Abstract

Bali cattle are one of the primary commodities of Timor Island, Indonesia, and they contribute substantially to the community’s income. This is demonstrated by the substantial increase in the cattle population over the past three years, as well as the heightened demand for beef both within Timor Island and beyond NTT. This study aimed to analyze the marketing value chain of Bali cattle for each stakeholder within Kupang City and District and identify the specific function of each participant in this value chain. This research methodology is descriptive, specifically employing a case study approach that encompasses interviews with all participants involved in the marketing of Bali cattle, along with stakeholder analysis derived from the interview findings. The analysis revealed six key business actors contributing to the value-added process of cattle sales: suppliers, producers, collectors, traders, processors, and retailers. Additionally, five influential entities—government agencies, financial institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), institutions of higher education, and animal insurance providers—were identified as participants in this value chain. Influencers possess distinct duties and responsibilities that collectively enhance the Bali cattle value chain within Kupang City and the District. However, government authorities at both the national and local levels are one of the principal stakeholders exerting significant influence over the value chain. Based on the outcomes of the stakeholder/business actor analysis, the most important role in enhancing beef sales value was at the processing stage (44%), followed by suppliers (19%), retailers (17%) and producers (14%). Conclusion: Six business actors within the livestock sector each fulfil distinct duties and contribute value at every stage of the Bali cattle sales value chain, influencing fluctuations in the selling prices of Bali cattle and their products in Kupang City and District. Recommendation: Future research should integrate several critical and interrelated factors within a comprehensive value chain analysis, with a specific emphasis on constructing a value chain database for the Kupang city and district.

Abstract

The health and performance of commercial chicken are greatly influenced by poultry house environmental management. The application of open house system with poor management may act as a predisposing factor for multipathogen colonization in poultry. This condition can lead to multiple diseases due to concurrent infections involving fungal, bacterial, and protozoal agents. This study reports a case of multipathogen-related mortality in 29-day-old broiler chicken from an open house farm in Demulih Village, Bangli Regency, Bali. Diagnostic methods include anamnesis, physical examination, epidemiological data collection, gross pathology, histopathology, bacteriology, mycology, and parasitology. Gross pathological examination revealed yellowish-white nodules in the body cavity, lungs, and kidneys; surface damage of the liver and kidneys; and hemorrhage in the cecum. Histopathology showed septate hyphae and conidiophores in the lungs as well as schizonts in the cecum, indicating fungal and protozoal infection. Mycological examination using Sabouraud Dextrose Agar and subsequent macroscopic and microscopic identification confirmed the presence of Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Mucor spp. Bacteriological examination identified colonies of Staphylococcus sp., Acinetobacter sp., and Klebsiella sp. Parasitological analysis of fecal samples revealed Eimeria spp. oocysts at a concentration of 34,450 oocysts/gram, classified as moderate infection. The case was diagnosed as multiple disease conditions caused by concurrent multipathogen infections of fungal, bacterial, and protozoal origin. Improvements in housing management, sanitation, feed storage, strict biosecurity, and housing system considerations are required to minimize the introduction of disease-causing pathogens.

Abstract

Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) are a genetic resource native to Indonesia and play a crucial role in meeting national meat demand. Understanding hematological parameters, including platelet profiles, is essential for assessing the physiological condition and health of livestock. This study aimed to determine the platelet profile in healthy Bali cattle as a basis for establishing specific hematological reference values ​​for this local cattle breed. Blood samples were taken from 20 healthy Bali cattle using EDTA tubes, then hematological analysis was performed using a Licare CC 3200Vet Veterinary Hematology Analyzer. The results showed that the mean platelet count (PQ), platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet crit (PCT), platelet large cell count (P-LCC), and platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR) were equal or similar to the reference values. Meanwhile, the mean platelet volume (MPV) was significantly higher than the reference value. These data are expected to serve as a baseline for further research and as supporting information for the development and preservation of Bali cattle as Indonesia's superior germplasm.

