The conservation status of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in the wild is categorized as an endangered species with the status Vulnerable. One effort to maintain the sustainability of sambar deer is to conduct ex-situ conservation outside its natural habitat. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the management of the implementation of captivity on Jl. Bromo, Bukit Hindu, Jekan Raya, Palangka Raya. Things that need to be evaluated include management aspects of housing, feeding, health care and reproduction as well as the welfare level of Sambar deer in captivity. The requirements for the level of animal welfare are freedom from hunger and thirst, freedom from environmental discomfort, freedom from pain, injury and disease, freedom from fear and stress, and freedom to behave naturally. This study used survey, observation, measurement, interview and literature study methods. The results of the study showed that the level of deer captivity management, in terms of cage management, feed management, and health management, showed a poor category. The animal health biosecurity program has also not been implemented. Only in terms of reproductive management, it is in the good category, because during the 16-year period (2008 to 2024) there was a significant increase in the number of Sambar deer by 45 or an average of 3 per year with a death rate of 2 (4.4%). The birth ratio was 46% male and 54% female. Meanwhile, from the level of animal welfare, it shows that the achievement of the implementation of the welfare of sambar deer in captivity in Palangka Raya City based on the assessment of the five criteria of freedom in animal welfare is in the sufficient category with an average achievement value of 69.5%.</p> Asri Pudjirahaju, Heri Sujoko, Siti Ma’rifah Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/438 Mon, 02 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 TOTAL ESCHERICHIA COLI IN BROILER FECES AT VARIOUS AGES IN BADUNG REGENCY https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/439 <p>Broiler chickens are quality meat-producing chickens and are known to the public with various advantages, feces are a food process accompanied by urine and undigested food residues.

This article aims to report the management of chronic bronchopneumonia in a 21-month-old male local cat weighing 4.6 kg who had clinical signs of a cold for two months. Clinical signs included mucopurulent nasal discharge and stridor. Initial physical examination showed normal activity, but dry rales were found on lung auscultation. Supportive examinations performed included hematology, cytology of nasal swabs, radiography, and bacterial culture. Hematology revealed lymphocytosis and decreased granulocytes, while swab cytology showed neutrophils. Radiographs indicated bronchial thickening as well as radiopaque patches in the lungs, leading to the diagnosis of chronic bronchopneumonia. Bacterial culture showed infection by <em>Bacillus</em> sp. and <em>Staphylococcus</em> sp. Treatment included antibiotic doxycycline at 10 mg/kg BW for three weeks and anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone at 0.43 mg/kg BW for seven days. Evaluation was carried out for three weeks, showing significant improvement in clinical conditions, including the disappearance of mucopurulent discharge and stridor, as well as normalization of auscultation and radiographic results. At the end of therapy, hematological examination results also showed lymphocyte and granulocyte values within normal limits. The advice for owners is to pay attention to early signs of respiratory distress such as prolonged runny nose, stridor, and mucopurulent discharge. Prompt treatment of the disease can prevent the animal's condition from getting worse, speed up recovery and improve the pet's quality of life.</p> I Kadek Putra Janardana, Sri Kayati Widyastuti, Putu Ayu Sisyawati Putriningsih Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/442 Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 SURGICAL TREATMENT OF UMBILICAL HERNIA IN A LOCAL CAT https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/443 <p>Umbilical hernia is an anatomical abnormality in which the muscles around the umbilicus fail to close properly, causing part of the intestine or omentum to enter the hernia sac through the abdominal cavity. The purpose of this article is to present a case study of congenital umbilical hernia in cats, including methods of diagnosis, management, and treatment. A 3-month-old male local cat weighing 1.5 kg came with a lump in the abdominal area, accompanied by a ring and mass that could be pushed back in. According to the owner, the lump had been there since the cat was born and continued to grow over time. Based on the results of physical, clinical, and supporting examinations in the form of barium contrast X-rays, the cat was diagnosed with an umbilical hernia which is a congenital disease with a Fausta prognosis. Treatment is carried out by surgically repositioning the contents of the hernia in the form of intestines into the abdominal cavity and suturing. Postoperatively, the antibiotic cefotaxime injection was given, followed by oral antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and topical antibiotic cream. On the 8th day after surgery, the case cat was declared cured with a dry and fused surgical wound, normal appetite, normal defecation and urination. It can be concluded that the surgical procedure and subsequent treatment successfully cured the hernia. Cats with umbilical hernias should be treated as soon as possible to prevent the hernia opening from getting bigger and causing conditions that endanger the cat's health.