Abstract

Supportive therapy using immunomodulators is one of the therapeutic options that can be used to increase or restore the balance of the body's immune system. The upper respiratory tract disease that often occurs in cats is rhinitis. This article aims to describe the incidence of rhinitis due to bacterial infection in local cats, a series of examinations to determine the diagnosis, and supportive therapy given using immunomodulators. The examinations carried out were physical examination, routine hematology, radiography, cytology, isolation and identification of bacteria and fungi. The results of the physical examination of the case cat found serous discharge coming out of the nose, and occasional sneezing followed by the release of serous discharge. The right mandibular lymph node was swollen. Seven days later the discharge turned purulent. The results of routine hematology examination showed that the case cat had leukocytosis. The results of the cytology of the case cat found a lot of neutrophil inflammatory cell infiltration. The results of the isolation and identification of bacteria and fungi with samples of the case cat's nasal discharge showed the presence of Enterococcus sp. Based on the anamnesis, physical examination, and laboratory examination, the cat was diagnosed with rhinitis with a fausta prognosis. The therapy given was cefixime (10 mg/kg BW) orally twice a day for 7 days, methylprednosolone (2 mg/kg BW) once a day for 4 days, and supportive therapy was also given, namely 4life Transfer factor Plus Tri Factor®Formula once a day for 7 days giving good results. On the seventh day, there was no discharge coming out of the nose and sneezing was no longer occurring. It is necessary to educate the owners of cats in cases about the importance of providing early rhinitis treatment so that the infection does not continue to worsen.

Abstract

The main cause of antibiotic resistance is the misuse and excess of antibiotics. Other factors are misunderstanding of antibiotic use, inappropriate antibiotic dosage, the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and antibiotics sold freely without a doctor's prescription. The purpose of this study was to determine the percentage of antibiotic use among pig farms, the types of antibiotics used and the status of antibiotic use by pig farmers in Sebatu Village, Tegallalang District, Gianyar Regency, Bali. The study used observational and interview methods in the form of questionnaires distributed to pig farmers. Data were analyzed descriptively and then displayed in tables and figures. The percentage of respondents who used antibiotics under the supervision of a veterinarian was 56.67% (17/30 respondents) and 43.33% (13/30 respondents) of pig farmers provided independent treatment for livestock without supervision from a veterinarian. (33.33%) pig farmers obtained antibiotics from drug stores, (10%) from other farmers. The types of antibiotics used were the Tetracycline group (92.3%); Penicillin (30.7%); Sulfonamides (38.4%); Aminoglycosides (23.0%). Selecting antibiotics based on the needs of sick animals (26.67%); Selected by drug sellers (16.67%); dosage determined by drug brochures (30%); Previous experience (13.33%); Farmers' knowledge of antibiotics and their functions (63.33%); do not know (36.67%) and farmers already know that using antibiotics must be under the supervision of a veterinarian (60%); do not know (40%). The percentage of pig farmers who use antibiotics in Sebatu Village, Tegallalang District, Gianyar Regency, Bali reached 43.33% (13 farmers) independently without the supervision of a veterinarian with various types of antibiotic groups.

Abstract

Sarcoptes scabiei and Notoedres cati are parasites that cause scabies by burrowing tunnels under the epidermal layer of the skin. Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous and systemic fungal infection in animals caused by Sporothrix spp. This case report aims to provide additional reference for the management of scabies and sporotrichosis cases. The case subject, a three-month-old female cat named Miya, exhibited itching, skin thickening, hair loss, and dandruff on several parts of the body, accompanied by decreased appetite since being adopted a week earlier. Physical examination revealed alopecia, hyperkeratosis, and scaling on the ear pinna and all four legs, as well as crusts and scales on the back, with a pruritus score of 7/10. Additionally, the mucous membranes of the eyes and mouth appeared pale. Supportive diagnostic tests using skin scraping detected the mite Notoedres cati. Cytological examination using the tape acetate preparation method revealed spore formations identified as Sporothrix spp. A complete hematological test indicated that the cat suffered from normocytic normochromic anemia. The treatment regimen included ivermectin injection, sulfur baths, the antihistamines diphenhydramine HCl and cetirizine, as well as supplements such as Sangobion and fish oil. After 14 days of treatment, hyperkeratosis, scaling, crusts, and flakes disappeared, though alopecia on the ear pinna remained. The cat’s pruritus resolved, appetite improved, and mucous membranes turned pink. The conclusion of this case report is that the 14-day treatment method proved to be effective in the recovery of the affected cat. In addition to effective treatment, maintaining a clean environment is recommended to prevent reinfection.

