Abstract

Background and Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the immune-inflammatory response induced by ZnMg(3x) and ZnMg(4x) alloy implants in the porcine urinary bladder by measuring serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels.Materials and Methods: Nine porcines, aged 2-3 months old with 25-30 kg body weight, were divided into three groups: ZnMg(3x), ZnMg(4x), and control, while the observation time was performed on days 0, 14, and 28. Implantation was performed on the urinary bladder using cystotomy techniques. Measurement of IL-6 levels is done using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data were analyzed statistically using analysis of variance (ANOVA).Results : The results showed that at day 0 for the ZnMg(3x) and ZnMg(4x) implants were 0.53 0.92 pg/mL and 0.10 0.17 pg/mL, respectively. On day 14, IL-6 levels in both implants decreased, although not significantly. On day 28, a slight increase was observed in ZnMg(3x) compared to ZnMg(4x), but this was also not significant (P0.05).Conclusion: Based on the results, Zn-Mg materials are suitable to be used as urinary stent base materials.

Abstract

Background and Aim: The study was conducted in Pabentengang Village, Bajeng District, Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi 2020.Materials and Methods: The study used a survey method of 25 farmers, using questionnaires and interviews. The research location is agricultural land and the community's main business is agriculture and beef cattle. Primary data and secondary data were analyzed descriptively, quantitatively, and economically. The purpose of this paper is to determine the increase in the economic value for farmers through improving beef cattle business.Results: The results showed that the profit of farmers by "paro" or profit sharing was IDR. 4,262,500/farmer/year, and the R/C value was 1.3. The profit of farmers from fattening is IDR. 9,847,000/farmer/period with an R/C value of 1.2. The profit of farmers by producing calves through AI with Limousin semen is IDR. 7,250,000/farmer/year, the R/C value is 1.9. Government support and policies are needed regarding economic feasibility for the welfare of farmers, so that the sustainability of the beef cattle business can be maintained. The strategies that need to be implemented are not only related to the technical aspects of animal husbandry, but also the institutional and communication aspects that are needed in a mutually sustainable manner.Conclusion: Beef cattle business by paro or with profit sharing, producing calves through AI and fattening, is economically feasible to be re-cultivated.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Low reproductive efficiency, particularly repeat breeding, is a significant constraint in cattle production systems in Indonesia. Repeat breeding is defined as the failure of a cow to conceive after three or more services with fertile males, without detectable reproductive abnormalities. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of repeat breeding and identify risk factors related to reproductive and management practices in female aceh cattle in Pidie District.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted using simple random sampling. The study population consisted of Aceh cows that had undergone artificial insemination (AI), with data obtained from inseminator records. Primary data were collected through structured interviews with inseminators and farmers, while secondary data were sourced from AI service logs. Statistical analysis was performed using odds ratios (OR) to assess associations, followed by chi-square tests for significance (SPSS 2007).Results : The prevalence of repeat breeding in aceh cattle was 58.3%. Significant risk factors included poor estrus detection knowledge (P= 0.043; OR= 2.32), delayed estrus reporting (P= 0.076; OR= 1.90), inadequate management of pregnant cattle (P= 0.070; OR= 0.37), and improper placement of feed and water (P= 0.070; OR= 0.18). Strong associations were also found with poor water source quality (P= 0.001; OR= 3.97) and prepartum confinement practices (P= 0.000; OR= 0.20).Conclusion: In contrast, general husbandry practices, including housing hygiene, floor type, and drainage, showed no significant impact. This study highlights the urgent need for improved farmer awareness and better reproductive management to reduce repeat breeding in aceh cattle.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Malacca leaves are one of the medical plants that can be used in traditional medicine. Malacca leaves contain several active compounds that can be effective in inhibiting fungal growth. This study aims to investigate the inhibition of n-hexane Malacca leaves extract on Microsporum canis growth in vitro.Materials and Methods: The method used in this study is Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion with 5 treatments, namely P1 (25% Malacca leaves n-hexane extract), P2 (50% Malacca leaves n-hexane extract), P3 (75% Malacca leaves n-hexane extract), P4 (control (+): ketoconazole) and P5 (control (-): carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) 1%) with 3 replications. The clear zone formed around the disc was measured using a caliper.Results : The results showed that there was no clear zone formed around the disks of the n-hexane extract of Malacca leaves. It can be concluded that the n-hexane extract of Malacca leaves could not inhibit the growth of Microsporum canis.Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the n-hexane extract of Malacca leaves, at concentrations of 25%, 50%, and 75%, does not exhibit antifungal activity against Microsporum canis in vitro, as evidenced by the absence of inhibition zones. Therefore, n-hexane may not be an effective solvent for extracting antifungal compounds from Malacca leaves against this fungal species.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Antibiotics are one of the most used treatments by farmers, both in commercial and non-commercial livestock operations. The use of antibiotics in animals directly impacts the environment, which can become a significant factor in the spread of antibiotic resistance. The environment plays an essential role for both animals and humans, and contamination caused by uncontrolled environmental factors can lead to health impacts on surrounding populations. One of the contaminants that can threaten the health of animals and humans is the presence of Escherichia coli. The aim of this study was to determine the antibiotic resistance profile of E. coli in environmental samples collected from a non-urban livestock region in Playen, Gunung Kidul Regency, Yogyakarta.Materials and Methods: The data in this study consisted of fifty samples, including fishpond water, wastewater, drinking water, water source, water tank, feces, and soil. The methodology involved bacterial isolation using biochemical tests and antimicrobial resistance testing conducted through the KirbyBauer disk diffusion method.Results: The antibiotics used in this study were streptomycin, penicillin, enrofloxacin, oxytetracycline, and sulfamethoxazole. The results showed that 5% of the samples were resistant to streptomycin, 92% were resistant to penicillin, 0% were resistant to enrofloxacin, 12.8% were resistant to oxytetracycline, and 2.5% were resistant to sulfamethoxazole.Conclusion: The findings indicate a high prevalence of Penicillin-resistant E. coli in environmental samples from non-urban livestock areas, highlighting the potential risk of environmental antibiotic resistance transmission.

