Abstract

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a disease that attack swine with high mortality. DNA vaccine against ASF had been tested in mouse, but the research in swine has not been done. The purpose of this study is to evaluate swine immune response against ASF DNA vaccine and time effect of serum collection against antibodies of ASF virus. The method that had been used is vaccinating the swine with ASF DNA vaccine intramuscularly and measuring humoral immune response with ELISA on collected swine serum in weeks 0, 2, and 4. The result pointing that ASF DNA vaccine can induce production of antibodies in treatment group compared with control group with Optical Density (OD) increasing value in weeks 2 and 4. The serum time collection also do affect antibodies level in every weeks that had been observed, that is weeks 0, 2, and 4 with significant increase between week 0 and 2, but between week 2 and 4 the antibodies level is not affected significantly. This study is recommending further research to observe protection effect of ASF DNA vaccine by extending research duration and observation of celluler immune response to support vaccine effectiveness in field.

Abstract

Improving the genetic quality and population of pigs can be done through the technology of artificial insemination (AI), which requires semen storage under optimal conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the motility, viability, and abnormality of Landrace pig spermatozoa diluted using palm fruit water with the addition of 20% egg yolk and 15% Moringa leaf extract, and stored at 15°-20°C for 72 hours. This study used a completely randomized design method with four treatment groups based on the length of storage: 0 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours. Fresh semen was collected from male Landrace pigs aged 1.5-2 years by massage method. Parameters measured were motility, viability, and abnormality of spermatozoa. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, followed by Games-Howell test if there were significant differences. The results showed that the length of storage had a significant effect on motility, viability, and abnormality of spermatozoa. After 72 hours of storage, sperm motility reached 40.83±1.17%, viability 53.50±1.38%, and abnormality 6.83±0.75%. The conclusion of this study is that the use of palm fruit water-based diluent with the addition of egg yolk and Moringa leaf extract still allows the storage of Landrace pig semen for 72 hours with acceptable quality. Further research is recommended to evaluate the potential of other additives to improve storability.

Abstract

Otitis is the most common cases that found in companion animal practitioners. Otitis defined as an inflammation that occurs in the ear canal that can be classified based on the location of the inflammation. Otitis externa is a term used for otitis that occurs in the ear canal, specifically outside the tympanic membrane. This disease can be caused by fungal, parasitic and bacterial infections. The main aim of this article is described the treatment of otitis externa in cats with mixed-infection by parasitic and bacterial infection. An intact female domestic cat ages seven months old, has had frequently shaking its head and scratching its ears for the past 3 weeks. On physical examination, dark cerumen was found on the right ear, and purulent lesions founded on the left ear and left forelimb paw. Laboratory examinations using swabbed on the ear canals that shows parasitic infections. Furthermore, from cytology was found inflammation cells and coccus-shaped bacteria on left ear, while rod-shaped bacteria on left forelimb paw. The isolation and identification of bacteria indicated the presence of secondary infections by Staphylococcus spp found on the ears. The cat was diagnosed with otitis externa with a good prognosis. The therapy carried out was by administration antibiotic namely Co-amoxiclav (Claneksi®) in the form syrup for 10 days, antiparasitic ear drops namely Ivermectin 0,02% (Vet-Otic®) for 7 days and anti-inflammatory drugs with methylprednisolone acetate tablet orally for 3 days. Evaluation of therapy conducted after 10 days of drugs administration that show an improvement of the cat’s health as indicated by the absence of head shaking and unseen of excessive cerumen, as well as a gradual decrease in the level of pruritus, and owners are advised to keep the cat's ears and environment clean, not allowing the cat to roam free

Abstract

Streptococcus suis is a pathogenic bacterium that causes disease in pigs and has zoonotic potential, leading to economic losses in the livestock industry and posing risks to human health. This experimental study employed a factorial completely randomized design to evaluate the primary antibody response to supernatant antigens in pigs vaccinated with inactivated Streptococcus suis vaccines formulated with different adjuvants. Twelve pigs were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: a control group (receiving only adjuvant without antigen), a vaccine group with Montanide ISA 201 VG adjuvant, and a vaccine group with Montanide Gel 01 adjuvant. Serum samples were collected weekly for five weeks, and antibody titers were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The results demonstrated that both adjuvanted vaccines significantly increased antibody titers compared to the control group. Antibody production was detectable from the second week post-vaccination, reaching peak levels in the fourth week. Comparative analysis revealed that Montanide ISA 201 VG induced slightly higher antibody responses than Montanide Gel 01. These findings support the use of inactivated Streptococcus suis vaccines with adjuvants as an effective preventive strategy to enhance immunity in swine populations and reduce the risk of zoonotic transmission.

