Abstract

The nasal sample of a suspected respiratory tract disease cat, which is characterized by having a yellowish-colored nasal discharge, was obtained from a clinic in Ho Chi Minh City to be brought to the laboratory using the Stuart Amies transport medium. Samples were isolated on blood agar plate (BAP) media anaerobically. Gram staining and catalase tests were performed to identify the bacterial species. Furthermore, we conducted antibiotic sensitivity tests using Mueller-Hinton Agar (MHA) media, which included Tetracycline, Gentamicin, Marbofloxacin, and Amoxicilin-Clavulanate antibiotic disks. In order to prescribe an antibiotic, a clinical vet must go through a series of decision-making processes that involve both the drug and the host. In this case study, we were performing the diagnostic process before a medication could be prescribed to a patient with suspected respiratory tract disease.

Abstract

Geriatric and Portosystemic shunts could increase the risk of anaesthetic drug toxicity during cystotomy in dogs experiencing urolithiasis. The study reviewed the use of anaesthesia in cystotomy in dogs, from case reports published during the period between 2012-2022, retreived using the Google Scholar search engine. Inclusion criteria for the review involved a detailed description of the examinations and treatments. Ten articles were reviewed and showed that the most frequently used premedication, - induction anaesthesia, and maintenance anaesthetic agents were Xylazine, Ketamine, and Isoflurane, consecutively. In geriatric cases, Atropine Sulphate, Diazepam and Xylazine were used as premedication, while Ketamine and Propofol were used as induction anaesthesia. In large breeds, Xylazine, Meloxicam, Atropine Sulphate, Diazepam, and Buprenorphine were used as premedication, while Ketamine, Diazepam, and Propofol were used as – induction anaesthesia, and Isoflurane was used as maintenance anaesthesia. Considerations in using anaesthesia in different medical conditions are discussed.

Abstract

A humeral fracture is a discontinuity of the humeral bone due to an injury or illness. A three-year-old black mongrel female dog weighing 12.5 kg was brought to the Jungle Veterinary Clinic in Bekasi City, Indonesia, due to lameness and swelling in the left front limb. The radiological examination indicated an oblique fracture of the distal diaphysis of the left humerus. Haematological and biochemistry tests indicated neutrophilia, leukocytosis, and decreased erythrocyte, haemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV and MCH levels, while the levels of globulin and ALP were elevated. An orthopaedic surgery was performed using cerclage wires in conjunction with the intramedullary pin approach to immobilize the fracture. Post-surgery medical treatments were oral Amoxicillin 20 mg/kg, tramadol 5 mg/kg, meloxicam 0.1 mg/kg, Curcuma™ ½ tablet, Sangobion™ ½ tablet, and Kalmicetin™ ointment for topical wound dressing twice a day. The surgical wound healed and front leg function improved seven days after surgery

Abstract

This research aimed to identify ectoparasites infecting farmed striped catfish in Karangpilang Surabaya, Indonesia. Individual catfishes with visible lesions on the body surface and abnormal behaviors were included in the study. Mucilage samples of 90 fishes were examined under a microscope for the presence of ectoparasite on the body surface of the fish, in the area of gills, skins, fins, and tails. Gills were cut with scissors and combed with a tweezer. Skin and fin were also scrapped with a sterile scalpel. The mucus obtained was put on an object glass and was observed under the microscope. The fish pond water was analysed for Oxygen Demand (DO), pH and temperature three times two weeks apart, starting from the day of fish sampling. Results showed that 42.2% (n=90) of samples were infected by ectoparasites. The ectoparasites identified were Gyrodactylus sp., Dactylogyrus sp., Trichodina sp. and Chilodonella sp. Fish pond water in the study site was of suitable quality for the growth of catfish. This study suggested that pathogens other than ectoparasites play roles in the development of pathologic conditions of stripped catfishes in the study area.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify endoparasitic species and their prevalence in dairy cows in the Probolinggo, Indonesia. This survey was conducted in the Cooperation of Argopuro, in the hill side of Krucil district, Probolinggo regency, during rainy season from March until July 2020. Faecal samples were collected (n=100), and three fecal examinations were performed for parasite identification: native, sedimentation, and flotation techniques. Results showed that the prevalence of endoparasitosis was 56%; 29% was due to helminthiases and the other 37% was of Balantidium coli. Fasciola sp., Oesophagostomum sp., Gaigeria pachyscelis, Toxocara vitulorum, Mecistocirrus digitatus, Chabertia sp. were among the helminths detected. The Lucient Brump test indicated that among samples infected with helminths (n=29), 89.7% were mild, 6.9% were moderate and 3.4% were severely infected. Further, the study estimated that the level of burden with Balantidium coli was identified to be mild in 62.2%, moderate in 32.4%, and severe in 5.4% of the positive samples, respectively (n=37). This study indicates that during the commencement of the rainy season, the campaign of effective endoparasitic control could be advisable in the study area

Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is steadily increasing. According to the International Diabetes Federation in 2021, the number of diabetes sufferers in Indonesia has rapidly increased in the last ten years. This study aims to determine the effect of red betel leaf extract (Piper crocatum) on kidney histopathology of Wistar white rats (Rattus norvegicus) induced by alloxan. A total of 25 white male Wistar rats aged ± 3 months were used in this study. All samples were divided randomly into five treatment groups, namely: (K-) healthy rats that were only given distilled water; (K+) given a single dose of alloxan 120 mg/kg bw/intraperitoneal; (P1) rats given alloxan 120 mg/kgbw/intraperitoneally and red betel leaf extract 100 mg/kg bw/orally; (P2) rats given alloxan 120 mg/kg bw/intraperitoneally and red betel leaf extract 150 mg/kg bw/orally; (P3) rats were given alloxan 120 mg/kgbw/intraperitoneally and red betel leaf extract 200 mg/kg bw/orally. Treatment was given for 14 days. Blood glucose levels were measured using the Glucometer (EZ Smart) colorimeter method. On the day 15th, all rat were euthanized and necropsied to remove the kidneys and then made into preparations with HE staining. The histopathological lesions observed were necrosis, degeneration, and inflammatory cell infiltration. Histopathological observations were carried out using a microscope with 40x magnification. Data resulting from observations were analyzed using SPSS 20 with Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney (P≤0.05). It revealed that red betel leaf extract has a potential ability to reduce the effects of hyperglycemia, and by inducing 2% of red betel leaf extract at dose of 100 mg/kg bw, 150 mg/kg bw, and 200 mg/kg bw could reduce necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, and degeneration significantly in the kidneys of white rats.

Abstract

Bovine xenografting is a method of grafting bovine bones to other species. This study aimed to determine the effect of the administration of bovine xenografts on accelerated healing in domestic dogs with femoral fractures. This study used a total of 4 dogs (two individuals as the treatment group and other two as the control group) diagnosed with diaphyseal femoral fractures. The bovine xenograft in the form of hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)) was synthesized in this study. The femur fracture surgery was carried out using the open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) method, followed by the administration of 10 grams of Hydroxyapatite powder from the bovine bone in the fracture area, in the treatment group. The control group was not treated with Hydroxyapatite. Radiographic examinations were carried out on days 0, 14, and 45 post-operation. The parameters observed included the formation of radiopaque mass on the radiographic imaging, indicating the formation of calli around the fracture area. The radiographic examination showed that in the treatment group, the radiopaque mass was apparent on day 14 post-operation while it was not observable in the control group. On day 45 post-operation, the mass was more clearly visible in the treatment group, while it was barely visible in the control group. This research indicated that bovine xenograft has the potential to accelerate the fracture healing process in domestic dogs

Abstract

Avian influenza virus subtype H9N2 (AIV-H9N2) has been a concern for poultry health in the last 20 years. The virus emerged in domestic poultry in the mid-1990s and has been reported in several Asian countries, including Myanmar. AI subtype H9N2 caused huge economic losses to the poultry industry in the form of respiratory distress and 25% weight loss in broiler chickens. This study discusses the administration of Avian Influenza (AI) H9N2 strain inactivated vaccine to commercial broiler chickens at JAPFA COMFEED Myanmar Pte Ltd. The vaccination process was carried out through subcutaneous injection in the neck and intramuscular injection in the pectoralis musculus in the chest area of chickens at 11 days of age, with a dose of 0.5 ml per chicken. The vaccine used was VAKSIMUNE® AI H9 which uses oil as the emulsion material. Results from the HI serology test showed that 6 cages from Myothar and Wah Net Chaung farms showed protective antibody titers against Avian Influenza H9N2 virus at 30-40 days of age, with normal titer values or ≥24. This indicates that the AI subtype H9N2vaccine used is an effective antigen, capable of stimulating the broiler immune system, and has implications for increasing antibodies every week. This study contributes to the understanding of AI H9N2 vaccination management in commercial broilers at JAPFA COMFEED Myanmar Pte Ltd. With positive results in the serology test, it can be concluded that vaccination using VAKSIMUNE® AI H9 is effective in protecting broilers from Avian Influenza H9N2 infection, providing strong support to the sustainability of production and animal health in a commercial farm environment.

Abstract

The use of paracetamol in excessive doses can increase the hepatotoxicity effect, which causes acute hepatocellular injury. Dewa leaves (Gynura pseudochina (L.) DC) contain flavonoids, saponin, and tannin. This study aimed to determine the effect of ethanol extract from dewa leaves in reducing the impact of paracetamol induction on SGPT and SGOT levels and liver histology of white rats (Rattus norvegicus). The test was grouped into five treatment groups, namely: normal control; negative control with paracetamol induction 315mg/KgBW; Dewa leaf extract was administered with three variations in dosage, namely 3.15mg/KgBW, 3.50mg/KgBW and 3.85mg/KgBW and each treatment group consisted of 5 rats as replications. Dewa leaf extract was administered to the experimental animal, followed by the administration of paracetamol 8 hours after the extract was given orally; both treatments were given for 14 days. Measurement of SGPT and SGOT levels uses the photometric method. The hepatoprotective effect was further verified by histopathology of the liver. Liver histology was made using the paraffin method. SGPT levels, SGOT levels, and Hepatocyte Damage Scores were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA); if the results are significant, continue with the Least Significance Difference (LSD) test at a significance level of 5%. The results of this study show that the administration of dewa leaf extract was not able to significantly reduce SGPT and SGOT levels in rats. The administration of dewa leaf extract at doses of 3.50mg/KgBW and 3.85mg/KgBW significantly prevented histological damage to rat livers.
