Abstract

A 12-year-old Beagle dog weighing 7.7 kg was brought to the Brawijaya University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in a state of dehydration, lethargy, and jaundice. On the 2nd day of hospitalization, the dog had mucopurulent discharge from the vagina. From the results of a complete blood count and ultrasonography (USG), the patient was diagnosed with pyometra and was treated with an ovariohysterectomy. After surgery the dogs was given cefotaxime 10 mg/kg bw, meloxicam 0.2 mg/kg bw, 0.9 ml vitamin K, and supportive therapy with Biodin® 0.5 mL and Modivitasan® 0.5 mL. Pyometra infection causes progesterone levels to rise, thereby triggering mammary gland tumor. On the 23rd day of hospitalization, a lump was found in the mammary gland. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) results showed the presence of Mott cells. The mammary gland tumor was treated with a single mastectomy. Mastectomy was performed when the dog was in stable condition, about a month after the ovariohysterectomy. Ovariohysterectomy and mastectomy were not performed simultaneously due to consideration of the patient's clinical condition, which made it impossible to get prolonged exposure to anesthesia. Post-mastectomy surgery the dogs were given cefixime 10 mg/kg bw, the analgesic meloxicam 0.2 mg/kg BW, and Biodin® 0.5 ml as supportive therapy. The postoperative wound healed well without complications. The patient recovered after one month of treatment.

Abstract

Livestock production requires Sapudi rams, a breed native to Indonesia, to meet meat demand and food security. In artificial high-quality frozen semen is needed to spread Sapudi rams. To maximize the survival of spermatozoa during cryopreservation, semen should be stored in an extender. Green tea leaf extract (GTLE) and skim milk-goat egg yolk (SM-GEY) may be a good cryoprotectants due to their antioxidant properties. This study aimed to determine the effect of adding GTLE to the SM-GEY extender on the quality of Sapudi ram spermatozoa stored at 5°C. The fresh semen sample was divided into four different GTLE treatment groups, which each contained a 0.1 mL semen sample and a 25-mL extender of SM-GEY. Group T0: no GTLE added to SM-GEY; Groups T1, T2, and T3: 0.1 mL semen diluted in 25 mL SM-GEY with 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mg GTLE. Extended semen was then stored at 5°C, and its quality was evaluated daily for five days. The variables observed included spermatozoa motility, viability, and membrane integrity. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance followed by Duncan's test using Statistical Program and Service Solution version 23. The result of this study was that adding 0.05 mg GTLE to 25 mL of SM-GEY extender significantly maintained the spermatozoa motility, viability, and plasma membrane integrity of Sapudi ram spermatozoa for three days at 5°C (p <0.05). Therefore, it could be concluded that adding 0.05 mg of GTLE to the SM-GEY extender preserved Sapudi ram spermatozoa's motility, viability, and membrane integrity for three days at 5°C.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the addition of duck egg yolk in skim milk – fructose extender on sperm motility and viability of Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) at 5°C storage. Ejaculates of Muscovy duck were divided into four portions equally. The first portion was for the control group (diluted in skim milk – fructose extender), and the second, third, and fourth portions were for the treatment groups of T1, T2, and T3 (diluted in skim milk – fructose extender added with 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5% v/v duck egg yolk). Sperm motility and viability were evaluated two hourly until the motility percentage reached 40%. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan test. The result showed that the highest percentage of spermatozoa motility and viability (p<0.05) was in the T2 group compared to the other groups. It could be concluded that the Muscovy duck semen extended in skim milk - fructose with 2.5 to 7.5% egg yolk of duck qualified for artificial insemination at storage up to 10 hours in 5°C storage.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the differences in reproduction performance of Ongole cross (PO), Limousine cross (Limpo), and Simmental cross (Simpo) in Kerek district, Tuban regency. Primary data was taken by interviewing inseminators and farmers, while secondary data was taken from the Fisheries and Animal Husbandry Department of Tuban regency. The total sample was 360 cows consisting of 30 PO, Limpo, and Simpo cows aged 3, 4, 5, and 6 years respectively which were calculated based on the Roscoe formula. Data was analyzed using the Simple Linear Regression and ANOVA followed by Duncan's multiple range test at a significance level of 95%. The results showed that the services per conception (S/C), conception rate (CR), and calving rate (CvR) were not significantly different (p >0.05) between PO, Limpo and Simpo cows. Meanwhile, days open (DO) and fertility status (FS) of PO cows were higher (p <0.05) than Limpo and Simpo cows. There was no significant difference (p >0.05) in DO and FS between Limpo and Simpo cows. The linear equation with age as a predictor (X) of S/C, DO, and CI (Y) values were not significant (p >0.05) in PO, Limpo, and Simpo cows. It could be concluded that the reproductive performance of PO cows was better than Limpo and Simpo cows.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the administration of white guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruit juice on spermatozoa plasma membrane integrity (PMI), morphological abnormality, viability, and motility of lead acetate induced rats (Rattus norvegicus). Twenty-five male rats were divided into five groups: NC (negative control) group, rats were administered with distilled water twice daily at four-hour intervals; T0 (positive control) group, rats were administered daily with lead acetate 50 mg/kg bw and distilled water four hours later; T1, T2, and T3 groups, rats were administered daily with lead acetate 50 mg/kg bw and 0.5 mL of 25, 50, and 100% white guava fruit juice four hours later. The treatment of the rats was conducted for 14 days, and on day 15, all rats were sacrificed to assess the spermatozoa quality. Data was analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan's multiple range test at a confidence level of 95%. The results showed that exposure to lead acetate (T0) caused lower spermatozoa PMI, viability, and motility as well as higher spermatozoa morphological abnormalities (p <0.05) compared to those of the T0 group. Administration of white guava fruit juice starting at a dose of 25% (T1) resulted in higher spermatozoa motility, viability, and PMI as well as lower spermatozoa morphological abnormalities (p <0.05) compared to rats in the T0 group. It could be concluded that white guava fruit juice maintained the spermatozoa quality of lead acetate induced rats.

