Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the financial feasibility and sensitivity of the broiler chicken farming business of the “Paguyuban Broiler Lumajang” Livestock Group in Lumajang Regency. The research employed a descriptive observational method using a survey approach, involving 20 farmers who were categorized into two groups based on partnership companies (national and multinational companies). Feasibility analysis was conducted using four key financial indicators: Net Present Value (NPV), Average Rate of Return (ARR), Benefit–Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio), and Payback Period (PP). Sensitivity analysis focused on the impact of changes in feed prices (increases of 5%, 10%, and 15%) and broiler selling prices (decreases of 5%, 10%, and 15%). The results indicated that all groups were financially feasible, with positive NPV values, ARR significantly exceeding prevailing interest rates, PP under five years, and B/C Ratio values above 1. Sensitivity analysis revealed that a decrease in broiler selling prices had a greater impact on profit generation than an increase in feed prices. In conclusion, all groups in the “Paguyuban Broiler Lumajang” were financially viable and showed strong potential for further development. Government support in stabilizing broiler prices and feed costs is essential to ensure business sustainability and farmers’ welfare.

Abstract

A 1.5-month-old domestic rabbit weighing 725 g presented with severe pancytopenia characterized by critical reductions in red blood cells (RBC: 1.00 × 10⁶/µL), white blood cells (WBC: 0.7 × 10³/µL), haemoglobin (1.7 g/dL), haematocrit (6.4%), and platelets (54 × 10³/µL). The rabbit exhibited moderate stress but remained alert and responsive. Given the life-threatening haematological status and the absence of a specific underlying disease, supportive therapy with oral ascorbic acid supplementation was initiated at 100 mg/kg/day for seven days. Post-treatment haematological evaluation demonstrated a dramatic recovery, with RBC increasing to 5.71 × 10⁶/µL, WBC to 5.4 × 10³/µL, haemoglobin to 9.9 g/dL, haematocrit to 35%, and platelets to 225 × 10³/µL. A second rabbit with more severe baseline pancytopenia (RBC: 0.40 × 10⁶/µL, WBC: 0.2 × 10³/µL) receiving identical treatment died on day six, demonstrating the prognostic significance of baseline haematological severity. This case illustrates the potential role of ascorbic acid in supporting haematopoietic recovery in juvenile rabbits with reversible bone marrow suppression and highlights the importance of early intervention before critical thresholds are exceeded. Vitamin C supplementation may represent a valuable supportive therapy in young rabbits experiencing stress-related or nutritional haematological compromise.

Abstract

Antibiotic-resistant Enterococcus is currently one of the leading causes of nosocomial infections worldwide. Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Enterococcus is an important nosocomial pathogen and represents a growing clinical challenge. This study aimed to determine the presence and characteristics of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) genes in the faeces of imported canaries (Serinus canaria) to assess their potential impact on animal health and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. A total of 150 canary faecal samples were randomly collected from a single importer. Colonies with Enterococcus-like morphology were identified at the genus level based on culture characteristics, Gram staining, catalase testing, and bile-esculin testing. Species identification was confirmed through carbohydrate fermentation tests. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed using the Kirby–Bauer method on Mueller–Hinton agar. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing was subsequently conducted to identify the vanB gene. Among the samples, 39 (26%) were positive for Enterococcus faecalis. Of these isolates, 7 (17.9%) were identified as multidrug-resistant (MDR), and 5 (71.4% of MDR isolates) were classified as VRE. One of the five VRE isolates (20%) was found to carry the vanB gene, an important determinant of vancomycin resistance. These findings indicate that imported canaries may serve as reservoirs of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria with the potential to spread to the environment, other animals, and humans through the faecal–oral route or environmental contamination.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of orally administered forest bee honey (Apis dorsata) on hematological profiles and blood glucose levels in mice (Mus musculus) using a true experimental pretest–posttest control group design. The study was conducted over 14 days, including 7 days of acclimatization followed by 7 days of treatment, with one control group and two treatment groups receiving different honey–water ratios at a dose of 0.25 mL per mouse per day. Hematological parameters (including erythrocytes, leukocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, and erythrocyte indices) were measured using a hematology analyzer, while blood glucose levels were assessed using a glucometer before and after treatment. The results showed variable and inconsistent changes in hematological parameters among treatment groups compared with the control group, with several values falling outside normal physiological ranges. This suggests a considerable influence of technical factors such as sample quality, equipment limitations, and handling-related stress. Blood glucose concentrations in both honey-treated groups generally remained within physiological limits and did not exhibit marked hyperglycemic or clearly hypoglycemic effects. However, incomplete baseline data for all animals limited the precise interpretation of treatment-related changes. Overall, oral administration of forest bee honey under the present conditions did not demonstrate a clear and consistent effect on hematological profiles or glucose regulation in mice. These findings indicate the need for further studies with larger sample sizes, complete baseline measurements, and stricter control of experimental and environmental variables to better clarify the hematological and metabolic effects of forest bee honey.

