikasi filtrasi dan sedimentasi untuk mengidentifikasi keberadaan telur trematoda berdasarkan morfologinya. Prevalensi trematodosis diperoleh dengan menganalisis data secara univariat, dan analisis bivariat digunakan untuk menguji faktor risiko trematodosis dengan uji chi-square (χ2) dan odds ratio (OR). Prevalensi trematodosis pada sapi yang disembelih di RPH Manokwari secara keseluruhan sebesar 52,53%, dengan jenis trematoda yang ditemukan 34,34% Fasciola spp., dan 42,42% Paramphistomum spp. Faktor predisposisi seperti jenis kelamin dan musim tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap prevalensi trematodosis pada sapi yang disembelih di RPH Manokwari (P>0.05). Namun, secara statistika, faktor umur ternak menunjukkan pengaruh yang nyata (P<0.05) terhadap risiko trematodosis dengan nilai OR 2,966. Faktor risiko yang berperan dalam kejadian trematodosis adalah umur ternak di atas dua tahun.
