Abstract

The color of edible bird’s nest is associated with its nitrite concentration, but this relationship remains inconclusive. This investigation aimed to evaluate the nitrite content in edible bird’s nest of four different colors: white, yellow, orange, and red blood. Fifty-eight edible bird’s nest samples were obtained from five swiftlet farmhouses in Borneo Island, Indonesia and analyzed for nitrite content using Genesys 30 visible spectrophotometer. Results showed that the dark-colored edible bird’s nests (yellow, orange, and red blood) had higher nitrite concentrations of 304, 317, and 309 ppm, respectively, compared with the white-colored one (15 ppm). Therefore, the color of edible bird’s nest was associated with its nitrite concentration. This study provided updated information about the nitrite concentration in edible bird’s nest of various colors.

Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the potency of Citrus aurantiifolia Swingle and sea salt solution as a promising cleansing agent for edible bird’s nests (EBNs). Ascorbic acid, sodium, and chloride analyses of the C. aurantiifolia Swingle and sea salt solution were conducted using HPLC, ICP-OES, and titrimetry, respectively. The characteristics of physical samples and hydrogen peroxide detection were examined in this study. The reduction activity of the Citrus aurantiifolia Swingle and sea salt solution on the nitrite of 120 white EBNs was studied. This nitrite reduction activity was compared with the available method (standard), drinking water method, 6% C. aurantiifolia Swingle extraction method, and sea salt water. An organoleptic test was performed by three trained panelists to determine the color of the samples before and after treatments. The results showed that the C. aurantiifolia Swingle and sea salt solution contained 0.27 mg/100 mL of ascorbic acid, 76370.93 mg/L of sodium, and 7555.61 mg/100 mL of chloride. In comparison results, the C. aurantiifolia Swingle and sea salt solution can reduce nitrite levels up to 86%, remove hydrogen peroxide, and improve the natural color of EBNs. The present study provides the first potential future cleansing agent for EBNs.

Abstract

Avian Influenza (AI) is one of the strategic animal diseases still considered a priority for control by the Indonesian government. This study aimed to examine the immune response of chickens to various types of H5N1 subtype AI vaccines in Indonesia and to determine the correlation of factors influencing the post-vaccination AI antibody response. Serum samples were tested using the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test with the standard AI antigen subtype H5N1 strain A/Chicken/Barru/BBVM/41-13/2013 (Clade 2.1.3) and strain A/Chicken/Semarang/04141225-07/2014 (Clade 2.3.2). Antibody titer was calculated using the Geometric Mean Titer (GMT). The correlation analyses were performed to assess the correlation of antibody titer against each of the following factors: age of chicken at the time of sampling, the interval between sampling time and the previous vaccination, and the number of vaccinations performed. The results showed that the average antibody titer value against the AI antigen subtype H5N1 strain A/Chicken/Barru/BBVM/41-13/2013 (Clade 2.1.3) was highest in samples from the South Sumatra Province, namely, Palembang City, which was 26.42 HIU. The results showed a significant correlation (p-value <0,05) between antibody titer and the interval between sampling time and the previous vaccination, the number of vaccination performed and age of chicken at the time of sampling. Therefore, results showed that the immunity developed from vaccination using the AI vaccine seed subtype H5N1 could induce immunity with a protective value of ≥16.

Abstract

Aquatic mammals in Indonesia are officially protected. However, there is a lack of research on these mammals, particularly in relation to potential disease-causing bacteria. A study was conducted in a conservation pond to address this gap, where swab samples were taken from the blowholes of aquatic mammals. The focus was on identifying bacteria that could potentially cause infectious diseases in these animals. The results revealed V. parahaemolyticus bacterial isolates, which showed a 98% similarity to the registered V. parahaemolyticus in NCBI. These bacterial isolates exhibited hemolysin properties and demonstrated resistance to trimethoprim, streptomycin, cephalothin, and penicillin antibiotics.

Abstract

Five edible-nest swiftlet houses in Central Java were sampled for fecal specimens. The samples were obtained using a sterile container to maintain aseptic conditions. Subsequently, the samples were mixed thoroughly in a tube containing sterile saline and allowed to incubate for a duration of 30 minutes. One milliliter of supernatant was placed onto Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) with chloramphenicol (50 mg/L) and incubated at a temperature of 25 ºC for a duration of one week. The results showed that all samples had a high percentage of Aspergillus niger (100%), Aspergillus flavus (100%), and Aspergillus fumigatus (100%) isolates. The findings suggest that edible-nest swiftlet houses in Central Java can serve as a potential reservoir and conduit for fungal infection and transmission.

Abstract

Edible bird‘s nest is an important export commodity that is currently of concern to the Indonesian government. One of the requirements for exporting edible bird’s nest to the People's Republic of China is that this product must meet the requirements for nitrite content in the product below 30 ppm. This nitrite contamination can be obtained from the results of nitrogen metabolism from nitrifying bacteria. However, information on nitrite-reducing bacteria in swiftlet houses has never been reported and is urgent in controlling nitrifying bacteria in swiftlet houses. The presence of nitrite-reducing bacteria needs to be identified to prove the presence of these bacteria in swiftlet houses that have the potential to contribute to nitrite contamination in edible bird’s nest. This study aims to isolate nitrate-reducing bacteria in an effort to control nitrite using bacteriophages in the future. This study targeted nitrate-reducing bacteria collected from environmental samples (waste, feces, pond water, artificial pond water, soil, swiftlet eggshells, white edible bird’s nest (Aerodramus fuciphagus), black bird’s nest (Aerodramus maximus)) (n=40) from two different swiftlet houses in Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia. All isolates collected were subjected to a series of microbiological tests, phenotypic characterization (Gram staining, morphology, sugar fermentation ability, enzymes, etc.) and genotyping by PCR amplification and 16S rDNA gene sequencing. Raw sequencing data were analyzed using DNASTAR® software for DNA sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree construction. In the present work, four bacteria species were identified, including Priestia megaterium, Pseudomonas putida, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Proteus terrae. To our knowledge, this study is the first report of nitrate-reducing bacteria isolated from birdhouses.
