Background and Aim: Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) pose a major health challenge for cattle in Indonesia. GIP infections affect the production and reproductive performance of cattle, resulting in economic losses. However, the prevalence and distribution of infections have not been comprehensively profiled at the national level. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of GIP infections in cattle in Indonesia. Materials and Methods: Overall, 667 articles were identified from six databases in English and Bahasa Indonesia. After removing duplicates and screening titles and abstracts based on the inclusion criteria (i.e., GIP prevalence in cattle in Indonesia), 67 articles were included in the data review. Data were pooled using a random-effects model in STATA software. Heterogeneity was tested using Cochran’s Q-value and I2 statistics, whereas publication bias was assessed using Egger’s regression test. Results: The overall pooled prevalence of GIP in Indonesia was 46% (95% confidence interval 37%–55%), with a total population of 17,278 cattle screened. The I2 value was 99.59%, Cochran’s Q-value was 15,957.25, and p = 0.001. The results of the regional meta-analysis based on the provinces in the three zones of Indonesia showed estimated prevalence rates of 54.0%, 52.7%, and 53.7% in Western, Central, and Eastern Indonesia, respectively. The parasite with the highest prevalence was Eimeria spp. (37.7%), followed by nematodes (34.4%) and trematodes (Fasciola spp., 21.4%). Conclusion: The findings reveal a high prevalence of GIPs in cattle across Indonesia, with significant variability across regions and parasite types. Eimeria spp., nematodes, and trematodes represent the most prevalent infections and underscore the urgent need for region-specific control strategies, including improved livestock management practices, routine screening, and integrated parasitic control programs.

Background and Aim: Seeds from Carica pubescens were observed to be abundant as waste. This waste contains active plant compounds whose utilization has not been studied in the livestock sector. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of an aqueous seed extract of Carica pubescens (ASE) as an anthelmintic agent during rumen fermentation and methane reduction. Materials and Methods: Aqueous seed extract of Carica pubescens was prepared from C. pubescens cultivated in Wonosobo, Indonesia. Phytochemical analyses were performed to quantify the secondary metabolite content of ASE. In vitro adult worm mortality tests, scanning electron microscopy, and gas production tests were conducted to evaluate rumen characteristics, methane reduction, and the potential of ASE as an anthelmintic against Haemonchus contortus. Adult worms and ruminal fluid were collected from Indonesian thin-tailed sheep. Two-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s test was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences® 21.0 software to detect significant differences. Results: In vitro study results showed that 1–5% ASE inhibited H. contortus after the 1st h of incubation, and 5% ASE suppressed 100% of adult H. contortus worms in the 5th h. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of ASE-treated worms ASE revealed damaged cuticle structures. ASE had no significant effect on pH, NH3, volatile fatty acid, acetate, propionate, butyrate, acetate: propionate, or microbial protein in rumen fluid (p > 0.05). The in vitro feed fermentation results showed that ASE significantly affected methane reduction. Conclusion: The inclusion of up to 5% ASE in sheep diets may serve as a potential alternative anthelmintic against H. contortus as well as a methane reduction agent, without deleterious effects on rumen fermentation.

This study aimed to determine the influence of body condition score (BCS) on the metabolic and reproductive status of adult female Kacang goats (Capra hircus). Twenty-three local doe goats aged 3–6 years, which were not pregnant and had BCS ranging from 1–3 on a scale of 1–5, were studied. Blood samples were collected before slaughtering for biochemical analyses. After the goats were killed, the ovaries were collected for follicle and corpus luteum (CL) examination. Ovarian follicular fluid was aspirated for biochemical analyses. Most blood biochemistry parameters of the goats with BCS 1–3 did not show significant differences (P>0.05). The ovaries with BCS 1 were acyclic; whereas the ovaries with BCSs 2 and 3 were cyclic. The ovarian follicular fluid concentrations of glucose, Ca, and Mg in the goats with BCS 1 were significantly lower than those of the goats with BCSs 2 and 3. The levels of TP, ALB, and cholesterol in the ovarian follicular fluid were significantly correlated with the blood results (P