Abstract

Deep dermal mycosis (DDM) is an infection caused by various groups of fungi that affects the cutaneous or subcutaneous tissues and is rarely reported in Indonesia. Dermatophytic pseudomycetoma is one form of DDM, with a known predisposition in Persian cats, characterized clinically by nodular swelling that may ulcerate and form draining sinuses. This study aimed to describe the clinical and cytological characteristics of DDM in Persian cats. The research was a descriptive study involving three Persian cats aged 3–5 years, which exhibited subcutaneous nodular and ulcerative skin lesions on the dorsal region and tail. Clinical examinations were performed by physical observation, and cytological evaluation was performed on smears from ulcerated nodules. The physical examination revealed multiple skin lesions; subcutaneous nodules were present in one cat, and ulcerative lesions were present in two cats. Cytological evaluation demonstrated a pyogranulomatous inflammatory response, including macrophages, neutrophils, and multinucleated giant cells, along with the presence of fungal hyphae indicative of infection. In conclusion, for Persian cats with subcutaneous nodules and ulcers, the combination of clinical and cytological findings provides an effective preliminary method for detecting dermatophytic pseudomycetoma.

Abstract

Dipylidium caninum is a tapeworm that inhabits the small intestine of dogs and cats, particularly in warm and humid regions. It has an indirect life cycle that requires fleas as intermediate hosts and vertebrates as definitive hosts. This parasite is considered zoonotic because it can be transmitted to humans through ingestion of infected fleas or dog ticks. Dogs are common companion animals that require proper care and management, both for their health and for the well-being of the humans who keep them. The case animal in this report is a female dog named Aci, 4 months old, weighing 4.2 kg, with orchid-brown hair. This study was conducted to identify D. caninum infection in this dog. Based on the anamnesis, physical examination, clinical assessment, and supporting diagnostic tests, the dog was diagnosed with D. caninum infection, with a favorable prognosis. Causal therapy was administered using a deworming medication (Caniverm®), at a dose of ½ tablet containing fenbendazole, pyrantel embonate, and praziquantel. Supportive therapy included vitamin B-complex (Livron B.plex tablets), and fish oil was provided to promote hair growth. Evaluation of the dog’s condition five days after therapy indicated significant improvement, as evidenced by fecal examination showing no presence of worms. Routine deworming is recommended every three months. Infected animals should be quarantined to prevent transmission to other pets, bathed regularly, and kept in a clean environment. Feces in the yard should be promptly removed to reduce the risk of reinfection.

Abstract

Brucellosis is an important zoonotic infectious disease caused by bacteria belonging to the Brucella genus. Probolinggo Regency in East Java Province is recognized as one of the regions with a large population of dairy cattle, particularly in Krucil Subdistrict, which holds the highest number of dairy cows in the regency. This study aimed to assess the health status of dairy cattle related to Brucellosis infection in Krucil Subdistrict, Probolinggo Regency. The research employed a random sampling approach involving 35 Friesian Holstein (FH) dairy cows originating from three villages: Tambelang, Bermi, and Krucil. Serological testing was carried out at the BBVet Wates Laboratory using the Rose Bengal Test (RBT) method to identify antibodies against Brucella abortus. The results of the study showed that the prevalence of brucellosis in Krucil District was 0%. The findings indicated that all collected samples (100%) tested seronegative for Brucellosis, demonstrating that the area under study remains free from this disease. Ongoing preventive programs, including vaccination, disease monitoring, and the implementation of strict biosecurity, are recommended to preserve the Brucellosis-free status.

Abstract

A nine-month-old local cat was diagnosed with chronic diarrhea accompanied by pancreatitis. This article aims to report a case of chronic diarrhea in a local cat associated with pancreatic dysfunction. The diagnosis was established based on anamnesis, clinical examination, and laboratory findings indicating impaired pancreatic function. The prognosis for this case was considered favorable. Management included administration of the probiotic Entero Secure BD® for 30 days (1 tablet/day), a low-fat diet using a specialized gastrointestinal feed, supplementation with Vitazym Plus® for seven days (½ tablet/day), and supportive therapy in the form of acupuncture performed once weekly for four weeks. After 30 days of treatment, the patient’s clinical condition showed significant improvement, as evidenced by more solid feces and reduced abdominal pain. This case demonstrates an association between pancreatitis and chronic diarrhea, which may mutually exacerbate gastrointestinal dysfunction. The owner was advised to conduct regular health check-ups to monitor gastrointestinal status and minimize the risk of recurrence or potential complications.