</p> Nethania Liady, I Gusti Agung Gde Putra Pemayun, Anak Agung Gde Jayawardhita Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/443 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC MASTITIS DUE TO FUNGAL INFECTION IN MINIATURE PINSCHER DOGS WITH MASTECTOMY METHOD https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/446 <p>Mammary tumors in dogs are often mistaken for mastitis due to their very similar clinical symptoms. The purpose of this article is to provide information on the surgical management of chronic mastitis cases caused by fungal infections through the method of mastectomy. A Miki dog developed a lump in the fourth left mammary gland. Physical examination showed that the mass had a solid consistency. Hematology tests revealed lymphocytosis, microcytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Radiographic examination showed a radiopaque mass in the mammary gland area. Based on the physical examination, clinical signs, hematology, and supported by radiographic findings, the dog was temporarily diagnosed with a mammary tumor, and mastectomy surgery was performed. Postoperative tumor tissue was sent for histopathological examination at the Denpasar Veterinary Center, and the result showed no metastatic tumor cells, but fungal hyphae, macrophages, and lymphocytes were found. The dog was finally diagnosed with chronic mastitis due to a fungal infection. After surgery, the dog was treated with cefotaxime sodium injection (20 mg/kg body weight twice a day) and meloxicam injection (0.2 mg/kg body weight once a day). On the 4th day post-surgery, the treatment continued with cefixime trihydrate (10 mg/kg body weight twice a day for 7 days orally). Additionally, FuFang Ejiao Jiang was given to increase platelet production, 1 ml mixed with food. The wound was cleaned with chlorhexidine, Kenalog ointment was applied, and Enbatic powder was also used. The dog was declared healed on the 9th postoperative day with a dried wound, healed skin, good appetite and drinking, and normal urination and defecation. Biopsy of abnormal tissue is highly recommended to identify the type of tumor for considering therapy plans. However, mastectomy surgery is also necessary in this case because the dog had chronic mastitis, which could contribute to further complications.</p> I Nyoman Perdana Adi Putra, I Gusti Agung Gde Putra Pemayun, Anak Agung Gde Jayawardhita Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/446 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 ANALYSIS OF MILK QUALITY AND TOTAL PLATE COUNT IN COW MILK TRADED IN YOGYAKARTA CITY AREA https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/449 <p>Ensuring food safety of animal origin is very important. Milk can contain microbial contamination as a result of contamination, poor management, and not implementing sanitary hygiene. Control of the quality of milk traded in the community needs to be carried out, so that safe, healthy, intact, and halal aspects are fulfilled. This study aims to determine the quality and contamination of microbes in cow's milk traded in the Yogyakarta City area. The sample consisted of 14 pasteurized milk and 6 samples of fresh milk. Milk quality testing includes specific gravity, fat content, and lean dry weight tests using Lactoscan<sup>®</sup> tools, as well as microbial contamination testing with the Total Plate Count (TPC) test. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results of the analysis of pasteurized milk showed an average specific gravity of 1.0183 g/ml, a fat content of 3.72%, and a dry weight without fat of 5.67%. The results of the analysis of fresh milk showed that the average specific gravity was 1.0187 g/ml, the fat content was 4.53%, and the dry weight without fat was 5.98%. The TPC test on pasteurized milk, 6 samples were not contaminated with bacteria and 8 samples showed an average TPC test result of 3.77x10<sup>4</sup> CFU/ml. The average TPC test on fresh milk was 0.742x10<sup>6</sup> CFU/ml. The quality of both milk meets the minimum requirements for specific gravity and fat content but has not met the minimum requirements for dry weight without fat, namely in pasteurized milk according to SNI 01-3951-1995 and fresh milk according to SNI 3141.1:2011. The quality of pasteurized milk and fresh milk meets the maximum requirements for microbial contamination according to SNI 7388:2009. Farmers are required to pay attention to the management aspect, especially feed management so that the specific gravity value and fat content can meet SNI standards.