Abstract

In the cultivation of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), parasitic worms can be detrimental in the form of mortality, resulting in increased financial losses. This study aimed to detect and identify parasitic worms in tilapia cultivated in Tanjung Bunga Lake. This study was conducted in March-April 2024. Fifty eight tilapia fish samples were randomly sampled at seven lake points and water sample for water quality examination including pH, salinity, temperature, dissove oxigen, nitrate, nitrite, and amonia. The identification results showed that only Cichlidogyrus sp.  were worm parasites found in tilapia samples. This research indicates that Cichlidogyrus is the most frequent worm infecting the gills of tilapia in the lake, which could result in greater financial losses and a decline in health for fish producers in the region. The results emphasize the necessity of efficient management strategies to minimize parasitic infections in tilapia aquaculture systems.

Abstract

This study aims to detect the occurrence or absence of Theileria sp. parasitic infection in cattle grazed at the Tamangapa Makassar landfill. This research was conducted in January 2022- February 2023. Many samples used in this study were 43 samples from the total cattle population in the study site of 781 cows. The sample used in this study was blood made by Giemsa staining. The data analysis used in this study is descriptive analysis. The results showed that from 43 samples there were 31 negative samples and 12 samples were positive for Theileria sp. in cattle grazed at the Tamangapa Makassar landfill. This can be seen from observations under a microscope, which is seen the formation of rods or sticks in erythrocyte cells. The positive samples were divided into several categories, based on the sex of the presentation of Theileria sp. cases in female cattle (32.43%) higher than in males (0%). Based on age, the ≥2 (39%) year old category is higher than the <2 years old category (20%). The conclusion of this study was that in cattle at the Tamangapa Makassar landfill, there was a parasitic infection with Theileria sp. and the incidence presentation was 27.91%. The suggestion for this study is that further research should be carried out in the future using diagnostic tests in determining species using PCR. In addition, researchers can then pay better attention to conditions that can be risk factors for this disease.

Abstract

Animal welfare is a critical aspect of livestock management, yet its implementation among smallholder farmers often remains inadequate. This study assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of cattle farmers in Tamangapa Subdistrict, Manggala District, Makassar City, Indonesia, where cattle are grazed at the Tamangapa urban landfill. A structured questionnaire was administered to 32 respondents, and data were analyzed using Spearman correlation, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon tests. Results revealed an average knowledge score of 0.92 (out of 1), an attitude score of 4.59 (out of 5), and a practice score of 3.07 (out of 5). No significant correlations were observed between knowledge, attitudes, and practices. However, significant positive correlations were observed between knowledge and the number of cattle (ρ = 0.548; p = 0.001) and between attitude and education (ρ = 0.362; p = 0.042), and a negative correlation between attitude and age (ρ = −0.468; p = 0.007). These results highlight the influence of demographic factors on animal welfare awareness and behaviors, emphasizing the need for targeted education and training programs to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice.