Abstract

Aural hematoma is a common auricular condition in small animals, particularly cats and dogs, often associated with trauma or otitis externa. Geriatric cases present added clinical complexity challenges due to concurrent systemic conditions and anesthetic risks. A 13-year-old sterilized male domestic cat with gray hair color, named Ali, was brought by its owner to the veterinary clinic (Urban Animal Pet Care Clinic, Bandung, Indonesia) with right auricular swelling and erythema and left auricular abscess rupture. Clinical evaluation revealed an aural hematoma of the right pinna and a ruptured abscess on the left. Hematological and biochemical analysis indicated leukocytosis, elevated BUN and creatinine, and hyperglobulinemia, suggesting chronic inflammation and mild renal impairment. Management included surgical correction of the aural hematoma using the button suture technique and debridement with drainage of the contralateral auricular abscess. Anesthetic dosing was adjusted considering the patient’s geriatric status; the standard Zoletil dose of 0.1 mg/kg BW IM was reduced to 0.05 mg/kg BW IM to minimize cardiovascular depression and other potential anesthetic complications. Perioperative fluid therapy was also carefully tailored to the patient’s systemic condition. Sutures and bandaging were removed on postoperative day 10 with satisfactory healing and no recurrence. Postoperative management carried out with ciprofloxacin as antimicrobial agent, dipyrone as analgesic and anti-inflammatory, and Channa striata extract aided recovery. The button suture technique represents an effective and minimally deforming surgical approach for aural hematoma in geriatric cats, especially when combined with tailored anesthetic management and postoperative management. This case emphasizes the importance of individualized treatment strategies in elderly feline patients with concurrent systemic conditions. It is important to install a collar from the beginning of the therapy process for the patient. This aims to help accelerate the healing process.

Abstract

Dogs are one of the most beloved pets kept by humans. Its relatively easy maintenance makes dogs so popular in all circles. Dogs have the potential to be a place for ectoparasites to live because they have soft and warm hair which is a favorable environment for ectoparasites. The purpose of this article is to find out how to diagnose, manage and treat cases of ectoparasite infestation in dogs. The case animal is a female dog weighing 5 kg in which the dog has skin problems with itching with a pruritus score of 7/10, an ulcer on the neck and alopecia on several parts of the body, on microscopic examination identified and found the presence of ectoparasites Heterodoxus sp. and Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The treatment used wormectin and diphenhydramine as causative treatment, and Chlorpheniramine maleate (CTM) and dexamethasone and amoxicillin as symptomatic. Two weeks of treatment showed good results, with the pruritus score decreasing to 3/10, and the ulcer caused by scratching closed completely, and the alopesia had grown hair although short. It is recommended that dogs be quarantined during treatment to prevent transmission, accompanied by bathing the dog twice a week and maintaining the cleanliness of the cage and environment to prevent the development of infectious agents.

Abstract

The Etawa crossbred goat is a hybrid breed developed by crossing Etawa males with local Kacang goats to enhance the productivity of the native goat population. This dual-purpose breed is esteemed for its milk and meat production. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics and reproductive performance of Etawa crossbred goats in Palangka Raya. A survey methodology was employed, with sampling locations selected based on the goats population density. Data collection comprised both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data were acquired through direct observations and interviews with the farm owners. Respondents were selected based on the following criteria: (1) a minimum of three years of goat farming experience and (2) ownership of at least five goats that had previously given birth. The findings from five Etawa crossbred goat farms in Palangka Raya City indicated that the reproductive performance of Etawa crossbred goats was generally favorable. The age at first mating was 16.8 ± 2.68 months, with a pregnancy rate of 70–80%. On four farms, all births were 100% singletons, whereas one farm recorded 50% twin births. The average litter size was 1.16 ± 0.03. The postpartum mating interval was 3 ± 1.22 months, and the kidding interval was 7.80 ± 2.68 months. Pre-weaning mortality ranged from 5% to 6% of kids born on each farm. These findings underscore the necessity for enhanced mating management, particularly comprehensive reproductive record-keeping, to support future selection and productivity improvements in Etawa crossbred goat herds.