</p> Nur Ika Prihanani, Muhammad Rosyid Ridlo, Febri Ariyanti, Nurulia Hidayah, Gihesa Lula Amalia, Ganita Gardin, Raisyha Kinanthi, Abiyyudha Hemiwarsanto, Dinda Ramadhan Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/449 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 COINFECTION OF SEVERE TRICHURIOSIS AND COCCIDIOSIS IN A DUROC WEANER PIG https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/451 <p>The presence of gastrointestinal parasites can inhibit the growth of weaning-phase pigs. In addition, gastrointestinal parasites can make pigs more susceptible to other pathogens and even cause death. This case report discusses the co-infection of severe trichuriosis and coccidiosis with secondary <em>Escherichia coli</em> infection in a Duroc weaner pig. Data were collected through anamnesis, epidemiological studies, clinical signs, anatomical pathology and histopathological examinations, and bacteriology and parasitology laboratory examinations. The case animal is a male Duroc pig, 2.5 months old, originating from Sulahan village, Susut sub-district, Bangli regency, Bali. The clinical signs observed were diarrhea with dark feces and decreased appetite. On anatomical pathology examination, 2329 adult <em>Trichuris suis</em> worms were found in the cecum and colon. Changes in the organs included wounds and hemorrhage in the cecum and colon, hemorrhage in the stomach and small intestine, and a singular white spot found on the uneven-colored liver. Histopathological examination showed <em>enteritis hemorrhagis et necroticans, colitis necroticans verminosa, gastritis necroticans, </em>and <em>hepatitis necroticans</em>. Bacteriological examination identified <em>Escherichia coli</em> in the intestine and liver specimens. Qualitative examination of feces revealed <em>T. suis</em> eggs and <em>Eimeria</em> spp. oocysts. According to McMaster's calculations, there were 36,200 eggs per gram (EPG) of <em>T. suis</em> and 15,800 oocysts per gram (OPG) of <em>Eimeria</em> spp. Based on all data, along with the results of laboratory examinations, it can be concluded that the pig was infected with severe trichuriosis and coccidiosis with secondary <em>Escherichia coli</em> infection. Pigs that are still alive and are confirmed to be infected with trichuriosis and coccidiosis should be treated.</p> Kezia Joana Limarta, I Ketut Berata, Hapsari Mahatmi, I Nyoman Mantik Astawa, I Putu Cahyadi Putra Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/451 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 CHRONIC RHINITIS WITH BACTERIAL SECONDARY INFECTION IN A LOCAL CAT https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/457 <p>Rhinitis is an upper respiratory tract disorder in cats that involves irritation and inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Cats suffering from rhinitis may exhibit various clinical signs, such as sneezing, coughing, fever, respiratory distress (either in the form of rapid or slow breathing), nasal discharge, hypersalivation, excessive tearing, and lymph node swelling. This article aims to identify the results of anamnesis, clinical signs, and supporting examination findings in a feline case to determine the diagnosis and evaluate the provided therapy. The case subject is a 6-year-old cat named Kumeng, weighing 3.4 kg, with a tabby coat and local breed. The cat has been experiencing symptoms such as sneezing, nasal discharge, and difficulty breathing for the past five months. Physical examination revealed nasal discharge. Supporting examination findings, such as X-rays, showed no changes in the lower respiratory tract but nasal examination show increased opacity, and hematological results were normal. However, bacterial isolation from the nasal discharge identified the presence of four bacteria: <em>Staphylococcus</em> sp., <em>Bacillus</em> sp., <em>Proteus</em> sp., and <em>Micrococcus</em> sp. Cytological examination of the discharge also showed the presence of inflammatory neutrophil cells. The treatment provided included doxycycline hyclate at 10 mg/kg body weight q24h for 14 days, the anti-inflammatory methylprednisolone at 0.5 mg/kg body weight q24h for 7 days, the mucolytic bromhexine HCl at 1 mg/kg body weight q24h, and a multivitamin tablet q24h. On the 14th day after treatment, the frequency of sneezing in the cat was reduced, and the nasal discharge became more watery and clear.