Abstract

Objective: Housing and management of experimental animals are important aspects to consider alongside the welfare of experimental animals. Both are related to the behavior of animals and the results of the research to be conducted. Every laboratorian should pay attention to the management and housing of experimental animals, starting from the characteristics of cages according to the needs of the animals, sanitation that must be considered, and cage enrichment so that animals can express their natural behaviors. The focus on good management and housing aims to reduce stress on animals, create comfort and optimal care, and ensure more accurate research results.Methods: This article is based on scientific information obtained from various literature such as articles and books published from various sources in the last 10 years from 2014-2024. Data collection was carried out by searching for scientific articles and journals using the Google Scholar search engine containing the concepts being studied. Article searches were carried out using the keywords "Characteristics of Animal Housing", "Management of experimental rodents", and "Rodentia" so that the articles that appeared matched the research topic.Results: providing suitable living conditions enables animals to develop, reach maturity, reproduce, and exhibit normal behavior in both laboratory and healthy environments. Conclusions: Social animals such as rodents thrive when they have companionship. Mice and rats are active during the night, while guinea pigs are active in daylight. Cage size is adjusted to the needs of each animal so that they can engage in their natural activities. Room temperature is also considered to avoid problems for the animals. Environmental enrichment for rodent animals needs to be considered to minimize stress.

Abstract

Objective: This study specifically aimed to determine the method of sperm deposition during intracervical insemination for the artificial insemination (AI) of Donggala cattle (local cattle from Donggala regency).Methods: This study was conducted in the Donggala regency, Central Sulawesi from July to November 2017. The AI receptor was productive for Donggala cow with a body condition score (BCS) of 2-4. The success of the first AI was determined based on the conception rate (CR).Results: The results showed that the variation in BCS and the intracervical deposition location significantly affected (p <0.05) the CR of the first AI in Donggala cattle. Cows with a BCS of 4 had a higher CR (100%) when compared to a BCS of 3 (76.24%) and a BCS of 2 (74.19%).Conclusions: The sperm deposition location in cervical door IV produced a higher CR rate (95.23%) when compared to III (87.27%), II (75.00%), and I (41.02%). It suggests that the success rate of AI can be increased if the sperm deposition was placed in the cervical door IV and III.

Abstract

Objective: This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the origins of the Indian Runner duck and its development as a significant source of egg production in Indonesia. It reviews recent scientific literature on the topic, synthesizing findings from various studies.Methods: Analysis of the data reveals that the Indian Runner duck descends from the wild green-headed Mallard, which was domesticated in both mainland China and Indonesia.Results: The qualitative and quantitative traits of Indian Runner ducks are exceptionally high, making them suitable for various selection purposes. Specifically, selection processes have been implemented for egg production in Mojosari ducks, leading to the development of Mojomaster-Agrinak ducks, as well as in Alabio ducks, resulting in Alabimaster-Agrinak ducks. The crossbreeding of Mojomaster-Agrinak ducks as the male line with Alabimaster-Agrinak ducks as the female line yields superior hybrid offspring known for their auto-sexing characteristics.Conclusion: Ultimately, Mojomaster and Alabimaster ducks are recognized as superior laying duck varieties, with their interbreeding producing commercial laying ducks that exhibit auto-sexing traits at the day-old (DOD) stage.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different inclusion levels of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaf meal on carcass percentage and carcass components of broiler chickens affected by stunting syndrome.Methods: Describe briefly the main materials and methods or treatments applied including data analysis. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five dietary treatments was used: P0 = 0% (control), P1 = 4%, P2 = 6%, P3 = 8%, and P4 = 10% Moringa leaf meal. Each treatment was replicated five times. Parameters measured included final body weight, carcass percentage, and carcass components (breast, thigh, drumstick, back, and wing). Data were analyzed using ANOVA, and significant means were compared with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test.Results: The inclusion of Moringa leaf meal had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on final body weight, breast, and thigh components, and a significant effect (P<0.05) on back percentage. However, it had no significant effect (P>0.05) on overall carcass percentage, drumstick, and wing components. Stunting syndrome reduced growth performance due to abnormal physical conditions and limited nutrient utilization.Conclusions: Supplementation of Moringa leaf meal, which contains high levels of protein, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds with antibacterial and antioxidant activities, has the potential to enhance nutrient absorption, improve muscle development, and contribute to better carcass yield and quality in broiler chickens with stunting syndrome.Keywords: Broiler chicken; Carcass components; Carcass percentage; Moringa leaf meal; Stunting syndrome

