This study was aimed to analyze the study of IPB-D1 chicken development in the free-range rearing system on endoparasite resistance. The materials used were 46 IPB D1 roosters aged 18 weeks and had been reared for 14 weeks in two different cage systems, that are 23 chickens reared in intensive system cages and 23 chickens reared in free-range system cages. The observed variables were worm eggs and oocysts in chicken feces. The examination was done quantitatively using the Mc. Master technique. The results showed that in the feces of IPB-D1 chickens found 17.39% (intensive) and 65.22% (free-range) egg Ascaridia galli, 21.74% (intensive) and 95.65% (free-range) egg Capillaria annulata, 13.04% (intensive) and 8.70% (free range) egg worm from Cestoda class, and 78.26% (intensive) and 91.30% (free-range) oocysts. Based on this, it can be concluded that IPB-D1 Chickens with free-range rearing systems experience more worm and protozoan infections than intensive rearing systems.
