Abstract

Sex identification of Sun Conures (Aratinga solstitialis) is crucial for breeding and preservation, as well as increasing sun conure populations. These birds are sexually monomorphic. Therefore, Determination between male and female carried out by their morphology examination. The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method, utilizing molecular-based technology, was employed to determine the sex of Aratinga solstitialis in this study. The P2 and P8 primers were utilized in this method, which has been deemed suitable and accurate for sex identification through calamus samples. The research focused on two 28-month-old Aratinga solstitialis birds. Calamus samples were collected and subjected to PCR amplification using the extracted calamus. The resulting PCR products were then visualized using electrophoresis with a 1% agarose gel. In the electrophoresis photo, the presence of two bands indicated a female specimen, whereas a single band indicated a male specimen. The result of the gel electrophoresis research showed that both of the Aratinga solstitialis were male with one band of each bird on ranged from 300-400 base pairs. The result show that the Polymerase Chain Reaction method in terms for sex identification on monomorphic birds, especially Aratinga solstitialis birds is very effective to differentiate the sex of young birds and the adults.

Abstract

A retrospective case-control study was conducted in dogs with bone fractures presented at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital - Diliman Station, Companion Animal Clinic, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of the Philippines Los Baños from January 2016 to December 2021. One hundred sixty-one dogs were diagnosed with bone fractures. Limping was the most common chief complaint with falling from a height being the most common cause. Close, complete, and oblique fractures were the most prevalent fracture type. Around 29.81% of the cases were given medications only and 16.77% were treated with external coaptation.  Among the cases treated with external coaptation, only fourteen came back for follow-up with fully healed bone fractures. The mean age of dogs with bone fractures was 2.30 years old and was seen as a significant risk factor regardless of age group. Dogs fed with dry dog food and table food were 0.35 and 0.50 less likely to have bone fractures, respectively. The body weight, body condition scores, and dog breeds were not significant risk factors while the abode of the animal was a significant risk factor regardless whether the animal is indoor or outdoor. Age, diet, and abode were found to be significantly associated with bone fractures.

Abstract

A Vulnus morsum is a term used to describe a wound resulting from an animal bite. Specifically, wounds inflicted by cat bites are referred to as Vulnus morsum felis. A domestic cat named Sinto, approximately one-year-old with a body weight of 2.4 kg was examined with complaints of a torn wound on the right leg after fighting with another cat. The clinical examination results showed that case cat generally had a body condition score of 4/9 with an alert temperament and an attitude that always lowered its tail to protect the wound. Clinical examination also showed a Vulnus morsum on the hind right leg. A complete blood count showed that the cat had leukocytosis, granulocytosis, and thrombocytopenia. From the results of anamnesis, clinical examination, and supporting examinations, the case cat was diagnosed with Vulnus morsum felis with a fausta prognosis. Treatment was carried out by applying three principles of wound care; cleansing, debridement, and wound closure. In addition to surgical procedures, post-surgery antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs were given. The wound was treated and cleaned daily using an antiseptic to help the healing process. The wound found in the case cat were healed after surgical procedures and 12 days of treatment.

Abstract

Infectious diseases pose a significant threat to livestock health and productivity, particularly in developing countries. Fasciolosis, caused by infestation of Fasciola sp., is one such disease of concern. This case report focuses on the anatomic pathologic changes observed in the liver of Bali cattle infested with Fasciola gigantica. The cattle involved in this study were Bali cattle slaughtered at the Mambal Slaughterhouse in Badung, Bali, Indonesia between December 2021. During the specified period, 2 out of the 16 slaughtered cattles tested positive for Fasciola gigantica, representing an infection rate of 12.5%. The primary objective of composing this article is to disseminate information pertaining to the anatomical and pathological alterations observed in Bali cattle as a consequence of fasciolosis. Regarding the observation, the liver exhibited hepatomegaly, characterized by enlarged size and blunt edges, and adult flukes were found in the bile ducts. The surface of the liver parenchyma displayed proliferation of connective tissue, and there was evidence of enlarged portal lymph nodes. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the Bali cattle in this case report were afflicted with fasciolosis.

