Abstract

Background: Horses have played an essential role in human life for thousands of years, including for transportation, sports, consumption, and recreation. Because of the benefits of horses and their importance to humans, the effects of horse diseases can also affect humans. One of the most frequently diagnosed infectious diseases in horses worldwide is strangles caused by the beta-hemolytic bacterium Streptococcus equi subspecies equi. Objective: This review aims to collect the latest information on strangles, including the epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of strangles globally and specifically in Indonesia. Results: Strangles cases have been reported sporadically in Indonesia. Laboratory diagnosis of strangles can be performed through bacteriological culture, PCR and serological tests. Streptococcus equi subspecies equi is susceptible to penicillins. Conclusion: Control of strangles can be conducted by applying biosecurity and vaccination. However, currently, there is no commercially available strangles vaccine in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Microbial contamination in consumed chicken eggs can endanger human health. Bacteria can grow and develop in food so that it can reduce the food quality. Determination of food quality can be done by various methods, one of which is Total Plate Count (TPC). Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the level of bacterial contamination in chicken eggs sold at traditional markets in Waru District, Sidoarjo Regency. Methods: Thirty samples were collected from two traditional markets, Waru Market and Wadung Asri Market. This study used the pour plate method of TPC test. Egg contents were diluted and then inoculated in Nutrient Agar. The media inoculated with the sample suspension was incubated at 37°C for 24 hours. The growing bacterial colonies were counted and analyzed using the Standard Plate Count. This study's data are presented descriptively and compared with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 7388-2009 maximum requirement of contaminant bacteria in chicken eggs is 1×105 CFU/mL. Results: The results showed that the averages TPC in two traditional markets were 2.1×104 CFU/mL in Waru Market and 3.4×103 CFU/mL in Wadung Asri Market. The average TPC still meets the maximum limit of microbial contamination listed in SNI 7388-2009. Conclusion: The average values of TPC in both markets are not the same, but the qualities of chicken eggs sold in Waru Market and Wadung Asri Market are good and suitable for consumption.

Abstract

Avocado fruit contains bioactive compounds that have the potential to act as an immunomodulator. This study aims to identify the ability of avocado oil as an immunomodulator based on the macrophage phagocytic activity and index of mice injected with nonpathogenic Staphylococcus aureus and to determine the most effective dose as an immunomodulator. This study used 30 male Deutschland Denken Yoken (DDY) mice, which were divided into five groups: placebo as negative control (mineral water), positive control (commercial immunomodulator containing Echinacea purpurea extract), and avocado oil 1 g/kg BW, 3 g/kg BW, and 5 g/kg BW. The treatment was carried out orally once a day for 14 days. Mice were induced by nonpathogenic Staphylococcus aureus on day 15 intraperitoneally, and after one hour, mice were euthanized to collect the peritoneal fluid. Peritoneal fluid smear preparations were made before active macrophages and phagocytosed Staphylococcus aureus were observed under a microscope. Phagocytic activity and phagocytic index were calculated. Avocado oil 5 g/kg BW showed the highest phagocytic activity and phagocytic index results with values of 71.00% ± 5.40% and 2.79 ± 0.14, respectively. Avocado oil enhances non-specific immune responses through macrophagephagocytic activity and index, demonstrating its immunostimulatory potential.

Abstract

Arabica green coffee bean is the most widely produced coffee bean in Indonesia. Studies have shown that arabica green coffee beans are rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, stimulating immune cell proliferation. This study investigated the immunomodulatory activity of arabica green coffee beans (Coffea arabica). Thirty mice (Mus musculus) with an average body weight of 30 g were divided into five groups: negative control, positive control, and groups administered arabica green coffee bean powder extract at doses of 0.03, 0.06, and 0.18 mg/30 g BW. It was orally administered once daily for 14 days. On the 15th day, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with non-pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus. After an hour, mice were necropsied for peritoneal fluid collection. Peritoneal fluid was stained with a peripheral blood smear, and the number of macrophages and lymphocytes was observed under a microscope. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey’s test. The group administered with 0.18 mg/30 g body weight (BW) dose showed the highest average of macrophage and lymphocytes compared to the negative control group and any other groups. Arabica green coffee bean powder extract was shown to have immunomodulatory activity, with the highest activity observed at a dosage of 0.18 mg/30 g BW.

Abstract

Background: Malay rose apple (Syzygium malaccense) fruit has been used for a long time as a traditional medicine for diarrhea by the community. Malay rose apple fruit contains active compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, and terpenoids and could be used as an antidiarrheal drug. Objective: This study aims to test the effectiveness of the infusion of Malay rose apple fruit as an antidiarrheal agent in mice (Mus musculus). Methods: This research uses the method of intestinal protection and intestinal transit. The experimental animals in this study were 25 mice, which were divided into 5 groups, consisting of negative control (1% Tween 80), positive control group (loperamide HCl), and treatment groups using infusion of Malay rose apple fruit at concentrations of 50%, 75%, and 100%. The parameters assessed in the intestinal protection method are the frequency of defecation and the consistency of the stool, while the intestinal transit method is the ratio of marker passages. Results: The results showed that the antidiarrheal effect occurred at all concentrations. The best concentration as an antidiarrhea is shown by infusion with a concentration of 50%. The 50% concentration group had the smallest average on defecation frequency, stool consistency, and marker passage ratio compared to the values of the other treatment groups and was significantly different (P<0.05) compared to the value in the negative control. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the antidiarrheal effect of the infusion of Malay rose apple fruit occurs at all concentrations, with the best effect at a concentration of 50%.

Abstract

Background: Stress during the transportation period can cause a decrease in day-old chicken (DOC) body weight, which will increase maintenance costs to achieve harvest weight targets. Objective: The research aimed to examine the effect of Nutrichick Gel® product on maintaining body weight of DOC during transportation with different distances. Method: A total of 816 DOC from a hatchery in Sukabumi, West Java, were divided into 4 groups: S+Nutrichick, S-Nutrichick, P+Nutrichick, and P-Nutrichick, with 204 heads in each group. The S+Nutrichick and P+Nutrichick groups received 0.5 mL of Nutrichick Gel® per head, while the S-Nutrichick and P-Nutrichick groups were not given any supplements. The S+Nutrichick and S-Nutrichick groups were transported to Sukoharjo (518 km, ±8 hours; short distance) and the P+Nutrichick and P-Nutrichick groups were transported to Padang (1350 km, ±36 hours; long distance). The difference in weight gain and uniformity was observed before and after transportation. Results: Nutrichick Gel® supplemented groups showed the increased body weight and uniformity percentages, with 0.78% and 4.88% for the S+Nutrichick group, and 4.14% and 2.81% for the P+Nutrichick groups, respectively. The control group without supplementation displayed the decreased body weight and uniformity percentages, with -1.66% and -2.77% for the S-Nutrichick groups and -7.34% and -9.21% for the P-Nutrichick groups, respectively. No DOC’s mortality was observed in all groups. Conclusion: Nutrichick Gel® supplementation could maintain the DOC's body weight during transportation. The longer the distance traveled, the higher the benefits obtained from the difference in body weight using Nutrichick Gel® supplementation.
