Abstract

Lead (Pb) is a heavy metal that induces the formation of free radicals and causes hepatocellular damage, making the liver one of the primary target organs of lead toxicity. Moringa oleifera leaves contain natural antioxidants with the potential to counteract oxidative stress induced by lead exposure. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Moringa oleifera leaf simplicia on liver histopathology in white rats (Rattus norvegicus) exposed to lead acetate. A total of 20 rats were randomly divided into four groups: P0 (negative control; standard feed and water), P1 (positive control; 0.5 mg/head/day of lead acetate for 3 days), P2 (0.5 mg/head/day of lead acetate plus 0.1 g/mL/day of Moringa oleifera leaf simplicia), and P3 (0.5 mg/head/day of lead acetate plus 0.6 g/mL/day of Moringa oleifera leaf simplicia). Treatments were administered for 14 days via intragastric gavage. On day 15, the rats were euthanized, and liver tissues were collected, processed histologically, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin. Histopathological lesions, including congestion, fatty degeneration, and necrosis, were scored on a scale from 0 to 3 based on severity. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant differences among groups for all lesions (P < 0.05). The Mann-Whitney test revealed significant differences in hepatic congestion between P0 and P1, P0 and P2, as well as between P3 and P1-P2, while no significant difference was observed between P0 and P3. For fatty degeneration and necrosis, P0 differed significantly from P1, P2, and P3. In conclusion, Moringa oleifera leaf simplicia at a dose of 0.6 g/mL/day reduced the severity of hepatic congestion caused by lead exposure; however, its effects on fatty degeneration and necrosis were not statistically significant.

Abstract

Psychogenic alopecia is hair loss caused by behavioral disorders that lead cats to groom excessively, resulting in skin lesions. Compulsive grooming causes alopecia, erythema, and secondary skin lesions. This case report discusses a Persian cat with complaints of alopecia, redness, and crusting without any infectious agents being found. Physical examination revealed self-induced alopecia, with pre-existing conditions within normal limits and a body condition score (BCS) of 5/9. Overall, the cat exhibited a docile temperament and normal activity levels. Complete blood count results were within normal ranges. The cat showed significant improvement after antihistamine therapy, a special diet for skin and hair, and grooming with hypoallergenic shampoo in a low-stress environment. However, relapse occurred after returning home to an environment with a high cat population. The cat recovered again after the owner provided more attention by regularly interacting and playing with it. Based on the history, examination findings, and therapeutic response, the diagnosis was established as suspected psychogenic alopecia with secondary dermatitis triggered by environmental stress.

Abstract

Antibiotic residues in animal products can pose health risks, including antimicrobial resistance, allergies, and toxicity. The use of antibiotics in inappropriate doses, either excessive or insufficient, can cause antibiotic residues in animal products, especially in the liver, milk, and meat. Broiler chicken livers have a higher risk of residue accumulation than other organs due to their role in drug metabolism. This study aims to determine the presence or absence of antibiotic residues in broiler chicken livers in relation to the level of knowledge and attitudes of farmers regarding the use of antibiotics administered during the broiler chicken rearing process in Tabanan Regency, Bali. This study is observational with a purposive sampling method that requires 20 broiler chicken liver samples, and data on farmers' knowledge and attitudes regarding antibiotic use is obtained directly through interviews from broiler chicken farms. Antibiotic residues in broiler chicken liver samples will be tested using a screening test based on the Kirby-Bauer method at the Denpasar Veterinary Public Health Laboratory. The research data was tabulated and analyzed descriptively, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The test results showed that all broiler chicken liver samples were negative for antibiotic residues. These results were supported by the farmers' high level of knowledge regarding the proper use of antibiotics, compliance with withdrawal periods, and the application of doses that were generally in accordance with recommendations. Although all farmers still reported using antibiotics during rearing, the pattern of administration was monitored and found to be controlled and not excessive. It is hoped that these good attitudes and practices can be maintained in order to ensure the safety of poultry-derived food.

Abstract

Indonesia, as a mega-biodiversity country, faces huge pressure on its ecosystems and wildlife due to deforestation, exploitation of natural resources, and low environmental literacy among the community, including in the buffer zones of national parks. Environmental education from an early age is an important strategy in building conservation awareness and pro-environmental behavior. This study aims to describe the implementation of environmental education in wildlife protection efforts in elementary schools located in the buffer zone of Tesso Nilo National Park, Riau Province. This study uses a descriptive approach with quantitative and qualitative methods. A total of 50 students aged 8–12 years were selected using purposive sampling to complete a conservation understanding questionnaire, while in-depth interviews were conducted with two teachers. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The results showed that the students' initial level of understanding of wildlife conservation was still relatively low, with an average score of 60.3 ± 15.1. Environmental education in schools has been integrated into the 2013 Curriculum, but it does not specifically include material on wildlife conservation and forest preservation, nor is it supported by ongoing external education programs. The results of the study show that students' initial level of understanding of wildlife conservation is still relatively low, with an average score of 60.3 ± 15.1. Environmental education in schools has been integrated into the 2013 Curriculum, but it does not specifically include material on wildlife conservation and forest preservation, nor is it supported by ongoing external education programs. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of environmental education in the buffer zone of Tesso Nilo National Park is still not optimal in building a comprehensive understanding of wildlife conservation. There is a need to strengthen conservation-based environmental education through curriculum integration, the development of contextual educational media, and the implementation of sustainable and participatory non-formal education programs.

