ABSTRACT

This study aims to compare the pig rearing model between the laleken system and the free-range system on the possibility of preventing contamination of water, vegetables and soil around the yard by parasites from pig feces and urine. The study was conducted in Minyambouw District, Arfak Mountains Regency on 30 local pigs with a body weight of 10-15 kg and a minimum EPG of 2000, before and after the application of laleken. Stool samples come from fresh feces. Water samples were collected from pools around the farmer’s house in both systems, vegetable samples were collected from three points ± 0 m, ± 1 m, and ± 2 m apart from the fence and soil samples were collected at three points ± 1 m apart, ± 10 m apart, ±25 m from the house with three replications. The second stage of collection was carried out on day 0 and day 30 after laleken was applied. Sample examination with native method, McMaster and sedimentation. Quantitative data are presented in mean ± standard deviation. The results of the comparison of the two systems were analyzed using the t-test. All pigs were superinfected by Ascaris spp, Trichuris spp and Strongyloides spp parasites with a mean EPG of 2185.56. The prevalence of parasitic eggs of Ascaris spp, Trichuris spp and Strongyloides in water, vegetables and soil ranged from 62.96% to 98.15%. Laleken system can reduce environmental pollution by parasites 89.28% to 100%.
