Abstract

Gastrointestinal nematode infection is a common disease affecting Bali cattle, leading to health issues and reduced productivity. The control of this disease using Albendazole can reduce nematode egg counts; however, long-term use may result in resistance. This study aims to detect Albendazole resistance against nematode infections in Bali cattle based on Egg Per Gram of Feces (EPG) values and the Fecal Egg Count Reduction Test (FECRT). The study employs a one-group pretest-posttest design with 20 Bali cattle aged 6 months to 2 years infected with gastrointestinal nematodes. Fecal samples were collected on day 0 (before treatment), day 7, and day 14 after Albendazole administration at a dose of 7.5 mg/kg body weight. Fecal samples were examined using the Whitlock method, and the data were analyzed using the FECRT and the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in nematode egg counts before and after treatment. The overall FECRT value on day 14 reached 84.1%, indicating that Albendazole is fairly effective but with signs of resistance. The nematode species identified included Trichostrongylus sp, Ostertagia sp, and Cooperia sp, each showing different responses to treatment. Trichostrongylus sp and Ostertagia sp exhibited high sensitivity, with an FECRT value of 100% on day 14, while Cooperia sp reached only 75%, indicating resistance to Albendazole. In conclusion, Albendazole administration in Bali cattle effectively reduces gastrointestinal nematode infections, but its efficacy varies depending on the nematode species, with the highest resistance indication observed in Cooperia sp. Treatment of nematode infections in Bali cattle with Albendazole should be accompanied by anthelmintic rotation to prevent resistance, along with improved barn hygiene and feed management to reduce the risk of reinfection.

Abstract

The skin is the largest and outermost organ that can be directly observed. The skin plays a crucial role for bali ducks as a protective barrier against the environment, maintaining body temperature, retaining body fluids, and neurosensory functions. This study aims to determine the structure of the bali duck skin (Anas sp.) during the grower phase. This study used ten bali ducks aged 3 months. The histological structure was observed using a binocular light microscope. The histological structure was analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The structure of bali duck skin consists of three layers: epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis has three layers: stratum corneum, stratum intermedium, and stratum basale. The dermis has two layers: stratum compactum and stratum laxum. The tissues found in the bali duck skin include feather follicles, blood vessels, Herbst corpuscles, connective tissue, and musculus erector pili. Based on the research conducted, no differences in the histological structure of the skin were found across the three regions. Further research is needed on the skin structure of Bali ducks at different phases and sexes to obtain more comprehensive data, and specific histological studies are required to identify the skin histology of Bali ducks in greater detail.

Abstract

Rhinitis is an upper respiratory tract disorder in cats that involves irritation and inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Cats suffering from rhinitis may exhibit various clinical signs, such as sneezing, coughing, fever, respiratory distress (either in the form of rapid or slow breathing), nasal discharge, hypersalivation, excessive tearing, and lymph node swelling. This article aims to identify the results of anamnesis, clinical signs, and supporting examination findings in a feline case to determine the diagnosis and evaluate the provided therapy. The case subject is a 6-year-old cat named Kumeng, weighing 3.4 kg, with a tabby coat and local breed. The cat has been experiencing symptoms such as sneezing, nasal discharge, and difficulty breathing for the past five months. Physical examination revealed nasal discharge. Supporting examination findings, such as X-rays, showed no changes in the lower respiratory tract but nasal examination show increased opacity, and hematological results were normal. However, bacterial isolation from the nasal discharge identified the presence of four bacteria: Staphylococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Proteus sp., and Micrococcus sp. Cytological examination of the discharge also showed the presence of inflammatory neutrophil cells. The treatment provided included doxycycline hyclate at 10 mg/kg body weight q24h for 14 days, the anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone at 0.5 mg/kg body weight q24h for 7 days, the mucolytic bromhexine HCl at 1 mg/kg body weight q24h, and a multivitamin tablet q24h. On the 14th day after treatment, the frequency of sneezing in the cat was reduced, and the nasal discharge became more watery and clear.

