Nilai Ekonomi Karkas dan Non-Karkas Sapi Bali Betina Afkir pada Berbagai Kelompok Umur

2025-12-04T13:17:05+00:00

This study aimed to analyze the economic value of cull female Bali cattle at different ages in Kupang Regency. A total of 40 cows were grouped into young (2-4 years), medium (4–7 years), and old (7–10 years). Economic parameters measured included live animal value, carcass value, non-carcass value, and added value using the Hayami method. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s test. The results showed that age significantly affected the proportion of non-carcass components (P<0.05), but not slaughter weight and carcass
percentage. However, the economic value of live animals, carcass, non-carcass, and slaughtering added value increased with age. Older cows generated higher economic returns, although carcass efficiency was relatively constant across age groups. It can be concluded that culling age influences economic value, and the carcass-based selling system (carcass weight) provides more accurate and profitable returns than live weight transactions.

The Pengaruh Pemberian Ivermectin Terhadap Perubahan Sel Darah Putih Pada Kambing Kacang Yang Dipelihara Secara Intensif

2025-12-04T13:28:32+00:00

This study aims to determine the effect of Ivermectin on the differential picture of white blood cells of pea goats before and after endoparasite treatment in a semi-intensive rearing system. The study used 11 pea goats placed in individual pens with a platform and fed with KGP 709 concentrate. Ivermectin was given at a dose of 2.5 ml/head. Tools used included a microscope, EDTA tube, syringe, centrifuge, glass slide and cover, and dropper pipette. Parameters observed were white blood cell profile and gastrointestinal parasite infection based on faecal examination. Data were analysed using One Way ANOVA and presented descriptively. Faecal examination results showed gastrointestinal parasite infection with dominant species Haemonchus contortus (5, TPG 1-33), Trichuris spp. (3, maximum TPG 11), Strongyloides spp. (4, maximum TPG 61), Eimeria spp. (6, mild to severe infection), and Cystotoma spp. (5). Ivermectin administration significantly affected the percentage of neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils (p0.05), indicating that Ivermectin did not affect all white blood cell types equally. In conclusion, this study showed that pea goats were infected with gastrointestinal parasites with a predominance of Haemonchus contortus, Trichuris spp., Strongyloides spp., Eimeria spp. and Cystotoma spp. Ivermectin administration was shown to affect neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils, reflecting the immune
response to parasitic infection.

Trypanosoma evansi (T. evansi) merupakan penyebab utama trypanosomiasis pada hewan ternak. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menggambarkan variasi virulensi, morfometri, dan karakter genetik empat isolat T. evansi yang berasal dari sapi dan kerbau di Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat. Seluruh isolat diperbanyak pada mencit untuk mengamati periode prepatent, perkembangan parasitemia, ciri morfologi, serta hubungan genetiknya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya tiga pola virulensi. Isolat dengan virulensi sedang berasal dari sapi dan kerbau menyebabkan kematian mencit pada hari ke-14 pascainfeksi. Dua isolat lain dari sapi menunjukkan virulensi rendah (kematian pada hari ke-24) dan virulensi tinggi (hari ke-4). Perbedaan ukuran tubuh juga terlihat jelas, masing-masing 22,05 µm pada isolat virulensi rendah, 24,1 µm pada virulensi sedang, dan 24,6 µm pada virulensi tinggi. Analisis sekuensing menunjukkan bahwa isolat dengan virulensi rendah dan sedang berada dalam kelompok yang sama, sedangkan isolat virulensi tinggi berkelompok dengan isolat dari Thailand dan Tiongkok. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa isolat T. evansi di lapangan memiliki keragaman biologis dan genetik yang cukup lebar, sehingga pemantauan terhadap penyebarannya tetap diperlukan, termasuk pada isolat yang tampak kurang virulen.

Analisis Aktivitas Nitrifikasi dari Bakteri yang diisolasi dari Rumah Burung Walet Menggunakan Metode Spektrofotometri

2025-12-05T08:38:43+00:00

Nitrifying bacteria are essential in the nitrogen cycle, turning ammonia into nitrite and nitrate, which greatly contributes to the contamination of edible bird's nests in swiftlet houses. This study aims to evaluate the nitrifying activity of bacteria isolated from swiftlet housing environments in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. A total of 16 environmental pooling samples were obtained from four different environmental sources within the swiftlet houses: faeces (n=4), pond water (n=4), edible bird’s nests (n=4), and soil (n=4). The nitrifying activity of each isolate was examined by measuring nitrite production using a spectrophotometric method and ammonium consumption using a commercial ammonium test kit. The main criteria investigated were the ability of the bacteria to oxidize ammonia to nitrite and their ability to result in ammonium reduction. The findings indicated that all 16 isolates were able to generate nitrite within a range of 4.8 to 24.7 ppm and showed considerable ammonium consumption. Among the sources, the bacteria from soil exhibited higher nitrifying activity compared to those from soil, pond water and bird’s nests. The findings indicate that the swiftlet house environment harbors diverse and active nitrifying bacteria. Furthermore, spectrophotometry method can be used as an initial detection for nitrifying bacteria.