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of global concern, and is caused by pathogenic serovar Leptospira interrogans. Canine Leptospirososis is widespread worldwide, dogs can act as incidental hosts or maintenance hosts for various serovars. The purpose of this research was to identify leptospire serovars that infect healthy and suspected leptospirosis dogs in Yogyakarta. A total of 56 dogs (36 healthy dogs and 20 suspect leptospirosis dogs) sera were taken from cephalica vein as much as 3 ml. Sera were examined for leptospirosis with Microscopic Aglutination Test (MAT) which conducted at the Research Center for Veterinary Science, Bogor. Microscopic Aglutination Test carried out on various Leptospire serovar, namely: Ichterohaemorrhagiae, Javanica, Celledoni, Ballum, Pyogenes, Cynopeteri, Rachmati, Australis, Pomona, Canicola, Grippotyphosa, Bataviae, Hardjo, and Tarrasovi. The results showed that Celledoni serovars infected 25% of healthy dogs and 5% of suspect leptospirosis dogs, Javanica serovar infected 19% of healthy dogs, Bataviae serovars infected 15% of suspect leptospirosis dogs, Grippotyphosa serovar infected 11% of healthy dogs, Tarrasovi serovar infected 10% of suspect leptospirosis dogs, serovars Cynopteri infects 5% of healthy dogs and 5% of suspect leptospirosis dogs, serovar Pyrogenes infects 5% of healthy dogs and 5% of suspect leptospirosis dogs, and serovar Rachmati infects 5% of suspect leptospirosis dogs. Seven healthy dogs (19%) and 2 suspect leptospirosis dogs (10%) were infected with more than 2 leptospire serovars. From the results of this study it can be concluded that Celledoni serovar of Leptospira interrogans infection causes subclinical leptospirosis, while Bataviae serovar infection causes clinical leptospirosis in dogs in Yogyakarta.

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) worms in Wonosobo and thin-tailed sheep from the slope of Mount Sumbing. Materials and Methods: Fecal samples (n=305) were collected directly from the rectum of Wonosobo and thin-tailed sheep during the dry and rainy seasons in Wonosobo Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The presence of GI helminth eggs in the fecal samples was assessed using the modified McMaster egg counting technique. The identification of the eggs or oocysts was done on the basis of their morphology and size. Results: The highest prevalence of GI worms was observed in male thin-tailed sheep (76.47%) during the rainy season, whereas the lowest prevalence was observed in female Wonosobo sheep (47.36%) during the dry season. The types of GI nematodes observed in these two types of sheep were Haemonchus contortus, Ostertagia spp., Trichostrongylus spp., Bunostomum spp., Trichuris spp., and Moniezia spp. The GI worms with the highest prevalence were of Haemonchus spp. and were observed in male thin-tailed sheep. The prevalences of the two types of sheep assessed at an altitude of 1150 m above sea level were higher than those observed at the altitude of 1586 m. The prevalence of clinical and sub-clinical parasites infestation in Wonosobo and thin-tailed sheep in Kwadungan village was significantly different (p

Abstract Herbal preparations have started being used to support poultry health. The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the effect of meniran and turmeric extracts as well as the combination of both on the blood profile (hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocytes, leukocytes, and plasma protein) of chickens. This study used 80 layer chickens (DOC), which were randomly divided into 4 groups (A, B, C, and D, each group contain 20 chickens). Group A was the control, group B was treated with turmeric extract (100 mg/kg BW), group C was treated with meniran extract (100 mg/kg BW), and group D was treat with a combination of meniran and turmeric extracts (each dose 100 mg/kg BW). Treatment was given for 30 days. Blood samples were collected on the end period for examination. Statistical analysis of the data were done through the one-way ANOVA method. The results showed that the blood profiles (hematocrit, hemoglobin, erythrocytes, leukocytes, and total plasma protein) with turmeric and meniran extract treatments were still within normal range and not significantly different from the control group (P> 0.05). Based on this research, it can be concluded that the treatment of extract turmeric and meniran or a mixture of both at a dose of 100 mg/kg body weight for 30 days does not affect the blood profile.

