Abstract

Dermatitis is one of the most common skin problems in dogs and can be accompanied by various clinical manifestations such as pruritus, erythema, papules, scaling, hyperpigmentation, and alopecia. This condition is multifactorial and can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious factors. Ancylostoma spp. infestation in dogs is known to cause gastrointestinal disorders, particularly anemia due to chronic blood loss. However, this infestation can also be associated with dermatological manifestations such as dermatitis and alopecia, which are related to percutaneous larval migration and the systemic impact of the resulting anemia. This case report describes the diagnosis and treatment of dermatitis and Ancylostoma spp. infection in a 1-year-old mixed-breed female dog with symptoms of generalized alopecia, pruritus, erythema, hyperpigmentation, scaling, papules, and scooting, as well as a thin body condition. Diagnostic methods included clinical examination and skin, fecal, and complete blood count examinations. The results revealed the presence of Ancylostoma spp. eggs, skin examination revealed no detectable ectoparasites or dermatological pathogens, and the blood test results showed lymphocytosis, granulocytopenia, and mild thrombocytopenia. Treatment included a combination of pyrantel pamoate as an anthelmintic, chlorpheniramine maleate as an antihistamine, vitamin B-complex supplements, and topical candlenut oil to support skin regeneration and promote hair growth. Clinical evaluation over 14 days showed significant improvement, with the disappearance of pruritus, new hair growth, and a negative stool test for worm eggs. This combination therapy approach has proven effective and can be an alternative natural treatment that supports skin recovery in cases of dermatitis and Ancylostoma spp. infection.

Abstract

The health of beef cattle is a crucial aspect of livestock management. Effective health management in cattle serves to minimize potential economic losses caused by diseases that commonly affect beef cattle. These diseases may be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, as well as blood and gastrointestinal parasites. Multiple infections may occur, particularly when suboptimal animal conditions and environmental factors support disease transmission. This case report aims to describe the occurrence of multiple infections and to identify the causative infectious agents in a beef cattle farm located in Cibiru, West Java. The case involved a 4-year-old Limousin cow that exhibited clinical signs including nasal discharge, hypersalivation, diarrhea, and tick infestation. Samples collected for diagnostic examination included nasal discharge swabs, blood, and fecal samples. Nasal swab samples were cultured on blood agar plates (BAP) and MacConkey agar (MCA), followed by primary tests including Gram staining, catalase test, coagulase test, and biochemical tests. Blood samples were examined using blood smear evaluation and differential leukocyte counts. Fecal samples were examined using native smear, flotation, sedimentation, and McMaster techniques. The results revealed a case of multiple infections, with the identification of Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, as well as a gastrointestinal parasitic infection (coccidiosis). In addition, infestation with Rhipicephalus ticks contributed to blood parasitic infections, including babesiosis and anaplasmosis. These concurrent infections were associated with a compromised immune status and reduced production performance, potentially leading to economic losses for the farmer. Therefore, preventive and control measures, including proper sanitation and biosecurity, are essential, as infected animals and contaminated environments may act as sources of disease transmission.

Abstract

Domestic dogs are frequently encountered in poor physical condition, one of which is emaciation that is often accompanied by fungal and parasitic infections, thus requiring comprehensive clinical management. This case report aims to describe emaciation accompanied by Malasseziosis and Ehrlichiosis in a 4-month-old domestic dog. Physical examination revealed a body condition score of 3/9, dermatological lesions including alopecia, papules, crusts, and scales, accompanied by a strong odor and greasy hair, as well as the presence of the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Laboratory examinations included acetate tape preparation, which identified Malassezia spp., hematological analysis showing anemia and thrombocytopenia, and blood smear examination revealing Ehrlichia morulae within monocytes, which was further confirmed by a positive Ehrlichia canis antibody rapid test kit. Therapeutic management consisted of nutritional improvement through dietary modification, medicated bathing using a combination of Sodium Salicylate, Sulphur, Econazole Nitrate, and Chloroxylenol (Virbac Poison Sebazole®), administration of the antiparasitic Fluralaner (Bravecto® oral chewable tablet), Doxycycline antibiotic therapy, and supportive treatment with Livron B-plex. Evaluation on day 28 demonstrated significant weight gain, marked improvement in skin condition with resolution of alopecia, papules, crusts, and scales, reduction of malodor, normalization of hair texture, and improvement in blood smear and routine hematological findings. Based on clinical findings, laboratory results, and therapeutic response, the patient was diagnosed with emaciation accompanied by Malasseziosis and Ehrlichiosis and showed a favorable response to treatment, resulting in significant clinical improvement and stable condition after 28 days of monitoring. Dog owners are advised to ensure adequate nutrition, proper kennel sanitation, and environmental hygiene to prevent disease recurrence.

