Abstract

The East Kobalima sub-district, which borders Timor Leste, has a cattle population of 1,673 (Central Bureau of Statistics, 2023). The existence of the Motamasin Cross Border Post makes it easier for people to trade between the two countries, especially cattle. Lack of knowledge among farmers about cattle health can lead to various cattle health problems that can harm farmers, such as uncontrolled fly infestation. This study aims to calculate the relative abundance of flies on cattle farms in the RI-RDTL border area, Malaka Regency. Fly samples were collected from 4 villages in East Kobalima sub-district, Malaka Regency. Fly samples were collected using hand collection, sweeping net and light trap methods. The collected flies were pinned and stored in a collection box for further identification of morphological characteristics and calculation of their relative abundance. The results of the fly vector abundance calculation showed that the most dominant fly species were Hippobosca sp. with up to 300 flies (71.94%), Stomoxys calcitrans with up to 111 flies (26.61%) and Musca domestica with up to 6 flies (1.43%).

Abstract

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a deadly viral disease of pigs that poses a serious threat to livestock farming in Kupang Regency. This study aimed to identify potential vectors of ASF, particularly ticks, and determine their prevalence in the region. The research was conducted from April to July 2023 in three sub-districts: West Kupang, East Kupang and Takarai, using manual sample collection and laboratory identification techniques. Ticks were collected directly from pigs using tweezers, preserved in 70% alcohol, and processed at the Helminthology and Entomology Laboratory. Identification was done through clearing with 10% KOH, multistage dehydration, and microscopic observation with 40x magnification. Data were analysed descriptively to determine the type and prevalence of potential ASF ticks. The results showed that three types of potential ticks were identified: Ixodes sp., Boophilus sp. and Ornithodorus sp. The prevalence of each ticks species and their potential transmission of ASF virus were comprehensively evaluated. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the dynamics of ASF transmission through ticks vectors in the Kupang region.

Abstract

The market is a public place that is used as a meeting place between sellers and buyers to conduct transactions. Traditional markets are markets that have not paid attention to health principles such as environmental sanitation. Poor sanitation plays a role in increasing the breeding of vectors such as rats. This study aims to measure the success rate of catching rats using roasted coconut, salted fish, and sweet potato bait, identify the types of rats that have been caught in the market, and analyze the relationship between the sanitation of the market and the success rate of catching rats and the level of rat density. This type of research is a descriptive study with market observation methods, collection of rat samples and identification of rat morphology. The total traps used in each market were 24 traps for 6 days at 8 points indicated by rats. At the Oeba market, rats prefer salted fish bait with a success rate of 25%, then roasted coconut with a success rate of 16% and sweet potatoes with a success rate of 2%. At the Oesapa market, rats preferred salted fish bait with a success rate of 29%, then roasted coconut with a success rate of 17% and sweet potatoes with a success rate of 3%. There are 5 types of rats and 1 type of shrew that have been caught, namely the house rat (Rattus tanezumi), the wirok rat (Bandicota indica), the rat rat (Rattus norvegicus), the bush rat or tree rat (Rattus tiomanicus), the field rat (Rattus exulans) and House shrew (Suncus murinus). Sanitation in the Oeba market and Oesapa market is included in the poor category so that the level of rat density in the Oeba market and Oesapa market is relatively high with percentages of 14% and 16% respectively.