</p> Arya Duta Adnyana, Sri Kayati Widyastuti, I Nyoman Suartha Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/457 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 DIAGNOSIS OF MASTITIS IN ETAWA CROSSBREED GOATS https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/413 <p>Mastitis is a disease which occur as result of the infection in mammary gland. Mastitis in Etawa Crossbred goat is commonly found and caused economic loss. Subclinical mastitis causes decrease in milk production and milk quality. Subclinical mastitis is a type of mastitis which does not show clinical symptoms. The purpose of this study was to diagnose subclinical mastitis on Etawa Crossbred goat by using the IPB-1 test. This study was a descriptive research. Detection was done by taking milk samples on Etawa Crossbred goat purposively and was reacted with IPB-1 reagents which were circulated circularly for 15-20 seconds. The observation of the reaction results of milk and reagent were determined based on consistency changing with the coagulation period. In this case, blood tests were also carried out. The results showed that Etawa Crossbreed goats was detected with subclinical mastitis with a score of +2 using the IPB-1 test method. The results of blood tests showed that the goat had hyperchromic macrocytic anemia, leukocytosis and monocytosis. Based on the results of the anamnesis, physical examination, and laboratory results, the goat was found to have subclinical mastitis with a fausta prognosis. It is hoped that a thorough examination and the use of different methods can identify the cause of subclinical mastitis in PE goats and facilitate the treatment.</p> Usma Aulia, Rikamalia, Anna Zukiaturrahmah, Juliadi Ramadhan, Ario Ridho Gelagar Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/413 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 COLISEPTICEMIA IN PIGLET AT A PIG FARM IN PEREAN VILLAGE, BATURITI DISTRICT, TABANAN, BALI https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/459 <p>The animal used as case in this report is a pig came from a farm in Perean Village, Baturiti District, Tabanan, Bali. It is a male piglet aged ± 2 months which was reported to have had continuous diarrhea for 6 days. The piglet was also showing symptoms such as emaciation, weakness and anorexia. This case study aims to discuss the anatomical pathology findings, histopathology and laboratory examination results of the piglet which is suspected of being infected with colibacillosis. The examination method consists of collecting data related to epidemiology, necropsy and data on anatomical pathological changes, histopathological preparations and histopathological change lesion findings, culture and identification of bacteria, and identification of parasites. All data results obtained will then be analyzed qualitative descriptively (Dharmayanti, 2022). Necropsy result shows haemorrrhage in almost all organs, along with distension and swelling in the intestines and stomach. Histopathological examination shows bleeding and inflammation in brain, trachea, spleen, and large intestine, as well as inflammation and necrosis in the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, stomach and small intestine. In the bacteriological examination, the bacterial agent E. coli was successfully isolated from heart and lungs. While the parasitological examination did not reveal any parasitic agents involved. Based on series of examinations that had been carried out, it is concluded that the piglet is infected with colibacillosis. It is recommended to improve sanitation of the cage and surrounding areas in order to further reduce the risk of colibacillosis transmission amongst pigs.</p> Bintang Sabrina Bunga Karona Siahaan, Hapsari Mahatmi, I Ketut Berata, I Made Dwinata, I Nyoman Mantik Astawa Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/459 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 THE EFFECT OF GIVING GAMAL LEAF BLOCK ON THE HEMATOLOGICAL PROFILE OF CATTLE EXPERIENCING ANESTRUS https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/461 <p>Anestrus is a condition in female animals that do not show symptoms of estrus for a long period of time. Anestrus in cows can cause physiological, environmental and management changes. Gamal leaves can be used as a source of protein for livestock. Mother cows experience fluctuating hematological changes, such as hemoglobinemia, erythropenia and leucocythemia. This study aims to determine the effect of gamal block on hemoglobin levels, total erythrocytes, hematocrit values ​​and total leukocytes in Bali cattle experiencing anestrus. This research used 6 anestrus Bali cattle selected using purposive sampling. The six cows were given gamal block treatment with a composition of 250 grams of gamal leaf simplicial, 200 ml propylene glycol and 4 grams of salt for 14 days. After that, a 2ml blood sample was taken via the jugular vein on day 0, day 10 and day 20. The results of the study obtained mean hemoglobin levels sequentially on days 0, 10 and 20, namely 8.98 ± 0.23 g/dL, 8.78 ± 0.23 g/dL, 8.26 ± 0, 23 g/dL. Total erythrocytes were 4.80±0.18 106/μL, 4.92±0.18 106/μL, 4.73±0.18106/μL respectively. Hematocrit values ​​were 29.53 ± 0.60 %, 28.23 ± 0.60 %, 26.64 ± 0.61 %, respectively. And total leukocytes were 7.21±0.27 103/μL, 7.56±0.27 103/μL, 6.63±0.27 103/μL respectively.