Abstract

The use of paracetamol in high doses or over a long period of time can cause nephrotoxicity due to the accumulation of toxic metabolites. One of the natural ingredients that has the potential for protective effects against kidney damage is sea grapes (Caulerpa lentillifera), which are rich in antioxidant compounds. This study aims to evaluate the benefit of administering sea grape simplex on the histopathology of kidneys given paracetamol. This study used white rats (Rattus norvegicus) which were divided into five treatment groups, namely the negative control group (P0), the positive control group (P1) which was given 250mg/kgBW of paracetamol, and groups P2, P3, and P4 which were given paracetamol (250 mg/kgBW) with the addition of sea grape simplicia of 10 g/kgBW, 15 g/kgBW, and 20 g/kgBW respectively. After 14 days of treatment, the rat kidneys were taken and analyzed histopathologically using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The results of the study showed that group P1 experienced significant renal necrosis and congestion (P < 0.05) compared to P0. The treatment groups (P2, P3, and P4) showed a tendency towards decreased levels of necrosis and congestion, but were not statistically significantly different compared to P1 (P > 0.05). In conclusion, administration of sea grape simplicia at the doses used in this study did not provide a significant protective effect against paracetamol-induced nephrotoxicity. Further studies with higher doses and longer duration of administration are needed to explore its potential nephroprotective effects.

Abstract

The animal used as case in this report is a pig came from a farm in Perean Village, Baturiti District, Tabanan, Bali. It is a male piglet aged ± 2 months which was reported to have had continuous diarrhea for 6 days. The piglet was also showing symptoms such as emaciation, weakness and anorexia. This case study aims to discuss the anatomical pathology findings, histopathology and laboratory examination results of the piglet which is suspected of being infected with colibacillosis. The examination method consists of collecting data related to epidemiology, necropsy and data on anatomical pathological changes, histopathological preparations and histopathological change lesion findings, culture and identification of bacteria, and identification of parasites. All data results obtained will then be analyzed qualitative descriptively (Dharmayanti, 2022). Necropsy result shows haemorrrhage in almost all organs, along with distension and swelling in the intestines and stomach. Histopathological examination shows bleeding and inflammation in brain, trachea, spleen, and large intestine, as well as inflammation and necrosis in the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, stomach and small intestine. In the bacteriological examination, the bacterial agent E. coli was successfully isolated from heart and lungs. While the parasitological examination did not reveal any parasitic agents involved. Based on series of examinations that had been carried out, it is concluded that the piglet is infected with colibacillosis. It is recommended to improve sanitation of the cage and surrounding areas in order to further reduce the risk of colibacillosis transmission amongst pigs.

Abstract

Biosecurity is a crucial aspect of layer poultry farming to prevent the spread of diseases that can cause economic losses. This study aims to evaluate the level of biosecurity implementation in layer poultry farms in Senganan Village, Penebel District, Tabanan Regency. The research employed a survey method with a cross-sectional approach, collecting data through direct interviews with 24 farmers using a questionnaire. The results of the study showed that the application of biosecurity on laying hen farms in Senganan Village was categorized as lacking for the isolation aspect (36.66%), good for the traffic control aspect (60%), and sufficient for the sanitation aspect (50.83%). Farmers' awareness of the importance of biosecurity is relatively high (75.83%); however, its application remains suboptimal, particularly in isolating newly arrived and sick chickens. These findings highlight the need to strengthen education and technical guidance for farmers, particularly in the application of isolation and sanitation practices, to improve disease control efficiency and ensure the sustainability of layer poultry farming operations.

Abstract

Anestrus is a condition in female animals that do not show symptoms of estrus for a long period of time. Anestrus in cows can cause physiological, environmental and management changes. Gamal leaves can be used as a source of protein for livestock. Mother cows experience fluctuating hematological changes, such as hemoglobinemia, erythropenia and leucocythemia. This study aims to determine the effect of gamal block on hemoglobin levels, total erythrocytes, hematocrit values ​​and total leukocytes in Bali cattle experiencing anestrus. This research used 6 anestrus Bali cattle selected using purposive sampling. The six cows were given gamal block treatment with a composition of 250 grams of gamal leaf simplicial, 200 ml propylene glycol and 4 grams of salt for 14 days. After that, a 2ml blood sample was taken via the jugular vein on day 0, day 10 and day 20. The results of the study obtained mean hemoglobin levels sequentially on days 0, 10 and 20, namely 8.98 ± 0.23 g/dL, 8.78 ± 0.23 g/dL, 8.26 ± 0, 23 g/dL. Total erythrocytes were 4.80±0.18 106/μL, 4.92±0.18 106/μL, 4.73±0.18106/μL respectively. Hematocrit values ​​were 29.53 ± 0.60 %, 28.23 ± 0.60 %, 26.64 ± 0.61 %, respectively. And total leukocytes were 7.21±0.27 103/μL, 7.56±0.27 103/μL, 6.63±0.27 103/μL respectively. The statistical results showed that giving gamal leaf blocks for 14 days did not affect hemoglobin levels, total erythrocytes, hematocrit values ​​and total leukocytes in Bali cattle experiencing anestrus.