2025-12-06T01:39:02+00:00

The use of fresh semen in artificial insemination quickly leads to a decline in quality if an appropriate extender is not added. A suitable extender functions to protect spermatozoa during processing and storage, thereby prolonging their viability. Additionally, incorporating fruit juices rich in antioxidants can help neutralize free radicals and minimize cellular damage. Semen wascollected froma 2–4-year-old male pig using a dummy. High-quality semen was then divided into two control groups (K0 and K1) and five treatment groups consisting of varying volumes of cherry tomato juice: 20µL, 40µL, 60µL, 80µL, and100µL, all mixed coconut water extender and stored at preservation temperature. Sperm motility was evaluated every two hours for a total of 16 hours. The findings indicated that the coconut water extender combined with cherry tomato juice antioxidants significantly influenced (p<0.05) the motility percentageof Landrace boar spermatozoa. The addition of 60µL cherry tomato juice (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) produced the best results in maintaining sperm quality, with a motility value of 67.00±0.79% and a viability duration of up to 16 hours.

2025-12-06T02:02:57+00:00

Infection by the parasitic worm Anisakis sp. can cause anisakiasis in humans and is an important food safety concern, particularly in mackerel tuna (Euthynnus affinis). This study aimed to identify the morphology of Anisakis sp. larvae in mackerel tuna obtained from the Fish Auction Center (TPI) in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Examination was conducted on internal organs (liver, intestine, and gonads), and the larvae found were observed using SEM. The results revealed the presence of Anisakis sp. larvae characterized by typical morphological features, including a boring tooth and papillae in the anterior part, as well as a mucron in the posterior part. These findings confirm Anisakis sp. infection in mackerel tuna and provide detailed morphological data useful for species identification and zoonosis prevention through marine fish quality monitoring.

Perbandingan Teknik Ovariektomi dan Ovariohisterektomi pada Anjing Lokal Indonesia

2025-12-06T02:20:58+00:00

Gonadectomy is a common procedure to control dog populations and prevent reproductive diseases. Ovariectomy (OVE) and ovariohysterectomy (OH) are the primary techniques, although their relative efficiency remains under debate. This study compared both methods based on hematological parameters, surgical duration, blood loss, wound healing, progesterone levels, body weight, and postoperative behavior in female dogs. This experiment were using 14 female domestic dogs were divided into OVE and OH groups. Surgeries were performed under general anesthesia, and outcomes were analyzed statistically. Postoperatively, hematocrit and erythrocyte counts significantly decreased in OH group (p<0.05), while white blood cell counts were higher than in OVE (p<0.05), indicating stronger inflammatory response. OVE had a shorter surgical time (56.18 ± 7.10 min vs. 84.41 ± 24.28 min), lower blood loss (4.91 ± 2.60 g vs. 46.02 ± 39.06 g), and faster wound healing (4.57 ± 0.76 days vs. 5.91 ± 1.24 days) (p<0.05). There was no significant differencs in progesterone level one month post surgery between the OVE and OH groups (0.67 ± 0.30 ng/mL and 0.48 ± 0.29 ng/mL, respectively). Likewise, no significant difference were observed in body weight gain, as well as in grooming, sleeping, drinking, exploration and play behaviours between the groups after nine weeks of observation. In conclusion, both techniques effectively reduce plasma progesterone concentration and support body weight gain, but OVE offers greater surgical efficiency, faster recovery, and fewer hematological alterations, highlighting its potential as the optimal technique for sterilizing.

Epidemiologi dan Dampak Ekonomi Wabah African Swine Fever di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur

2025-12-08T01:10:17+00:00

This study evaluated the epidemiology and economic impact of African Swine Fever (ASF) at the household farmer (HF) level in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, Indonesia. The economic and epidemiological data were obtained from interview with 97 farmers across seven districts. The prevalence of ASF at farmer level was calculated based on the number of HF experienced ASF outbreak in certain year divided by total HF interviewed. The total economic losses due to ASF outbreak were calculated based on the economic value of pig, cleaning and disinfection of stalls, stall depreciation, leftover feed, and reduced value of pigs. Approximately 90% of the respondents reported pig mortalities associated with ASF during the initial outbreaks in 2020-2021. The total economic losses due to ASF outbreak were estimated to be IDR 1,4 billion, averaging IDR 14,5 (percentile 5^th;95th: 5,1;27,8) million per household farmer per year, with losses dominated by pig mortality (92%). Losses varied by districts, with the highest in East Sumba (17,9 million per HF) and the lowest in Rote Ndao (11,5 million per HF). These findings demonstrate that ASF outbreak is financially loss for smallholder pig farmers and can significantly reduced their income. Optimizing biosecurity implementation at household farm level could be financially beneficial for smallholder pig farmers and can significantly mitigate ASF-related economic losses in NTT.

2025-12-12T03:32:58+00:00

One of the obstacles often faced in broiler farming is the decline in performance and disease attacks. Efforts that need to be made to improve health and prevent disease attacks are by increasing non-specific immune responses through the provision of feed additives such as prebiotics. Prebiotics are non-digestible compounds and function as a food source for good microorganisms in the digestive tract. One such source is natural honey which contains oligosaccharides so that it acts as a prebiotic. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the provision of drinking water containing natural honey oligosaccharides to improve the performance and health of broiler. The research was conducted experementally using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of four treatments and the replications. The research treatments included: P0:control, P1:0.5% natural honey oligosaccharides (v/w), P2:1% natural honey oligosaccharides (v/w), and P3:1.5% natural honey oligosaccharides (v/w). The research variables include: ration consumption, body weight gain, final body weight, ration conversion, ration efficiency, drinking water consumption, mortality, feces shape and feces color. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results indicated that ration consumption, body weight gain, final body weight and ration efficiency, drinking water consumption, and health increased in the treatment containing natural honey oligosaccharides and decreased in the ration conversion and mortality of broiler relative to the control. The study concluded that the provision of drinking water containing honey oligosaccharides as prebiotic of 0.5 to 1.5% improved both the performance and health status of broiler.
