ABSTRACT

Duck is poultry that susceptible to endoparasite infection. Gastrointestinal parasite infection is a disease
that often is found in ducks. This infection can be caused by various kinds of helminths such as nematode,
cestode, and trematode. This study aims to identify and calculate the degree of trematode infection in the
gastrointestinal tract of ducks from chicken slaughter houses in Bogor. This research used 10 duck’s
gastrointestinal tract which 5 of them came from chicken slaughter houses in Bojong Gede and 5 the rest were
from chicken slaughter houses in Cibinong Market. The gastrointestinal tract was divided into 4 parts; the upper,
middle, lower part of the intestine, and caecum. Each feces sample was examined by making slides using native
and floatation methods to identify the egg of endoparasite. Adult worms that have been found in the sample were
stained to identify each species. The result of this study showed 4 out of 10 ducks were positive for endoparasite
infection. Trematodes found in this study were egg and adult of Echinostoma revolutum (20%) along the small
intestine, large intestine, and caecum. Another trematode species that can be found was Hypoderaeum
conoideum (10%) in the small intestine.
