Abstract

Improvement of canine reproduction has been developed by artificial insemination (AI) for effective breeding. -tocopherol widely recognized as an antioxidant that has been used to improve the quality of the spermatozoa. This study evaluated the effect of -tocopherol supplementation in dog chilled semen quality. Beagle dog breed semen samples were obtained from male Beagles using massage technique. The semen was then diluted with tris-skim milk extender supplemented with -tocopherol of various concentration, 0% as control group (T-0), 0.1% (T-0.1), 0.2% (T-0.2), and 0.3% (T-0.3), then were stored at 4 C and evaluated daily for four days, particularly for variables namely sperm motility, sperm viability, and plasma membrane integrity. Results showed that the quality of spermatozoa was higher when spermatozoa preserved in extender containing of 0.1% or 0.2% -tocopherol compared to those of control and 0.3% -tocopherol group (P0.05). The highest quality found in group with 0.2% -tocopherol. In conclusion, supplementation -tocopherol 0.2% in dog chilled semen extender is effective for improving and maintaining chilled dog sperm quality for 4 days of storage.

Abstract

Primary objective of this study was to ascertain the presence of Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) as the causative of Q fever in cattle within Bandung Regency. Tissue samples were procured from 240 slaughtered cattles in abattoirs across Bandung Regency. Each breed of cattle consists of Brahman cross (BX), Simmental, Limousin, Friesien Holstein crossbreed, and Friesien Holstein (FH) with total of 192, 3, 13, 29, and 3, respectively. Detection method employed was nested-Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to identify the presence of C. burnetii Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) within tissue samples. Positive samples underwent further examination employing hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining to identify lesions attributed to C. burnetii. Five BX cattle were identified as positive for C. burnetii in lungs and heart. However, histopathological analysis of both organs did not reveal any notable changes. These findings suggest the occurrence of C. burnetii infection in cattle within Bandung Regency, without specific histopathological changes indicative of Q fever lesions. In conclusion, presence of asymptomatic C. burnetii infections should be regarded as a significant threat to human health.