Abstract

Background and Aim: Guinea fowls are known for their low reproductive efficiency under natural mating conditions, which limits their potential for intensive production. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of artificial insemination on the reproductive performance of Guinea fowls as a strategy to enhance fertility and hatchability outcomes.Materials and Methods: A total of one hundred and fourteen (114) adult Guinea fowls were randomly assigned to three treatment groups. The first group consisted of Guinea fowls (GFs) naturally mated in a ratio of one (1) male to four females (4) in six replicates. In contrast, the second and third groups consisted of twenty-four (24) Guinea hens, artificially inseminated with 0.03 ml fresh undiluted Guinea cock semen and 0. l ml Guinea cock semen diluted (1:3) with Ringers lactate solution. Semen was collected once weekly from GCs trained for semen collection and used to artificially inseminate Guinea hens by the intra-vaginal method using a graduated 1ml syringe. Eggs were collected from the treatment groups from day two (2) to day seven (7) post-AI, processed, and then incubated. At the end of twenty-eight (28) days of incubation, the number of keets hatched per treatment group was counted. The unhatched eggs were broken open to determine infertile eggs and embryonic mortality.Results: The results from the study show that fertility (%), fertile hatchability (%), and total hatchability (%) were significantly higher in artificially inseminated Guinea fowls than in those naturally mated, while embryonic mortality was similar in all treatment groups.Conclusion: Artificial insemination improved Guinea fowl reproductive performance. It is recommended that artificial insemination be implemented as part of intensive Guinea production

Abstract

Background and Aim: IPB D1 chicken is a crossbreed developed by crossing local Indonesian chickens-Pelung, Sentul, and Kampung-with commercial broilers. This crossbreeding initiative led by researchers from the Faculty of Animal Science at IPB University, aims to develop a meat-type chicken breed that is well adapted to traditional backyard farming systems commonly found in rural areas.Materials and Methods: The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance of IPB D1 chickens carrying the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene against Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. A total of 11 chickens were used in this experiment. Detection of the TLR4 gene was conducted using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and sequencing techniques, followed by assessment of the chickens' immune response through total and differential leukocyte counts.Results: The results showed that IPB D1 chickens with the TLR4-positive genotypes (GG and AG) exhibited stronger immune responses and more stable leukocyte profiles compared to TLR4-negative chickens (AA genotype) following exposure to S. Enteritidis. These findings suggest that the TLR4 gene plays an important role in innate immunity and may enhance resistance to bacterial infection.Conclusion: Overall, this study highlights the potential of IPB D1 chickens as a resilient local breed suited for sustainable poultry farming, particularly in resource limited environments.Keywords: IPB D1 chickens, leukocyte profile, non-specific immune response, Salmonella Enteritidis, TLR4 gene

Abstract

This study aims to determine the histological and histomorphometric characteristics of the skin of domestic fowl (Gallus gallus domesticus), ducks (Anas platyrhynchos), and doves (Columba livia) in the ventral abdominal region. Each study sample consisted of six individuals. The samples were processed into histological preparations with a thickness of 5 m and then stained using Haematoxylin-Eosin (HE). The results showed that the histological structure of the skin of domestic fowl, ducks, and doves is relatively thin compared to the structure of mammalian skin and consists of the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutis). The histomorphometric data analysis showed that the thickness of the epidermal layer of the skin in the ventral abdominal region of domestic fowl, ducks, and doves was not significantly different (P0.05), but there were significant differences (P0.05) in the thickness of the dermis and hypodermis. It can be concluded that a similarity exists in the histological structure of the skin of domestic fowl, ducks, and doves, but differences are observed in the histomorphometric properties of the skin in the ventral abdominal region of these birds.
