Abstract

This study was proposed to provide general conclusions regarding the potential of feeding the meal worm (Tenebrio molitor) to broiler productivity and healthy using the meta-analysis method. The research was initiated with a search for articles through the Google Scholar and Scopus databases and 1923 articles were obtained using the keywords Tenebrio molitor, mealworm, broiler chicken, performance, feed conversion ratio, broilers, caterpillars, carcasses, body weight, feed, Hongkong caterpillars connected with Boolean operators AND and OR. Furthermore, article selection was carried out based on the PRISMA flow chart using Microsoft Excel and Mendeley. The results of data extraction from 25 articles included in the meta-analysis were then processed in the form of a database in Microsoft Excel, converted to the same unit and then analyzed with mixed model procedures using Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software. The parameters measured were body weight (BW), body weight gain (BWG), average daily growth (ADG), feed consumption (FI), average daily feed intake (ADFI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), carcass weight (CW), carcass yield (CY), abdominal fat, total protein, cholesterol, glucose, uric acid, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, albumin, and globulin. Data from each article were tabulated in Microsoft Excel software. The results showed that the use of Tenebrio molitor as animal feed showed a quadratically significant effect in reducing BWG (62,13 g), FI (112,42 g), CY (70,47%), albumin (20,71), and UA (5,44) (P0,05). However, there was no significant effect (P0,05) on BW, ADG, ADFI, FCR, CW, abdominal fat, total protein, cholesterol, glucose, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, and globulin by utilizing Tenebrio molitor as broiler feed. It can be concluded that the provision of Tenebrio molitor has the potential as broiler feed. The optimal use of Tenebrio molitor in broiler chickens is 17,04%. The feeding dose must be considered because Tenebrio molitor contains antinutrients in the form of chitin and tannin to avoid negative effect on the performance and health of broiler chickens.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the preferences and activities of Aedes aegypti toward attractant plants in the laboratory. This was a descriptive observational study using the visual control method. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the highest presence of male (50%) was found on Mangifera indica, followed by Murraya sp. (23%), Ixora sp. (11%), Annona muricata (11%), Plumeria sp. (3%) and Pteridium aquilinum (2%). The highest presence of female (65%) was found on Mangifera indica, followed by Murraya sp. (9%), Ixora sp. (9%), Plumeria sp. (9%), Annona muricata (4%), and Pteridium aquilinum (4%). The feeding activity of both male and female was highest on Mangifera indica and lowest on Ixora sp., Pteridium aquilinum, and Annona muricata. Resting activity was observed on all test plants except Pteridium aquilinum. The Mangifera indica has a high attraction for both male and female Ae. aegypti for feeding and resting activities.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine whether breed and body condition score (BCS) can influence ovarian weight, follicle number, and oocyte quality. This study used 90 ovaries from 15 Friesian Holstein crossbreed, 15 Ongole crossbreed, and 15 Limousin crossbreed cows obtained from an abattoir. Before the ovaries were taken, the BCS of the cows was determined. The BCS system used in this study is BCS with a scale of 1 to 5. Ovaries were weighed, follicles were measured and grouped by size (2 mm, 2-6 mm, 6 mm) then counted, oocytes were aspirated from the follicles then observed under a microscope. Oocyte quality was observed and then grouped into grade A, B, C, D based on cumulus oocyte complex (COCs). Data were analyzed using two way ANOVA and chi square test. The results of the analysis showed that breed did not influence ovarian weight, but influenced the number of follicles, and oocyte quality. In Friesian Holstein crossbreed cows, BCS affects ovarian weight, follicle number, and oocyte quality. In Ongole crossbreed cows, BCS had no effect on ovary weight, but did affect follicle number and oocyte quality. In Limousin crossbredcows, BCS had no effect on ovary weight and follicle number, but did affect oocyte quality.

Abstract

The high protein content in snake venom make venom samples prone damaged. Freeze drying is a solution to stabilize the protein in snake venom and the addition of excipients such as sugar and surfactant, can prevent negative impacts during freeze drying process. The purpose of this study was to examine the morphology of Trimeresurus insularis (T. insularis) snake venom protein molecules after freeze-drying with the addition of sucrose, Tween 80, and PBS (pH 7.2). In this study, venom from nine T. insularis snakes was used. Before freeze drying, the treated samples were supplemented with sucrose, Tween 80, and PBS (pH 7.2), while, the control sample was only supplemented with PBS (pH 7.2). After freeze drying, the morphology of both samples was observed using a scanning electron microscope at magnification of 100x and 3000x. The result showed that the control sample was damaged and resembled broken glass, whereas the treatment sample, although it also appeared as shattered glass, was more intact and exhibited finer and smaller flakes.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess differences in body weight, blood glucose levels, and liver and kidney tissue damage among rats induced with alloxan, streptozotocin, or streptozotocin-nicotinamide. This was an experimental study using a completely randomized design. The rats were allocated into four experimental groups. Group 1 (KN) was considered as the normal control group, while groups K1, K2, and K3 were induced with streptozotocin (60 mg/kg bw), alloxan (150 mg/kg bw), and nicotinamide (120 mg/kg bw) followed by streptozotocin (60 mg/kg bw), respectively. The compounds were administered intraperitoneally using suitable solvents. Body weight and blood glucose levels were monitored weekly. Upon completion of the study, liver and kidney tissues were harvested and processed for histopathological analysis using hematoxylin-eosin staining. The findings revealed that all diabetic induction models had significantly elevated blood glucose levels compared to the control group. Additionally, there were significantly differences (P0.05) in liver and kidney tissue damage among the groups treated with streptozotocin (STZ), alloxan, and STZnicotinamide. In conclusion, STZ induction produced more consistent hyperglycemia with less tissue damage compared to alloxan, while, nicotinamide co-administration effectively reduced cellular degeneration, suggesting its protective role against diabetes-induced tissue injury.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of laser acupuncture on the hematological profile, total blood cholesterol, and total blood protein in rabbits, with potential applications for livestock. The blood profiles of laser acupuncture-treated rabbits were compared to those of rabbits of the same or different types. Twenty-four New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, with six rabbits in each group. Group One (control/placebo), Group Two (laser acupuncture at specific acupuncture points BL21, BL15, and BL13), and Group Three (laser acupuncture not precisely at acupuncture points). Treatments were administered six times over six weeks. The data presented is the average of the respective data in groups one, two, and three. Results showed that rabbits' hematological profiles, total blood cholesterol, and total blood protein were consistent with existing standards, with no significant deviations observed, indicating that laser acupuncture did not adversely affect rabbit health. These findings suggest that laser acupuncture does not adversely affect rabbit health and could be a safe technique for enhancing animal welfare, with potential applications in livestock management.

