Cattle is an important economic asset of rural community in Sukowono village, Bondowoso region, East Java Province, Indonesia. The study aimed to provide updated demographic data of smallholder cattle farms in Sukowono village. Data was collected through interview with farmers using census method. Further, 102 faecal samples were taken systematically and examined using double centrifugation method to investigate nematodiasis in the cattle population. Associations were analysed using Chi-square. Results showed that the total cattle population was 814 heads, owned by 442 farmers. Total female and male cattle were 666 and 148 heads, respectively. The range of farm size was 1-7 (median: 2) cattle. Number of cows, cycling heifers, female calves, bulls and bull calves were consecutively, 295, 165, 206, 84 and 64 heads. Pregnancy rate was low at 31.7% (146/460) of mature female cattle. Calving interval of <16 months was experienced by 91,8% (168/183) of cows, but age at first calving was longer than 2.7 year old in 37.6% (62/165) of heifers. Prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode burdens was high at 43.1% (44/102, 95%, CI: 38.1 - 52.1%). However, there was no apparent association between nematodiasis with age, sex, pregnancy rate or calving intervals of cattle in Sukowono. This study indicated that cattle farms were small in size, purposes were breeding but, productivity was low due to delay of first calving times. However, the role of nematodiasis in such condition remained unclear. This study provides a reference for designing priority program to improve productivity of cattle farming in Sukowono.
