Abstract

Streptococcosis is a disease caused by streptococcal bacterial infection and can cause outbreaks in pig farms. This case study aims to discuss the pathological anatomy, histopathology, and laboratory test results to obtain a definitive diagnosis of the disease that attacks 7-day-old pigs from Tua Village, Marga, Tabanan. Data collection in the form of clinical signs, anamnesis, epidemiology, and laboratory tests to be further analyzed descriptively qualitatively. Clinical signs of pig cases are thin, weak, nervous symptoms (tremors, loss of balance, lying sideways, and cycling or rowing movements), white diarrhea, fatigue, and swelling of the leg joints. Epidemiological data show a morbidity of 8.13%, mortality of 3.25%, and a case fatality rate of 40%. Pathological anatomy examination was carried out through a necropsy procedure and found congestion of the brain, heart, and intestines, hemorrhage in the lungs, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, the spleen changed color to dark and swollen and the liver was swollen and uneven in color. Histopathological examination began with the preparation of histological preparations using Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining, measurements were made by observing changes descriptively using a binocular light microscope with a magnification of 100x-1000x. The results of histopathological examination showed that the brain had meningoencephalitis hemorrhagica, lungs bronchopneumonia hemorrhagica, heart myocarditis, liver hepatitis, spleen splenitis hemorrhagica, kidney glomerulonephritis hemorrhagica et necrotican, stomach Gastritis hemorrhagica et necrotican, and intestine enteritis hemorrhagica et necrotican. Examination of histopathological preparations found inflammation dominated by neutrophil cells and macrophage cells. Bacteriological examination confirmed the presence of Streptococcus sp. bacterial infection in the brain, lungs, liver, and heart organs. Based on anamnesis, clinical signs, epidemiology, examination of anatomical and histopathological pathological changes, and bacteriological examination, it can be concluded that the pigs were infected with Streptococcosis due to Streptococcus suis bacteria. In pig farming management, optimal biosecurity and sanitation must be implemented to minimize the risk of contamination by disease agents.

Abstract

A 2-month-old male dog with suspected canine distemper virus (CDV) infection was necropsied on 27 February 2025. The dog exhibited clinical signs including anorexia, weakness, diarrhea, dyspnea, and ocular/nasal exudate. Gross and histopathological examinations were performed. Tissue samples from the brain, heart, trachea, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, intestines, and urinary bladder were collected during necropsy and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF). Histopathological sections were prepared and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Gross pathological findings included cerebral sulcal congestion, tracheal pallor, pulmonary necrosis, blunted cardiac apex, mild hepatic hemorrhage, splenomegaly, indistinct corticomedullary junction in the kidneys, urinary bladder hemorrhage, and intestinal hemorrhage. Microscopically, lesions included encephalitis, ulcerative necrotizing tracheitis, interstitial pneumonia, hemorrhagic myocarditis, hemorrhagic hepatitis, necrotizing glomerulonephritis, necrotizing cystitis, hemorrhagic and necrotizing enteritis, and splenic lymphoid depletion. Based on the case history, clinical signs, gross pathology, and histopathological findings, the dog was definitively diagnosed with canine distemper.

Abstract

Ongole crossbred (OC) cattle are an important genetic resource that requires preservation, and one method to support this is gamete cryopreservation. However, the cryopreservation process often results in reduced sperm viability. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding sodium selenite, vitamin C, and its combination as antioxidants in the semen extender on post-thaw sperm quality. Semen was collected from five OC bulls aged 7–9 years. The study consisted of several stages: preparation of the extender, semen collection and evaluation, dilution and freezing, thawing, and post-thaw quality assessment. Sperm motility and membrane integrity were measured as quality parameters. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) with SPSS software. The results showed that supplementation with 1 µg/mL sodium selenite significantly maintained sperm motility (46.00 ± 2.23%), recovery rate (63.05 ± 2.94%), and membrane integrity (62.20 ± 1.92%) compared to the control. The addition of 5 mM vitamin C also preserved sperm quality, with motility (41.00 ± 2.23%), recovery rate (56.18 ± 2.85%), and membrane integrity (56.10 ± 1.81%). However, the combination of 5 mM vitamin C and 1 µg/mL sodium selenite resulted in lower values for motility (35.00 ± 3.53%), recovery rate (48.00 ± 5.36%), and membrane integrity (48.00 ± 2.23%). In conclusion, sodium selenite was more effective than vitamin C in preserving sperm membrane integrity, while the combination of both antioxidants showed a negative effect. Further studies are recommended to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in each treatment and to determine the optimal antioxidant dosage.