Abstract

The integrated cattle and oil palm production is currently recognized as one of the potential strategies to fulfill national meat demand in Indonesia. This study investigated the effect of parity on the performances of Brahman cross cows and their calves kept under integrated cattle and oil palm production. The cows receive natural mating with the provision of Brahman cross bulls (bull:cow ratios of 1:20). Data of body weight and body condition score of 300 cows were recorded after parturition. Data of body weight and weaning weight of their 600 calves (300 calves of each of parity 1 and 2) were also included in this study. Data were compared between parity 1 and 2 by using paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results demonstrated that the cows in parity 2 had higher (P0.001) body weight and body condition score than those in parity 1. Parity 2 also increased (P0.001) birth and weaning weight of calves as compared to parity 1. It could be concluded that parity has a significant contribution to the performance of Brahman cross cows and their calves, with parity 2 provides better performance than parity 1.

Abstract

The primary objective of this research was to assess the gastroprotective properties of Bidens pilosa L. leaf ethanol extract by analyzing gastric histopathology in an alcohol-induced ulcer model in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus). The research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design involving five groups. The rats in K- group received 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), while the rats in the K+ group were given 30% alcohol. Groups P1, P2, and P3 received 30% alcohol combined with ethanol extract of Bidens pilosa at doses of 250, 500, and 750 mg/kg BW, respectively. Alcohol was administered orally at a dosage of 10 mL/kg BW for 43 consecutive days. The observed parameters included histopathological features of the gastric tissue, specifically mucosal erosion, inflammatory cell infiltration, and necrosis. The results demonstrated that the extract significantly reduced alcohol induced gastric tissue damage, as indicated by lower erosion scores and inflammatory cell infiltration (P 0.05). Necrosis was not observed in any group, including in the K+ group. In conclusion, Bidens pilosa extract possesses potential gastroprotective properties, likely mediated by anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective mechanisms.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an economic model and conduct an analysis to support decision-making among treatment options. To identify the most economically favorable strategy, a decision tree was built to compare the expected monetary value (EMV) of three actions for individual cows. These options were hormone treatment, supportive treatment, and supportive treatment enhanced with management improvements. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the economic impact of variability in key input parameters. Hormone therapy gave the highest EMV at US$989. In contrast, supportive treatment, which is commonly chosen by Indonesian farmers, had the lowest EMV at US$925. The combined strategy of supportive treatment with improved management practices offered a higher EMV of US$937 compared to supportive treatment alone. In conclusion, hormone therapy yielded the highest EMV, establishing it as the most cost-effective treatment for ovarian hypofunction in cows.

Abstract

Anatomical variations in brain shape and size among fish can be influenced by both species and habitat. The cerebellum of the fish brain, plays an essential role in balance regulation and the coordination of motor activity. However, information regarding the fundamental structure of the cerebellum in the climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) is still limited compared with zebrafish (Danio rerio) as the animal model. This study aimed to investigate the histological features of the climbing perch cerebellum. Transverse and sagitttal sections of the cerebellum were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF), processed into histological slides, and stained using cresyl violet. The parts of cerebellum and neurons morphology were observed using a light microscope equipped with Optilab then the resulting data were analyzed descriptively. The findings revealed that the cerebellum comprises three main parts: the corpus cerebelli, valvula cerebelli, and the vestibulolateral lobe, which includes the eminentia granularis and caudal lobe. The cerebellar cortex of the corpus and a valvula cerebelli consists of the molecular layer, ganglionic layer, and granular layer, while the vestibulolateral lobe is made up of a granular layer. Various neuronal types were identified, including rounded stellate cells, pear-shaped Purkinje cells, spindle-shaped eurydendroid cells, small rounded granular cells, and rounded or polygonal Golgi cells. In conclusion, while the cerebellar histology of Anabas testudineus is largely comparable to that of Danio rerio, its valvula cerebelli lacks the medial and lateral subdivisions found in the zebrafish.
