Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of glucose, glycine, and a combination of glucose and glycine supplemented into Ringer’s lactate extender on the quality of pre- and post-cryopreservation of semen of local chickens. Semen samples were collected from KUB roosters. The research procedures involved formulation of the extender, semen collection, assessment of fresh semen, dilution, packaging, cryopreservation, storage, and subsequent assessment of cryopreserved semen. Parameters assessed in fresh, pre-cryopreservation, and post-thawed semen using computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA), included motility (total motility, progressive, static, and slow motilities), kinematics, spermatozoa morphology, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). There were four treatments: T1= control, T2= 50 mM glucose, T3= 60 mM glycine, and T4= a combination of 50 mM glucose and 60 mM glycine. Each treatment was repeated 10 times. The results showed that the addition of 60 mM glycine and the combination of 50 mM glucose and 60 mM glycine effectively preserved total motility, maintained progressive motility, and reduced damage to the bent tail during the equilibration process (prior to cryopreservation). In addition, total motility, progressive motility, DAP, DSL, DCL, VAP, VSL, VCL, STR, and LIN were significantly increased after thawing. This approach also minimized the formation of MDA. Furthermore, observations using SEM showed comparatively more intact acrosomes compared to the other treatments. In conclusion, the addition of 60 mM glycine and a combination of 60 mM glycine and 50 mM glucose to Ringer’s lactate-egg yolk extender proved to be effective in preserving the quality of domestic chicken spermatozoa during semen cryopreservation.

Abstract

Moringa oleifera is a potential plant that can be used to improve immunity, the gut health of broiler chickens, and reduce the number of pathogens in the intestine. Probiotics are non-pathogenic microbes that can balance the microflora in the digestive tract and improve poultry production performance. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the impact of adding probiotic Lactobacillus sp. and M. oleifera extract to broiler feed. In this study, a factorial, completely randomized design was used. This research used 900 animals, which were divided into two factors: the first factor was the dose of M. oleifera (0%, 1%, and 2%) and the second factor was the dose of probiotics (0%, 1 %, and 2%). The treatment was 9 (3 x 3 factorial design), with each consisting of 10 replications and each replication consisting of 10 chickens. M. oleifera extract and probiotics were supplemented in drinking water during the 5-week experimental period. Ad libitum supplies of food and drink were provided. The results revealed that there was an interaction (p<0.05) between the doses of M. oleifera extract and probiotic on leucocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, thrombocytes, and hematocrit when M. oleifera extract and probiotics were added. There was no interaction between the doses of M. oleifera extract and probiotics on the levels of lymphocytes, hemoglobin, and erythrocytes, but all blood profile values were within the normal range. The feed intake, feed conversion ratio, and daily body weight gain showed significant differences (p<0.05) that increased between treatments. It could be concluded that using M. oleifera extract and Lactobacillus sp probiotics as feed additives did not alter the normal blood profile values and could increase the performance of male broiler chickens and income over feed cost (IOFC).

Abstract

This study aimed to predict the mature size specifically for body weight, body length, height at withers, and chest circumference in Katjang X Boer crossbred goats. The parameters of the growth curve, mature size (A), mature rate (k), and constant of integration (B) were estimated using Gompertz and Logistic non-linear growth models. A total of 228 heads of female Katjang X Boer goats were raised semi-intensively- weighed and measured monthly from birth to 54 months old. The coefficient of determination (R2) was used to find the ideal growth model to estimate growth curve parameters. Gompertz’s model demonstrated higher R2 values for body weight and height at withers (0.91, 0.99, respectively) than the logistic model (0.90, 0.97), while body length was comparable at 0.98. The Logistic model R2 for chest circumference was greater than the Gompertz model (0.98 vs. 0.96). Gompertz model estimated mature size (A) for body weight, height at withers, body length, and chest circumference were 37.68±1.63 kg, 60.40±0.57 cm, 53.83±0.73, and 70.62±0.89 cm, respectively while Logistic model estimated 36.27±1.42 kg, 60.05±0.54 cm, 53.65±0.71 cm, and 70.20±0.85 cm respectively. Parameters A and k had negative correlations from -0.439 to -0.530 (Gompertz) and -0.259 to -0.474 (Logistic), showing that animals with larger mature sizes tend to grow slower. The highest correlation coefficient between body sizes is body weight-chest circumference (0.961). Thus, the Gompertz model predicts body weight and height at withers better than the Logistic model, which is fitted for chest circumference. Both models are ideal for estimating body length.