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the combined of the use of Golden snail flour (Pomacea canaliculata L.) and Azolla pinnata as sources of protein and carotene to improve the quality of quail eggs. Methods: The materials used in this study were 80 five-week-old laying quails. Golden snails and Azolla pinnata were processed into flour and then mixed with other ingredients (corn, concentrate, bran, palm oil, and premix) until they reached isoprotein and isoenergy (CP = 19% and EM = 2,900 kcal/kg). A Completely Randomized Design was employed, consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replications. Differences among results were analyzed using the Duncan Test. The treatments consisted of: T0 = Control (without Golden Snails and Azolla); T1 = Using 10% Azolla pinnata; T2 = Using 10% Golden snails; P3 = Using 10% Golden snails and 10% Azolla pinnata. The observed parameters included: 1) Egg quality which encompass egg weight, egg yolk index, egg white index, eggshell thickness, and egg yolk color; and egg yolk cholesterol content. Results: The results of the study showed that the provision of Golden snails and Azolla showed significantly different results (P

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to determine the impact of implementing a participatory-based breeding program on productivity as represented by cattle morphometric measures, technical coefficients and supporting factors among smallholder farmers in Barru District, South Sulawesi Province. Methods: The research method used 1,040 cattle recordings from 2017 to 2022 in Barru district, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, with the following sub-districts being included: Tanete Riaja, Tanete Rilau, Balusu, Barru, and Mallusetasi. The study employed descriptive analysis, a paired-sample T test, and an analysis of the interaction between breeding variables using the general linear model. Results: The results showed that the morphometric size of participatory-based breeding programs (PBBP) had higher CG values (p<0.01) than non-participatory breeding programs (NPBBP).. The NI PBBP value was found to be in the low category (33.82%), while the NPBBP value was found to be 6.94%. A further impact was observed, whereby male and female calves exhibited distinct differences in WH, BL and CG each year between 2020-2022, with statistical significance (p<0.01). Conclusions: This study showed that factor breeding program models (PBBP and NPBBP) significantly influenced the morphometric size (p < 0.01). The implementation of the PBBP scheme has had a positive impact, as evidenced by the application of the Quadruple Helix model.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Amofer methods and fermentation duration on the nutritional quality, digestibility, and methane production of rice straw. Two Amofer methods were compared: direct (A1) and indirect (A2), combined with four fermentation periods (0, 7, 14, and 21 days). The results showed that both factors significantly affected dry matter digestibility (DMD), organic matter digestibility (OMD), and gas production (P<0.05). The indirect Amofer method (A2), which involved ammoniation prior to microbial fermentation, produced higher DMD (43.10%) and OMD (44.52%) than the direct method (A1). The best results were obtained from A2B2 (indirect Amofer, 14 days), with the highest DMD (55.96%) and OMD (59.37%), as well as efficient gas production (103.7 mL/g DM) and lower methane emission (1.48 mL CH₄/g DM). Improved digestibility under A2B2 was associated with the breakdown of lignocellulosic bonds during ammoniation and enhanced microbial activity during fermentation. In contrast, extended fermentation (21 days) decreased digestibility and increased methane output. These findings indicate that the indirect Amofer method with 14 days of fermentation optimizes rice straw utilization by enhancing feed digestibility, stimulating rumen microbial efficiency, and reducing methane emissions, contributing to sustainable ruminant nutrition systems.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this research was to find the influence of L-Threonine and L-Tryptophan in the feed, with various protein level, on the growth performance and ileum morphology of 1-8 weeks old native chicken.Methods: This research used 252 days old chick native chickens. This research also used 3x3 factorial design which was 3 level of threonine and tryptophan amino acid (0.15% L-tryptophan + 0.50% L-Threonine, 0.20% L-tryptophan + 0.75% L-Threonine and 0.25% L-tryptophan + 1.00% L-Threonine) and 3 levels of protein (15%, 17% and 19%). Each of the treatment combination was repeated 4 times. The collected data were analyzed using the Two-way ANOVA technique by the means of SPSS program (version 25). The average of significant difference in the treatment was used in the Duncan test at probability level of P<0.05.Results: The results of this research showed that interactions between amino acid and crude protein were not significant for all variables observed. The level of amino acid significantly affected the body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion, carcass percentage, and villi height of native chicken ileum (P<0.05). So did the increment of protein level; it significantly affected the growth performance, villi height, and crypt depth of ileum (P<0.05).Conclusion: It was concluded that the higher the amino acid (threonine and tryptophan) and the crude protein level in the feed, the higher the growth and ileum profile of native chickens (1-8 week old).
