Abstract

Broiler chickens are chickens that have been specifically bred for high meat production. The increase in chicken meat consumption has become both an opportunity and a challenge for farmers, one of which is coccidiosis. Coccidiosis is caused by the Eimeria protozoa, which commonly infect chickens and target their digestive tract. This study aims to calculate the proportion and identify Eimeria species that often cause coccidiosis in broiler chickens in Malang Regency and Batu City. A total of 180 fecal samples from 6 different farms were used. The examination was conducted using the McMaster method and sporulation for 2-7 days on positive samples by immersing feces in a 2% potassium dichromate solution. Identification of Eimeria species was based on morphology and morphometry and was then were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The relationship between risk factors and coccidiosis occurrence was analyzed using Chi-square. The distribution of coccidiosis infections in Malang was depicted on an epidemiological map. The results showed that there were 4 Eimeria species infecting the six subdistricts in Malang Regency and Batu City, namely E. necatrix, E. acervulina, E. praecox, and E. maxima. The proportion of coccidiosis incidence in Malang Regency and Batu City was 18.89%. The highest proportion was in Dau District (43.33%), followed by Pagelaran District (36.67%), Kromengan District (23.33%), Wagir District (6.67%), Junrejo District (3.33%), and lastly Batu District (0%). Chi-square analysis showed that altitude and temperature had a significant effect (p<0.05) on the coccidiosis incidence rate in Malang Regency and Batu City.

Abstract

Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease that commonly affects broiler chickens, caused by protozoa of the genus Eimeria. This disease significantly reduces productivity, impairs feed efficiency, and increases mortality rates. The continuous use of synthetic anticoccidial drugs has raised concerns over resistance and drug residues accumulation in poultry products. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the in vitro anticoccidial efficacy of herbal powders from Andrographis paniculata (sambiloto) and Morinda citrifolia (noni leaves) as potential natural alternatives. A total of 150 fecal samples were collected from five poultry farms using a simple random sampling method. Eight treatment groups were established: a negative control (without coccidiostat), a positive control (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole), and six herbal treatments (0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% of both A. paniculata and M. citrifolia powders). Each treatment group comprised five biological replicates. Oocyst per gram (OPG) counts were determined using McMaster technique. Both herbal powders significantly reduced OPG compared to the negative control (p < 0.05). The most effective treatment was M. citrifolia at 0.75%, showing the lowest OPG value and comparable efficacy to the synthetic anticoccidial. M. citrifolia 0.75% reduced mean OPG to 4,098 ± 250 (p < 0.001) compared to the negative control. This study provides the direct comparative evidence of A. paniculata and M. citrifolia anticoccidial activity using standardized OPG quantification, suggesting their promise as sustainable herbal alternatives for coccidiosis control.

Abstract

This study investigated the diversity, density, and distribution of cattle-infesting flies in smallholder systems in the Malang region, East Java, Indonesia, where high fly burdens compromise animal health and productivity, but spatial evidence is limited. In June and December 2024, we surveyed 400 cattle across 13 sub-districts. Flies were identified morphologically, supported by a YOLOv8 computer vision workflow. Relative abundance, Shannon diversity (H′), body-site predilection, and associations with location, breed, body condition score (BCS), and housing/hygiene were analyzed, and spatial patterns were mapped. A total of 6,237 flies, representing nine distinct species, were recorded. Haematobia irritans exigua dominated the diversity (n = 2,180), followed by Musca domestica (1,455), Stomoxys spp. (S. bengalensis 1,083; S. sitiens 600; S. calcitrans 523), M. autumnalis (370), Morellia simplex (13), M. crassirostris (9), and Tabanus rubidus (4). The highest diversity was found in Malang Regency (H′ = 1.55). The highest relative abundance of H. irritans exigua was observed in Malang City (50.3%) and Malang Regency (44.7%), while M. domestica predominated in Batu City (43.8%). Haematophagous flies concentrated on the lower and upper body regions. Higher burdens were associated with black or brown solid coat color, fat cattle with high body condition scores (BCS 7–9), and the Simmental breed. H. irritans exigua predominated in individually housed cattle under poor hygiene conditions. The YOLOv8-based identification system demonstrated high performance (mAP 99.5%, precision 74.4%, recall 94.6%) in supporting microscopic identification. Further improvements, however, require additional model training with larger datasets.

Abstract

Blood parasite infections in exotic birds can lead to a decline in productivity, ultimately contributing to population reductions. This study aimed to identify the species of blood parasites, determine the infection proportion, and assess the significance of body mass and cage type as risk factors for blood parasite infection in captive exotic Psittaciformes housed in Prigen and Batu, East Java, Indonesia. A total of 330 blood smear samples were collected from 165 individual birds using a simple random sampling method. Blood parasite detection was conducted via microscopic examination of stained blood smears. The infection proportion was calculated by comparing the number of infected individuals to the total number examined. The associations between bird body mass and cage type with blood parasite infection were analyzed using the chi-square test, followed by the calculation of Odds Ratio (OR) and Relative Risk (RR) using SPSS software version 27. The identified blood parasite species included Haemoproteus spp., Leucocytozoon spp., and Plasmodium spp. The overall infection proportion among the examined Psittaciformes was 7.8%. Chi-Square analysis revealed no statistically significant associations (P > 0.05) between either body mass or cage type and infections with Plasmodium spp., Leucocytozoon spp., or mixed infections involving Plasmodium spp. and Haemoproteus spp.