Abstract

An 8-month-old domestic male cat presented with chronic bloody diarrhea, accompanied by weight loss and a below-ideal body condition score (BCS) of 3/9. Fecal examination using native, sediment, and flotation methods confirmed infection with Ancylostoma spp., whereas hematological examination revealed leukocytosis with neutrophilia and monocytosis. Bacterial culture of the fecal sample yielded negative results. Treatment was administered with the anthelmintic drug Drontal Cat® (pyrantel pamoate and praziquantel), along with symptomatic therapy using kaolin–pectin, supportive therapy with B12, probiotics, and high-protein diet (Purina Pro Plan Kitten). Follow-up evaluation showed that by days 3 and 7, the patient no longer had diarrhea, and microscopic examination revealed no Ancylostoma spp. eggs in the stool. By week 4, the cat had gained weight to 3.2 kg and achieved an ideal BCS of 4/9. This case demonstrates that combination therapy can yield favorable outcomes and recovery, thereby improving the nutritional status and enhancing the quality of life of the cat.

Abstract

Animal welfare has emerged as a fundamental pillar in the transformation of modern sustainable livestock farming. This study analyses the position of animal welfare as a strategic investment for enhancing product quality and optimizing operational efficiency in animal production. Through a systematic literature review of recent scientific publications, this research reveals that the implementation of animal welfare principles significantly reduces the incidence of PSE and DFD meat, decreases dependence on antibiotics, and improves both product quality and market competitiveness. Furthermore, animal welfare certification demonstrates proven efficacy in creating product added value and facilitating access to global markets. The study concludes that the integration of animal welfare represents an essential strategy toward sustainable livestock production. Therefore, integrated policies supporting animal welfare implementation through incentive schemes and certification program reinforcement are recommended.

Abstract

Pig farms play an important role in the socio-cultural life of communities, but some of them are intensively managed with poor biosecurity and health management practices, as well as traditional and unhygienic husbandry practices, thereby potentially increasing the risk of health problems in livestock. Colisepticemia is a disease caused by infection with pathogenic Escherichia coli, which primarily affects piglets from the neonatal to post-weaning period. The subject of this case study was a one-month-old Landrace piglet from a smallholder farm in Taro Village, Tegallalang District, Gianyar Regency, Bali. This study aimed to determine the cause of death of the piglets based on epidemiological data, clinical examination, anatomical pathology, histopathology, bacteriology, and parasitology. Epidemiological data showed a total herd population of 455 pigs, with morbidity of 1.76%, mortality of 1.76%, and a case fatality rate (CFR) of 100%. Clinical signs observed in the piglet included anorexia, weakness, vomiting, yellowish-white diarrhea, and inability to stand. The piglet died after showing clinical signs for 16 days. Gross pathological examination revealed congestion in the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and intestines, as well as hemorrhage in the trachea, lungs, and intestines. Histopathological examination showed that almost all organs had congestion, hemorrhage, and inflammatory cell infiltration predominantly composed of neutrophils. Bacterial isolation from the lung, heart, liver, and intestines demonstrated growth of Gram-negative Escherichia coli. Parasitological examination using direct smear, sedimentation, and flotation methods yielded negative results for protozoan and helminth infections. Based on these findings, the piglet was diagnosed with colisepticemia.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal nematode infections in sows can cause physiological decline in pigs, fetal development problems, and reduced milk production. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode infections in sows during the gestation, lactation, and dry phases at a pig breeding farm in Gianyar District, Bali, Indonesia. This was a cross-sectional study using purposive sampling. A total of 204 fecal samples from sows in the gestation, lactation, and dry phases, collected from seven sub-districts in Gianyar Regency, were used in this study. Fecal samples were examined using sedimentation and flotation concentration methods with saturated salt to identify nematode eggs. Prevalence data were described descriptively, while the chi-square test was used to determine the relationship between the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode infections in pregnant, lactating, and dry sows. The study reported a nematode prevalence of 46.56%, consisting of Strongyl-type worms (43.62%), Ascaris suum (2.94%), Strongyloides ransomi (2.45%), and Trichuris suis (0.49%). No significant differences were observed in prevalence between the phases (p>0.05). Co-infections were also observed in sows in this study. The prevalence of nematode infections in sows remains relatively high; therefore, it is recommended to improve management practices, particularly on farms with wet housing conditions and irregular deworming schedules.

