Abstract

Bovine Brucellosis is endemic in Polewali Mandar Regency with a prevalence above 2%. Control programs implemented through active and passive surveillance, public awareness of the impact of the disease, and tests and slaughter have not been able to reduce the prevalence rate. This study aimed to examine the impact and risk factors of brucellosis on the productivity of beef cattle in Polewali Mandar Regency. A total of 100 primary data from cattle farmers related to brucellosis were used in this cross-sectional study. Descriptive analysis was employed to determine the parameters that were important in the occurrence of brucellosis. To establish risk factors, a univariate logistic regression analysis was carried out and revealed that odds of infection were significantly higher in history of abortion (OR = 11.82, 95% CI: 4.08 - 34.19,   p < 0.001) and in gestational age (OR = 0.0214, 95% CI: 0.0063 - 0.0724, p < 0.001) and in dry season than wet season (OR = 14.89, 95% CI: 4.97 - 44.62, p < 0.001).  The brucellosis control program through mass vaccination must immediately become a recommendation for regional and central governments to reduce brucellosis transmission to prevent economic impacts and losses for farmers, particularly the public health risk.

Abstract

The trend of cat ownership in the community continues to increase along with the growing interest in companion animals; however, this condition is not free from various reproductive medical problems. One of the disorders frequently encountered is difficulty in parturition, or dystocia, which may lead to serious complications if not managed promptly and appropriately. Dystocia is a reproductive emergency in cats that can progress to uterine rupture if not treated adequately. This case report aims to describe the clinical findings, diagnostic approach, and surgical management of a cat with dystocia accompanied by uterine rupture. The method used was a case report based on anamnesis, physical examination, and abdominal palpation, with confirmation through intraoperative findings during exploratory laparotomy, considering the limitations of supporting diagnostic examinations. The examination results revealed abdominal enlargement, dehydration, and the presence of free fetuses within the abdominal cavity due to rupture of the uterine wall. Management was performed through total ovariohysterectomy accompanied by abdominal lavage and postoperative therapy. It is concluded that a combination of careful clinical diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention is an effective approach in managing cases of dystocia complicated by uterine rupture in cats.
