Although this type of chicken has a high adaptability ability, native chickens can also experience illness and population reduction on farms that can be caused by worm-type endoparasites. This study was conducted from July to August 2023 in Pattongko Village, Central Sinjai District, Sinjai Regency with the aim of finding out what types of endoparasites are found in the gastrointestinal of native chickens in Pattongko Village. Sampling was carried out by random sampling method using 20 native chickens whose feces were taken as much as 5 grams per head.
