Abstract

This research was conducted to identify non-specific bacteria found in the cervical mucus of dairy cattle in the follicular and luteal phase. Twenty cervical mucus samples were collected from ten cows during their follicular phase and ten cows during their luteal phase. Sampling was carried out with the help of an artificial insemination gun and a plastic sheath, which were protected by a sheath cover. After insertion into cervix, the tip of the plastic sheath was cut and put into a tube prefilled with phosphate buffered saline. All samples were cultured in Blood Agar media and isolated in Eosin Methylene Blue Agar, Mac Conkey Agar, and Manitol Salt Agar. Gram staining was applied to distinguish gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria; and followed with the catalase, spore, motility, and biochemical tests to further identify bacteria. The bacteria identified were of the genus Enterobacter, Staphylococcus, Corynebacterium, Streptococcus, Escherichia, and Pasteurella. It could be concluded that non-specific bacteria of the same genus were identified in cervical mucus of dairy cows in their follicular and luteal phase, in a various of percentages.

Abstract

Lead is a harmful pollutant from engine exhaust that causes free radicals and has detrimental effects on the testicular tissue. This study aimed to determine the effects of tomato juice on the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules of mice exposed to lead acetate. Twenty-five male mice were divided into five groups. Mice in the control (C-) group were given placebos. Meanwhile, mice in C+, T1, T2, and T3 groups were exposed to lead acetate at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW/day for 14 days and given tomato juice respectively at 0, 0.16, 0.32, and 0.64 mL/day from day 8 to day 35. On day 36, all mice were sacrificed, and the testes were collected for histological preparation. The result showed that lead exposure in the C+ group decreased (p <0.05) in the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules compared to the mice in group C-. Administration of tomato juice in groups T1, T2, and T3 increased (p <0.05) the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of seminiferous tubule compared to the mice in the C+ and C- groups. However, tomato juice administration to the T3 group decreased the number of Leydig cells and the diameter of the seminiferous tubules (p <0.05) compared to the T2 group. In conclusion, an effective dose of 0.32 mL/day of tomato juice restored Leydig cell number and seminiferous tubules diameter in mice exposed to lead acetate.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between total protein, albumin, and globulin in the blood with the incidence of repeat breeders in dairy cows. Ten normal cyclic cows and ten repeat breeders cows were taken randomly based on the reproductive records of the Tani Wilis Village Cooperative, Sendang District, Tulungagung Regency. Questionnaire data in the form of farmers' knowledge about dairy cows' reproductive systems and feed treatment is displayed descriptively.  Dairy cows blood samples were taken from the jugular vein 6 mL to measure total protein, albumin, and globulin levels. Data analyzed using the Statistical Product and Service Solution software at a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the total protein, albumin, and globulin levels in normal dairy cows and dairy cows with repeat breeders were not significantly different (p>0.05). However, in normal cyclic cows, most of the total protein, albumin, and globulin levels (80-100% of normal cyclic cows samples) are within the normal range. Meanwhile, the majority of repeat breeder cows (60-70% of the repeat breeder cows) had total protein, albumin, and globulin levels lower than the normal range (p<0.05). It could be concluded that there was a relationship between the incidence of repeat breeder and total protein, albumin, and globulin levels in the blood serum of dairy cows with repeat breeder. Therefore, it is suggested to raise awareness of smallholder farmers about proper feeding and feeding management to reduce repeat breeder cases.
