Abstract

This study investigated the preventive effect of virgin coconut oil (VCO) on the epithelium thickness and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules induced by ethanol in mice (Mus musculus). This study used 20 male mice as the experimental animal which were divided into five groups with four mice in each group. Negative control (C-) was given 2% Tween and aquadest, while positive control (C+) was given 2% Tween and 33% ethanol. T1, T2, and T3 were respectively given 0.09, 0.19, and 0.37 mL/kg bw VCO and 33% ethanol (0.2 mL/kg bw). VCO was given orally for 39 days, and ethanol was given orally seven days later for 32 days. Ethanol was administered two hours after the VCO administration. Analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s range test on the epithelium thickness and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules showed significant differences (p <0.05) of C+ group from the other groups. Whereas, there was no significant difference (p >0.05) was found among C-, T1, T2 and T3 group. The result concluded that VCO could protect the testis of mice from the damage caused by ethanol.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the risk factors for dystocia in primiparous and pluriparous dams at the study site. Cases of dystocia, both maternal and fetal, were obtained as secondary data from records at the Situbondo Regency Animal Husbandry Service for year 2020 and 2021. Tracking on these secondary data was carried out to look for cows experienced dystocia and the owners’ names and addresses for interviews using a questionnaire worksheet. Interviews were conducted in February - May 2022 to obtain data on the maternal breed, age, feeding, fetal sex, and exercise frequency during pregnancy of the cows. Dystocia in the working area of the Besuki Animal Health Center in Sitobondo Regency in 2020 and 2021 occured in 50 cows which included primiparous (26%) and pluriparous (74%) cows. Breed, age, feed, and sex of the calves were not significantly different (p >0.05) between primiparous and pluriparous dams. However, the frequency of the exercises differed significantly (p <0.05) between primiparous and pluriparous dams. It could be concluded that the dystocia of cows in the study area was dominated by pluriparous parturition with exercises factor as the main cause.