Abstract

Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) extract contains proanthocyanidins (PACs), anthocyanins, and flavonols, which act as antioxidants that protect kidney tissue through antioxidant activity and reduced oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokine production. Urolithiasis is a urinary tract disorder characterized by the formation of crystals, excess sediment, uroliths, or calculi, which can block urine flow, causing back pressure on the kidneys and leading to hydronephrosis. This case report discusses the management of a 4-year-old domestic male cat that exhibited clinical symptoms of urinary tract obstruction and straining. Clinical signs of urinary tract obstruction were observed for one week. The diagnosis was made based on history, clinical signs, hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis, and ultrasonography. Hematology examination results indicated lymphocytosis, granulocytopenia, and thrombocytopenia, while blood chemistry showed hypertotal proteinemia, hyperglobulinemia, and hypokalemia. Urine chemistry analysis showed positive leukocytes, protein, pH 7.5, specific gravity 1.010, and urine microscopy revealed struvite crystals and calcium oxalate. Ultrasonography revealed hyperechoic crystal particles in the lumen of the urinary bladder and dilated left renal pelvis. This case was diagnosed as urolithiasis and unilateral left hydronephrosis. Therapy included urinary catheter placement, 0.9% physiological NaCl flushing, 250 mg cranberry extract q24h PO, and special diet for kidney problems. Evaluation showed clinical improvement marked by the absence of stranguria and oliguria, although urinary crystals and dilated left renal pelvis were still detected on ultrasound examination. The owner was advised to monitor the urinary tract through urinalysis and ultrasound periodically, implement a special diet for kidneys and adequate water intake.

Abstract

Femoral fracture is damage or loss of continuity of femoral bone tissue with or without displacement of bone fragments. Femoral fractures are often caused by mechanical trauma. A 3-month-old crossbreed dog, weighing 4 kg and male, complained of swelling, unable to walk and the right leg could not support. Based on owner information, the case dog was hit by a vehicle two days earlier. The results of the radiographic examination, the dog had an oblique fracture of the right femoral diaphysis with a prognosis of fausta. Treatment was carried out by surgery using internal fixation of intramedullary pins using general anaesthesia, a combination of xylazine and ketamine. Postoperatively, the antibiotic cefotaxime was given at a dose of 20 mg/kg/q12h (IV), followed by cefadroxil syrup at a dose of 25 mg/kg/q12h analgesic meloxicam tablets at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg/q24h. One week after surgery, a radiographic examination was carried out, the results showed that the pin was pushed up. The second operation was performed to correct the installation of the first pin. After the second operation, the antibiotic amoxicillin syrup (R/Amoxsan) was given at a dose of 20 mg/kgq8h, analgesic mefenamic acid tablets at a dose of 30 mg/kg/q12h and calcium carbonate (R/Osteocal) at a dose of 66 mg/kg/q24h to accelerate the callus formation process. Thirteen days after the operation, the wound had dried well and the dog was able to set its legs and run although it was still limping. The results of the X-Ray radiography thirty-four days after the operation showed that callus had formed on the fracture fragment of the femur bone. It is recommended that surgery be performed immediately to avoid the formation of callus at the end of the fracture and after the installation of the intramedullary pin, periodic radiographic examinations are carried out to determine the position of the pin in the bone marrow.

Abstract

Co-infection of Aspergillus fumigatus with Staphylococcus sp and Eimeria spp that occur in poultry farming systems has the potential to increase the severity of the disease and cause significant economic losses. This case report aims to report the results of a diagnosis of coinfection of the disease in broiler chickens at one of the farms in Benoa, South Kuta District, Badung Regency, Bali. The farm has a capacity of 16,000 heads with a closed cage system. The examination was carried out based on epidemiological fingerprints, anamnesis, clinical examination, pathology, bacteriological tests, mycology and parasitology. Clinical symptoms observed include anorexia, weakness, curled up, drowsiness, and being smaller than peers of his age (dwarf). Interview data showed that as many as 0.78% of the chicken population showed symptoms of disease (morbidity), with a mortality rate of 0.075%. About 1.05% of infected chickens die (CFR). The results of an anatomical pathology examination found a multisystemic form of aspergillosis characterized by many yellowish-white granulomas of various sizes in various organs, including the lungs, heart, proventriculus, ventricles, kidneys, spleen, and small intestine. On histopathological examination, there are special granulomatous lesions in which there are septated hyphae. Mycological tests showed the presence of Aspergillus fumigatus infection. Bacteriological tests identified the presence of Staphylococcus sp., while parasitological tests detected the presence of Eimeria spp. with a value of 12,300 oocysts per gram. Based on a series of examinations carried out, the case chickens experienced aspergillosis, staphycococosis, and coccidiosis at the same time. Coinfection of the disease needs to be a concern because it can make it difficult to diagnose and control the disease.
