Asmara IY, Garnida D, Sulisytati M, Tejaningsih S, Partasasmita R. 2018. Ethnoveterinary medicine and health management of Pelung Chicken in West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 1502-1508. Pelung chicken is a race group of chickens. The spread of Pelung chicken is in the district of Cianjur, and now become widespread to several districts in West Java. The spread of Pelung chicken does occur because as a poultry, it is attractive  to people who like to keep the chicken. The chickens are mainly raised as singing chickens. Some studies showed that health-management practices and disease control measures present challenges in maintaining the existence of the chickens. A survey was carried out to determine health management and the use of ethnoveterinary in raising Pelung chickens. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data involving 131 Pelung keepers in four districts in West Java Province including Cianjur, Sukabumi, Bandung and Garut Districts. The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis. The result showed that respiratory diseases such as Snot (Infectious Coryza) and Tetelo (Newcastle Disease) were main diseases for Pelung chickens. Vaccination combined with ethnoveterinary medicines was a common practice for Pelung keepers to prevent and cure chicken diseases. More than five major medicinal plants were found to be used to cure various chicken diseases in which leaves of papaya and turmeric were the most mentioned by respondents. Documentation and investigations regarding plant properties and their applications for Pelung chickens disease cure should be carried in the future. A combination of vaccination, ethnoveterinary medicine and good hygiene are required to control deadly diseases such as Newcastle Disease. Government intervention would be required to improve keepers' skills and awareness in chicken health management.

Abstract. Asmara IY, Garnida D, Partasasmita R. 2020. Short Communication: Duration and volume of crowing of Pelung chickens of West Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 748-752. Pelung are long crowing chickens originally from West Java Province, Indonesia. The chickens are raised as singing birds due to their beautiful crowing capability. Nowadays, the chickens are distributed not only in West Java, Indonesia but also in other provinces in Indonesia because of the existence of Pelung contests. The contests evaluate singing ability of Pelung chickens and are important promotion media for the birds. In contests, crowing characteristics such as duration and intensity are important factors to determine the quality of chickens. Some factors such as age, body weight, and body morphometrics are assumed to influence crowing characteristics. The study was aimed to determine crowing duration and volume in Pelung roosters, as well as correlations of age, body weight and body morphometrics with crowing characteristics. A survey was performed to collect data involving 73 birds in two areas in West Java Province. The research locations are Cianjur and Sukabumi Districts. The results showed that roosters in all areas have similar crowing durations, while their crowing intensities are varied. The study also found that age and body weight, as well as some body-morphometries, have strong correlations with crowing characteristics. The research provides empirical evidence of factors determining vocal performance of Pelung chickens. However, more samples from different areas are required to support these findings. In addition, research on management systems, health status and participation of chickens in rehearsal is needed in the future.

Abstract

Asmara IY, Widjastuti T, Setiawan I, Abun, Partasasmita P. 2018. The growth performances and the gut health parameters of Sentul chickens supplemented with various dosage of turmeric powder. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 121-125. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of turmeric powder (0, 1, 2, 3 g/kg) on production performance and the number of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in the intestine of Sentul chickens. The results showed that addition of 3 g/kg of turmeric powder to diet significantly reduced feed intake (FI) and improved feed conversion ratio (FCR) of Sentul Chickens aged 9-16 weeks. The birds fed with control diet had the highest number of S. aureus and E. coli, while the birds fed with the diets added with 2 and 3 g/kg turmeric powder had the lowest number of bacteria. The study reveals that increasing levels of turmeric powder in diets had positive effects on bird’s performance and the number of intestinal bacteria. It can be concluded that a level of 3 g/kg turmeric powder in diets gave the best result due to significantly improved FCR.
