Background: The virus of Avian Influenza (AI) H5N1 has become endemic in Indonesia since 2003. In 2012, the Avian Influenza outbreak at District Penebel caused chickens mortality in large numbers. One of the efforts to prevention the Avian Influenza outbreak is by vaccination. Therefore, supporting AI vaccination program needs diagnostic methods from post-vaccinated chickens that produce antibody titer by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test. Purpose: The study aims to monitor the antibody of Avian Influenza phase I and phase II production in laying hens at District Penebel, Tabanan Regency. Method: 131 serum samples were collected from hens serums at poultry which has been sampled before. The serum sample is tested by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test to calculate antibody titer. The serum is protective if the titer reacheas 24 or more, and the serum is unprotective if the titer is under 24. Data presented in 2x2 cross-sectional study contingent tabel and analyzed by Chi-Square (X2) non-parametric with the distribution. Results: Protective percentage of immunity level in production phase I in laying hens at District Penebel is 60,3%, whereas on production phase II is 43,6%. Data from the 2x2 contingent table showed an odd ratio of 1,9. The result of the Chi-Square (X2) analysis statistic represents immunity levels between production phase I and II are non-significance (p>0,05). Conclusion: Production phase I in laying hens has an immunity level 1,9x higher than production phase II. There is an association between the production phase and the protective immunity level of Avian Influenza.
Background: Canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a disease that results in a decreased ability of the cardiac contraction to generate pressure to pump blood through the vascular system. DCM is characterized by dilation of the ventricles with ventricular wall thinning. Purpose: The DCM case in Indonesia is rarely reported; therefore, this paper contains information about dilatated cardiomyopathy in a 2-month-old puppy. Case Analyze: A two-month-old local dog arrived with a complaint about coughing, loss of appetite, fatigue, and swelling on extremities, also having a history of seizures and bloody diarrhea. Physical examination shows that the patient breathes using abdominal type and polypnea, tachycardia pulse, pale mucose, and dehydration. Electrocardiogram result shows tachycardia sinus and abnormality in the depression of ST-segment. Radiography examination shows heart dilation and liquid accumulation in the thoracic cavity and abdomen. Hematology routine examination shows microcytic hyperchromic anemia, leucocytosis, and eosinophilia. Feces examination resulted in negative. Pathology anatomy examination show dilatated cardio, pulmonum hepatization, fluid accumulation in the thoracic cavity and abdomen cavity. Result: According to anamnesis, clinical examination, laboratory examination, and anatomy pathology examination can be concluded that the dog, in this case, is diagnosed with dilatated cardiomyopathy.
