Abstract

The outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) and African Swine Fever (ASF) in Indonesia needs to be counteracted by providing education and increasing awareness to the farming community about the importance of animal health and its impact on the economy and human health. Apart from that, the public also needs to be educated about the transmission and prevention of FMD, which is still free in NTT, and ASF disease, which is currently being eradicated. Members of the Telekomunit Farmers Group, the Sanam Tuan Farmers Group, the Sabu Bani Farmers Group, and the Setetes Madu Farmers Group in Camplong II Village, Fatuleu District, Kupang Regency, Nusa Province East Southeast are being helped through communication and education as part of this service activity. The goal is to make them more aware of the threat of PMK and ASF. In this activity, the community was also educated about rabies, which has become an epidemic in TTS, one of the areas on the island of Timor, and has been designated as an extraordinary rabies event.

Abstract

Infectious animal diseases, particularly zoonoses, pose a significant problem to the inhabitants of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province because of the high animal population, especially livestock, and the close interaction between humans, animals, and the environment. The Faculty of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Nusa Cendana, Kupang, held the Animal Disease Investigation Training Program for Veterinary Professional Education Students (PPDH) to overcome this significant challenge. This one-day workshop had been attended by 80 participants, consisting of 26 men (32.5%) and 54 women (67.5%). This training aims to improve students' understanding and skills in zoonotic disease investigation through theoretical and practical approaches. Theoretical sessions were conducted by giving presentations to provide a foundation of knowledge. At the same time, interactive approaches in the form of group discussions and field practice were designed to improve the ability to analyze and handle cases in the field. The results of this training are expected to equip participants with the ability to investigate, identify risks, and implement disease prevention and control measures. The expected implication of this activity is to improve the ability of prospective veterinarians to face the challenges of animal diseases in NTT, especially in infectious disease detection. This training provides relevant theoretical and practical experience in protecting animal and public health in the region.

Abstract

The uncontrolled population of dogs and cats in urban areas poses a significant risk for the transmission of zoonotic diseases, including rabies. As a rabies-endemic region in Indonesia, Kupang City requires effective strategies to reduce the population of rabies vector animals, one of which is through sterilization programs. This community service initiative aimed to support population control of dogs and cats as a preventive measure against the transmission of rabies. Sterilization procedures were carried out at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Nusa Cendana during October 2024, involving 25 owned animals (both male and female dogs and cats) from various areas in Kupang, including Penfui, Oesapa, Liliba, and Naikolan. The surgeries were performed by a veterinary medical team using standard surgical techniques, with a focus on animal welfare. The activity received a positive response from the community and demonstrated that sterilization is an effective and socially acceptable method for controlling the domestic animal population. Similar programs can be implemented regularly and sustainably to support rabies elimination efforts in Kupang City.
