Abstract

Broiler chickens are a superior breed resulting from crossbreeding different chicken breeds with high productivity, especially in meat production. Chicken feces are the final product of the digestion process of feed and water consumed by livestock, in both liquid and solid forms. This study aims to determine the total plate count (TPC) of bacteria present in the feces of broiler chickens at the starter and finisher stages in Badung Regency. This research is an observational study using purposive stratified random sampling with a quantitative analysis approach. A total of 3 grams of broiler chicken feces were collected from each farm in Mengwi, Abiansemal, and Petang Districts. The total plate count of bacteria was determined using the culture method on Nutrient Agar media. The identified bacterial colonies had characteristics such as a clear white color, round shape, and glossy appearance. Data analysis was performed using variance analysis (ANOVA), and if significant differences were found (P<0.05), Duncan’s Multiple Range Test was conducted. Before analysis, the TPC data were transformed into log Y. The results showed that the TPC (log Y) in Mengwi District was 8.0608 CFU/g at 1-21 days of age and 7.6132 CFU/g at 22-35 days of age. In Abiansemal District, the values were 8.0928 CFU/g at 1-21 days and 7.7941 CFU/g at 22-35 days, while in Petang District, the values were 8.1476 CFU/g at 1-21 days and 7.9565 CFU/g at 22-35 days. Overall, the highest TPC was found in Petang District, followed by Abiansemal and Mengwi. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference (P<0.05) in the total plate count of bacteria in broiler chicken feces across the three districts based on the age groups of 1-21 days and 22-35 days. Further research is needed on broiler farm waste management following Indonesian National Standards (SNI) .

Abstract

Mimosine in the lamtoro plant (Leucaena leucochepala) is a toxic or anti-nutritional ingredient which is reported to mainly cause hair loss in cattle. In addition, there is the possibility of many impacts on body tissue as a result of consuming feed ingredients containing mimosine. This study aims to determine the impact of mimosine in lamtoro leaf powder on histopathological changes in the pancreas of white rats (Rattus norvegicus). A total of 18 male Wistar strain white rats, 2 months old with a body weight of 250-300 g, were used in this study. Rats were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups, namely group P0 as a negative control (placebo), group P1 as a positive control given pure mimosine produced by Sigma at a dose of 5 mg/day, group P2 given mimosine from lamtoro leaf powder as a positive control at a dose of 50 mg/day Treatment was carried out every day for 14 days with a sonde. On day 15, all mice were euthanized and sacrificed for their pancreatic tissue. Next, the pancreas is processed to make histopathological preparations using the hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining method. Histopathological changes examined included lesions of congestion, bleeding and necrosis. Examination data is scored according to the distribution of lesions, namely normal criteria (score 0) if there are no lesions, mild criteria (score 1) if the lesion is focal, moderate criteria (score 2) if the lesion is multifocal and severe criteria (score 3) if the lesion is diffuse. The results of the examination showed that moderate levels of congestion lesions were found when mimosine was administered in lamtoro leaf powder. Mild necrotic lesions were found when mimosine was administered in lamtoro leaf powder, while moderate levels of necrotic lesions were found when standard mimosine was administered. It can be concluded that mimosine in lamtoro leaf powder can cause milder necrosis in the pancreas of white rats than standard mimosine administration. The flavonoid, tannin and protein components in lamtoro leaf powder can reduce the toxicity of mimosine. To reduce the effects of mimosine poisoning, it is best to limit the feeding of lamtoro leaves to livestock or before giving them to livestock, they should be given treatment to reduce the toxic effects.

Abstract

Although cats are highly popular pets due to their high reproductive rates and good adaptability, many cat owners still neglect the necessary care for their pets, which can lead to the development of diseases. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly examine and correctly identify the diseases in cats so that appropriate treatment can be administered. The case involves a male cat named Lusi, aged 3 months, weighing 0.8 kg, a local breed with black and white fur, who has been reported to have sneezing and eye problems. A thorough physical examination was carried out, including pre-presence status and clinical assessment, focusing on the eyes and respiratory organs. Laboratory tests conducted included routine hematology, cytology of nasal and eye swabs, X-ray, Fluorescein Stain test, tonometry, and Rapid Antigen Test (Feline Calicivirus and Feline Herpesvirus). Clinical examination results showed mucopurulent discharge from the nose and both eyes, with conjunctival swelling and redness. Laboratory hematology results indicated anemia and leukocytosis, while cytological examination of the nasal and eye swabs revealed inflammatory neutrophil cells and bacteria. Fluorescein test, tonometry, and X-ray of the head and thoracic cavities were normal, and the antigen tests (Feline Calicivirus and Feline Herpesvirus) returned negative results. The cat was diagnosed with rhinitis accompanied by conjunctivitis with a favorable prognosis. This was supported by the anamnesis, clinical examination, and other supporting tests. The case was treated with antibiotics for seven days, resulting in improvement as the discharge and sneezing resolved. Owners are advised to pay more attention to maintaining a clean and healthy environment for their cats, as damp or dirty environments can foster the growth of bacteria and viruses that cause upper respiratory infections.

