Abstract

A survey consisting of fecal examination and questionnaire on management was carried out on swamp buffalo smallholdings in Melaka and Negeri Sembilan. Calves aged 18 months and below were included. It was found that there was high prevalence of Haemonchus (60.4%), coccidia (58.3%) and followed by paramphistomes (31.3% ), Trichostrongylus (23.0%) and Strongyloides ( 22.9%). Cooperia (8.7%), Oesophagastomum (2.9%) and Toxocara ( 2.1%) were found to a lesser extent. The management systems practised by the smallholders were similar with poor nutrition, poor housing, drainage and infrequent drenching. Even though the management of the smallholder buffalo calves is poor, the animals appear to have few gastrointestinal parasitic problems.
