To study the association of host, management factors, and prevalent disease on body weight, 680 sheep from 170 smallholder farmers in Yogyakarta Special Territory were selected. A random sample was used to select sub-district and a sample based on collaboration with the veterinarian's assitant was used to select villages and owners.
The result of this study showed that gastrointestinal nematode infestation, a damp/wet and wet pen floor were negatively associated with body weight. Getting forage from a rice field and having the pen floor raised off of the ground had a positive assocition with body weight of sheep.