Liver dysfunction is classified as prehepatic, hepatic, and posthepatic. This case study aims to determine how to diagnose and treat ascites cases due to liver dysfunction in cats. A domestic cat named Memeng, a 3-year-old female weighing 1.8 kg, complained of an enlarged abdomen for four months. On clinical examination, abdominal distension was found due to fluid accumulation accompanied by abdominal vein distension, when palpating the abdomen, the liver felt hard and protruding so that the abdomen looked asymmetrical between the two sides of the cat's abdomen, rapid breathing and unbalanced walking. Hematology examination, FIPV kit test and blood chemistry and X-rays were performed twice on the 2nd and 14th days. Hematology examination showed that the case cat had microcytic hypochromic anemia, leukocytosis, neutrophillia, monocytosis, and thrombocytopenia. The FIPV kit test showed negative results. The results of the blood biochemistry examination on the 2nd day showed an increase in Globulin, Alanine aminotransferase, Aspartate aminotransferase, Amylase and a decrease in Albumin values. The blood biochemistry examination on the 14th day showed normal results in all indicators. The results of the X-ray examination on the 2nd day showed radioopacity in the abdominal region indicating fluid accumulation so that the organs were not visible. The X-ray examination on the 14th day showed that the organs in the abdominal region were slightly visible indicating reduced fluid accumulation.

INFECTIONS IN BROILER CHICKENS AT A CLOSED HOUSE FARM IN BATUNGSEL VILLAGE, TABANAN https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/466 <p><em>Escherichia coli</em> is a coliform bacterium naturally found in the intestines of mammals. However, pathogenic strains, such as Avian Pathogenic <em>Escherichia coli</em> (APEC), can cause systemic infections and bacteremia in poultry. Infections by <em>Escherichia coli</em> in broilers lead to economic losses due to decreased production and increased mortality. This case report was conducted under protocol number 1/N/24, using anamnesis, clinical signs, epidemiological data, anatomical pathology, and histopathology observations to diagnose the condition. A 28-day-old white broiler chicken was collected from a closed house farm in Batungsel Village, Pupuan District, Tabanan Regency. Observed signs included lethargy, reduced appetite, an enlarged reddish abdomen, and white diarrhea. After the chicken's death, a necropsy was performed, and organ samples were preserved in 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin (NBF). Samples of the brain, lungs, liver, heart, spleen, kidneys, intestines, bursa, and feces were analyzed in histopathology, bacteriology, and parasitology laboratories.&nbsp; Histopathological preparations were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for microscopic examination. Bacterial infection tests included culturing samples from the intestines, liver, lungs, and heart on general, selective-differential, and Blood Agar media, followed by primary and secondary tests. The presence of <em>Escherichia coli</em> and <em>Shigella sp.</em> was confirmed. Parasite examinations using the flotation method showed no worm eggs or coccidia. These findings confirmed that the chicken was infected with <em>Escherichia coli</em> and <em>Shigella sp.</em>To prevent such infections, maintaining clean and sanitized housing is essential. Strict biosecurity measures are crucial to prevent external bacterial contamination. With good management practices, broiler chicken health can be optimally maintained.</p> I Putu Gde Surya Nagara Ardiana, Hapsari Mahatmi, I Ketut Berata, Nyoman Adi Suratma, Tri Komala Sari Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/466 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOODS OF ANIMAL ORIGIN https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/467 <p>Animal-based foods are an important source of protein. However, the presence of pathogenic microbes such as <em>Escherichia coli</em> (<em>E</em>. <em>coli</em>) in food products can lead to serious issues concerning food safety and public health. This study aims to provide a literature review on the contamination of <em>E</em>. <em>coli</em> in various animal-based foods, including chicken meat, beef, fish, and milk, with a focus on several factors including the causes of contamination, its impact on food safety, and effective control measures. The research method used is a literature review utilizing various electronic sources. A total of 335 chicken meat samples were tested, with 270 positive and 65 negative results. A total of 73 beef samples were tested, with 63 positive and 10 negative results. A total of 16 fish samples were tested, with 9 positive and 7 negative results. A total of 37 milk samples were tested, with 15 positive and 22 negative results. The overall findings indicate that <em>E</em>. <em>coli</em> contamination in animal-based food products can occur at various stages, from production to distribution. This contamination can lead to foodborne diseases such as diarrhea and more serious gastrointestinal infections, especially in vulnerable populations. Factors such as hygiene and individual behavior, environmental conditions, cleanliness, and unhygienic processing methods are the main causes of the increased risk of contamination. The literature review discusses the importance of implementing food safety standards, biosecurity, and appropriate processing technologies to reduce the risk of contamination. Educating the public and food industry stakeholders on safe food handling practices is crucial in preventing foodborne diseases caused by<em> E</em>. <em>coli</em>.