The demand for kacang goat (Capra aegagrus hircus)in Kupang City isvery high in the local market, especially before the sacrificial festival. Althoughthe goat population growth is high, there are several reasons that cause lowproductivity, namely parasitic infection.worms Taenia infect carnivores (as wellas humans) as the definitive host and involve an intermediate host which willdevelop into a cysticercus. The purpose of this study was to determine theanatomical pathology and histopathology of the visceral organs of kacang goatsinfected with cysticercus. This study used 6 samples of visceral organs of kacanggoats consisting of 4 liver organs, 1 rumen organ and 1 colon organ from 6 kacanggoats infected with cysticercus, in Pasir Panjang Village, Kupang City.Macroscopic observations, tissue fixation in 10% formalin, tissue processing andHE staining were carried out. The results of the study on liver organs infectedwith cysticerci showed pathological changes in the form of fibrosis, while in therumen and colon only cysticerci were formed. Histopathological changes in theliver organs of kacang goat infected with cysticercus in the form of mononuclearand polymorphonuclear inflammatory cell infiltration, necrosis, congestion,hemorrhage, hydropic degeneration, widening of sinusoids and fibrous tissue.Meanwhile, changes that occur in the rumen and colon organs are in the form ofinfiltration of mild inflammatory
