Abstract: An integrated palm-cow management system has been introduced to increase population and production of beef cattle in Indonesia. The objective of the study was to assess the helminth infections on beef cattle in the palm-cow integration in East Kalimantan and Riau provinces under smallholder farming system. A cross sectional survey was carried out during November - December 2020 to observe diseases occurrence, interview the owner and animal health officer, as well as collected faecal sample of cattle in extensive, intensive and semi-intensive management. The clinical signs during field observation were diarrhoea, cachexia, anorexia and reproductive disturbance. In East Kalimantan, the prevalence of trematode (fasciolosis) in Bali cattle (65,5%) raised extensively was higher compared to Brahman cross (32%) that raised intensively. Conversely, the prevalence of nematodes in crossbreed was higher than in local breed (28% vs 10.34%). In Riau, cattle were kept in semi-intensive indicates that cross breed was more susceptible than local breed to nematode infestation (41.67% vs 22.73%), and to trematodes (Fasciola) (29.17% vs 18.18%). Beef cattle reared in palm cow-integration systems showed minimal cases of infectious diseases. Gastrointestinal parasites are potentially affected on ingested nutrient loss and metabolic disorder led to poor productivity and reproductivity of beef cattle.
