Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the number of prevalence of Trypanosomiasis of wild rats in Banyuwangi. Sixty wild rats were trapped from human residence, markets and rice fields in Banyuwangi. Rat`s  blood smear was stained by Giemsa. The result show that one (1.67%.) of 60 blood sample was appear Trypanosoma sp..  The prevalence of Trypanosomiasis of wild rats in Banyuwangi was 1.67%.

Abstract

Highlight Research One of the content of microalgae that is beneficial for health is polysaccharides Polysaccharides of Indonesian microalgae can be promoted as anti-malarial Polysaccharides from Glagah, Spirulina and East Java microalgae inhibited the growth of plasmodium in vitro and had IC50 values of 3.18 µg/mL, 5.43µg/mL and 9.87 µg/mL, respectively   Abstract Malaria is an infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium that categorized as deadliest diseases in the world. Artemisinin and its derivatives are still recommended drugs for malaria therapy, however, there have been indications that Plasmodium parasites are resistant to this drug. Therefore, a study on polysaccharides from microalgae may be a potential as bioactive compound for anti-malaria. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the mixed microalgae polysaccharides as anti-malarial in vitro. Polysaccharides were extracted from three microalgae Spirulina sp., mixed microalgae Glagah and mixed microalgae East Java using the alkaline extraction method. The anti-malarial activity test refers to the concentration of polysaccharides used in calculating the IC50 value by probit analysis.  The concentration of polysaccharides of the three microalgae used were 0; 0.01; 0.01, 1, 10 and 100 µg/mL. The results showed that the IC50 values of polysaccharides of Glagah, Spirulina sp. and East Java microalgae were 3.18 µg/mL, 5.43µg/mL, and 9.87 µg/mL, respectively. In Conclusion, polysaccharides of Indonesian mixed microalgae can be promoted as anti-malarial.

Abstract

Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP/AGPs) have been used to improve feed efficiency in poultry, but are banned in Indonesia due to food safety concerns. This study evaluated the potential of probiotics as an AGP alternative in ISA Brown male layer chickens during the finishing period, focusing on blood glucose and cholesterol levels. A total of 180 chickens were reared for 42 days. Treatment groups received basal feed supplemented with probiotics at 1–5 mL/kg, equivalent to 1.2×10⁹ to 6×10⁹ CFU/kg feed, containing Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Bifidobacterium spp. Blood cholesterol was analysed using an enzymatic colorimetric method at 500 nm, while glucose was measured using the glucose oxidase method at 505 nm. Results showed that probiotic treatments (P2, P3, P5) significantly reduced glucose levels compared to the control (P0) and AGP group (P1). A moderate decrease in cholesterol levels was also observed in probiotic groups. These effects may be linked to improved gut microbial balance and nutrient metabolism. The probiotic combination used in this study shows potential as a safer and more sustainable alternative to AGPs. Further studies are recommended to optimize dosage and assess long-term impacts on poultry health and productivity.