</p> Tsalisa Praba Kusuma, Rasyad Wahyu Mahendra, Resta Lasarika, Aris Renanda Takbir’adha Hardanny, Nur Ika Prihanani Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/467 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 OPTIMIZATION OF ISOPROPYL--D-THIOGALACTOPYRANOSIDE (IPTG) CONCENTRATION AS A TRIGGER FOR BOVINE LACTOFERRINE (BLF) GEN EXPRESSION https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/468 <p>Lactoferrin in cow's milk is known as Bovine Lactoferrin (bLf). Currently, lactoferrin is being developed as an ingredient in vaccines and medicines. As a vaccine material, the plasmid gene bLf is expressed with Isopropyl-b-D-Thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) to form recombinant proteins. The volume of IPTG used to induce gene expression depends on the bacteria's volume. Different concentrations of IPTG can generally affect the expression rate of recombinant proteins. Therefore, this study determined the optimal concentration of IPTG in expressing bLf protein. The study began with a gradual bLf culture from 1ml of Terrific Broth (TB) media, if the growth is good, upscaling to 10ml culture media. The bLf culture was incubated in a shaker incubator at a speed of 120rpm for 48 hours, at a temperature of 37ºC. After the growth of good bacteria, it was induced using IPTG with varying final concentrations of 0.125mM, 0.25mM, 0.5mM and 1mM. Re-incubated in a shaker incubator for 4-6 hours. The bLf culture was then centrifuged for 10 min at 6000rpm. Centrifugation results in the form of supernatants were removed, while the sediment was added as much as 300μl of PBS. The culture was ultrasonicated for 10 years with an amplitude of 50%. Furthermore, it was analyzed using the SDS-PAGE method. The test began by adding a buffer of 15μl to 45μl of sonicated results and heated at 95ºC for 10 minutes, then electrophoresis on acrylamide gel. The results showed that in each treatment or replicate there was a bLf protein. Visually, it was seen that there was no significant difference in the variation of IPTG concentration treatment for expressing the bLf plasmid gene. Adding IPTG to express bLf genes with lower or higher concentrations did not affect the bLf proteins produced. Lowering the IPTG concentration from 1μM to 0.125 can reduce production costs. Further testing is needed to use lower concentrations of IPTG in other plasmid genes.</p> Luh Dewi Anggreni, Ni made Ritha Krisna Dewi, I Gusti Ngurah Kade Mahardika, I Gusti Ngurah Narendra Putra Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/468 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000 HAZARD ANALYSIS OF ANTIBIOTIC USE IN BROILER FARMING https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/469 <p>Increasing poultry populations and the use of conventional antibiotics to maintain the health of livestock and animal products have led to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a global public health concern. The pattern of antibiotic use and misuse in broiler farming can be an implication of the emergence of various types of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their spread among animals, humans, and the environment. The purpose of this literature review is to analyse the hazards associated with antibiotic use on broiler farms, the risk of antimicrobial resistance, and the potential consequences for animal, human and environmental health. In general, the negative impacts of antibiotic residues on human health include toxicological, microbiological and immunopathological hazards and economic impacts. Meanwhile, the impact of excessive use of antibiotics in livestock can lead to a weaker immune system, cause dysbacteriosis, the occurrence of secondary diseases or infections, residues in poultry products, and antibiotic resistance to pathogens. Furthermore, the overuse of antibiotics on broiler farms can result in pollution to the environment surrounding the farms that is distributed into soil, water, and plants. Therefore, effective mitigation of the risks associated with the extensive use of antimicrobials on broiler farms and management of AMR issues is essential, and requires a multidisciplinary integrated approach, such as the One Health approach to achieve optimal health and welfare outcomes and emphasize the interconnectedness between humans, animals and the environment.</p> I Ketut Tomy Caesar Ramanda, Kadek Karang Agustina Copyright (c) 2025 Buletin Veteriner Udayana https://ejournal3.unud.ac.id/index.php/buletinvet/article/view/469 Tue, 31 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000