Abstract

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is an infectious vesicular disease of cloven-hoofed animals caused by the FMD virus. It is acute, highly contagious, and has a lot of genetic diversity. The aim of this study was to confirm cases diagnosed in the field as FMD virus (FMDV) infection through identification and molecular characterization based on the amplification of the VP1 gene of FMDV to provide information about serotype, virus clustering, and additional molecular scientific data on FMDV circulating in Indonesia. The samples used in this study were Madura cattle and Ongole Grade cattle, which showed clinical signs of FMD. Twenty-six samples were collected from the vesicular fluid of blister epithelial cells (tongue, gum, and hard palate), oral, and nasal swabs. Those samples underwent a screening test using the real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) method with a 3D gene target to detect FMDV infection. About 46.15% of samples (12/26) were detected as RT-qPCR positive for FMDV. Those positive results were then amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequenced using the Sanger sequencing technique targeting the VP1 gene fragment of the FMDV. The sequencing results were analyzed by the Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software X version, which includes assembly, alignment using ClustalW, amino acid prediction, genetic distance, and phylogenetic tree construction. The result showed that amino acid sequence variations were found in this gene, including at positions 96, 99, 129, 134, 138, 140, 156, 158, and 197, and no changes were found either at the critical amino acid sites at positions 144 (V), 148 (L), 154 (K), and 208 (P) or in the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) motif at positions 145–147. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that FMD viruses detected in this study were identified as serotype “O”, topotype “Middle East South Asia (ME-SA)”, lineage “Ind-2001”, and sub-lineage “e” (O/ME-SA/Ind-2001e), which have high homology to the VP1 gene (99–100%) between the viruses studied and the viruses found at the beginning of the FMD outbreak in Indonesia in 2022.

Abstract

The Bone Morphogenetic Protein 15 (BMP15) and Growth Differentiation Factor 9 (GDF9) genes play important roles in follicular development, ovulation rate, and litter size in goats. This study aimed to investigate polymorphisms (SNP) in the coding sequences of BMP15 and GDF9 genes and to find possible associations between identified polymorphisms and reproductive traits in Bangladesh’s Black Bengal goat (BBG). In total, 85 DNA samples of BBG were utilized for PCR amplification, gene fragments sequencing, and subsequent association studies using a generalized linear model implemented by R software. Sequence analysis revealed three SNPs (g.5875A>G, g.6051G>A, and g.6124C>G) in the exon 2 of the BMP15 gene, having one nonsynonymous mutation (g.6124C>G) that changed amino acid glutamic acid to glutamine (E270Q). Besides, the g.3764C>T polymorphism identified in the GDF9 gene was nonsynonymous in nature, changing the amino acid alanine to valine (A273V). The association analysis revealed that litter size and kidding interval differed significantly (p<0.05) for g.6051G>A and g.6124C>G SNP genotypes of the BMP15 gene in the BBG population. Besides, the combined genotypes derived from three BMP15 polymorphisms also significantly affected average litter size and at the 3rd parity. However, the g.3764C>T SNP genotypes of the GDF9 gene showed significant association with only average service per conception. Taken together, the identified SNPs of BMP15 and GDF9 genes showed potentials that could be used as molecular markers for improving the reproductive traits of BBG.

Abstract

Beef production in Indonesia has experienced a decline after the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an expanding gap between the supply and demand of beef. This widening gap has resulted in an increased reliance on beef imports, which in turn impacts domestic food stability. This study examines the impact of import policies on the supply and demand of beef both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing secondary data related to beef production, consumption, and prices, officially released by relevant ministries or institutions, the analysis was conducted using an econometric model with a simultaneous system equation. The results show that implementing a policy to decrease beef imports while concurrently increasing imports of feeder after the pandemic can enhance beef production by 25%, surpassing levels observed before the COVID-19 pandemic. Such a policy will lead to a decrease in the national beef supply, although demand will remain unchanged during both periods. By using a simultaneous equation system approach that links the dimensions of beef production and consumption, this study offers comprehensive insights for policymakers in designing policies and programs to increase Indonesia’s beef production.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of replacing antibiotics with increasing doses of chitosan (CHI) on nutrient intake and digestibility, corn grain excretion, ruminal fermentation, nitrogen metabolism, and feeding behavior in finishing steers fed forage-free diets. Five ruminally cannulated crossbred steers were assigned to a 5 x 5 Latin square experimental design and given the following diets: C0= basal diet with no additives, ANT= basal diet with inclusion of virginiamycin 30 mg/kg DM, C375= basal diet with inclusion of chitosan 375 mg/kg DM, C750= basal diet with inclusion of chitosan 750 mg/kg DM, and C1500= basal diet with inclusion of chitosan 1500 mg/kg DM. Supplementation with CHI did not affect ruminal pH and ammonia nitrogen (N-NH3) concentration. Chitosan quadratically affected corn grain excretion and molar proportion of ruminal butyrate, with greater values for C750. Animals fed C375 showed greater dry matter intake and neutral detergent fiber intake; and greater digestibility of DM, starch, and NDF. Animals fed C750 and C1500 diets presented greater absorbed N compared to ANT. Animals fed ANT, C750, and C1500 spent more time eating and chewing than animals fed CON. More specifically, the dose of 375 mg/kg DM of diet was very promising for steers fed free-forage diet due to its ability to improve nutrient digestibility, with only slight changes in N metabolism.