Abstract

Meat is highly perishable food that easily contaminated by various microorganisms from its surrounding environment. Meat has the potential to serve as a growth medium for microbes such as Coliform bacteria, due to its high nutritional content. The presence of Coliform bacteria in certain quantities can be an indicator of hygiene and a sign of the presence of pathogenic bacteria. One of the Coliform species frequently found in contaminated chicken meat is Escherichia coli (E. coli). While Escherichia coli is a normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract, some strains are pathogenic and can cause diarrheal diseases. This study aims to assess bacterial contamination in chicken and fish meat sold in traditional markets, ensuring food safety and preventing foodborne diseases. The method used in this research is a literature review, by sourcing relevant scientific articles and research journals related to the topic. The results showed that in chicken meat there were 87 samples tested positive for Coliform and 16 samples tested negative, whereas in fish meat there were 6 samples positive for Coliform, and 4 samples tested negative. The bacterial contamination was attributed to a lack of attention to hygiene during the processing, storage, and distribution of chicken meat. The researchers concluded that Coliform contamination found in meat sold in traditional markets contributes to the degradation of meat quality, rendering it unsuitable for human consumption. Therefore, strategies are needed to prevent and control contamination in the distribution of chicken and fish meat. This includes ensuring sanitation during slaughtering, processing, environmental cleanliness, unloading from fishing vessels, marketing, storage, and distribution to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. Additionally, the use of effective disinfectants that comply with food safety standards is crucial to achieving a “from farm to table” approach.

Abstract

Calculi of the urinary vesica is one of the many problems that can occur in pets, especially dogs. This case study aims to find out how to diagnose and treat a case of urinary vesica calculi in a female dog. A female pomeranian dog named Monna, aged 2.4 years with a body weight of 2.7 kg had complaints of difficulty urinating, straining when urinating, and blood in the urine which lasted for approximately 3 months. Supporting examinations were carried out in the form of an ultrasound examination with the discovery of a hyperechoic mass formation in the vesica urinaria suspected of calculi and radiographic examination found a radiopaque image in the vesica urinaria which was believed to be calculi. Based on the results of the supporting examination, the dog was diagnosed with calculi in the vesica urinaria with a prognosis of fausta. The dog was treated with laparocystotomy surgery using a combination of xylazine and ketamine anesthesia intravenously. The calculi found in the case dog showed characteristics of rough, sharp and jagged edges, irregular round shape, with a hard and strong composition, where the calculi found in this case were calculi formed from calcium oxalate. Postoperatively the dog was given Cefotaxime antibiotics (20 mg/kg BW, q12, IV) for 3 days and continued with Cefixime antibiotics (10 mg/kg BW, q12, PO) for 7 days. On the 10th postoperative day, the surgical wound had dried and fused perfectly. The dog had normal activities, normal defecation and urination.

Abstract

Semen diluent is a solution that serves to maintain the quality of spermatozoa during storage and facilitate artificial insemination. The use of natural-based diluents is still rare, so it is necessary to develop diluents that utilize available natural resources. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding various concentrations of sugarcane water in egg yolk phosphate diluent on the quality of Cemani chicken semen stored for 48 hours at 5°C. This study used three cemani chickens with an age range of approximately seven months, in a healthy condition, and trained to collect sperm. The process of collecting chicken semen is done by massage method. This study used a completely randomized design with six treatments, namely the addition of sugarcane water as much as 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. Semen was stored for 48 hours at 5˚C. Parameters observed were motility, viability, and abnormality of spermatozoa. Each treatment was repeated four times. Data were analyzed using ANOVA test, followed by Ducan test if there were significant differences. The results showed that 20% egg yolk phosphate diluent with various concentrations of water had a significant effect (P<0.05) on motility, viability, and abnormality of cemani chicken semen. After the Ducan test, treatment T3 (phosphate buffer + 20% egg yolk + 15% cane water) produced the best semen quality, when compared to T0, T1, T2, T4, and T5, with a motility percentage of 62.50 ± 2.08%, viability 70.75 ± 2.75%, and abnormality 8.25 ± 0.96%. So, it can be concluded that the diluent formula that has the best results on the quality of spermatozoa stored for 48 hours is the treatment in phosphate buffer 20% egg yolk + 15% sugarcane water.