Abstract

Dogs are often treated as family members but remain susceptible to various infectious diseases, including parasitic worm infections. Toxocariasis, caused by Toxocara canis, can compromise canine health and may lead to death. This article reports a case of T. canis infection in a dog. Diagnosis was performed through native and flotation fecal examinations, accompanied by blood profile analysis to assess changes associated with helminth infection. Fecal flotation revealed the presence of T. canis eggs, while blood analysis showed an develated eritrocyte count. Treatment was administered with an anthelmintic, and prevention is recommended through regular deworming and maintaining the cleanliness of the kennel and surrounding environment.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of adding keloer flour to feed and lime juice in drinking water of broiler chickens on body weight gain, feed consumption and ration conversion of broiler chickens. This study was conducted from August 2022 to November 2022 at the Dry Land Chicken Cage Unit, Nusa Cendana University. This study is an experimental study using the Completely Randomized Design method, consisting of 4 treatments with 6 replications and 3 Reserves for each treatment were added. The number of broiler chickens kept was 36 consisting of 4 treatment groups in a cage with a division of plots for each treatment group. Each treatment group plot was filled with 9 chickens each. The feed given to broiler chickens was CP 11 (1-21 days) and CP 12 (22-35 days) and additional feed combination of moringa flour (Moringa oleifera) and lime (Citrus aurantifolia) with the provisions, for T0 (control treatment) given commercial feed and drinking water, T1 (first treatment) given commercial feed, drinking water, and added 4% moringa flour, T2 (second treatment) given commercial feed, drinking water, and added 4% lime juice, and T3 (third treatment) given commercial feed, drinking water, and added 2% moringa flour and 2% lime juice. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's advanced analysis. The results of this study indicate that the addition of moringa flour in feed and lime juice in drinking water has a significant difference (P < 0.05) in feed consumption and ration conversion of Broiler Chickens but does not provide a significant difference (P > 0.05) in body weight gain of Broiler Chickens.

Abstract

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious hemorrhagic disease of pigs that threatens smallholder systems in Indonesia. We describe a field case from Camplong, Fatuleu Sub-district, Kupang Regency (East Nusa Tenggara) involving a 3.5-month-old male mixed Landrace–local pig reared under traditional management. Clinical history at the premises included anorexia, lethargy, tremors, diarrhea with hematochezia, and recent on-farm mortalities. Post-mortem examination noted a markedly darkened, enlarged spleen and renal petechiae. Basic hematology supported acute systemic viral infection. Splenic tissue was collected aseptically and tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), yielding a positive result for ASF; internal quality controls were acceptable. Concordant clinical, pathological, hematologic, and molecular findings support a definitive diagnosis of ASF in this case. At the population level, confirmation in Camplong indicates plausible local virus circulation and underscores the need for immediate risk communication, movement restriction, disinfection, strengthened biosecurity, and trace-back/trace-forward investigations among nearby smallholders. This case adds geographically contextualized evidence for ASF detection in resource-limited settings and illustrates the operational value of integrating field necropsy and confirmatory PCR on splenic tissue for timely decision-making. Findings may inform targeted surveillance and practical biosecurity guidance for smallholder pig producers in East Nusa Tenggara.

Abstract

Castration in male dogs is a medical procedure aimed at reducing the population of male dogs. The purpose of this study was to determine the physiological profile of administering a combination of ketamine-zolazepam-tiletamine and ketamine-diazepam during castration. Six domestic male dogs weighing 8-15 kg and aged 6 months to 1 year were used in this study. Physiological observations of heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, digit reflex, and pupil reflex were statistically analyzed using an independent t-test. The oral mucosa was observed descriptively. Statistical analysis results showed that heart rate in group K1 with ketamine administration (10 mg/kg bw, iv) – zolazepam-tiletamine (5 mg/kg bw, iv) and K2 with ketamine (10 mg/kg bw, iv) and diazepam (0.2 mg/kg bw, iv) from T0 to T60 showed significant differences (P<0.05). Respiratory rates in groups K1 and K2 at T0, T10, T40, T50, and T60 showed significant differences. Body temperature and pupillary reflexes in groups K1 and K2 showed no significant differences. Dog digit reflexes in groups K1 and K2 showed significant differences. The combination of ketamine-zolazepam-tiletamine (KZT) and ketamine-diazepam (KD) caused an increase in heart rate and respiratory rate from normal values, but the increase in KD was closer to normal limits. Body temperature was within normal limits when KZT and KD combinations were administered. The loss of digit reflex and pupil reflex responses with the KZT combination lasted longer than with KD, indicating that the analgesia and sedation quality of KZT was deeper than that of KD. The oral mucosa in the KZT and KD combinations was pink, and the Capillary Refill Time (CRT) was < 2 seconds from T0 to T60.

