Bovine fecal samples of Bali cattle were taken in the District of Tenayan Raya Pekanbaru Municipality. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of paramphistomiasis and fascioliasis of adult males and females Bali cattle and the number of eggs worm per gram of feces as well. A total of 232 fecal samples were tested by Parfit and Banks, and McMaster. Results showed that the prevalence of Fasciola spp. in males Bali cattle and cows was 49.02% and 60.71%, respectively, whereas the prevalence of Paramphistomum spp. in males Bali cattle and cows was 46.07% and 50.00%,
