Abstract

Ragunan Zoo is one of the ex-situ conservation sites in DKI Jakarta to protect the wildlife outside their natural habitat. The emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is one of the TMR collection animals originating from Australia. An emu bird named Lebo, aged 19 years, and male sex was found sick on January 12, 2022. Based on physical examination, the emu bird showed clinical symptoms of anorexia, unwilling to eat, lethargic, refusing or difficult to move, unable to lift his head, and inflammation of the right eye. No further examination was performed to determine the diagnosis. Treatments were taken symptomatically, namely the fluid therapy, injection of vitamins and energy sources, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory. The emu was found dead on February 6, 2022 and a necropsy was performed. Postmortem findings obtained were glossitis, ventriculitis, gizzard erosion, hemorrhagic enteritis, hepatic lipidosis, epicarditis, testicular atrophy, and orchitis. Diagnosis of suspected cause of death is damage and decreased function of various organs of the body.

Abstract

Curcuma zedoaria Rosc (Zingiberaceae), known as white turmeric or temu putih, is commonly used as traditional medicine in Indonesia. The toxicity of this herb needs to be studied to improve its application. This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of the crude ethanol extract of temu putih rhizome against brine shrimp (Artemia salina) larvae and zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos and to analyze the potential active compounds contained in the extract. The crude ethanol extract showed a 50% lethal concentration value (LC50) at 588 ppm against brine shrimp larvae and 224 ppm against zebrafish embryos. Based on the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, the suspected active compounds that play a role in the toxicity were epicurzerenone, curzerene, and curzerenone, while 2,4,6-trimethylacetophenone was the predominant compound.