Abstract

The Eid al-Adha celebration is a major annual event that offers substantial economic opportunities for seasonal livestock traders. Among the various types of sacrificial livestock offered, thin-tailed sheep (TTS) are commonly sold. This study aimed to evaluate the production performance of TTS marketed by seasonal traders. A total of 153 TTS aged 1-1.5 years (U1) and 1.5-2.5 years (U2) were sampled from three seasonal livestock trading locations in Sleman. All animals were confirmed to be healthy and free from physical defects. Data collection included both measurement and observations, focusing on production performance indicators such as body weight, body condition score (BCS), and linear body measurements (height at withers, chest circumference, body length, scrotal circumference), along with exterior characteristics (body colour, horns presence, and eye circumference). Quantitative data were analyzed using ANOVA in SPSS version 28, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively. The results indicated that TTS sold by seasonal traders met the basic requirement for sacrificial livestock in terms of age and condition. Significant differences (P<0.05) between U1 and U2 categories were found in body weight, height at withers, chest circumference, body length, and scrotal circumference. Most TTS sold were white, horned, and had well-developed eye circumference. Pricing was primary based on external appearance rather than measurable traits. Further studies are recommended to explore pricing strategies based on body weight and to encourage the use of standardized livestock grouping by weight and appearance. Providing official health certificates may also enhance buyer trust and selling price.

Abstract

Long bone fractures are common orthopedic problems in small animals, with tibial fractures being the third most frequent and diaphyseal fractures accounting for approximately 75% to 81% of all tibial fractures. This report describes the treatment of an oblique diaphyseal tibial fracture in a 2-year-old female domestic cat weighing 1.9 kg that had been lame for one week. Physical examination revealed pain and crepitation in the left hind limb, and radiographic evaluation confirmed an oblique fracture in the diaphysis of the left tibia. Treatment was performed using internal fixation with orthopedic wire, and postoperative care included intravenous administration of cefotaxime sodium (20 mg/kg BW) and meloxicam (0.2 mg/kg BW), followed by oral cefadroxil monohydrate (22 mg/kg BW/q12h for 7 days), meloxicam (0.1 mg/kg BW/q24h for 3 days), and calcium gluconate (10 mg/kg BW for 10 days starting on day 7). Two weeks after surgery, callus formation was observed at the fracture site, and the cat was able to walk normally without signs of lameness. Internal fixation using wire proved effective for treating oblique diaphyseal tibial fractures in domestic cats when combined with appropriate postoperative management, highlighting the importance of selecting the right fixation method and follow-up therapy to ensure optimal recovery.

Abstract

Vulnus laceratum is a lacerated wound characterized by minimal tissue loss, typically resulting from trauma. A 6-month-old dog weighing 6 kg presented with a relatively large laceration on its back. Clinically, the dog remained active with a normal appetite and drinking behavior. Based on physical examination, the dog was diagnosed with vulnus laceratum on the dorsal region and given a favorable prognosis. The wound was treated surgically, beginning with thorough irrigation using physiological saline (NaCl), followed by debridement to remove necrotic and damaged tissue, thereby facilitating the healing process. The wound was then closed with sutures. Postoperative therapy included oral administration of cefadroxil (antibiotic), intramuscular tolfedine (anti-inflammatory), and topical gentamicin to prevent secondary infection. By the fifth postoperative day, the wound showed significant improvement and had begun to dry. The dog exhibited signs of clinical recovery and resumed normal activity.

