2024-11-20T09:48:54+07:00

Food safety has become a global issue. Hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) is a food safety assurance system in the world that emphasizes prevention efforts. This research is a qualitative descriptive epidemiological study which aims to examine the application of HACCP in the distribution chain of frozen chicken meat in Sikka Regency on the growth parameters of total bacteria, Salmonella, and antibiotic residues through field observations at supplier companies and retailers, as well as laboratory tests on 30 frozen chicken meat samples, and 30 fresh chicken meat samples as a comparison. Laboratory tests found antibiotic residues in 60% of samples (16.7% in fresh chicken meat), and microbial contamination in 33% of samples without Salmonella contamination (40% in fresh chicken meat without Salmonella contamination). Monitoring of antibiotic residues has not been carried out properly by supplier companies because the number of samples is very small, sales in markets without refrigeration facilities for up to five hours together with fresh chicken or near fresh fish allows contamination of chicken meat. HACCP principles have not been properly applied in the frozen chicken meat distribution chain. Guidance and regular monitoring are needed so that the quality of frozen chicken meat is maintained.

2024-11-20T10:27:25+07:00

Papilloma refers to the abnormal growth of tissue in the form of tumors or warts. The clinical signs of oral papillomatosis include lesions or masses that develop inside the oral cavity. Oral papillomatosis in cats is caused by Canine Papillomavirus (CPV). The papillomavirus induces tumors by infecting cells through wounds. The purpose of this report is to describe the diagnosis and management of oral papillomatosis in a mixed domestic cat at the Yogyakarta Animal Clinic. Diagnosis of papillomatosis can be made based on visible clinical signs and confirmed through cytological examination of the tumor mass. Management of oral papillomatosis involves the surgical removal of the tumor mass along with the surrounding tissue. Postoperative therapy includes the administration of antibiotics (Cefixime®), anti-inflammatory drugs (Methylprednisolone®), and antifungal agents (Candistatin®).

2024-12-04T17:15:41+07:00

Enucleation is a procedure for removing the eye in cats due to pathological conditions that cannot be treated with medical therapy, such as uncontrolled glaucoma or intraocular tumors. Prolapse of the bulbus oculi in cats is generally caused by glaucoma (increased intraocular pressure), bacterial or viral infections, trauma from being hit by a vehicle, scratches or fights with other animals, and eye tumors. The subject of this case was a male cat named Chiko, approximately 1 year old, weighing 2.5 kg, who was brought to the She Wee Veterinary Clinic in Palembang with the complaint of a protruding eye. Based on the anamnesis, physical examination, and clinical symptoms, Chiko was diagnosed with bulbus oculi prolapse and underwent medical treatment in the form of an enucleation surgery. The treatment administered included antibiotics, vitamins, analgesics, and ointments. The use of an Elizabethan collar was also recommended to prevent the wound from being scratched. Recovery showed good wound healing within approximately 7 days without serious complications. It was concluded that the enucleation procedure performed on Chiko, using the transpalpebral technique, had a fausta prognosis.

PRODUKTIVITAS DAN KESEHATAN AYAM BROILER PASCA LARANGAN ANTI GROWTH PROMOTERS DI INDONESIA

2025-01-16T18:43:36+07:00

Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGP) have been used in the broiler industry to improve growth performance. The use of AGPs over a long period of time has led to antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, the Indonesian government has banned the use of AGPs. This has led to the search for alternative strategies to maintain productivity and the health of broiler chickens. This review aims to examine the productivity and health of broiler chickens following the AGP ban and explore potential alternatives. The ban on AGPs has resulted in decreased productivity and increased mortality in broiler chickens. Several alternatives to AGPs have been proposed, including the use of natural growth promoters and the implementation of strict biosecurity measures. Natural growth promoters, such as plant extracts have shown promising results in improving growth performance and gut health in broiler chickens. The implementation of biosecurity measures can help to prevent and control diseases, thus reducing the need for antibiotics. In conclusion, the ban on AGPs has created challenges for the broiler industry in Indonesia. However, the use of natural growth promoters and the implementation of biosecurity measures offer potential solutions to maintain productivity and the health of broiler chickens.
