Abstract

Inadequate feed causes low productivity of livestock, which is indicated by a slow rate of development and low body weight. Alternative non-conventional feed ingredients derived from oil palm waste have shown the potential to be used as livestock feed. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the fiber and ash content of palm fronds fermented with liquid organic supplements. The waste raw material was obtained after grinding the palm fronds and followed by a fermentation process using liquid organic supplements. This process was continued with fiber and ash analysis at the Laboratory of Nutrition Science and Feed Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Syiah Kuala University. A complete randomized design was employed with four treatments using liquid organic supplements at levels of 0%, 4%, 6%, and 8%, with four replications. The measured parameters were water content, crude fiber, ash, and nitrogen-free extract (NFE). The results showed that the addition of liquid organic supplements had no significant effect (P0.05) on the levels of crude fiber, ash, NFE, and water content. Among all treatments, the results were observed in the P3 treatment (8%) which had the lowest crude fiber content and ash content, namely 22 0.589 and 3.72 0.112, as well as had the highest NFE and water content of 78.15 0.501 and 57.9 0.304, respectively. This indicated that the use of liquid organic supplements had the potential to improve the quality of oil palm midrib fiber and positivelyimpactanimalfeed.

Abstract

Gut microbes areinvolvedwithmany host physiological processes including digestion, metabolism, immune response, gut function and behavior. Among all the factors, diet is being considered the most important one to modulate gut microbiota composition, metabolism and their metabolites. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted to the intestinal environment by gut microbes and play an essential role in gut microbe-host communication. This paper aims to review how diet affects gut microbial EVs and its composition as well as how this change further affects host health. This review summarizes the latest research progress of interaction among diet, gut microbial EVs, and host health. Through the microbiota-gut axis, gut microbial EVs involve in many physiological activities, including brain function, metabolism, gut function and immune response. It has been verified that diet composition has direct changes on gut microbial morphology and internal molecules within gut microbial EVs. Overall, studies investigating the effects of diet through gut microbial EVs on host health are very limited. Future research regarding axis of diet-gut microbial EVs-host health is recommended.

Abstract

Catfish sangkuriang(Clarias gariepinus)is one of the aquaculture commodities with great potential to be developed in Indonesia to support the demand for feed. Efforts to reduce dependence on imported feed raw materials for fish feed is continued. Water hyacinth(Eichhornia crasspies)leaf which contains phytochemical compounds such as flavonoids, tannins,steroids and saponins is an alternatif raw material for fish pellet component. This study aimed to determine the addition of fermented water hyacinthleaf meal in fish feed on the growth, survival rate, and blood profile of sangkuriang catfish. In total 150 fish (Average initial weight 5.45 0.02 g)were randomly divided into triplicates of five groups, containing 10 fishes per group. Group one is a control group, P1 (10% of non fermented water hyacinth leaf meal), while P2, P3 and P4were treatment groups of fish fed with 10 , 15, and 20% fermented water hyacinth leaf meal byAspergillus niger. At the end of the 42 days of treatment, growth, survival rate, and blood profile of all fish were determined. The results showed that the addition of 10% water hyacinth leaf meal fermented byAspergillus nigerhad an effect on the growth of final weight, body weight gain and spesific growth rate (p 0.05) in comparison to all groups. However, the addition of any concentration of water hyacinth leaf meal did not affect on the feed conversion ratio and survival rate value. Further, the addition of water hyacinth leaf meal had a significant effect (p 0.05) on the erythrocytes, leukocytes and hemoglobin of fish, but did not show a significant effect on the values of hematocrit and platelets.

Abstract

The length-weight relationship and condition index of pokea clams in the Laeya River are not fully known. This study was aimed to determine the length-weight relationship and condition index of pokea clams in the Laeya River, Southeast Sulawesi. This research was conducted 10 months from May 2016 to February 2017 in the Laeya River, Southeast Sulawesi. Pokea clams are collected using a shovel. The length and weight of each clam was using calipers and analytical scales with accuracy of 0.05 mm and 0.01 g, respectively. The weight of the shell and dried meat was obtained by drying the shells first using an oven and weighing using an analytical balance with an accuracy of 0.01 g and 0.0001 g, respectively. The results showed that the relationship between length and weight of pokea clams in males and females were 2.61 and 2.78, respectively; with R2values of 0.89 and 0.93, respectively. The highest b values for males and females were found in July with values of 3.03 and 2.94, respectively. The lowest b value was found in November with values of 2.45 and 2.46, respectively. The condition index values for males and females were 4.7 2.2 and 5.17 2.32, respectively. The highest condition index was found in May with values of 6.00 3.07 and 7.83 2.55, respectively. The condition index values for males and females increased with increasing shell size. Male and female at the largest size (6.01-6.05 cm) had the highest index with values of 8.05 6.41 and 9.12 3.38, respectively. In conclusions, the growth was negative allometric pattern, condition index was in fat category, and had peak spawning in July and experienced partial spawning in September-February.

Abstract

The growth pattern and DNA yield and purity of Bulinus. globosus from River Wudil, Kano State, were investigated using standard methods. The mean ranges in mm from 7.92.9, 5.72.5, 4.81.8, 3.41.2, 1.50.2, 1.6 0.0, 2.4 0.2, 1.2 0.1, 1.4 0.1, 65.8 1.9 and 22.2 0.4 were recorded for length, width, aperture height, aperture width, height width ratio, height and aperture height ratio, height and aperture width ratio, width and aperture height ratio, aperture height and aperture width ratio, shell weight and flesh weight. About 33.7 % of weight of the snail is made up of flesh by weight. The value of b showed that B. globosus exhibited a negative allometric growth pattern while the correlation coefficient (r) in all the shell variables were below 1, indicating a weak correlation between the parameters. Mean DNA yield and purity were 120.03 5.10 ng/l and 1.81 1.21. The DNA yield in this study is well above the minimum standard and the pure extracts are good enough for further DNA analyses.

