HERU WIRZAL KESATRIA. Profile of Dairy Cattle Erythrocytes which Chronical Infected by Babesia sp. Supervised by AGUS WIJAYA and LENI MAYLINA.

Babesiosis is an endoparasite disease which is infected by Babesia sp. This genus parasite is classified as an intracellular obligate parasite. Babesia sp. can cause the disease which clinical symptoms such as anemia, fatigue, and weakness in animal. This research aim is to obtain the profile erythrocytes of dairy cattle which is chronically infected by Babesia sp. Information obtained can be used as a basis for performing a treatment action and prevention of Babesiosis on dairy cattle. Blood sample was taken at Kunak dairy cattle Cibungbulang, Bogor, West Java. Blood samples were collected from the coccygea vein or jugularis veins. Twenty one dairy cattles used in this research where divided into 2 groups, namely 6 tails as a control while 15 tails were chronical by infected Babesia sp. The result showed that the average number of erythrocytes (5.17 ± 0.97 x106/μL), the concentration of hemoglobin (9.39 ± 1.58 g/dL) and level of hematocrit (28.07 ± 4.67 %). Based on erythrocytes index dairy cattles that suffer from Babesiosis showed the decreasing of erythrocytes, concentration of hemoglobin and hematocrit values where leads to anemia normocytic normochromic.