This study were aimed to determine the dry matter and organic matter intake, nutrients digestibility, body weight gain and physiological status of male Bligon goats treated with feed restriction. Six Bligon goats average age of 12 months and an average body weight of 23.6 kg were fed 40% of peanut raughages (rendeng) and 60% concentrate. Goats were divided into two (2) treatment groups. Control goat treatment were fed diets based on dry matter (DM) requirements 3.5% of body weight, and feed restriction goat treatment were fed diets with 50% reduction of DM requirement. Feed restriction was conducted for 35 days. The variables measured were dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) intake, total digestibility nutrient (TDN) intake, body weigh gain, dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) digestibility, rectal temperature, respiration frequency, and heart rate. Data were analyzed by independent samples T-test. The results showed that the feed restriction significantly decreased consumption of DM (676.07 ± 14.76 into 372.30 ± 53.08) and OM (639.38 ± 15.89 into 349.88 ± 49.35), consumption of TDN (461.60 ± 10.23 into 253.99 ± 36.17), DM digestibility (74.39 ± 1.60 into 71.27 ± 0.89) and OM digestibility (79.42 ± 1.54 into 76.34 ± 0.24), but had no significant effect on body temperature, respiration frequency and heart rate (pulsus) of male Bligon goat. Value of ADG was 55.24 g/day (P0) then increased to 131.43 g/day when the feed was filled back. A feed restriction up to 50% decreased goat production performance, but did not interfere with the health status of livestock (can be indicated from physiological status of goat still in the normal range).

The objective of this research was to evaluate metabolism of inorganic phosphat (Pi) and calcium (Ca) in kacang goats subjected to 60-d feed restriction and 60-d full feeding (refeeding). Nine adult male goats were divided into three groups used in this study. Restrictions include 40% (group I), 50% (group II), and 60% (group III) of the ration of dry fodder. To obtain the baseline all animals from all groups were fullfeeding from the start of the study (day 0) to day 60 then followed by restriction stage on day 61 to day 120. The next stage is refeeding from day 121 to 180. Pi and Ca levels were analyzed on days 60, 120, and 180, respectively. The results showed that restriction followed by refeeding decreased Ca levels in all three groups and Pi of animals in groups II and III was below the baseline. The level of Pi reach above the baseline were seen only in animals in group I following restriction and refeeding, although there was a tendency to decrease after refeeding. Based on the results of the study it is concluded that the restriction followed by refeeding decreases the level of Pi and Ca in adult male kacang goats. ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji metabolisme fosfat inorganik (Pi) dan kalsium (Ca) selama 60 hari restriksi (pembatasan) pakan yang diikuti dengan 60 hari pemberian pakan kembali secara fullfeeding (refeeding) pada kambing kacang jantan dewasa. Sembilan ekor kambing kacang jantan dewasa terbagi menjadi tiga kelompok digunakan dalam penelitian ini.

Over the recent years, villagers in the countryside havefaced the problem of limited resources for livestock and crop productions. Decreased land quality and agricultural land areawith respect to the increased need for housing landhas resulted in economic and environmental problems for livestock farmers in this area. Most livestock farmers have poor standard of education, limited ownership of land and livestock, and are not capable of managing the natural resources in sustainable ways. The present services for small livestock farmersare aimed to transform the unintegrated livestock and agricultural farming into a sustainable integrated system in the marginal community. Some efforts were conducted to improve knowledge and skills in zero waste system in livestock and agricultural farming by livestock farmers in marginal areas. The present community development programs were conducted using farmer-centered learning methods (participative learning) and mentoring by professionals on the implementation of sustainable integrated farming system (learning by practice). Furthermore, institutional development and cooperative networking with related parties were carried out. Results showed that the livestock farmerswere able to adopt integrated farming practices and the community was capable of independently producing organic fertilizer from livestock wastes and converting agricultural byproducts into animal feed. Both farmers and villagers have come together to cultivate fruit and vegetable plantations in vacant lands and back yards which were previously unused. The farmers’ group has successfully networked with the related partners to ensure sustainability of environmental conservation efforts and improvement of livelihood. In conclusion, active participation of farmersin the marginal area throughout the development process and mentored-practice are key factors for successful agricultural transformation in the marginal community. Implementation of the sustainable integrated farming system will ensure food security, environmental protection and safety, conservation of natural resources, and better quality of life.