Abstract

Endometritis is an important factor in cattle fertility. Pathogenicity and the development of numerous reproductive diseases are directly related to bacterial imbalance in the genital tract. A commercial antibiotic can be relatively costly and can disrupt the animal’s usual gut microflora; instead of plant medicals. The aim of this study was to develop an effective artificial insemination (AI) gel from traditional Thai herbs that exhibit bacterial inhibition. Twenty-four female Thai native cattle were divided into two groups: endometritis and healthy. Uterine swabs were isolated, identified, and tested for bacterial biofilm formation in vitro. Brucella ovis, Campylobacter fetus, Helicobacter trogontum, and Arcobacter cryaerophilus were found in female genitalia with endometritis based on weak biofilm information. Garcinia mangostana Linn. and Achyranthes aspera Linn. extracts were tested for antibacterial activity using agar dilution assay. A 10 µg/mL concentration of both extracts in combination was effective against the mixed bacterial isolation. The specific AI gel with those extracts was then developed (so-called GA-Gel) in vivo. The combined extracts inhibited the endometritis bacteria that expressed antimicrobial activity in vivo. Their hematological profiles indicated that the total white blood cells, neutrophils, and lymphocytes counts decreased (p≤0.05). Compared to healthy cattle, the treated cattle had no significant difference in the levels of aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine. Both in vivo and in vitro indicated that the GA-Gel was effective for the prevention of an increase of bacteria and can be potentially developed to be an efficient AI gel.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of combining phytogenic Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb powder with C. xanthorizza standardized extract or with Anredera cordifolia leaf powder in an antibiotic-free diet on the egg production, red and white blood cell profile, fecal endoparasite, serum biochemistry, and intestinal and liver histopathology of Japanese quails. Four hundred eight-month-old Japanese quails were raised in 5-tier cages, randomly allocated into four treatments, namely: T0 (standard diet), T1 (standard diet plus 1% C. aeruginosa Roxb rhizome powder), T2 (standard diet plus 1% C. aeruginosa Roxb rhizome powder and C. aeruginosa extract (equal to 200 ppm standardized curcumin), and T3 (standard diet plus 1% C. aeruginosa Roxb powder and 1% A. cordifolia leaf powder). The data were analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA). Duncan’s test was carried out at a 5% significant level when a significant effect was found. The results showed that weekly egg production was not affected by phytogenic addition, but egg production significantly increased on the last day of treatment (p<0.05). Combining 1% C. aeruginosa Roxb and 1% A. cordifolia significantly increased (p<0.05) erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocytes, lymphocytes, serum glucose, uric acid, creatinine, and AST. However, their values remained within the normal range of Japanese quails. No endoparasites were found in the fecal samples. The addition of phytogenic did not affect the height of intestinal villi and crypt depth (p>0.05). Interestingly, intestinal inflammation levels were reduced significantly in T1 and T2 compared to the control, while T3 was the same as the control (p<0.05). An elevated liver score was found (1 score higher) in T2 (p<0.05). This study suggests that phytogenic additives can help reduce normal intestinal inflammation (due to harsh intestinal environment) and improve the performance of laying Japanese quail, especially in the absence of endoparasites or infection.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum as silage additives and their combinations on the physico-chemical and microbiological quality of Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott silage and assess fermentation characteristics, digestibility, and in vitro gas production. The experiment used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments are: T0= dwarf elephant grass silage + 3% molasses, T1= T0 + S. cerevisiae, T2= T0 + L. plantarum, and T3= T0 + S. cerevisiae + L. plantarum. Variables measured were organoleptic, physical, microbial, nutrient composition, in vitro fermentation characteristics and nutrient digestibility, as well as total gas and methane productions. The result showed that all silages had good physical quality, low pH (<3.8) and NH3 content, and high fleigh point. Inoculants decreased the percentage of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract (p<0.05), increased crude fiber, and decreased the composition of nitrogen-free extract and non-fiber carbohydrate (p<0.05) but it was able to increase Ca and P. Total gas production of T0 was the highest among treatments, while the T3 had the lowest total gas and methane productions (p<0.05). The supplementation of S. cerevisiae and L. plantarum as a silage improved organoleptic, physical, and microbiological qualities. Although the nutrient composition did not increase significantly, the combination of 2 (two) inoculants was able to improve fermentation activity in the rumen, increase total volatile fatty acid (VFA), dry matter and organic matter digestibility, reduce total gas production and the ratio of methane gas production to VFA.
