Abstract

Several viruses often infect pigs which can cause major losses for farmers. Viral infections in pigs can be subclinical, chronic and acute. Viral diseases in pigs often result in mass deaths on pig farms, causing economic losses and not only that, they can also threaten human lives depending on the virus variant that causes them. Various symptoms such as flu, fever, lack of appetite, paralysis, bleeding in various organs will be found according to the degree of severity. The purpose of this article is to describe several viral infections in pigs that are very threatening and have been reported to cause major losses for farmers, namely: African swine fever (ASF), hog cholera (HC), & Swine influenza (SI). African swine fever is a very contagious disease that arises due to infection with the genus Asfivirus virus of the Asfarviridae family which is encoded by double-stranded DNA genetic material. ASF disease is reported to have caused mortality in pig farms reaching 100%. Likewise, HC disease, also known as cholera disease in pigs, can be fatal in pigs with a mortality rate of up to 100%. In contrast to swine influenza, also known as swine flu, it is a viral disease that is chronic and zoonotic. It is reported that swine flu has triggered flu outbreaks in humans since 1918 until now. Various factors influence the level of disease spread, namely monitoring livestock traffic, biosecurity of cages, the presence of vaccinations and the presence or absence of vectors as well as the use of swill feed as animal feed. So knowledge is needed about the diseases that really threaten pigs which will have an impact on farmers' finances. The results of this literature review add to scientific references related to viral diseases in pig farming. In this way, it will increase knowledge for readers, breeders and academics so that they can provide prevention and control of viral diseases in pig farms. And also, it is expected that there is counseling from related instances about livestock health management in the prevention and control of diseases in pigs.

Abstract

Serangan Waters Area, Bali, has a mangrove forest covering an area of ​​98 ha, with 33 ha in the PT BTID area. This mangrove consists of natural and rehabilitated vegetation that functions as a nursery ground for fish. This study aims to determine the reproductive aspects of fish predominantly caught in the natural and rehabilitated mangrove ecosystems in the Serangan waters, of Bali. As well as to determine the condition of the waters including temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and acidity as supporting aspects of aquatic ecology. The reproductive aspects of fish that are predominantly caught in the Serangan waters were carried out for four months from June to September 2024. The study used a quantitative descriptive method. Data analysis was carried out using Excel software. Fish samples were caught at four natural mangrove stations and four rehabilitated mangrove stations using experimental gill nets (1.0; 2.0; 2.5 inches), traps, and nets. The number of fish caught was 502 individuals consisting of 17 orders, 28 families, 39 species, but only the dominant fish species caught highest in the waters of the natural and rehabilitated mangrove ecosystems were used, namely Ambassis macracanthus as many as 213 individuals, Gerres oyena as many as 76 individuals and Fibramia lateralis fish 34 individuals. The results of the study showed that the sex ratio in the rehabilitated mangrove was more balanced than in the natural mangrove, but the total average value of the sex ratio in the natural mangrove was higher than in the rehabilitation. The level of gonad maturity of the dominant fish caught was more complete in the rehabilitated mangrove than in the natural mangrove. In general, the gonad maturity index (IKG) of natural mangroves tends to be lower than that of rehabilitated mangroves. Fecundity in natural mangroves is higher than that of rehabilitated mangroves. Water condition parameters show that the DO, pH, salinity, and temperature values ​​in the natural mangrove ecosystem are on average higher than those in the rehabilitation ecosystem. Based on the standard quality value, the pH in the rehabilitation ecosystem does not comply with the quality standard because it is below the minimum threshold. Research on food, feeding habits, and biology of fish is needed to understand fish reproduction. In addition, mangrove rehabilitation needs to be improved with habitat improvement, human activity control, and environmental monitoring for the sustainability of fish resources.

Abstract

Scabies is a skin infection caused by ectoparasites of the mite type, Sarcoptes scabiei. These mites infect the host's skin by making tunnels in the epidermis layer which will cause itching. This article aims to describe the occurrence of scabiosis due to Sarcoptes scabiei infection in local dogs. A series of examinations to determine the diagnosis, and the therapy given. A case study was conducted on a local male dog, named Boby, aged 4 months who had itching all over his body that had lasted for one month. Physical examination found alopecia, scales, and crusts on the head, hind legs, front legs, both ears, abdomen, back, and tail. Examination using the skin scraping method found Sarcoptes scabiei mites. Hematological examination showed that the case animal had lymphocytosis, monocytosis, granulocytopenia, hypochromic microcytic anemia, and thrombocytosis. Based on anamnesis, clinical examination results, and supporting examinations, the case animal was diagnosed with scabiosis with a prognosis of fausta. The case dog was given causative therapy in the form of ivermectin at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg BW, subcutaneous injection with two administrations at an interval of 28 days, Symptomatic therapy was given subcutaneous injection of diphenhydramine HCl at a dose of 3 mg/kg BW with two administrations at an interval of 28 days, chlorpheniramine maleate at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg BW orally for 14 days. Supportive therapy B-complex was given 1 tablet once a day for 21 days, fish oil as much as 1 tablet once a day for 20 days, and bathed with shampoo containing sulfur (twice a week). The results of treatment for 28 days showed changes in the condition of the case dog improving, pruritus, crusts, scales, lichenification began to decrease. On the 40th day the case dog showed new hair growth. The awareness of pet owners, especially those who keep dogs, must be increased by always maintaining the cleanliness of their dog's cage, eating utensils, and play equipment.

