Rearing systems related to gastrointestinal parasites in goats from selected area in Terengganu
This study was the first attempt to compare the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in goats in three different rearing systems.

| Summary: | This study was the first attempt to compare the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites in goats in three different rearing systems. A total of 287 fecal samples were randomly collected from goats in three farms in Terengganu, Malaysia. The samples were processed by using sodium chloride floatation method and observed microscopically. Out of 287 goats, 280 (97.6%) were infected with gastrointestinal parasites. Goats reared under the intensive rearing system reported the highest prevalence of infection (99%), followed by extensive rearing system (98.3%) and the lowest prevalence was reported in the goats reared under the semi-intensive rearing system (96%). The following gastrointestinal parasites were identified in goats in accordance of predominant: Eimeria spp. (89.2%), Strongyloides spp. (45.6%), Strongyle spp. (20.6 %), Moniezia spp. (13.9%) and Trichuris spp. (8.4). Three species showed predominant in goats under the semi- intensive rearing system were Strongyle spp., Strongyloides spp., and Trichuris spp. with the percentage of 33.1%, 83.1% and 10.5%, respectively. Moniezia spp. was the highest in goats under the extensive rearing system which occurred at 26.7%, whereby Eimeria spp. was predominant under intensive rearing system with the infection rate of 99%. The finding suggested that the rearing system might not influence the occurrence of GI parasites in goats. Further study should be conducted to validate this finding.
Kajian ini merupakan kajian buat pertama kalinya bagi membandingkan prevalens parasit gastrousus yang diasingkan
daripada kambing di bawah tiga sistem penternakan yang berbeza. Sebanyak 287 sampel tinja secara rawak telah diambil
daripada tiga ladang kambing di Terengganu, Malaysia. Sampel telah diproses dengan menggunakan kaedah
pengapungan natrium klorida dan diperhatikan secara mikroskopik. Daripada 287 kambing, 280 (97.6%) telah dijangkiti
parasit gastrousus. Kambing dipelihara di bawah sistem penternakan intensif mencatatkan prevalens tertinggi jangkitan
(99%), diikuti oleh sistem penternakan ekstensif (98.3%) dan prevalens yang paling rendah dilaporkan di dalam kambing yang
dipelihara di bawah sistem penternakan separa intensif (96%). Parasit gastrousus berikut telah dikenal pasti di dalam kambing
mengikut keutamaan: Eimeria spp. (89.2%), Strongyloides spp. (45.6%), Strongyle spp. (20.6%), Moniezia spp. (13.9%) dan
Trichuris spp. (8.4%). Tiga spesies yang menunjukkan jangkitan paling tinggi di dalam kambing di bawah sistem penternakan
separa intensif adalah Strongyle spp., Strongyloides spp., dan Trichuris spp. dengan peratusan 33.1%, 83.1% dan 10.5%,
masing-masing. Moniezia spp. adalah yang tertinggi di dalam kambing di bawah sistem penternakan ekstensif yang berlaku
pada 26.7%, di mana Eimeria spp. dijumpai tertinggi di bawah sistem penternakan intensif dengan kadar jangkitan sebanyak
99%. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa sistem penternakan mungkin tidak mempengaruhi berlakunya jangkitan parasit
gastrousus di dalam kambing. Kajian lanjut perlu dijalankan untuk mengesahkan penemuan ini. |