The study was aimed to investigate the effects of restricted feeding for four weeks on some bloodchemistry and seminal parameters in kacang goats. Six adult clinically healthy male kacang goats wereused in this study. Each animal was kept in individual box for 12 weeks. Animal was fed with aerial partof peanut plant and concentrate with ratio of 60:40. The experiment was devided into two feeding periods,fullfeeding and restricted feeding. After four weeks adaptation (week 1-4), each animal was fullfed formaintenance plus medium activity (a quantity of dry matter at the level of 3% of body weight) for fourweeks (week 5-8) and then was fed only 50% of the fullfeeding nutritional level for the following four weeks restricted feeding period (week 9-12). During the experiment, drinking water was supplied ad libitum.Each animal was ejaculated at weekly intervals by means of standard artificial vagina for small ruminant.Blood and semen samples were collected at the end of the ad libitum and restricted feeding period for bloodchemistry and seminal parameters analyses. Statistical differences were determined by paired t-test. A0.05 probability level was used as criterion to describe statistically significant differences. Restrictedfeeding at the dry matter intake level of 1.5% body weight for four weeks did not result in significantchanging of serum glucose and total protein concentrations as well as seminal parameters. The level ofblood chemistry and seminal parameters during the feed restriction period were within the values reportedfor clinically healthy goats. It is concluded that feeding with a restricted quantity of dry matter at the levelof 1.5% of body weight for four weeks is not detrimental to health and reproduction in male kacang goats.

Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by the intracellular obligate parasite of Toxoplasma gondii. Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) causes severe infections in infants or children who are congenitally infected and immunocompromised individuals. Rats are one source of natural transmission of toxoplasmosis in cats and cats will release oosysts with feces that will contaminate the environment that can be a source of transmission for other animals and humans. This study aims to determine the histopathological features of hepatic, pulmo, lien and cerebellum organ and serological tests in mice infected with T. gondii. Twenty rats of Wistar strains infected T. gondii strain RH stadium takizoit (107). On days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 15 post infection, mice were drawn blood for serological tests using commercial kit PastorexTM Toxo (Biorad, France). After the blood is taken, the rats are dietanized for liver organ samples, pulmo, lien and brain for histopathologic examination. The results showed that serologic test was positive after the 5th postoperative day. The histopathologic results of day 1 postinfection appear to be takizoit T. gondii in the liver and brain. The formation of takizoit in the pulmo appears on the 7th day post infection.

The study aim of this was to evaluate the effects of food restriction on metabolic aspects (bloodchemistry parameters) in Ettawa crossbred goats. Four adult male and clinically healthy Ettawa crossbredgoats were used in this study. The animals were kept in individual cage for 12 weeks. Animal feed consistedof aerial part of peanut plant and concentrate at a ratio of 60:40. The experiment was devided into 2phases of feeding periods, fullfeeding (ad libitum feeding and restricted feeding. After the adaptationperiod for 4 weeks (week 1-4), the animals were fed ad libitum for 4 weeks (week 5-8), and then continuedwith 50% of the ad libitum feed intake during the following 4 weeks restricted feeding period (week 9-12).During the experiment, drinking water was supplied ad libitum. Body weight were examined and bloodsamples were collected at the end of the fullfeeding and restricted feeding periods for blood chemistryanalyses. Statistical differences were determined by paired t-Test at probability level of 0.05. This studyshowed that feed restriction up to about 50% of ad libitum (80% of maintenance) feed intake resulted inchanges of blood chemistry parameters. At the end of restricted feeding period, the elevated concentrationof serum inorganic phosphate, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and cholesterine were observed and reducedconcentration of glucose, calcium, and triglyceride were observed. However no change was observed on levelof arterial blood pH and the concentration of serum natrium, potassium, chloride, and protein. In conclusion,nutritional status has significant effect on blood chemistry parameters of Ettawa crossbred goats. Seruminorganic phosphate, calcium, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, cholesterine, glucose, and triglycerideconcentration could provide the more reliable information for assessment of the nutritional status ofEttawa crossbred goat.

