Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effect of rice green folder on growth performance in Khmer native x Hariana crossbred cattle. Twelve males of Khmer native x Harian crossbred cattle were assigned an initial body weight of 190±10 kg (IBW) with 62 days of feeding regimen and an average of 15 months of age. The dietary treatments were assigned in a completely randomized design (CRD), with three treatments of four replications, each containing four cows. Feeding treatments were as follows: 1) 100% commercial feed (Control), 2) 50% commercial feed + 50% natural grasses (NG-50), and 3) 50% commercial feed + 50% rice green folder (RGF-50). Cows were fed at 1.5% Body weight of dry matter (DM). The results indeed showed that the initial body weight (IBW) and final body weight (FBW) were non-significantly different (P>0.05). The Control group consumed the total feed intake between the groups NG-50 at 6.58 kg and 6.85 kg, which were similar amounts but higher than RGF-50, which was 5.79 kg daily a head (linear increased <0.05). Nevertheless, average daily gain (ADG) in Control, NG-50, and RGF-50 was linearly increased (P<0.05) as the ADG was 0.58, 0.46, and 0.39kg/head. FCR in the NG-50 and RGF-50 were in the same row and higher than Control, with the precious value in both NG-50 and RGF-50 at 14.90 higher than 11.45 Control (P<0.001).  In conclusion, RGF-50 was a suitable roughage supply for feedlot cattle and could improve economic effectiveness. Thus, RGF was recommended for further study.

Abstract

AMR is a serious health issue in the 21st century as infections caused by resistant organisms become harder to treat, leading to longer illnesses, more hospital visits, and a higher risk of death. In parallel, it is also affecting Cambodia's health and economy. This study aims to understand rural veterinarians' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antimicrobial resistance in a northern province of Cambodia. The target districts were purposefully chosen and include Battambang City, Sangkae District, Moung Russei District, and Bavel District. Village Animal Health Workers (VAHWs) were randomly selected and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. All respondents, all of whom were veterinarians, were male. Among them, 33% had completed primary education, while only 4% had completed higher education. The services provided by VAHWs and in treatment are not significantly different (P>0.05), with the majority of services being for cattle (100%), swine (71%), and buffaloes (7%). However, all veterinarians (100%) were aware of antimicrobial resistance, with 44% learning about it through training courses. Among these, 84% expressed concern, citing increased difficulty in treatment and diagnosis. Furthermore, 61% believed antibiotics could be used for prevention, while 26% used them to promote growth. It is concluded that antimicrobial resistance in Battambang is a serious concern. Therefore, VAHWs should be empowered through capacity-building, and relevant institutions should strengthen regulations governing the use of veterinary medicines to promote better practices. Additionally, the phrase 'use antibiotics with caution' should be included on packaging in Khmer script.
