Abstract

Subclinical mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the mammary gland without visible symptoms in dairy livestock. The subclinical mastitis should be detected periodically in every farm. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in dairy goats on smallholder farms, followed by calculating the goat milk's total plate count (TPC) and pH value. Risk factors thought to cause subclinical mastitis on that farm are traditional livestock rearing techniques and land area that exceeds livestock capacity. The method used was a survey at a smallholder farm and laboratory analysis for the milk quality as a case study of a goat farm in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The farm kept 118 goats from different breeds: Ettawa breeders, Sapera, Anglo Nubian, Anglo Sapera, and Anglo Saperaboer. Eighteen dairy goats were in the lactation period in June-July 2023. The results of subclinical mastitis examination of dairy goats were categorized as negative (-), positive 1 (+), positive 2 (++), and positive 3 (+++). The results showed that the prevalence of subclinical mastitis on that farm was 66.7%. Furthermore, milk TPC values (CFU/ml) were 3.1x105 (-), 5.6x106 (+), 9.9x106 (++), and 1.5x107 (+++). The pH values of the milk ranged from about 6.9 to 7.1. In conclusion, there was a high prevalence of subclinical mastitis on the farm. As such, the TPC and pH values were above the Indonesian National Standard for fresh milk quality.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges and opportunities surrounding the decline in local pasteurized whole dairy milk consumption in Indonesia, focusing on West Sumatra. Despite potential health benefits, factors such as limited availability, storage challenges, and concerns about taste and product quality have hindered the adoption of whole milk as a mixing ingredient in contemporary beverages. Through a survey of beverage outlets in Padang City and analyzing consumer preferences, this research identifies critical barriers businesses face and proposes interventions to address them. These interventions include improving milk accessibility, providing business educational programs, promoting taste and quality benefits, supporting recipe development, conducting market research, and collaborating with suppliers. By addressing these challenges, businesses can expand consumer choice, stimulate demand, and drive growth in the whole milk-based beverage market, ultimately benefiting local dairy farmers and public health in Indonesia.

Abstract

Heat stress is a significant concern in dairy cattle production, even in high-altitude areas typically associated with cooler climates. This study investigated the temporal and spatial variations of the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI), air temperature, and relative humidity at a high-altitude dairy farm during the rainy season in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Environmental data were collected bi-hourly from 08:00 to 16:00 at three different locations: outside the pen, inside a pen equipped with fan ventilation, and inside a pen without fan ventilation. ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests revealed significant differences across both time and location. The highest THI levels were recorded outside the pen during midday (12:00–14:00), with a mean of 80.18 ± 3.76, compared to 76.17 ± 1.96 in the fan-ventilated pen and 74.96 ± 1.88 in the non-ventilated pen. Notably, there were no significant differences in THI between the two indoor environments, indicating that fan ventilation had limited effectiveness. All indoor THI values reflected moderate heat stress. Additionally, Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong negative correlation between temperature and humidity across all locations (r = -0.88 to -0.97; p < 0.05). These findings highlight the limitations of current ventilation systems and emphasize the urgent need for improved microclimate management strategies in high-altitude dairy farming.
