A preliminary survey of Sarcocystis species in the slaughtered cattle in Seoul was undertaken during October through December 1987, using digestion diagnostic technique for the heart muscle specimens digested in 0.5 % trypsin solution. Results indicated that 41.5 % of 159 bovine hearts were infected with Sarcocystis proliferative forms. High frequencies in the exotic dairy cattle (42.2%) and the Korean native cattle (41.7%) were noticed in comparison with low frequency in the cross breed (25.0%). No differences were indicated between the sexes of the host animals, although an age difference was noticed as 48.9 % in cattle older than four years in comparison with 39.0 % and 37.1 % in younger than two years and in two to four years, respectively
