Relationship of Gastrointestinal Nematode Infections to the Productivity of Young Lamb in Traditional Farming System
Keywords:
helminthiasis, young sheep, productivity, parasitic infection, egg per gram (epg)Abstract
Helminthiasis is a parasitic disease that causes economic losses in sheep farming by reducing productivity and increasing mortality, particularly in young lambs. Infected lambs are often asymptomatic, making detection challenging. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between gastrointestinal worm infections and the productivity of young lambs, measured by daily weight gain (DWG), chest circumference, and abdominal circumference. The study was conducted over six weeks using 14 lambs aged less than one year (I0), with seven lambs in Cibanteng Village and seven in Cikarawang Village. The McMaster method was used to determine the total egg count per gram of feces (EPG), while statistical analysis was performed using a t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient (r). The results showed a significant difference (P < 0.05) in parasitic infection levels between Cibanteng and Cikarawang Villages, with a higher average EPG in Cibanteng. Pearson correlation analysis indicated a significant negative correlation (P < 0.05) between EPG and DWG in Cibanteng Village, with a correlation coefficient of -0.343, suggesting that an increase in EPG is associated with a decrease in DWG, albeit with a weak correlation strength.
