Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of Kaempferia galanga L. (kencur) leaf extract supplementation via drinking water on morphometric traits of broiler chickens reared under tropical conditions. A completely randomized design (CRD) was applied with four treatments: P0 (0%), P1 (1% v/v; 10 mL/L), P2 (2% v/v; 20 mL/L), and P3 (3% v/v; 30 mL/L). Broilers were reared in a closed-house system until 35 days of age, and morphometric measurements included body weight, comb height, shank length, tibia length, femur length, and pelvic-related distances. Results indicated that supplementation significantly improved growth-related morphometrics, with the most consistent improvements observed at P2 (2%). The response tended to plateau or slightly decrease at P3 (3%), suggesting an optimum dose range. These findings support the potential use of kencur leaf extract as a phytogenic supplement administered through drinking water to enhance broiler growth and

Abstract

Otodectes cynotis is a parasitic mite frequently identified in the external ear canal of cats, where it causes otitis externa and severe pruritus. Environmental conditions, hygiene standards, and animal management practices influence the prevalence of this mite. The present study aimed to assess the detection rate and prevalence of O. cynotis infestation in cats presented to veterinary clinics in Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara. A total of 63 cats from three clinics (A, B, and C) were examined between November and December 2024. Earwax samples were processed using the native method with a 10% KOH solution at the Parasitology and Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Mandalika University of Education. Microscopic examinations at 10× and 40× magnifications were conducted to identify O. cynotis based on morphological characteristics. Among the 63 cats examined, 22 (34.92%) were found to be infested. The prevalence rates were 40.74% at Clinic A, 29.17% at Clinic B, and 33.33% at Clinic C. These results demonstrate a moderate to high prevalence of O. cynotis among cats in Mataram City. Routine ear examinations, enhanced hygiene practices, and regular antiparasitic treatments are recommended to reduce infestation rates and improve feline ear health.

Abstract

Pyometra is a common reproductive disorder in intact female dogs characterized by the accumulation of purulent material within the uterus and may cause serious systemic complications if not treated promptly. This case report describes the diagnostic approach and clinical management of open pyometra in a female poodle dog treated at the West Sumatra Animal Hospital. A six-year-old intact female poodle was presented with a history of reddish vaginal discharge, fever, and abdominal distension. Diagnosis was established based on anamnesis, physical examination, ultrasonographic examination, and hematological analysis. Ultrasonography revealed uterine enlargement with hypoechoic fluid accumulation within the uterine lumen, while hematological examination showed leukocytosis and decreased packed cell volume. Based on these findings, the dog was diagnosed with open pyometra. Definitive treatment was performed by ovariohysterectomy under general anesthesia, followed by postoperative antibiotic, analgesic, and supportive therapy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and wound healing progressed well. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and confirms ovariohysterectomy as an effective treatment for pyometra in dogs.

Abstract

Shigellosis is a bacterial infection caused by members of the genus Shigella and is rarely reported in chickens. In contrast, coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp. is a common and devastating parasitic disease in broiler chicken. Both diseases can cause digestive disorders, decreased performance, and even death, and can potentially occur together under suboptimal rearing conditions. This case report aimed to identify the causative agent of a disease outbreak in broiler chickens on a farm in Kutuh Village through an epidemiological investigation, clinical examination, and a series of laboratory tests. The examination method began with interviews with farmers and field investigations (epidemiology), followed by clinical examination of sick chickens to collect samples and undergo supporting examinations in anatomical pathology, bacteriology, and parasitology laboratories. A 30-day-old broiler chicken showed clinical symptoms of weakness, severe lethargy, decreased appetite, dull and falling feathers, inability to stand, and brownish-yellow diarrhea. Anatomical pathology observations revealed cheilitis in several organs, a fibrin layer on the heart surface, and intestinal bleeding. Histopathological examination revealed the infiltration of polymorphonuclear inflammatory cells in the heart, liver, intestines, and cecum, and the presence of schizonts in the cecal epithelium of infected tissues. Bacteriological examination successfully identified Shigella spp., and parasitological examination revealed Eimeria spp. oocysts in fecal samples, with a total of 273,100 oocysts/gram. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the chickens in this case experienced co-infection with Shigella and Eimeria. Further research on Shigella infection in poultry is recommended, and farmers should improve biosecurity and provide appropriate treatment to their flocks.

Abstract

African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) remains a critical global threat to swine health, demanding innovative vaccine strategies beyond currently limited live-attenuated options. This study employed an immunoinformatics-driven, in silico approach to identify antigenic B-cell epitopes from two key ASFV immunogens, P30 (CP204L) and P72 (B646L), as potential peptide-based vaccine candidates. Amino-acid sequences were retrieved from NCBI and modeled via SWISS-MODEL to predict structural exposure. Linear B-cell epitopes were mapped using IEDB BepiPred 2.0 and further screened for antigenicity and allergenicity using VaxiJen and AllerTOP. P30 exhibited broader surface-exposed epitope distribution and higher predicted immunogenicity, with QYGKAPDF emerging as the most promising non-allergenic antigenic peptide. In contrast, P72 displayed fewer, more conserved epitopes consistent with its compact capsid topology, with PREEYQPSGHIN identified as the best candidate based on immunogenic and non-allergenic properties. Comparative analysis highlights P30 as the superior immunogenic target, although combining both epitopes may enhance protective efficacy through complementary immune activation and structural stability. These findings provide a foundational framework for designing multi-epitope ASFV subunit vaccines and warrant subsequent experimental validation to support development of safe, effective, and durable ASFV immunoprophylaxis.