Abstract

Broiler chickens are a major source of animal protein and are highly susceptible to enteric disorders that may progress into systemic disease with multi-organ involvement. This case report aimed to describe and analyse the gross and histopathological lesions in a 30-day-old broiler chicken presenting with lethargy, anorexia, and abdominal distension, and to evaluate the possible pathological diagnosis. Diagnostic procedures included necropsy, the Rivalta test to characterise peritoneal effusion, peritoneal fluid cytology using Giemsa-stained smears, direct fecal smear examination for endoparasites, and histopathological evaluation of the duodenum, liver, and heart tissues fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Gross examination revealed white nodular lesions in the duodenum, multifocal pale discolouration in the liver, and pale areas in the heart. Histopathological findings in the duodenum showed severe mucosal damage characterised by villus rupture, epithelial necrosis with karyopyknosis, karyorrhexis, and karyolysis, as well as inflammatory infiltration. The liver exhibited hepatocellular necrosis, inflammatory infiltration dominated by polymorphonuclear cells, and vascular thrombosis, while the heart showed epicarditis and myocarditis with inflammatory cell infiltration. These pathological findings are consistent with necrotic enteritis accompanied by hepatic necrosis and myocarditis, suggesting that severe intestinal lesions may be associated with systemic involvement in broiler chickens. However, etiological confirmation was not performed, and the diagnosis is based on morphological evaluation.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate changes in the physicochemical quality of broiler chicken meat and indicators of incipient spoilage, as determined by the Eber test, obtained from conventional and modern markets in Rogojampi District, Banyuwangi. A total of sixteen samples from each market type were analyzed on days 0, 1, and 2 during chilled storage at approximately 4°C. The assessed parameters included aroma, color, texture, pH, and reactions associated with volatile basic compounds. Data with a normal distribution were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey’s or Duncan’s test, while nonparametric data were evaluated using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s test. The results showed that chicken meat from conventional markets exhibited significant quality degradation in aroma, color, texture, pH, and Eber test responses during storage (p < 0.05). Declines in aroma and color were observed from the initial day, texture degradation became apparent after one day of storage, pH values increased progressively, and positive Eber reactions indicating incipient spoilage were detected on day 2. In contrast, meat from modern markets exhibited significant changes only in aroma and color on day 2 (p < 0.05), while texture remained relatively stable (p > 0.05). Although pH values varied significantly during storage (p < 0.05), no significant spoilage-related reactions were indicated by the Eber test (p > 0.05). These findings indicate that differences in handling and storage practices accelerate quality deterioration in chicken meat from conventional markets. This study was limited to physical parameters and early spoilage indicators without direct microbiological analysis. Improved temperature control and hygiene practices in conventional markets are recommended, and future studies should include microbial profiling and cold-chain monitoring to more comprehensively assess meat safety and spoilage mechanisms.

