Fasciolosis is a disease caused by Fasciola gigantica or Fasciola hepatica that infected ruminants and caused liver damaged and loss of productivity. This research aimed to understand cases of Fasciolosis in slaughter house at Batu and Pujon, East Java, Indonesia which include 50 samples in each region from various type of livestock conducted from February to March 2019 (2 months). Observation of liver flukes was conducted by liver organ necropsy, Fasciola worm counts, and liver organ changes (fibrosis) including the weight of damaged and discarded liver. Data analysis was done descriptively. The results showed that average percentage of cattle infected by Fasciola from Limousin type, Simmental, Ongole cattle breeds (PO), and FH cows breeds (PFH) were 35.94%; 58.33%; 30.95%; and 58.33% consecutively. Average number of Fasciola worm observed in each type of cattle/cows were 105 in Limousin, 49 in Simmental, 27 in PO, and 129 in PFH. Meanwhile liver fibrosis score average in Limousin, Simmental, PO, and PFH type were 1.48; 1.89; 1.33; and 1.75. Average percentage of liver damaged that were discarded in Limousin, Simmental, PO, and PFH were 11.77%; 14.19%; 4.84%; 20.95% consecutively. It is suspected that different types of livestock affect the susceptibility to Fasciola infection. There are indications that Limousin cattle are more tolerant of liverworm infections.