Abstract

Paracetamol is a commonly consumed analgesic and antipyretic drug, but has the potential to cause brain toxicity if consumed excessively. Sea grapes are known to contain many bioactive compounds such as phenolics, polyphenols, flavonoids, caulerpin and chlorophyll which have the potential to protect the brain from paracetamol toxicity. This study aims to determine the effect of administering sea grapes (Caulerpa lentillifera) and the difference in dosage on the histopathology of the brain of white rats (Rattus norvegicus) given paracetamol. This study used 25 male white rats consisting of five treatments, namely treatment group P0 (negative control), P1 (paracetamol 250 mg/kg body weight (BW)), P2 (paracetamol 250 mg/kgBW with sea grapes 10 g/kgBW), P3 (paracetamol 250 mg/kgBW with sea grapes 15 g/kgBW) and P4 (paracetamol 250 mg/kgBW with sea grapes 20 g/kgBW). The treatment was given for fourteen days, and on the fifteenth day a necropsy was performed to take the brain organ to make a histopathology preparation with Hematoxylin-Eosin staining. The variables examined were congestion, edema and necrosis. Histopathological analysis revealed significant reductions in congestion and edema (P < 0.05) in sea grapes-treated groups (P2–P4), with the most pronounced effect at 20 g/kgBW. No necrosis was observed across all groups, which may be due to the dose of paracetamol or the duration of paracetamol administration being insufficient to cause necrosis. The results of this study indicate that sea grapes have the potential as a neuroprotective agent that protects the brain from oxidative damage due to high-dose drug consumption. Further research is needed to evaluate the effect of sea grapes on the brain of white rats given paracetamol, using higher doses of paracetamol and sea grapes, or with a longer research period.

Abstract

Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious infectious agent in dogs, with high morbidity and significant mortality rates, especially in unvaccinated animals. This study reports a case of CPV infection exacerbated by secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by Streptococcus sp. in a 10-month-old male mixed-breed dog in Denpasar, Bali. The dog exhibited clinical symptoms for four days, including bloody diarrhea, dehydration, anorexia, coughing, dyspnea, vomiting, and nasal discharge, before succumbing on the fifth day. Diagnosis was conducted through histopathological examination, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and bacterial culture. PCR results confirmed the presence of CPV with a 900 bp fragment, while bacteriological analysis identified Streptococcus sp. in lung tissue with hemolytic activity. Macroscopic analysis revealed hemorrhagic pneumonia, edematous myocarditis, and hemorrhagic enteritis, while histopathology showed inflammatory cell infiltration and tissue necrosis. Streptococcus infection worsened the dog's condition by causing severe lung inflammation, impairing respiratory function, and increasing the risk of death. The combination of CPV and secondary infection highlights the importance of vaccination in preventing CPV and the need for early detection through PCR and bacterial culture to improve prognosis and treatment effectiveness. This study emphasizes that rapid diagnosis and appropriate supportive therapy can help reduce disease severity and lower mortality rates in infected dogs.

Abstract

Toxocariasis is one of the common parasitic disease affecting cats, especially in environments with poor hygiene standards. Cats can become infected by ingesting infective eggs through food and water. This paper aims to report the successful diagnosis and treatment of toxocariasis in a cat. A three-year-old female domestic cat named Pusicat, weighing 1.95 kg, experienced diarrhea lasting more than two months, with feces appearing dark brown to black. Physical examination revealed diarrhea accompanied by reddened, swollen, and sensitive anal mucosa upon palpation. Additionally, during a temperature check, the cat defecated, and the feces contained traces of blood. Laboratory tests included fecal examination using the native method, which detected Toxocara sp. eggs, and routine hematology testing, which indicated leukocytosis with neutrophilia. Based on anamnesis, physical examination, and supporting diagnostic tests, the cat was diagnosed with toxocariasis. The prescribed treatment included the anthelmintic pyrantel pamoate at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight, administered orally once and repeated 14 days later; the probiotic Lacto-B (½ sachet); and kaolin-pectin at a dose of 2 ml/kg, administered orally every 12 hours. Additionally, the cat’s diet was changed to gastrointestinal wet food. A follow-up evaluation two weeks after treatment showed that the cat no longer had diarrhea, with feces of normal consistency. The anal mucosa appeared normal, pink in color, and no longer swollen. It is concluded that therapy using pyrantel pamoate, probiotics, and antibiotics, along with improved diet and sanitation, successfully accelerated the clinical recovery of the cat within two weeks. It is recommended to administer deworming medication regularly, maintain a clean environment, provide high-quality feed, and ensure access to boiled drinking water to prevent reinfection.

Abstract

Layer poultry farming plays a vital role in ensuring food security by providing a safe, affordable, and high-quality source of animal protein through egg production. However, the industry faces significant challenges, particularly bacterial infections such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp., which can impact both poultry productivity and human health. This study aims to detect the presence of Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp. infections in the digestive tracts of deceased layer hens at poultry farms in Jatiluwih Village, Penebel Subdistrict, Tabanan Regency. The research employed an observational method with a descriptive approach, using swab samples taken from the small intestines of chickens that had died within 1–3 hours. Of the 100 samples analyzed, 63% tested positive for Escherichia coli, 2% for Salmonella sp., while 35% were suspected of being infected by other bacteria. These findings indicate a high prevalence of E. coli infection, which poses a potential threat to food safety and increases the risk of zoonotic transmission. Early detection and effective bacterial control measures are therefore essential to maintain farm sustainability and ensure the safety of egg products.
