THE GASTROPROTECTIVE EFFECT OF Bidens pilosa L. ETHANOL EXTRACT ON ALCOHOL-INDUCED GASTRIC ULCERS IN RATS: A HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY
Full text linkThe primary objective of this research was to assess the gastroprotective properties of Bidens pilosa L. leaf ethanol extract by analyzing gastric histopathology in an alcohol-induced ulcer model in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus). The research was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design involving five groups. The rats in K- group received 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), while the rats in the K+ group were given 30% alcohol. Groups P1, P2, and P3 received 30% alcohol combined with ethanol extract of Bidens pilosa at doses of 250, 500, and 750 mg/kg BW, respectively. Alcohol was administered orally at a dosage of 10 mL/kg BW for 43 consecutive days. The observed parameters included histopathological features of the gastric tissue, specifically mucosal erosion, inflammatory cell infiltration, and necrosis. The results demonstrated that the extract significantly reduced alcohol induced gastric tissue damage, as indicated by lower erosion scores and inflammatory cell infiltration (P 0.05). Necrosis was not observed in any group, including in the K+ group. In conclusion, Bidens pilosa extract possesses potential gastroprotective properties, likely mediated by anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective mechanisms
THE INCREASE IN BODY WEIGHT, SMALL INTESTINE LENGTH, AND FEED CONVERSION RATIO (FCR) OF BROILER CHICKENS GIVEN HEAT STRESS AND BANANA BLOSSOM PEEL EXTRACT (Musa paradisiaca)
Full text linkThis study aims to determine the increased of body weight, small intestine length, and food conversion ratio (FCR) of broiler chickens given heat stress and banana blossom peel extract (Musa paradisiaca). This study was an experimental study using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of five treatments. The experimental animals used in this study were female broiler chickens of the Cobb strain, 2 weeks old and weighing between 350-400 g, totaling 25 chickens. Chickens in P0 were not exposed to heat stress and banana blossom peel extract, while the chicken in P1, P2, P3, and P4 were exposed to heat stress and administered with 0.0, 500, 1000, 1500 mg/L banana blossom peel extract, respectively. The temperature in the heated cage accumulated slowly starting at 10:00 WIB and was maintained stable at 331 C for five hours. Banana blossom peel extract was given by dissolving it in drinking water for two hours (at 10:00) before the temperature in the cage reached 331 C. The data obtained were processed using the Kruskal-Wallis and continued with the Mann-Whitney Test. The results showed that there was a significant difference between treatments P1 and P4 on body weight gain and small intestine length (P0.05). Meanwhile, for the FCR value, only the P4 group met the standard, which was 1.57. Giving banana blossom peel extract at a dose of 1500 mg/L has been able to increase body weight, small intestine length, and decrease the FCR value in broiler chickens experiencing heat stress with a temperatu re of 331 C for 5 hours with a duration of 20 days

No full textThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of laser acupuncture on the hematological profile, total blood cholesterol, and total blood protein in rabbits, with potential applications for livestock. The blood profiles of laser acupuncture-treated rabbits were compared to those of rabbits of the same or different types. Twenty-four New Zealand White rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, with six rabbits in each group. Group One (control/placebo), Group Two (laser acupuncture at specific acupuncture points BL21, BL15, and BL13), and Group Three (laser acupuncture not precisely at acupuncture points). Treatments were administered six times over six weeks. The data presented is the average of the respective data in groups one, two, and three. Results showed that rabbits' hematological profiles, total blood cholesterol, and total blood protein were consistent with existing standards, with no significant deviations observed, indicating that laser acupuncture did not adversely affect rabbit health. These findings suggest that laser acupuncture does not adversely affect rabbit health and could be a safe technique for enhancing animal welfare, with potential applications in livestock management

Full text linkThis study aimed to determine the correlation between ERVM scores and the levels of estrogen and progesterone in Aceh cows during estrus.This study utilized 8 clinically healthy Aceh cows aged 3-5 years. ERVM scores were determined using a DraminskiTMestrus detector probe insertedinto the vagina on the first day of estrus. Estrogen and progesterone concentrations were measured in blood samples collected on the first day of estrususing the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Data on the correlation between ERVM scores and the levels of estrogen andprogesterone concentrations were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test. The results showed that the average ERVM score during the estrusphase was 192.9216.94 , and the average concentrations of estrogen and progesterone were 103.1344.86 pg/mL and 0.960.60 ng/mL,respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that coefficient correlation (r) values between EVRM and estrogen was -0.607 and with progesterone was-0.149. In conclusion, the ERVM score in Aceh cattle indicates moderate estrus, and the ERVM score obtained in this study is negatively correlatedwith estrogen and progesterone concentrations
EFFECT OF PARITY ON THE PERFORMANCES OF BRAHMAN CROSS COWS AND THEIR CALVES KEPT UNDER INTEGRATED CATTLE AND OIL PALM PRODUCTION
Full text linkThe integrated cattle and oil palm production is currently recognized as one of the potential strategies to fulfill national meat demand in Indonesia. This study investigated the effect of parity on the performances of Brahman cross cows and their calves kept under integrated cattle and oil palm production. The cows receive natural mating with the provision of Brahman cross bulls (bull:cow ratios of 1:20). Data of body weight and body condition score of 300 cows were recorded after parturition. Data of body weight and weaning weight of their 600 calves (300 calves of each of parity 1 and 2) were also included in this study. Data were compared between parity 1 and 2 by using paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results demonstrated that the cows in parity 2 had higher (P0.001) body weight and body condition score than those in parity 1. Parity 2 also increased (P0.001) birth and weaning weight of calves as compared to parity 1. It could be concluded that parity has a significant contribution to the performance of Brahman cross cows and their calves, with parity 2 provides better performance than parity 1