Abstract

Wolbachia is a naturally occurring bacterium found in various insects, such as fruit flies, butterflies, and moths. It has been utilized as an innovative strategy to control the spread of dengue fever by releasing Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. This study aimed to assess the public’s understanding of the benefits of Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes as a dengue control measure. Data were collected through questionnaire-based interviews with residents of Banjar Pande and Banjar Pasekan in Kaba-Kaba Village, Kediri District, Tabanan Regency. Pre-test results revealed that the level of knowledge among Banjar Pande residents was 50%, attitude 45%, and behavior 66%. Meanwhile, in Banjar Pasekan, pre-test scores for knowledge, attitude, and behavior were 47%, 47%, and 60%, respectively. These findings indicate that, prior to educational interventions, community awareness, attitudes, and behavior regarding Wolbachia mosquitoes as a dengue control strategy were at a moderate level. Post-test results demonstrated significant improvements, with the community exhibiting deeper knowledge, increased concern, and greater acceptance of Wolbachia technology. This study concludes that targeted education effectively enhances public awareness and support for Wolbachia as a sustainable dengue prevention approach.

Abstract

Carcasses and offal are a livestock slaughter product with high economic value, including lungs, which are widely consumed in Indonesia, especially during Eid al-Adha. However, since the lungs play a role in the animal’s respiratory system, this organ is susceptible to various diseases, such as tuberculosis and anthrax, which have zoonotic potential. Therefore, this study aims to determine the percentage of carcass feasibility (lungs) of sacrificial goats distributed to the community during Eid al-Adha 2024 in Jimbaran based on the final decision of the postmortem examination. This study was conducted through postmortem examinations on goat lung organs, assessing shape, color, consistency, and odor. The examinations were carried out at seven slaughter locations in Jimbaran, with a total of 25 lung samples. The results showed 15 out of 25 samples were suitable for human consumption, 1 out of 25 samples was rejected for human consumption, 6 out of 25 samples were suitable for consumption after removing the unfit parts, and 3 out of 25 samples were suitable for human consumption after undergoing special treatment in the form of heating. Based on this study, it can be concluded that goat lungs from sacrificial animals during Eid al-Adha 2024 in Jimbaran were mostly suitable for human consumption, with a percentage of 60%, 24% suitable for consumption after removing the unfit parts, 12% suitable for consumption after undergoing special heating treatment, and only 4% rejected for human consumption. It is recommended to strengthen both antemortem and postmortem inspections, particularly focusing on internal organs such as the lungs, to detect early signs of disease. This approach is expected to minimize the distribution of organs that are unfit for consumption and increase the percentage of goat lungs that meet the standards of safe, healthy, wholesome, and halal.

Abstract

This study aims to map the correlation and variability of body circumference measurements in male and female Etawah Crossbreed (PE) goats with mature body age (8–12 months) in Umejero Village, Busungbiu District, Buleleng Regency. A total of 81 PE goats—44 males and 37 females—were measured. Data collection involved direct measurement of neck circumference, chest circumference, hip circumference, and front canon leg circumference. Data were analyzed using error-bar graphs, correlation tests, and biplot mapping with varimax rotation via SPSS software. The results showed that male goats generally had larger body circumferences than females, although the differences were not statistically significant. A positive correlation was found among neck, chest, and hip circumferences, while the front canon leg circumference showed no significant correlation with the other variables. The greatest variation was observed in the front canon leg circumference (vector norm 0.9871), whereas the neck circumference showed the least variation (vector norm 0.6033), indicating higher uniformity. The biplot mapping successfully classified individuals into four quadrants based on morphological similarities, with Quadrant I representing goats with optimal body dimensions. These findings serve as a useful reference for selecting productive and proportional PE goats, supporting breeding and livestock management strategies in local farming systems.

Abstract

Crossbred etawah goats are one of the ruminant livestock breeds with great potential as milk producers with high nutritional value. One of the important factors that can influence milk productivity is milking time. This study aims to determine the effect of milking time on the milk yield of crossbred etawah goats. This research employed a quantitative method with an experimental approach. The sample consisted of 15 crossbred etawah goats milked twice daily for seven consecutive days. The collected data were analyzed using simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software. The results showed a significant effect of milking time on milk production. Morning milking produced a higher volume of milk compared to afternoon milking with a sig value of 0.001. This is presumably due to a longer rest period at night and cooler environmental conditions in the morning. Hormonal factors, such as the hormone prolactin which influences the lactation process, also tend to be more active in the morning, which can increase milk production. It can be concluded that milking time affects the milk yield of crossbred etawah goats with morning milking being more effective in increasing production. Milking time is an important aspect in the lactation management of dairy goats. It is recommended that farmers optimize morning milking schedules to achieve maximum milk yield.