Abstract

Lameness is a common problem in Bali cattle. It is caused by various factors, both infectious and non-infectious. This study aims to evaluate the physiological changes in the levels of blood glucose and urinary ketone in lame Bali cattle. This study included 18 Bali cattle with locomotive disorders. Blood glucose levels were assessed from blood samples taken from the jugular vein, while urinary ketone levels were assessed from manually taken urine samples during urination of Bali cattle. The results showed that Bali cattle with locomotive disorders had significantly low blood glucose levels as well as mild to moderate ketonuria and thrombocytosis, which were associated with the increased energy requirements of lame cattle for maintaining postural balance. The results also suggested that the incidence of lameness in Bali cattle was relatively high.

Abstract

A 7-year-old male Persian cat was referred to IPB University Veterinary Teaching Hospital with clinical signs of lethargy, weight loss, and loss of appetite and was diagnosed with nephrolithiasis before being referred to IPB University Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Physical examination revealed tachycardia, tachypnoea, pale mucous membrane, 5–6% dehydration rate, cachexia, and palpated masses on the left and right side of the abdominal region. The abdominal cavity was seen as more radiopaque, which resulted in some organs being invisible in the radiographic view. Abdominal ultrasonography showed abnormalities in the liver, gall bladder, and kidneys. The patient was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) with the prognosis of infausta, as the patient was already in a sternal recumbency and could not stand by himself. During hospitalization, the patient was force-fed with a commercial renal diet, and the medical treatments given were intravenous ceftriaxone, vitamins, furosemide, Azodyl®, and intravenous infusion. The patient regained standing ability and survived until the seventh day of hospitalization. However, the owner persisted in bringing the patient home on the seventh day of hospitalization, and the patient died the next day after being brought home.

Abstract

Antibiotics are frequently used arbitrarily in livestock industry without regards for dosage or norms use. The administration of antibiotics to livestock can lead to a decline in their efficacy and contribute to the emergence of antibiotic resistance, hence posing challenges to the quality and safety of livestock products. Escherichia coli (E.coli) is recognized as a bacterial indicator pollution. This study aims to determine the resistance of E. coli to the antibiotic's penicillin G and tetracycline. The study used a survey method with cross-sectional study design in July, 2023 on farms located in West Lombok. Testing was carried out on 10 water samples taken from water sources on farms that showed 2 negative samples and 8 positive samples of E. coli on EMBA media, then continued with resistance tests using Penicillin G and Tetracycline antibiotics by measuring the inhibitory zone that formed. The results of this study showed that E.coli samples experienced resistance to Penicillin G as many as 8 samples and tetracycline as many as 6 samples. E.coli bacteria isolated from drinking water have experienced resistance to antibiotics Penicillin G by 100% and Tetracycline 75%.

Abstract

Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease that causes economic losses on chicken farms. A case was found on a farm in Rancaekek, Bandung Regency, where there was a one-year-old laying hen that stopped producing eggs, experienced decreased pectoral muscle mass, and had mild ataxia. The diagnosis was made by necropsy procedure and fecal examination. There were lesions in the small intestine, these lesions manifested as ballooning filled with orange mucus and the presence of petechial hemorrhages on the luminal wall and decreased pectoral muscle mass was found. A Fecal examination was performed using the floating method and the McMaster calculation. The results of the fecal examination revealed Eimeria sp. oocysts and Trichostongylus tenuis eggs. The diagnosis of this case is coccidiosis infection caused by two species of Eimeria sp., namely Eimeria maxima and Eimeria tenella. This infection has resulted in a nutritional deficiency, manifested by a decrease in pectoral muscle mass.

Abstract

Cryptosporidiosis is a waterborne zoonosis caused by Cryptosporidium, which is a parasite that causes infection of the small intestine and leads to acute diarrhea in both humans and animals. Wild rats (Rattus spp.) are known to carry many zoonotic pathogens including Cryptosporidium. Given their close proximity to humans in urban environments, the likelihood of disease transmission is high. This study aims to detect the Cryptosporidium spp. infection in wild rats in Surabaya City, East Java Province. Intestinal fecal samples were collected using necropsy. The flotation test and Ziehl-Neelsen stain were used to observe the presence of Cryptosporidium under the microscope. The results showed that 69 samples were positive for Cryptosporidium spp. in the oocyst stage, which appeared dark pink with a clear cavity and the size of the oocysts ranged from 2-6 μm. The high incidence of cryptosporidiosis in wild rats is a potential health threat to both animals and humans.
