Toxocariasis, caused by , is economically detrimental to beef calves. Despite its potential impact on cattle productivity, toxocariasis remains underrecognized by local farmers in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with toxocariasis in beef calves in the Pandak subdistrict of Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
The study employed a cross-sectional design, and 175 beef calf feces samples were collected for analysis. Risk factors such as age, sex, breed, body condition score, feces consistency, type of cage, weaning age, number of beef cattle per cage, and cage flooring material were collected using a structured questionnaire. Eggs per gram of feces (EPG) were quantified using the McMaster technique, and the total EPG count was categorized as light, moderate, or heavy. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 16.0 for Windows.
The prevalence of toxocariasis in beef calves in the Pandak subdistrict, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia was 11.4%. Ages 1-3 months and 4-6 months are identified as risk factors for toxocariasis in beef calves.
Toxocariasis is an endemic parasitic disease in beef calves aged under 6 months in Pandak subdistrict of Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Consequently, anthelmintic treatment should be routinely administered to beef calves aged below 6 months.
由[未提及具体病因]引起的弓首蛔虫病对肉用犊牛造成经济损失。尽管弓首蛔虫病对牛的生产力有潜在影响，但在印度尼西亚日惹班图尔，当地农民对其仍认识不足。
本研究旨在确定印度尼西亚日惹班图尔摄政区潘达克分区肉用犊牛弓首蛔虫病的患病率及相关危险因素。
本研究采用横断面设计，收集175份肉用犊牛粪便样本进行分析。使用结构化问卷收集年龄、性别、品种、体况评分、粪便稠度、畜栏类型、断奶年龄、每栏肉牛数量和畜栏地面材料等危险因素。采用麦克马斯特技术对每克粪便中的虫卵（EPG）进行定量，总EPG计数分为轻度、中度或重度。使用社会科学统计软件包（Windows版16.0）对数据进行单变量、双变量和多变量分析。
印度尼西亚日惹班图尔摄政区潘达克分区肉用犊牛弓首蛔虫病的患病率为11.4%。1至3个月龄和4至6个月龄被确定为肉用犊牛弓首蛔虫病的危险因素。
在印度尼西亚日惹班图尔摄政区潘达克分区，弓首蛔虫病是6月龄以下肉用犊牛的一种地方性寄生虫病。因此，应定期对6月龄以下的肉用犊牛进行驱虫治疗。