Abstract

This research aims to determine reproductive data on Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) in the ETC and ERU of Way Kambas National Park, Indonesia during 1988-2021. Data recorded from the elephant population at both locations (ETC and ERU) includes the number, gender of elephants, elephant calves, ages and birth dates. Calving intervals and service periods were calculated from calving records of cows with a minimum parity of two. Data collection produced data on 47 elephant calves from 13 female elephants with at least twice the parity and 12 primiparous cows. Elephant reproductive records at ETC and ERU were: age (37.44 ± 9.03 vs. 29.75 ± 3.30 years), parity (2.78 ± 1.09 vs. 2.50 ± 0.58), and age at first birth (18, 11 ± 3.92 vs. 17.75 ± 0.50 years). While the calving interval was 1857.56 ± 870.81 vs. 1833.00 ± 305.18 days, and service period respectively 1229.44 ± 846.18 vs. 1210.50 ± 283.59 days, respectively. It can be concluded that the calving interval and service period for captive elephants at ETC and ERU were not much different and were within the normal range. Young cows showed better reproductive efficiency than older cows. Monitoring calves is very important. Further assistance is needed to improve elephant mobile veterinary services, increase diagnostic laboratory capacity, and educate camp managers, veterinary assistants, and mahouts about elephant diseases, their monitoring and treatment. In addition, the use of reproductive technology such as monitoring ovulation using ultrasound and carrying out artificial insemination was expected to increase reproductive efficiency.

Abstract

The placenta is considered retained when it cannot separate from the uterus beyond the normal time limit. Physiologically, a cow's placenta comes out 3-8 hours postpartum. This study aims to determine the diagnosis and treatment of retained placenta in dairy cows using vitamin E and selenium as supportive treatment. On physical examination the patient had a body temperature of 39.9°C, was weak, unable to stand, and had decreased appetite. General examination in this case showed the following clinical symptoms: the placenta was still hanging from the vulva and there was an unpleasant odor from the vulva area. The retained placenta was removed manually, followed by flushing the uterus with 0.2% povidone iodine (in water). Antibiotic (Colibact bolus) were introduced into the uterus and penicillin-streptomycin was injected intramuscularly along with vitamin E and selenium as supportive treatment. The results showed that the cow recovered and returned to estrus 14 days after therapy. It could be concluded that injections of vitamin E and selenium helped restore the estrous cycle in cows with retained placenta.