At the end ofbalance study, blood samples were taken from canthus retroorbitalis medialis for estrogen analysis. Theresults showed urinary and fecal Ca excretions were not significantly different compared to the controlgroup. Calcium consumption was significantly higher (P

A study was carried out to determine the serum estradiol and progesterone concentration, vulvaappearance, and vaginal cytology during estrous cycle in bligon goat. Four female non pregnant bligongoats (Indonesian indigenous) were used in this research. They were clinically healthy and showed normalestrous cycle. Estrous state was examined by using biological method. When the animals showed acceptanceto be mounted by a buck, they were confirmed as the first day of estrous cycle (estrous phase). Collectionof blood sample, preparation of vaginal smears, and measurement of some physical genital parameterswere conducted by standard veterinary clinical methods at day 11, day between 3-5, day between 6-16, andday between 17-19 of estrous cycle. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determineserum progesterone and estradiol concentrations. Mean difference of each parameter was analyzed byanalyses of variance (Anova), followed by Tuckey HSD. The serum estradiol concentration ranged between211.25-247.77 pg/ml. Peak of the estradiol was occurred at the first day of estrous phase, namely 247.77pg/ml and to decrease at day 3-16. The serum progesterone concentration was at the level of 0.21-0.70 ng/ml and showed a significant increase at day 6-16 (p60%) during estrous cycle. In conclusion, serum estradiol, progesterone, the vulvaappearance combined with sexual receptivity could be a good estrous predictor for female cycling bligongoat.

A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of oxytetracycline on the basis of itspharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters in the plasma and tissues of broiler following a50 mg/kg single dose of intravenous administration. The male broiler were injected with oxytetracycline attarsal medial venous. The blood, liver, kidney and abdominal muscle were collected at 14 points of timesamplings. Blood was centrifuged to obtain plasma and all tissues were extracted with Mc Ilvine buffer.Drug concentration in samples was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)using AOAC standard reference for tetracycline. The pharmacokinetic parameters of oxytetracycline werecalculated using non compartment method. The results were as follows. For plasma: the AUC was 790,615,5 ?g/mL minute , Clearance was 63,242 mL/min/kg bb, Tmax/Cmax was 1 minute/0,7 ?g/mL, T1/2elimination was 6,4, hours, Vd was 37 L/kg. For liver ; AUC was 36418,89, minute , Tmax/Cmax was 16hours/17,15 ?g/g, and T1/2 elimination was 24,5, hours. For kidney; AUC6808,41 ?g/g minute , Tmax/Cmax 1 minute/16,73 ?g/g, , T1/2 elimination was 11,55 hours. For muscle; AUC was 3502 ?g/g minute,Tmax/Cmax was 1 minute/2,58 ?g/g, T1/2 elimination was 167,39 hours. The ratio of AUC/MIC inplasma and tissues appeared to a good pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameter to determine theeffectiveness of oxytetracycline.

The objective of the research was to study the effect of panhisterectomy and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3supplement consumption for 1.5 months on Ca retention of Wistar rats fed with casein. Twenty female ofWistar rats, 8 weeks of age were randomly divided into four groups (normal group N and NK,panhisterectomized group H and HK) in wich group consisted of 5 rats. Group N and H rats were fed witha standard diet, while group NK and HK rats were fed with a standard diet+1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3supplement. At 19 weeks of age, they were placed into individual metabolic cages for balance studies.From day 7 to 11 of the balance studies, daily unconsumed food, urine, and feces were collected andrecorded for Ca analyses. The research results showed that Ca comsumption and fecal Ca excretion weresignificantly higher (P
