This study aimed to describe the gastrointestinal protozoa in Madura cattle at Bangkalan Regency, East Java, Indonesia.
A total of 500 samples of Madura cattle feces were collected from 10 districts at Bangkalan Regency. Those ten districts represent the lowland and upland areas, and each district was represented by one village. The collected feces were examined using native, sedimentation, and floating methods. The species identification was determined by their morphology.
There were 357 (71.4%) samples positively infected with protozoan. The highest rate of sample with protozoan infection was at Kamal District (88.23%), and Bangkalan District (52.83%) was the lowest one. There were six species of protozoa that infected gastrointestinal tract; those are spp., spp., spp., spp., spp., and spp. The highest number of protozoa found in this research was (53.42%) followed by (14.43%). In this study, we found that 295 samples (58.76%) infected by one kind of protozoa, 53 samples (10.56%) infected by two kinds of protozoa, and 11 samples (2.19%) infected by three kinds of protozoa. In addition, there were 65.54% of bulls infected with protozoa, considerably lower than cows (72.97%). Cattle aged 6 months-2 years old (73.39%) and >2 years old (71.25%) are known more prone to protozoan infections than cattle aged <6 months (66.15%).
The present study revealed that protozoan infection of cattle is common in Bangkalan Regency. Studies focused on determining that the prevalence of protozoan, risk factors for the parasitism, and the geographic distribution are needed and will be effective guide for prevention and control measures.
本研究旨在描述印度尼西亚东爪哇省班卡兰县马都拉牛的胃肠道原生动物。
从班卡兰县的10个区收集了总共500份马都拉牛粪样本。这10个区代表低地和高地地区，每个区由一个村庄代表。收集的粪便采用直接涂片、沉淀和漂浮法进行检查。通过形态学确定物种鉴定。
有357份（71.4%）样本被原生动物阳性感染。原生动物感染样本率最高的是卡迈勒区（88.23%），最低的是班卡兰区（52.83%）。有六种原生动物感染胃肠道；它们是 属、 属、 属、 属、 属和 属。本研究中发现的原生动物数量最多的是 （53.42%），其次是 （14.43%）。在本研究中，我们发现295份样本（58.76%）感染了一种原生动物，53份样本（10.56%）感染了两种原生动物，11份样本（2.19%）感染了三种原生动物。此外，65.54%的公牛感染了原生动物，明显低于母牛（72.97%）。已知6个月至2岁（73.39%）和大于2岁（71.25%）的牛比小于6个月（66.15%）的牛更容易感染原生动物。
本研究表明，班卡兰县牛的原生动物感染很常见。需要开展侧重于确定原生动物的流行率、寄生的危险因素和地理分布的研究，这将为预防和控制措施提供有效的指导。
