Aflatoxin is a toxic compound from the fungus A. flavus which can cause a decrease in chicken productivity. This study aims to evaluate the effect of bentonite clay and activated charcoal in chicken feed as aflatoxin binders based on histopathological and immunological features in chickens. A total of 60 chickens were randomly divided into 4 groups (G0, G1, G2, and G3) each group consisted of 15 chickens. G0 as a control without the addition of aflatoxin to the feed. Groups G1, G2, and G3’s feed were added with 106 ppb of aflatoxin. G2 was treated with 5g/kg bentonite clay, G3 was treated with 5g/kg activated charcoal. Chickens were vaccinated with Newcastle Disease (ND) on day 5. On days 14 and 28 serum was collected from the specimens for titer antibody testing. At the end of the study the chickens were dissected, the liver was taken for a histopathological test. The results of the aflatoxin level in the G0, G1, G2, and G3 groups were 10.5, 106, 19.1, and 23.95 ppb, respectively. Microscopic changes show the negative effects of aflatoxin on the liver organ. Group G0 did not show any histopathological changes, Group G2 and G3 showed several mild histopathological changes, whereas group G1 was the most severe. The antibody titers against Newcastle Disease (ND) of 4-weeks old chickens in G0, G1, G2, and G3 were 64, 4, 32, 32 HI units, respectively. The G0 treatment group has a protective titer against ND disease. Group G1 has the lowest (non-protective) ND antibody titer. Whereas the G2 and G3 groups both have protective titers against ND disease. Based on this study it was concluded that the administration of bentonite clay and activated charcoal was able to produce better immunological and histopathological features than the control group.
Abstrak Kegiatan pengabdian pada periode ini bertujuan untuk mengintroduksikan teknik pemeliharaan ayam buras yang berorientasi agrobisnis. Pada tahapan awal, kegiatan dimulai dengan penyuluhan (sosialisasi) untuk membekali masyarakat dengan pengetahuan manajemen pemeliharaan ayam kampung buras, aspek nutrisi, perkawinan, perkandangan, penyakit, vaksinasi, dan sanitasi kandang. Tahapan kedua meliputi pendampingan secara aktif dalam peningkatan keterampilan masyarakat dalam budidaya praktis, dengan pendekatan praktek lapangan secara partisipatif. Selanjutnya, masyarakat sasaran membuat kandang demplot sebagai percontohan di lokasi kegiatan. Tahapan realisasi dilakukan dengan praktek pemeliharaan ayam buras selama 2 bulan. Masyarakat sasaran dibekali bibit ayam, peralatan kandang, pakan, dan obat-obatan untuk memulai kegiatan pemeliharaan. Program sosialisasi telah dilakukan secara bertahap, sehingga memudahkan masyarakat untuk memahami manajemen pemeliharaan ayam buras dengan konsep agrobisnis yang menerapkan good farming practice meliputi aspek nutrisi, brooding, perkandangan, penyakit, vaksinasi, reproduksi dan sanitasi kandang. Tahapan pembuatan demplot kandang budidaya ayam sebagai gambaran kandang dan metode pemeliharaan yang baik. Tahapan pembuatan kandang ini mengedepankan aspek pastisipatif dari masyarakat. Metode pemeliharaan yang disasar bersifat semi intensif. Sebagai bagian dari motivasi kepada masyarakat, tim juga telah memberikan bantuan anakan ayam (DOC) sejumlah 1000 ekor yang dibagikan merata kepada masyarakat. Metode pemeliharaan semi-intensif sangat efektif digunakan untuk budidaya ayam buras bagi masyarakat Desa Janten, Temon, Kulon Progo. Kata kunci : ayam buras, Semi-intensif, Produktivitas AbstractThe service activity carried out aims to introduce agribusiness-oriented domestic chicken maintenance techniques to the community. In the initial stages, efforts were made to increase public knowledge and awareness about integrated agribusiness such as: nutrition, artificial insemination, housing, disease, vaccination, and sanitary enclosures. The second stage involves the target community to make a demonstration plot as a pilot at the location. The realization stage was carried out with the practice of raising domestic poultry for 2 months. The target community is equipped with chickens, cage equipment, food, and medicine to start maintenance activities. These socialization programs were introducing the agribusiness system that applies good farming practice such as: nutrition, brooding, housing, vaccination, reproduction and sanitation enclosures. The stages of making chicken cage demonstration plots were carried out in one of the community houses as a pilot. It is hoped that this demonstration plot can provide a pretty good picture of the stable and maintenance methods. The team has also provided 1000 heads of day old chicken (DOC) with the targeted maintenance methods are semi-intensive. This semi-intensive maintenance method is very effective to be used for the cultivation of free-range chicken. For the people of Janten Village, Temon, Kulon Progo.
Kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat Tahun 2018 telah dilaksanakan di Desa Soropati, Hargotirto, Kokap, Kulon Progo. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk memberikan sosialisasi dalam pemeliharaan dan pembentukan kelompok kelinci dengan melibatkan civitas akademika Program Studi Diploma Kesehatan Hewan, Departemen Teknologi Hayati dan Veteriner, Sekolah Vokasi, Universitas Gadjah Mada dengan Puskeswan Kokap sehingga dapat terjalin komunikasi yang baik antara akademisi, petugas, dan masyarakat peternak. Kegiatan dilaksanakan dengan memberikan transfer informasi dan pelatihan mengenai manajemen pemeliharaan kelinci yang meliputi jenis-jenis kelinci, manajemen perkandangan, pakan, dan breeding. Pelaksanaan dilakukan dengan pemberian materi dan diskusi secara interaktif dilanjutkan studi banding ke peternak kelinci yang telah sukses, penyuluhan serta pembinaan. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah telah terbentuk Kelompok Tani Mantep Makaryo yang bergerak dibidang pemeliharaan dan pembudidayaan kelinci. Pembinaan terhadap peternak yang berkelanjutan perlu dilaksanakan guna meningkatkan manajemen kesehatan dan pengembangan peternakan kelinci