Abstract

Domestic cats (Felis catus) have become increasingly popular companion animals worldwide, yet remain vulnerable to helminth infections with zoonotic potential. This study aimed to identify gastrointestinal nematodes infecting pet cats in Makassar City, Indonesia. Seventy-nine fecal samples were collected from veterinary clinics across Makassar and analyzed using direct smear and flotation techniques. Results revealed a 7.5% (6/79) prevalence of nematode infections, comprising Toxocara sp. (5.1%, 4/79) and Ancylostoma sp. (2.5%, 2/79). Both species pose significant zoonotic risks to human health. These findings underscore the necessity of regular anthelmintic treatment and owner education programs to control parasitic infections in urban pet cats and mitigate public health hazards

Abstract

Mycoplasma gallisepticum, the primary causative agent of Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD), poses significant economic losses to the poultry industry through respiratory distress, decreased productivity, and elevated mortality in broilers. This study evaluated Mycoplasma gallisepticum antibody titters in broiler farms across Tabanan Regency, Bali, using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Fifty serum samples were collected from five clinically healthy broiler farms (no observed respiratory signs) and analyzed with the IDEXX MG/MS Antibody Test ELISA kit. All unvaccinated broilers exhibited low detectable antibody titters, classified as non-reactive (<843). These results contrast with prior reports of high M. gallisepticum prevalence in Bali based on pathological findings. Potential explanations for this discrepancy include variations in chicken age, farm management, biosecurity protocols, sampling timing, and diagnostic methodologies. Our findings provide updated epidemiological data on Mycoplasma gallisepticum in Tabanan and highlight the necessity of regular serological surveillance to guide disease prevention strategies.

Abstract

Subclinical mastitis in sows (Sus scrofa) poses significant risks to pig health and breeding efficiency, particularly in Gianyar Regency, Bali. Early detection using the California Mastitis Test (CMT), followed by microbiological confirmation, is critical for effective management. This study aimed to evaluate subclinical mastitis in lactating sows using CMT and identify causative pathogens through laboratory tests. Milk samples from 30 lactating sows were analyzed. CMT-positive samples were cultured on selective media: Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) for Staphylococcus aureus, Xylose Lysine Deoxycholate (XLD) for Salmonella, and Eosin Methylene Blue Agar (EMBA) for Escherichia coli. CMT detected subclinical mastitis in 21 sows (70%). Microbiological tests identified S. aureus (7 samples), Salmonella (2 samples), and E. coli (12 samples). CMT is an effective field tool for early mastitis detection. The high prevalence of pathogens, particularly E. coli, underscores the need for improved hygiene and targeted therapies in pig breeding environments.

Abstract

Hog Cholera or Classical Swine Fever is a viral disease that attacks all ages of pigs. This viral disease is caused by the Hog Cholera virus from the genus Pestivirus, family Flaviviridae. The virulence of the Hog Cholera virus depends on the age and level of immunity of the pig. The case animal used was a 3 months old landrace pig, originating from one of the farms in Buahan Village, Payangan subdistrict, Gianyar district, Bali. The clinical symptoms that appeared in the case animals were yellowish-gray diarrhea, high fever, anorexia, cough, weakness, and erythema on the skin of the stomach and ear areas. Confirmation of the diagnosis of Hog Cholera virus infection is made from the results of changes in anatomical pathology and histopathological results. Anatomical pathological changes occur in almost all organs, and the changes that occur include hemorrhage and even congestion. The results of histopathological examination showed that in most of the organs that experienced changes, inflammatory cells were visible, which were dominated by mononuclear (lymphoid) cells. Based on the anamnesis, clinical signs, epidemiological signs, anatomical and histopathological changes observed, as well as qualitative fecal examination, it can be concluded that the pig case is suspected of being infected with the hog cholera virus and strongyl worm.
