DETERMINATION OF THE BEST ROSELLA (Hibiscus sabdarifa L.) FILTRATE CONCENTRATION IN EGG YOLK CITRATE DILUENT
Full text linkThe aim of this research was to determine if the substitution of rosella filtrate (Hibiscus sabdarifa L.) in citrate-based diluent and egg yolks with the ratio 4:1 (16 mL citrate + 4 mL yolk) would help maintain the progressive motility of Kacang goat spermatozoa at room temperature. This study used a male Kacang goat with an average sperm quality of approximately 205 x 107 spermatozoa/mL and motility of 81.6%. An electro-ejaculator was used once a week to collect the semen. The treatments were labelled as follows: P0 was the negative control group, treatment P1 was given 5% rosella filtrate, treatment P2 was given 10% rosella filtrate, and treatment P3 was given 15% rosella filtrate. Examination of the motility of the spermatozoa was carried out at room temperature. The examination was carried out once every four hours. It was concluded that the rosella filtrate could maintain the progressive motility of spermatozoa of the Kacang goat at optimal concentrations. The optimal motility percentage was found at a concentration of 15% at a storage life of 0-4 hours
THE EFFECTS OF AGE ON BIOCHEMISTRY PROFILES OF ACEH CATTLE BLOOD
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of age on the biochemistry profiles of aceh cattle, which included examinations of: total protein (TP), albumin, globulin, albumin/globulin ratio (A/G), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), creatine kinase (CK), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and magnesium (Mg) . Sixteen clinically healthy aceh cattle aged 2-4 years old, and 16 aceh cattle aged 4-6 years old were purposively selected for the study. Blood samples were drawn from the jugular vein and subjected to blood biochemistry measurements using commercial kits. The results showed that serum concentrations of TP, globulin, AST and Ca of aceh cattle were significantly (P0.05) higher in age group 4-6 years old, while ALP activity was significantly (P0.05) higher in age group 2-4 years old. In conclusion, age must be considered as a factor when interpreting the blood biochemistry profiles of aceh cattle
SEASONAL VARIATIONS ON SEMEN CHARACTERISTICS OF FATTAILED AND GARUT RAMS UNDER TROPICAL CONDITIONS
Full text linkThis study investigated the influences of rainy and dry seasons on semen characteristics of fat-tailed and Garut rams under tropical conditions. A total of 4 healthy rams (2 fat-tailed rams and 2 Garut rams) aged 3 to 4 years old were used in this study. The semen was collected from each ram during November 2016 to February 2017 (rainy season) and May to August 2017 (dry season). The measurement of semen characteristics including semen volume (SV), sperm concentration (SpC), total sperm (TSp), individual sperm motility (ISM), post-thawing sperm motility (PTSM), and frozen semen production (FSP). The rainy season resulted higher SV (P= 0.021), TSp (P= 0.005), ISM (P= 0.028), and FSP (P= 0.005) than the dry season. On the other hand, fat-tailed rams had higher (P0.001) SV, TSp, and FSP compared to Garut rams. There was no interaction (P0.05) between season and breed on all semen characteristic parameters found in the present study. It can be concluded that the semen collection during the rainy season had a beneficial impact to produce high-quality semen for artificial insemination program than in the dry season. Fat-tailed rams have better semen characteristics compared to Garut rams
THE EFFECTS OF EXERCISE MODELS ON HEMATOLOGICAL PROFILE AND MEET PHYSICAL QUALITY IN GARUT SHEEP
Full text linkThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of exercise levels on the hematological and metabolical status, and carcass quality of Garut sheep. In total 24 of Garut sheep used in this study. The levels of exercise contain three treatments namely non exercise, semi exercise and exercise. Blood collection through the jugular vein of sheep samples was carried out at the end of the study, using a 5 mL EDTA tube to measure the haematological condition of the animal sample. Likewise, collecting muscle samples to determine the physical quality of meat.The data was analyzed by analysis of variance and continued by Duncan test for a post hoc test. The results showed that the models of exercise were not significantly (P0.05) affected to hematological level and also carccas quality including juiceness, tenderness, drip loss and water holding capacity. Organoleptic sensory using semiexercise was more favourable meat compare to exercise and non exercise. While for the colour of meat, non exercise treatment was significantly (P0.05) affected to the colour of meat compare to exercise and semi exercise. Furthermore the semi exercise was the best treatment to produce fresh taste meat with good sensory characteristic
MULTIDRUG RESISTANCE OF Klebsiella pneumoniae IN CATS IN BOGOR, INDONESIA
Full text linkThis study aims to measure the level of antibiotic resistance to Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from clinical cats in Bogor. Samples were isolated and identified macroscopically, microscopically, and biochemically. Positive isolates were tested for antibiotic sensitivity using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The results showed that Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from sputum and laryngeal swabs of clinic cats in Bogor had experienced Multidrug Resistance (MDR). The highest level of resistance to Klebsiella pneumoniae occurred in the -lactam group (amphicillin 76%) followed by the tetracycline group (oxytetracycline 72% and tetracycline 68%), then the quinolone group (enrofloxacin 52%), and finally the aminoglycoside group (gentamicin 44%). The results of this study are expected to be taken into consideration in the use of antibiotics for the treatment of cases related to the Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria
CAUSES AND REMEDIES FOR NON-INFECTIOUS INFERTILITY IN SHEEP AND GOATS
Full text linkNon-infectious infertility is particularly critical for sire rams/bucks, as seasonal breeders. This seasonal heavy use of males may lead to sexual exhaustion such that the regular semen production, libido, ejaculation, and litter yield can be seriously impaired. In severe cases, the reproductive processes may stop completely. For avoiding infertility risk, management and feeding should firstly be arranged with a flock-based approach. In reproductive management, the issues of using teaser ram/buck, male/female ratio, weekly mating number, exercise, and experience need attention. Also, inbreeding and using old breeders should be avoided. In oestrus synchronisation, necessary precautions against extremely hot/arid climatic conditions should be considered together with a sufficient number of rams/bucks used rotationally. For sustainable sheep/goat breeding, protective-preventive measures are preferred to problem-solving approaches. In enterprises where female breeder welfare is a priority, sustainable individual yield increases. Further, only the comfort level of males used heavily in season allows the expected libido and fertility to occur. In small ruminants, the necessary interest and responsibility in production provide convenience in the ideal solution with the opportunity of early interventions against undesirable fertility problems in breeders. Undoubtedly, it is vital to consider sustainable animal health and welfare for profitable breeding and husbandry in sheep/goats
THE PRODUCTION OF FREEZE-DRIED EGG YOLK POWDER AND ITS EFFECT ON THE QUALITY OF GARUT RAM LIQUID SEMEN
Full text linkThis research aims to evaluate the protective potency of freeze-dried egg yolk powder on Garut ram sperm during the liquid semen preservation process. Semen with good sperm quality was divided into three groups and diluted using the following Tris diluents: fresh egg yolk-Tris (FEY-Tris), commercial egg yolk powder-Tris (CEY-Tris), and freeze-dried egg yolk powder-Tris (DEY-Tris). Semen that had been diluted was observed every 12 hours until sperm progressive motility was 50%. Sperm quality was tested for progressive motility percentages, viability, intact plasma membrane (IPM), and intact acrosome (IA). Fresh egg yolk had a particle size of 14460.00330.76 nm, with polydispersity index value (PI) and zeta potential (ZP) being 1.000.11 and -9.220.30 mV, respectively. The particle size of commercial egg yolk powder was 877.90168.86 nm with PI value 0.340.04 and ZP-28.71.24 mV. The particle size of freeze-dried egg yolk powder was 1296.0086.73 nm, with PI value 0.700.04 and ZP-34.50.64 mV. Progressive motility percentage showed that DEY-Tris diluent managed to survive to 51.116.06% for 168 hours, compared to FEY-Tris (51.256.74%) which survived for 156 hours, although no longer than CEY-Tris diluent (53.476.33%) which survive for 180 hours (P0.05). Higher sperm motility was also supported by viability percentage, IPM, and IA, which were all higher (P0.05). In conclusion, freeze dried egg yolk powder mixed with Tris buffer was able to maintain sperm quality during the liquid semen preservation process
THE POTENTIAL OF TOMATO EXTRACT (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) IN INCREASING THE SERTOLI CELLS AND SPERMATOGENIC CELLS COUNT OF THE CONTRALATERAL TESTICULAR SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES OF RATS (Rattus norvegicus) THAT HAVE TESTICULAR TORSION
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to analyze the potential of tomato extract (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) in increasing the Sertoli and spermatogenic cells count of the contralateral testis in white rats (Rattus novergicus) with unilateral torsion. A total of 24 male Wistar white rats, aged 3-4 months old with a weight of 180-200 g were used in this study. The rat samples were randomly divided into 4 treatment groups: Group 1 as a negative control (NC) which consisted of rats without testicular torsion and given tomato extract; Group 2 as a positive control (PC) which consisted of rats with unilateral testicular torsion 720 for 6 hours without given tomato extract; Group 3 as treatment 1 (T1) consisted of rats that were subjected to unilateral testicular torsion 720o for 6 hours and were given tomato extract at a dose of 100 mg/kg BW/day; and Group 4 as treatment 2 (T2) consisted of rats that were subjected to unilateral testicular torsion 720 for 6 hours and were given tomato extract at a dose of 200 mg/kg BW/day. Each group consisted of six rats. Tomato extract was administered orally for 30 days. The observations of the number of Sertoli cells and spermatogenic cells (spermatogonia cells, spermatocytes, and spermatids) were carried out histologically with Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining and the slides were examined with a light microscope. The data obtained was analyzed by ANOVA and continued with Duncan's test. The results showed that the administration of tomato extract significantly increased (P0.05) the number of Sertoli cells and spermatogenic cells of the contralateral testicular seminiferous tubule. Giving tomato extract 100 mg/kg BW/day resulted in an increase in the number of Sertoli cells and better spermatogenic cells than tomato extract 200 mg/kg BW/day. In conclusion the administration of tomato extract after detorsion can increase the number of Sertoli cells and spermatogenic cells of the contralateral testicular seminiferous tubules in white rats subjected to unilateral torsion of 720 for 6 hour