Abstract

Ascites can be caused by various factors, generally impaired heart, liver, kidney function, parasitic infestation, and malnutrition. Liver dysfunction is classified as prehepatic, hepatic, and posthepatic. This case study aims to determine how to diagnose and treat ascites cases due to liver dysfunction in cats. A domestic cat named Memeng, a 3-year-old female weighing 1.8 kg, complained of an enlarged abdomen for four months. On clinical examination, abdominal distension was found due to fluid accumulation accompanied by abdominal vein distension, when palpating the abdomen, the liver felt hard and protruding so that the abdomen looked asymmetrical between the two sides of the cat's abdomen, rapid breathing and unbalanced walking. Hematology examination, FIPV kit test and blood chemistry and X-rays were performed twice on the 2nd and 14th days. Hematology examination showed that the case cat had microcytic hypochromic anemia, leukocytosis, neutrophillia, monocytosis, and thrombocytopenia. The FIPV kit test showed negative results. The results of the blood biochemistry examination on the 2nd day showed an increase in Globulin, Alanine aminotransferase, Aspartate aminotransferase, Amylase and a decrease in Albumin values. The blood biochemistry examination on the 14th day showed normal results in all indicators. The results of the X-ray examination on the 2nd day showed radioopacity in the abdominal region indicating fluid accumulation so that the organs were not visible. The X-ray examination on the 14th day showed that the organs in the abdominal region were slightly visible indicating reduced fluid accumulation. Based on the anamnesis, clinical examination, and supporting tests, the case cat was diagnosed with ascites due to impaired liver function with a dubious prognosis. The case cat was treated with Furosemide, Ringer Lactate, Cefotaxime, Dexamethasone, Hematodin, Nutramarin and Albusmin. The cat's food was replaced with Royal canin hepatic. The results of the case cat's treatment improved with reduced fluid in the abdomen, blood chemistry results returned to normal, the stomach began to look smaller, both sides of the abdomen returned to being symmetrical, abdominal vein distension decreased, breathing was normal, walking was balanced, the cat was active again and muscle mass increased. Advice for owners to regularly evaluate their cat's health with a veterinarian.

Abstract

Processing corn plant waste into silage by adding additives is one way to improve the quality of the waste. EM4 is a microorganism that is usually used as an additive in silage making, while liquid smoke is an antibacterial and antioxidant that can prevent the growth of putrefactive bacteria. The aim of this research is to determine how the physical and chemical quality of corn plant waste silage is influenced by the addition of liquid smoke additives. This study was carried out using the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) Method. Which consisted of 4 treatments and 5 replications to obtain 20 experimental units. Testing of 4 treatment groups, namely P0: EM4 2%, P1: Liquid Smoke 2%, P2: Concentration of 1% Liquid Smoke and 2% EM4, and P3: Concentration of 2% Liquid Smoke and EM4 2%. Physical quality was obtained by organoleptic testing involving 20 respondents with texture, color and aroma parameters, as well as pH testing, while chemical quality was obtained by proximate testing consisting of; BK, KA, SK, PK and BETN. The observation data and analysis results were tested using the One Way Anova statistical test method and the Duncan test with SPSS 25. The addition of liquid smoke additives reduced the percentage of mold and improved the physical quality of color in corn plant silage. and produces the same physical quality by administering the EM4 additive or a combination thereof. It is necessary to carry out further tests in the form of the Van Soest test to determine the fiber fraction and in vitro testing to determine the digestibility and fermentation quality of corn silage.
