- ABSTRACT A cross-sectional study on gastrointestinal nematode infestations was performed on 680 sheep from 170 smallholder farmers in Yogyakarta Special Territory. A five-stage sampling procedure was used to select districts, sub-districts, villages, owners, and sheep. Selecetion of sub-districts was made on a geographic basis, with a sample proportionate to the total population of sheep in each of the four regions. A random sample was used to select subdistrict and a sample based on collabororation with the veterinarian's assitam was used to select villages and owners. Trichostrongylus sp. was the predominant species in both individual sheep and on a farm basis followed by Haemonchus sp., Oesophagostornurn sp., Bunustomum sp., and Strongyloides sp. in that order. However, based on eggs per gram (epg) of feces Haemonchus sp. had the highest level of infestation followed by Trichostrongylus sp. and Oesophagostomum sp. The important findings include the positively significant association of the epg of gastrointestinal nematodes with the following: non-cultivated grass, grazing areas on the side of the road and on the side of the drainage ditch, and a wet pen floor. A positively significant association between egg counts and treated sheep was probably due to reinfection in the interval between treatment and sampling Key words : gastrointestinal nematode, random sample, reinfection).