Abstract

Newcastle Disease (ND), also known as tetelo, is one of the major poultry diseases that causes significant economic losses in the poultry industry due to decreased productivity and increased mortality rates in broiler chickens. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Phyllanthus niruri Linn (green meniran) extract at different oral doses on ND antibody titers in broiler chickens. This study employed an experimental method with a completely randomized design, involving 30 broiler chickens divided into three treatment groups: a control group (without extract), a group receiving Phyllanthus niruri extract at a dose of 7 mg/kgW/day, and a group receiving 9 mg/kgW/day for four weeks. ND antibody titers were analyzed using the Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test. The results showed that the administration of Phyllanthus niruri extract significantly increased ND antibody titers, with the highest immune response observed in the group receiving 9 mg/kg W/day compared to the 7 mg/kg W/day and control groups. The increase in antibody titers was noticeable from the first week post-vaccination and peaked in the second week. These findings suggest that Phyllanthus niruri extract has potential as a natural immunostimulant to enhance immune responses against ND in broiler chickens. Further studies are needed to evaluate higher doses and the long-term effects of Phyllanthus niruri extract administration on the health and productivity of broiler chickens.

Abstract

Tonsils are an entry and growth site for microbial colonisation and pathogenic bacteria. The tonsils of pig harbour both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Some Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, Enterococcus, lactobacillus and Streptococcus can threaten pig productivity. Therefore, this study aimed to identify Gram-positive bacterial species isolated from pig tonsils using the catalase test and to determine their virulence characteristics based on hemolysis types on blood agar. A total of 74 presumptive Gram-positive isolates preserved in 30% glycerol were cultured and tested using Gram staining, catalase tests, and hemolysis assays. The results indicated that all isolates were Gram-positive, with 56.7% identified as Staphylococcus (catalase-positive) and 43.3% as Streptococcus (catalase-negative). Hemolysis tests showed that 43.2% of the isolates were alpha-hemolytic, 41.8% beta-hemolytic, and 15% gamma-hemolytic. Beta hemolysis is associated with high virulence, while alpha and gamma hemolysis are generally linked to opportunistic or non-pathogenic bacteria. This study provides preliminary insights into the identification of potential pathogenic bacteria in pig tonsils and their virulence characteristics based on hemolysis types.

Abstract

Gram-negative bacteria are microorganisms characterized by significant pathogenic potential and are implicated in a wide range of infections affecting both humans and animals. The tonsils, as lymphoid organs integral to the immune system, can act as niches for bacterial colonization due to their conducive microenvironment for microbial growth. This study aimed to identify Gram-negative bacterial species isolated from porcine tonsils through morphological characterization, oxidase testing, and biochemical profiling using the Methyl Red–Voges-Proskauer (MR-VP) tests, as well as to determine the proportional distribution of the identified bacterial taxa. A total of ten presumptive Gram-negative bacterial isolates, preserved in 30% glycerol, were examined at the Veterinary Public Health Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University. The isolates underwent Gram staining, oxidase assay, and MR-VP biochemical testing. The results revealed that seven of the ten isolates (70%) were identified as Pseudomonas spp., while the remaining three isolates (30%) belonged to the family Enterobacteriaceae. All isolates tested positive for the MR test, whereas eight isolates were positive and two negative in the VP test. These findings suggest that porcine tonsils may serve as reservoirs for Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas spp. and members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, which may possess zoonotic potential and thus warrant further surveillance and risk assessment.

Abstract

Research on the total and differential leukocytes of post-vaccination laying hens which was carried out on commercial farms in Tabanan Regency, Bali aims to determine and study the effect of combination vaccines Newcastle Disease LaSota strains and Infectious Bronchitis on the total number and types of leukocytes in the blood. A total of 40 laying hens aged 30 weeks were taken using purposive sampling for the research sample. Chicken blood samples were taken four times, starting from pre-vaccination to three weeks post-vaccination. The total leukocyte count is checked using a hemocytometer, while the leukocyte differential is checked using a blood smear. Data from total and differential leukocyte examination results were analyzed quantitatively descriptively. The results showed that there was a significant effect (p<0.05) on total leukocytes, heterophils, eosinophils and lymphocytes, and no significant effect (p>0.05) on basophils and monocytes.