Abstract

Pigeons (Columba livia) are a species that often adapt well to urban environments and play an important role in the ecosystem as vectors for the spread of various parasites and zoonotic pathogens. This study aimed to identify the presence of gastrointestinal parasites, blood protozoa, and ectoparasites in pigeons originating from live animal markets in Surabaya, Indonesia. Samples were taken from six pigeons showing clinical symptoms such as diarrhea, anorexia, and weakness. Microscopic examination of feces revealed the presence of Capillaria sp. and Raillietina sp. worm eggs, as well as Eimeria sp. and Haemoproteus columbae protozoan parasites found through blood smears. In addition, ectoparasite identification included Columbicola columbae, Menopon sp., and Menacanthus stramineus. These results show that pigeons in live animal markets have the potential to be a source of parasite and zoonotic disease transmission and have a negative impact on poultry and human health. Therefore, it is important to control parasites through improved sanitation, better habitat management, and vector control to reduce the risk of disease transmission.

Abstract

Oryctolagus cuniculus or rabbit is a popular companion animal due to its friendly temperament, calm behavior, high exploratory capacity, and ability to adapt quickly to new environments. However, both household and farm management systems present risks of compromised immunity, particularly against infectious diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Sarcoptes scabiei is one of the most significant parasitic agents affecting rabbits, especially when immunity is weakened and environmental sanitation is poor. Infestation commonly presents with pruritus, alopecia, erythema, hyperkeratosis, and crust formation, with predilection sites including the ears, feet, and lips. Severe cases may lead to stress and death, with reported mortality rates of 15–40%. This case report describes a holland lop rabbit exhibiting pruritus, hyperkeratosis, alopecia, and crusts on the auricula sinister et dexter, as well as alopecia and erythema on the ventro-tarsal region dexter. Treatment consisted of causative, symptomatic, and supportive therapy. Ivermectin (0.4 mg/kg, SC, every 7 days) was administered as the causative treatment, diphenhydramine HCl (0.2 mg/kg, SC) as symptomatic therapy, and Viamin 34® (1 ml/kg, SC) as supportive care. All treatments were continued for 14 days. Significant clinical improvement was observed, including the resolution of alopecia, erythema, hyperkeratosis, and crusting.

Abstract

Coccidiosis, Avian Influenza (AI), and Newcastle Disease (ND) are important diseases in broiler chickens that can cause economic losses. This case report aimed to identify the causative agents and describe the pathological changes in broiler chickens suspected of having coccidiosis accompanied by viral infection in the Ungasan District of Bali. The broiler chickens were approximately 25 days old and had bloody diarrhea. The examinations included anamnesis, epidemiological investigation, anatomical pathology, histopathology, parasitology, and bacteriology. Based on epidemiological data, morbidity was 0.7%, mortality was 0.2%, and the case fatality rate was 30% of the total population of 14,000 birds. Anatomical pathology and histopathological examinations revealed changes in almost all organs, indicating infection with the AI and/or ND virus. Necrosis, hemorrhage, inflammatory cell infiltration, and clusters of Eimeria spp. at various life stages were observed in the intestines and caecum. Qualitative and McMaster fecal examinations revealed the presence of Eimeria spp. oocysts at a rate of 132,700 oocysts/gram. Bacteriological examination identified the growth of Escherichia coli, but without any indication of secondary infection from bacteria because Escherichia coli is the normal flora of the intestine. Based on these examination results, it can be concluded that the chickens were infected with intestinal and cecal coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp., accompanied by suspected ND and/or AI.