Abstract

The trend of cat ownership in the community continues to increase along with the growing interest in companion animals; however, this condition is not free from various reproductive medical problems. One of the disorders frequently encountered is difficulty in parturition, or dystocia, which may lead to serious complications if not managed promptly and appropriately. Dystocia is a reproductive emergency in cats that can progress to uterine rupture if not treated adequately. This case report aims to describe the clinical findings, diagnostic approach, and surgical management of a cat with dystocia accompanied by uterine rupture. The method used was a case report based on anamnesis, physical examination, and abdominal palpation, with confirmation through intraoperative findings during exploratory laparotomy, considering the limitations of supporting diagnostic examinations. The examination results revealed abdominal enlargement, dehydration, and the presence of free fetuses within the abdominal cavity due to rupture of the uterine wall. Management was performed through total ovariohysterectomy accompanied by abdominal lavage and postoperative therapy. It is concluded that a combination of careful clinical diagnosis and immediate surgical intervention is an effective approach in managing cases of dystocia complicated by uterine rupture in cats.

Abstract

Berkshire pigs are a popular choice for small and large scale pig farming enterprises worldwide, including in Bali. Berkshire pigs are well known for their superior meat quality and relatively fast growth rate. This study aimed to determine the effect of storage duration on the quality of Berkshire boar spermatozoa diluted with Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS®) supplemented with melatonin. Semen from Berkshire boars was diluted using BTS® supplemented with melatonin at a concentration of 1.0 mM and stored at a temperature of 15 –20°C. Semen quality was evaluated at different storage intervals: (P1) 48 hours, (P2) 60 hours, and (P3) 72 hours. The observed semen quality parameters included sperm motility, sperm abnormalities, sperm viability, and plasma membrane integrity of spermatozoa, which were examined using smear preparations observed under a microscope. In addition, sperm malondialdehyde (MDA) levels as an indicator of oxidative stress were measured using the Porcine MDA ELISA Kit. Duncan’s multiple range test analysis showed that the storage duration of Berkshire boar semen diluted with BTS® supplemented with melatonin was able to maintain sperm motility, abnormality, viability, plasma membrane integrity, and malondialdehyde levels up to 72 hours of storage, with sperm motility of 40.66%, sperm viability of 53.00%, and sperm abnormalities of 6.33%. These values met the minimum standards set by the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 8034:2023) for liquid boar semen. These results indicate that melatonin acts as an antioxidant capable of neutralizing free radicals, thereby inhibiting the occurrence of oxidative stress in spermatozoa cells.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a multifactorial disease associated with inflammatory and pruritic allergic conditions, with a genetic predisposition and immunoglobulin E (IgE) production against environmental allergens. To address this disease, the use of coconut oil as a herbal medicine may serve as an alternative therapy. This study aimed to evaluate changes in macroscopic skin lesions in dogs with atopic dermatitis following coconut oil administration. The study used five Balinese local breed dogs with atopic dermatitis aged three months. The dogs received coconut oil massage treatment once every three days for 33 days. The research procedure involved observing the progression of primary and secondary lesion healing, hair growth around the lesion area, and microscopic examination of the hair growth phase. The data were analyzed using nonparametric tests, followed by the Friedman test, Wilcoxon test, and regression analysis. The results of the Friedman, Wilcoxon, and regression tests showed significant healing after coconut oil application, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in macroscopic observations. Overall, improvements in macroscopic lesions were observed in all sample dogs, characterized by reduced pruritus, erythema, macules, papules, pustules, crusts, scabs, scaling, hyperpigmentation, and lichenification, as well as hair regrowth in areas affected by alopecia. In conclusion, coconut oil application is effective in improving the healing of macroscopic lesions in dogs with atopic dermatitis.

Abstract

Feline Coronavirus (FCoV) can mutate into Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), which has high morbidity and mortality rates in cats worldwide and is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. The highest incidence of FCoV infection occurs in Europe (47.6%), including Germany (100%). Research on the prevalence of FCoV in Indonesia has not been widely reported. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of FCoV infection at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic. Primary data were obtained from rapid combo test results (GIA, FCoV, FPV) confirmed positive for FCoV infection by veterinarians, and secondary data was obtained from the cats' medical records. The prevalence of FCoV during the period of August–September 2025 at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic, based on breed category, was 69% in non-domestic breeds (χ² = 0.044; P<0.05). Based on sex, the prevalence was 69% in male cats (χ² = 0.025; P<0.05). Kittens showed a prevalence of 59% (χ² = 0.002; P<0.05). Based on living environment, indoor, semi-indoor, and outdoor cats showed a prevalence of 50%, while households owning more than one cat showed a prevalence of 78%. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of FCoV infection at Vetopet 1 Animal Clinic falls within the moderate category.