Abstract

Peganum harmala is one of the most used plants for the treatment of many diseases. Its effective compounds have pharmaceutical and medicinal properties. This study aims to determine the effect of aqueous extract of harmala plant seeds on body and liver weight, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), and the histological structure of liver of mice, as well as the size of the fetuses sired by treated mice. Sixteen adult male mice were divided into two groups of eight. The first group (control) was given distilled water orally, while the second group received the aqueous extract of harmala seeds at a dose of 300 mg/kg bw for three weeks. three untreated females were housed with one treated male for mating. At the end of the treatment, six male mice of each group were weighed and killed. Liver was extracted, weighed and its enzymes were measured. Also, sections of the liver were prepared for histological examination. The results showed a decrease in the body weight of the treated mice and a significant increase in the average weight of the fetuses compared with the control group, as well as marked changes in the hepatic tissue structure. There was no impact of the extract on fetal body length, liver weight and hepatic enzymes (AST and ALT) of treated mice.  Further studies should be conducted to determine a safe dose that does not affect any organ in the body, so that it can be used for the treatment of many diseases.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of porang (Amorphophallus oncophyllus) tuber extract on the histopathological features of the testicle of alloxan induced rats (Rattus norvegicus). Thirty male rats were randomly divided into six groups. Rats in group C- were injected with distilled water, while rats in groups C+, T0, T1, T2, and T3 were injected with 120 mg/kg bw alloxan. Blood glucose was measured three days after alloxan injection. Rats in groups C- and C+ were then administered with 1% Na-CMC, whereas rats in groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 were then administered with 45mg/kg bw metformin, and 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg bw of porang tuber extract, respectively. All solution were given orally once every day for 14 days. Spermatogenic activity was assessed using the Johnsen scoring system and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis, followed by the Mann-Whitney test. The diameter and epithelial thickness of the seminiferous tubule were measured using image raster software and analyzed using Anova followed by Duncan's test. The results showed that spermatogenesis score, diameter, and epithelial thickness of seminiferous tubule of group C+ were smaller (p <0.05) than group C-. Spermatogenesis scores of groups T0, T1, T2, and T3 were higher (p <0.05) than group C+. Seminiferous tubule diameter and epithelial thickness in groups T0, T1, and T2 were greater (p <0.05) than group C+. It could be concluded that porang tuber extract at a dose of 200 mg/kg bw improved the spermatogenesis score, diameter seminiferous tubule, and thickness of the epithelium of diabetic rats.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the reproductive performance of the Ongole cross (PO) and Ongole-Limousin cross (Limpo) on smallholder farmer in Bekri district, Central Lampung regency, Lampung province, a Indonesia. This study used 30 PO cows, 30 Limpo F1 (first filial) cows and 30 Limpo F2 cows. Sample cows had at least two parities and had never had a history of reproductive disorders. This study used primary and secondary data related to sample cows. Primary data was obtained from interviews with farmers and secondary data was obtained from the Department of Plantations, Livestock and Fisheries of Central Lampung regency, and inseminator recording. Data were described descriptively and analyzed using a one-way Analysis of Variance in Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 23. The result showed that the services per conception of Limpo F2 cows was higher (p <0.05) than for PO and Limpo F1 cows. Days open and calving interval for Limpo cows (F1 and F2) were longer (p <0.05) than for PO cows. Days open and calving interval for Limpo F1 cows were not significantly different (p >0.05) than for Limpo F2 cows. Reproductive performance of PO cows was better compared to Limpo F1 and Limpo F2 cows. However, there was a data discrepancy between reproductive performance and data on rearing systems, feed quality, and signs of estrus observed by farmers. It could be concluded that PO cows had better reproductive performance than Limpo cows.
