Abstract

This community service activity was carried out at the Hasanuddin University Animal Hospital with the aim of improving nutritional aspects through the assistance of homemade pet food preparation in Makassar City. The activity took place on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at the Hasanuddin University Animal Hospital, Makassar, South Sulawesi. The participants in this activity were 55 pet owners. The methods used in this activity began with a survey in the form of questionnaires given to pet owners regarding their understanding of pet nutrition. Another method was the transfer of knowledge, both in the form of instructional videos and pocket books on making balanced homemade pet food using ingredients readily available in the market. The results of this community service showed an increase in pet owners' understanding of pet nutrition based on the initial and final surveys conducted. The initial survey showed that 46 out of 53 respondents did not understand this nutritional aspect well, whereas the final survey showed that all 55 participants understood the importance of nutrition for their pets. Additionally, the use of easily obtainable ingredients in the market, such as mackerel, which is rich in macromolecules, vitamins, and minerals, was highlighted. The food formulation was measured according to the daily needs of the pets. The homemade pet food proved to be liked by the pets and economical, thereby enhancing the welfare of pet owners in Makassar City.

Abstract

According to Law Number 18 of 2009, animal welfare encompasses all aspects related to the physical and mental condition of animals based on their natural behaviors. Animal welfare includes how the management of laboratory animal housing is evaluated in terms of cage conditions, environment, and nutritional fulfillment. The objective of this study is to examine the correlation between the application of animal welfare aspects, including housing management, environment, and nutrition, on the palatability levels of laboratory animals. The research method involved dividing the treatment groups into eight groups, with each group consisting of three rats, for a total of 24 rats. The rat groups were categorized based on housing management, which was assessed based on cage size and body weight, sterilized versus non-sterilized bedding, optimum versus non-optimum temperature and humidity, and the frequency of feeding once a day or twice a day. The results showed that groups one and two exhibited higher average palatability levels compared to the other groups (17.5 and 16.5 grams, respectively), while groups four and five exhibited the lowest palatability levels (10.5 and 11.5 grams). Normality tests indicated that the data were normally distributed (P>0.05), and homogeneity tests showed that the data from the different groups were consistent (homogeneous) (P>0.05). Based on the normality and homogeneity tests, statistical analysis (ANOVA) was conducted. The ANOVA results indicated a significant effect (P