Abstract

The metabolizable energy (ME) of tropical forages measured by in vivo method in ruminants had a high degree of accuracy but requires a long time and is expensive. One method that can be done is the ME estimation model. The objectives of the present study were carried out to investigate the relationship between tropical forage nutrient content and ME for ruminants as well as determine and validate a model for estimating ME of tropical forage based on nutrient content. A total of 26 forage samples consisting of 14 types of grass and 12 legumes were obtained after data pre-processing or data cleaning and data normalization. Forage samples will be grouped into 3, Grass + Legume (G+L=26), grass (R=14), and legume (L=12). The database used is Crude Protein (CP), Extract Ether (EE), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), and hemicellulose as well as ME with in vivo experiments. The initial stage is preprocessing data. Nutrient content and ME were analyzed using Pearson Correlation and followed by multiple linear regression to determine the ME estimation model. However, validated used the mean absolute deviation (MAD), root means square error (RMSE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results showed that there was a significant and highly significantly correlated between nutrient composition and ME in the Grass + Legume, Grass, and Legume groups so it could be used to determine ME. There are 9 regression equations with significance and have high R2and after being validated with the lowest MAD, RMSE, and MAPE values, three regression equations are obtained with one each for each group Grass + Legume (G+L), Grass (R), and Legumes (L). It is concluded that the regression equation of ME of tropical forage is MER+L= 12.429 0.122 ADF for Grass + Legume, EMR= 15.609 0.115 NDF for Grass, and EML= 3.726 0.186 CP for Legume.

Abstract

Feed cost is a major challenge in poultry production, prompting the need for alternative feed resources to reduce dependency on conventional ingredients. Cassava peel, an abundant agro-industrial by-product, offers potential as a feed ingredient. This study aimed to determine the effect of fermented cassava peel (FCP) flour using Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on the growth performance of indigenous chickens. A total of 100 day old chicks were allocated to five dietary treatments with four replications in a completely randomized design (CRD): Control (T0) (0% FCP), T1 (15% FCP), T2 (20% FCP), T3 (25% FCP), and T4 (30% FCP). Data on feed intake (FI), body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were collected over eight weeks and analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Duncans Multiple Range Test at 5% significance. Results show that the inclusion of FCP up 40% had no significant effect (P0.05) on FI, BWG, and FCR. These findings indicate that FCP flour can replace conventional feed ingredients in indigenous chicken without compromising growth performances. Further research is recommended to optimize feed formulation by balancing nutrient content and selecting effective fermenting microorganisms to fully harness the benefit of FCP in poultry production systems.

Abstract

Aquatic ecosystems are increasingly contaminated by pharmaceutical pollutants, including antidepressants such as fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Detected in water-bodies, wastewater, and fish, fluoxetine poses potential risks to environmental and reproductive health. This study investigates the impact of fluoxetine exposure on zebrafish fertility, as SSRIs are known to influence reproductive function in humans. Five adult male-female zebrafish pairs were maintained in 10-litre tanks at 28C under a 14-hour light and 10-hour dark cycle and fed a high-protein diet thrice daily. To establish baseline fertility, each pair was initially spawned once, and the resulting eggs were discarded. The experiment was conducted over three cycles. In Cycle-1, pairs were separated for five days with daily water changes and allowed to spawn on Day-6. Total eggs and live eggs (clear and transparent) were recorded, with dead eggs (cloudy and opaque). In Cycle-2, both sexes were exposed to 3.2 g/L fluoxetine daily for five days before spawning. In Cycle-3, the same protocol as Cycle-1 was repeated without fluoxetine to observe delayed effects. Mean egg-counts were 231(14) in Cycle-1, 427(57) in Cycle-2, and 442(31) in Cycle-3. Significant difference (p0.05) between Cycle-1 vs Cycle-2 and Cycle-1 vs Cycle-3 was observed, while no significant difference was found between Cycle-2 and Cycle-3 (p0.05). Similarly, the proportion of live eggs declined across cycles: 47%(543/1155) in Cycle-1, 33%(704/2139) in Cycle-2, and 29%(641/2212) in Cycle-3. The decline was statistically significant between Cycle-1 vs Cycle-2 and Cycle-1 vs Cycle-3 (p0.05), but the difference between Cycle-2 and Cycle-3 was not significant (p0.05). A strong negative correlation was observed between total egg output and the proportion of live eggs. These findings suggest that fluoxetine enhances egg production while reducing egg viability. This underscores the reproductive toxicity of environmental fluoxetine exposure in aquatic species, with potential implications for human health. The study highlights pharmaceutical pollutions interconnected ecological and reproductive impacts.

Abstract

The use of plant-based additives has helped in the improvement of feed utilization, performance, and poultry welfare. Yohimbe is a botanical additive that could be used to achieve these objectives. A total of 225 broiler chickens were randomly into five (5) treatment groups. The group includes: T1 = Control, T2 = 5mg/kg Larvicide, T3 = 240 mg/kg Yohimbe, T4 = 300mg/kg Yohimbe, T5 = 360mg/kg Yohimbe was further divided into 3 replicates. All replicate groups had 15 chickens each with relatively similar live weights. Feed was served to chickens ad libitum at the starter and finisher phases, while data were collected on intake, growth, and later, feed digestibility. Results showed that chickens served 300mg/kg Yohimbe diet had better digestion of carbohydrates, energy, crude fiber, and livability, while other performance parameters were unaffected. It is therefore concluded that Yohimbe can be included up to 300 mg/kg, above which there was a decline in the growth performance and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens.
