Abstract

Background: Repeat breeding is a notable reproductive problem where cows do not conceive after several insemination attempts, and it is typically defined as three or more unsuccessful attempts. This results in reduced reproductive efficiency, lower economic sustainability of the dairy farm, and decreased milk quality in dairy cattle.  Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in milk quality in Friesian Holstein (FH) dairy cows subjected to repeat breeding at KUD Tani Wilis Sendang, Tulungagung Regency, focusing on the milk’s density, as well as fat, Total Solid (TS), and Solid Non-Fat (SNF) content. Method:  Thirty-two milk samples were collected, including 10 from normal cows for comparison. The samples were analyzed using a Lactoscan to examine the density, fat content, total solid (TS), and solid non-fat (SNF) of milk. The data was subjected to Independent T-Test analysis. Results: The results revealed significant differences (p<0.05) between repeat breeding and normal cow milk samples in terms of specific gravity, fat content, and Total Solids (TS), but not in Solid Non-Fat (SNF). Repeat breeding cow milk exhibited a higher specific gravity (1.0282 vs. 1.0260) but lower fat content (1.08% vs. 4.18%) and Total Solids (9.38% vs. 12.73%) compared to normal cow milk. However, there was no significant difference for Solid Non-Fat (8.36% for repeat breeding vs. 8.55% for normal cows). Conclusion: Repeat breeding cow milk showed increased specific gravity but decreased fat content and Total Solids compared to normal cow milk, while Solid Non-Fat remained relatively consistent.

Abstract

Background: Camel mange, a highly infectious and itchy condition brought on by Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli, can be spread through direct and indirect contact. It is one of the most significant parasitic diseases affecting camels, severely impacting their productivity and health, with substantial economic consequences. Purpose: Assessing the prevalence of camel mange mites and identifying potential risk factors.  Method:  This cross-sectional study was carried out between June 2023 and February 2024 in the Benadir region of Somalia. A total of 384 camels were randomly selected for skin scrapings, with samples from suspected lesions being microscopically examined. Results:  Of these, 82 camels (21%) were infested with mange mites, with Sarcoptes scabiei var. cameli identified as the only mite species. The research uncovered that the condition of the body, the size of the herd, and age substantially influenced the prevalence of mange mites (p<0.05), while district, sex, and age had no significant effect on infestation rate (p>0.05). Conclusion:  The results suggest that mange mite infestations in the camel populations in the Benadir region negatively affect their health and productivity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve management practices and conduct further research and control measures to mitigate the effects of mange mite infestations on camel husbandry.

Abstract

Background: Rodents are known to be a source of foodborne diseases; however, few researchers have examined rodent faeces. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of foodborne Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli (E. coli) and the risk factors associated with rodents and shrews in five wards from Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania. Method:  A total of 148 rodents and shrews were captured from domestic, peri-domestic, and marketplace settings. This study isolated bacteria from faeces samples collected from rodents and shrews using a culture test, and identified them using biochemical tests. Molecular tests were used to screen out bacteria-targeted genes. Questionnaires were also used to assess the risk factors of foodborne Salmonella spp. and E. coli associated with house rodents and shrews. Results:  Salmonella enterica was detected in 3/148 (2%), and E. coli was found in 54/148 (36.5%) of the samples. Regarding habitat, a high prevalence of E. coli was observed in open markets, at 16.9%, while Salmonella enterica was high inside households, at 1.3%. The results show that 83% of respondents found rodents feces in uncooked or cooked food, 30.4% found rodents feces in the water storage, 93.2% found food eaten by a rodent, and 66.9% of households used food contaminated with feces or eaten by rats. Conclusion:  The study shows that rodents and shrews carry foodborne pathogens like Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli in Morogoro municipality, Tanzania, posing serious public health risks. The rodents had high rates of E. coli and low Salmonella enterica, with risk factors linked to food and water contamination.

Abstract

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite that causes a zoonotic infection known as toxoplasmosis. Felid vertebrates including cats serve as the definitive hosts of T. gondii and rodents and shrews are among the common intermediate and reservoir hosts. Little is known about the infection in both humans and animals despite the high interaction between humans and cats on the island. Purpose: This study aimed at determining the prevalence of T. gondii infection in rodents, shrews and cats in Unguja Island, Zanzibar. Method:  The study employed a cross-sectional design. A total of 366 small mammals (230 rodents, 43 shrews and 93 cats) were captured and blood was sampled from the seven districts of Unguja Island. Serum samples were subjected to the Indirect ELISA technique with the aid of the ID Screen® Toxoplasmosis Indirect Multi-species Kit to look for antibodies directed against T. gondii. Results:  Seropositive samples were detected from one rodent species (Rattus rattus) and one shrew species (Crocidura spp.) among the six different rodent and shrew species captured. Fifty-one seropositive samples from cats were detected where eight were from pet cats and 43 from stray cats. In rodents, no significant variation was found according to species, sex and habitat (p≥0.05) but in cats, there was a significant variation between habitats (p≤0.05). Conclusion:  The study revealed the exposure status of rodents, shrews and both stray and pet cats in Unguja Island, thereby revealing the potential risk of the infection transmission to humans due to close proximity with these animals, especially cats as pets. Emphasis should be made through public health education programs about the transmission of the infection and the control measures needed to mitigate the risks.

Abstract

Background: One of the causes of the decline in the Olive ridley turtle population is the low egg hatching rate due to contamination by pathogenic fungi. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the results of the isolation and molecular identification of fungal contamination on the eggshells of olive ridley turtles that failed to hatch from three coastal waters in Bali province. Method:  Sampling was done using the purposive sampling technique. Samples of failed hatching eggshells from the coast were collected, as many as 2 eggs/semi-natural nest at TCEC. Samples were cultured on PDA media. Macroscopic and molecular identification methods were carried out to determine the species level of fungal isolates. Results:  The results showed that 10 fungal isolates were successfully collected. Isolates KL1 and SG1 had white colony surface characteristics, isolates KL4, SY2 and SY3 showed black colonies, and isolates KL2, KL3, SG2, SG3, SY4 had green colonies. Three similar isolates were sent for further molecular identification. The BLASTn results of the nucleotide sequences of isolates SY2 and SG3 showed a similarity to Aspergillus niger strain PHY105 (91%), while fungal isolate KL1 had a similarity to Fusarium solani strain 87, by 98%. Conclusion:  This study provides new information about the pathogenic fungi, Fusarium solani strain 87 and Aspergillus niger strain PHY105, which are suspected to be the cause of the hatching failure of olive ridley turtle eggs.