Abstract

Wound healing is the body's attempt to restore its structural integrity and normal function after tissue disruption. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is often used as a regenerative treatment by increasing the activity of growth factors in the blood to treat damaged tissue. Pig blood contains a high concentration of platelets that can support the wound healing process. The purpose of this study was to determine the macroscopic picture of incision wound healing on the skin of white rats given PRP gel from pig blood. The experimental animals used in this study were 27 wistar strain rats. There were three treatments carried out, namely the negative treatment group given 0.9% NaCl solution, the positive control group given bioplacenton, and the treatment group with pig blood PRP gel. Parameters used to determine the level of wound healing include wound length, wound color, wound moisture, and wound scab. Wound length data was analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (Anova). Meanwhile, data on wound color, wound scab, and wound moisture were analyzed by Kruskal Walls. The pig blood PRP gel treatment group had a significant effect on the incision wound healing rate than the negative and positive treatment groups (bioplacenton). PRP gel from pig blood can accelerate wound healing because it contains many growth factors that play an important role in tissue repair and regeneration. Further research is recommended to evaluate the effect of PRP on other types of wounds, such as burns or infectious wounds, as well as developing PRP preservation methods in other forms for wider clinical applications.

Abstract

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can be used as a regenerative treatment to enhance the activity of growth factors in the blood with the aim of wound healing. PRP can enhance neovascularization, fibroblast formation, and tissue epithelialization more quickly and efficiently. This study aims to determine the histopathological observation of incision wound healing on the skin of white rats given PRP gel. This study used male white rats of the Wistar strain, aged 2-2.5 months and weighing 200-300 grams. The 27 rats used were divided into three treatment groups: P0 (negative control, given 0.9% NaCl solution), P1 (positive control, given Bioplacenton), and P2 (given PRP Gel). The treatment was administered once after the skin had been incised and was given only once. On days 1, 5, and 11, a biopsy of the skin organ was performed for histopathological examination. Histopathological examination includes four indicators: inflammatory cell infiltration, angiogenesis, fibroblasts, and collagen density. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Mann-Whitney test, and then described descriptively. The research results show that the infiltration of inflammatory cells and collagen density indicate a difference (P≤0,05) in the group of receiving PRP gel compared to the negative and positive control groups. However, there was no difference in angiogenesis and fibroblasts (P>0.05). In the wound healing process, the histopathological picture of incisional wound healing in the skin of white rats (Rattus norvegicus) given pig blood PRP gel shows an increase and development. Therefore, further research can be conducted to create a more optimal PRP gel formulation, and histopathological examinations can be carried out over a longer observation period to obtain significant results.

Abstract

One of the factors that determine the success of artificial insemination in pig livestock is the quality of the semen used. The use of fresh semen without going through the dilution process will result in a decrease in the quality of spermatozoa. This study aims to determine the quality of Landrace pig semen in egg yolk palm water dilution with the addition of Apis dorsata and Trigona Sp. bee honey with a concentration of 3% each. This study used a complete random design pattern with five treatment groups, namely Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS) diluent as a control (P0), palm fruit water diluent (P1), egg yolk palm water diluent (P2), egg yolk palm water diluent plus A. dorsata honey (P3) and egg yolk palm water diluent plus Trigona Sp. honey (P4). The diluted cement is stored at 150C for 48 hours. The observed semen quality parameters are motility, abnormality, viability, intact plasma membrane and intact acrosome membrane. The results showed that the water semen dilution of egg yolk palm fruit with the addition of A. dorsata honey with a concentration of 3% resulted in the highest motility, viability, intact plasma membrane and intact acrosome membrane and the lowest spermatozoa abnormalities when compared to Trigona Sp. honey and other treatments. It can be concluded that the egg yolk palm fruit water dilutor with the addition of A. dorsata honey with a concentration of 3% is able to maintain the quality of Landrace pig spermatozoa stored at 150C for 48 hours. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research on the fertility and litter size of Landrace pigs that are inseminating with egg yolk palm fruit water diluent with the addition of A. dorsata honey with a concentration of 3%.

