ABSTRACT: The aims of this
study was (i) to find out the level of liver flukes infection based on body
weight, age of beef cattle and their background of origin, and (ii) to know the
relationship between the level of liver flukes infection, body weight, age,
background of origin and the level of economic losses of beef cattle. This
study was conducted at four abattoir located at Banyumas, Cilacap, Purbalingga
and Banjarnegara regencies, Central Java province. The sample was taken by
purposive sampling. 20 beef cattle that infected by liver fluke in each
abattoir were involved in this study. Multiple linear regression was applied in

found at moderate and far body condition (100% and 67%, respectively). (3)
Economic loss of beef cattle (Y) affected by factors of the liver flukes
infection level (X1), body weight (X2), age (X3), background of origin (Dummy)
with determinant coefficient 0,625 and regression equation as fallow; Y =
18792,397 + 207,334 X1 - 17,905 X2 – 1981,969 X3 - 1178,544 D.
