Studi Kasus Fasciolosis di RPH Purwodadi Kabupaten Grobogan- Jawa Tengah: Diagnosis, Derajat Infeksi Fasciola gigantica, dan Tingkat Kerusakan Hati pada Sapi. | Case Study of Fasciolosis in Purwodadi Slaughterhouse, Grobogan District-Central Java: Diagnosis, Degree of Infection and Liver Damage in Cattle.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan tingkat infeksi fasciolosis, sensitifitas metode filtrasi-sedimentasi, korelasi jumlah telur Fasciola sp. dalam tinja dengan jumlah cacing Fasciola sp. yang ditemukan dalam hati, dan kerusakan hati. Sebanyak 18 sampel organ hati dan sampel tinja dikumpulkan dari sapi yang dipotong di RPH Purwodadi Kabupaten Grobogan- Jawa Tengah. Pemeriksaan tinja dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode filtrasi-sedimentasi sedangkan pemeriksaan sampel hati dilakukan dengan identifikasi infeksi F.gigantica, skor derajat kerusakan patologi anatomi dan histopatologi. Hasil pemeriksaan tinja dan identifikasi cacing F.gigantica di dalam organ hati diperoleh 6 sapi (33.33 %) terinfeksi F. gigantica. Metode filtrasi-sedimentasi memiliki sensitivitas yang tinggi yaitu 100%. Uji korelasi menunjukkan tidak ada korelasi antara jumlah telur dalam feses dengan jumlah cacing yang ditemukan pada hati. Pemeriksaan patologi anatomi hati menunjukkan berbagai tingkat kerusakan antara lain ringan, sedang, dan berat. Jumlah F.gigantica di dalam hati juga tidak memiliki korelasi dengan derajat kerusakan patologi anatomi dan histopatologi hati.

English. The research aims were to determine the degree of fasciolosis infection, the sensitivity of filtration-sedimentation method, and correlation between number of eggs in the feces with the number of flukes found in the liver and liver damage. A total of 18 liver and fecal samples were collected from cattle slaughtered at the abattoir of Purwodadi, Grobogan District-Central Java Province. Fecal examination was conducted using filtration-sedimentation method whereas the liver examination was observed to identify the F.gigantica infection, score of hepatic pathology. Results of the study showed 6 cattle (33.33%) had both flukes in the liver and fluke eggs in fecal samples. Filtration-sedimentation method had a sensitivity as high as 100%. Correlation test showed no correlation between the number of eggs in the feces with the number flukes found in the liver. Pathological examinations showed varying degrees of liver damage between mild, moderate, and severe. Number F.gigantica also has no correlation with the degree of liver damage both gross pathology and histopathology of livers.