Abstract

Lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) is a widely used cattle feed in Indonesia due to its high protein, flavonoid, and tannin content. However, it contains mimosine, a compound whose effects on the liver remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the histopathological effects of mimosine on the liver of experimental animals. Twenty male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus), aged 2 months (150–200 g), were divided into four groups: a negative control (P0), a positive control given pure mimosine (5 mg/head/day, P1), and two groups administered mimosine from lamtoro leaf simplisia at 50 mg/head/day (P2) and 150 mg/head/day (P3). Treatments were administered orally for 14 days. On day 15, liver samples were collected, fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF), and processed for histopathological analysis using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. Lesions (congestion, inflammation, and necrosis) were scored on a scale of 0 (normal) to 3 (severe). Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Results showed that pure mimosine (5 mg) and lamtoro simplisia (50 mg and 150 mg) induced significant hepatic congestion compared to controls, while inflammation was not statistically significant. Necrosis was not observed in any group. No significant difference was found between the two doses of lamtoro simplisia. These findings suggest that mimosine, whether pure or derived from lamtoro leaves, induces mild to moderate liver damage, primarily congestion, but further research is needed to clarify its long-term effects.

Abstract

Traditional medicine is of sufficient concern to continue to be developed and strive to become part of formal medicine in Indonesia, in line with the "back to nature" trend. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using broiler waste (abdominal fat) as a wound medicine. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 3 replications, resulting in 12 samples. The treatment group was divided into 4 treatments, namely: Positive Control (P0), 1 time a day (P1), 2 times a day (P2), 3 times a day. The parameters observed were calculation of wound length, wound healing time, wound drying. Extension evaluation is an initial evaluation and final evaluation with a questionnaire. The results of the study showed that the fastest wound closure was P1, P2, P3 on day 14, while P0 wound closure had not occurred on day 14. This shows that chicken tallow oil P1, P2, P3 has faster wound closure activity when compared with betadine as a positive control. For further information, it is recommended to test the bacterial inhibitory parameters and identify the compounds present in the chicken fat oil.

Abstract

Scabies is a dermatological condition caused by the parasitic mite Sarcoptes scabiei. Infection with Sarcoptes scabiei induces severe pruritus, which can lead to alopecia and skin lesions. This disease is often accompanied by secondary infections, as the compromised immune response in affected individuals increases their susceptibility to opportunistic pathogens. Prompt and appropriate treatment is therefore essential to ensure a favorable prognosis. A 2.5-year-old mixed-breed female cat named Mimi, weighing 2.3 kg, presented with clinical signs of pruritus, sneezing, and nasal discharge from both nostrils, persisting for one month prior to examination. A physical examination revealed alopecia on the ear and neck regions, crusting on the ears and frontal area, mucous nasal discharge, and pale oral mucosa. Deep skin scraping of the alopecic and crusted areas identified the presence of Sarcoptes scabiei mites. Further radiographic evaluation revealed an alveolar pattern in the lungs. Additionally, microbiological analysis of the nasal discharge confirmed the presence of Streptococcus sp. A complete blood count indicated leukocytosis, lymphocytosis, and granulocytosis. Based on these findings, the cat was diagnosed with scabies complicated by bacterial pneumonia, with a favorable prognosis. The treatment regimen included scabies therapy with an ivermectin injection at a dose of 0.03 mL and diphenhydramine HCl at a dose of 0.3 mL, both administered subcutaneously. Antibiotic therapy consisted of amoxicillin combined with clavulanic acid (25 mg formulation), dosed at 62.5 mg (1 mL) per administration, given orally twice daily for 10 days. Anti-inflammatory treatment included methylprednisolone (4 mg formulation), dosed at 2 mg per 2–6 kg body weight, administered orally once daily for seven days. Supportive therapy comprised Sangobion syrup and fish oil to promote erythropoiesis and enhance hair regrowth. After seven days of treatment, the nasal discharge was absent, and sneezing episodes were significantly reduced. Progressive hair regrowth and weight gain were observed, with marked improvement continuing up to day 100.

Abstract

Animal health conditions have a direct impact on the city's image, influencing local residents' and visitors' perceptions of neighborhood cleanliness, health and safety. The ease with which cats can breed opens up opportunities for the spread of ectoparasitic infestations such as Lynxacarus radovskyi. This study aimed to obtain information and scientific data on the prevalence of lynxacariosis cases and risk factors for its occurrence. A total of 81 cats were used with sample examination methods such as superficial skin scrapping, tape acetate preparation test, and trichogram. The results of this study found that the prevalence of lynxacariosis in Denpasar was 12.3% (10/81) and the risk factor associated with the incidence of lynxacariosis was age (r = 0.024) and it was found that age had an 8 times risk (OR = 8,270) for the spread of lynxacariosis in Denpasar. Lynxacariosis needs to be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in feline skin diseases where the characteristic sign of granules resembling “salt-and-pepper” is not always seen but the scale is often seen, this will help veterinarians provide appropriate and effective treatment for infected cats.
