One of several factors that can decrease productivity of laying chicken is health problems caused by worm parasite (helminthiasis). The aim of this research is to identify the diversity of worm parasites in laying chicken in Jember District. Obtained information on worm parasite species can be used as a database for prevention and treatment strategies of helminthiasis in laying chicken in Jember District. One-hundred-and fifty laying chicken excreta samples were randomly collected in the Jember area which was started from July to August 2020. Identification of worm species diversity was carried out by examining worm eggs found in excreta samples using the sedimentation method and the Whitlock method performed at Balai Besar Veteriner (BBVet) Wates. Based on the results of chicken excreta examination in Jember, worm parasite eggs were found from the nematode class consisting of Strongyloides sp.; Heterakis sp ., and Ascaridia sp .