Abstract

Feather follicle cysts are integumentary disorders commonly observed in psittacine birds and are frequently associated with repetitive mechanical trauma or abnormal feather growth. This case study aimed to describe the clinical findings, diagnostic workup, and surgical management of a feather follicle cyst in a one-year-old blue-and-yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) treated at the Rumah Sakit Hewan Pendidikan Universitas Airlangga. The bird presented with a three-week history of progressive, oval-shaped swelling on the left wing following repetitive self-inflicted feather damage. Trauma was the suspected, although not definitively confirmed, primary predisposing factor based on the clinical history of feather-destructive behavior and prior veterinary-supervised feather plucking. Surgical excision was performed under local anesthesia using lidocaine infiltration (2%, 2 mg/kg), and the excised tissue was submitted for histopathological examination, which confirmed the diagnosis. The surgical site was closed using absorbable polyglycolic acid (PGA) sutures. Postoperative management included intramuscular ampicillin sodium (Viccillin®, 10–20 mg/kg, q12h, for 7 days), intramuscular diphenhydramine HCl (Recodryl®, 2–4 mg/kg, q12h, for 3 days), intramuscular dexamethasone (0.5–1 mg/kg, q24h, for 3 days), and oral vitamin supplementation (Neurobion® and Sangobion®). Progressive clinical improvement was observed during a structured four-week follow-up period, with complete wound healing by week three, early feather regrowth at four weeks, and no recurrence at eight weeks post-surgery. This case highlights the importance of systematic differential diagnosis, histopathological confirmation, and the combination of surgical excision with multimodal pharmacological management in young psittacines presenting with wing-associated feather follicle cysts in a Southeast Asian clinical setting.

Abstract

Antibiotics are commonly used to treat vibriosis in shrimp. However, their prolonged use at high doses may lead to the development of antibiotic resistance. As a preventive measure against antibiotic resistance, the use of natural antibacterial agents is required. Bajakah tampala root (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk) has been reported to possess antibacterial properties. This study employed six treatment groups: a positive control using a tetracycline antibiotic disc, a negative control using distilled water and CMC-Na, and four treatment groups (P1, P2, P3, and P4) treated with Bajakah tampala root extract (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk) at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, respectively. After treatment, the diameters of the inhibition zones were measured. The data obtained were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, followed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that treatment P4, with a 100% concentration of Bajakah tampala root extract (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk), produced an inhibition zone diameter comparable to that of the positive control.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern affecting both human and veterinary medicine. Escherichia coli is commonly used as an indicator organism for evaluating antibiotic resistance because of its ability to acquire and disseminate resistance genes. Captive wildlife, such as non-human primates, may act as reservoirs of resistant bacteria at the human–animal interface. This study aimed to determine the antibiotic resistance patterns of E. coli isolated from the feces of proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) at Surabaya Zoo, Indonesia. A descriptive laboratory-based study was conducted using 13 E. coli isolates obtained from fresh fecal samples. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines. The antibiotics tested included amoxicillin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ceftazidime, levofloxacin, and tetracycline. Isolates resistant to three or more classes of antimicrobials were classified as multidrug-resistant (MDR). All isolates (100%) were resistant to amoxicillin and ceftazidime. Resistance to levofloxacin was observed in 23.1% of isolates, whereas resistance to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline was each observed in 15.4% of isolates. Overall, 38.5% of the isolates were classified as MDR. The high prevalence of β-lactam resistance and the presence of multidrug-resistant E. coli in captive proboscis monkeys suggest that zoological institutions may serve as reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus infections remain a significant problem in human and veterinary medicine, particularly due to the increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance. The use of natural materials as alternative antibacterial agents is a potential solution. This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of bajakah tampala root extract (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk.) against the growth of Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. This study was a laboratory experimental study using a post-test-only control group design. Bajakah tampala root extract (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk.) was prepared at concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using the disc diffusion method on Mueller–Hinton Agar (MHA). Erythromycin was used as a positive control. The observed parameter was the diameter of the inhibition zone after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C. Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test. The results showed that bajakah tampala root extract (Spatholobus littoralis Hassk.) inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus at all tested concentrations. The diameter of the inhibition zone increased with increasing extract concentration, with the 100% concentration producing the greatest inhibition. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the treatment groups and the control (p < 0.05).
