Saponin merupakan senyawa glikosida steroid atau triterpen ditemukan dalam berbagai tanaman dan memiliki peran penting dalam pakan ternak. Beberapa tanaman terutama leguminosa banyak digunakan sebagai pakan ternak. Pada tanaman saponin terdapat pada akar, umbi, kulit kayu, daun, biji, dan buah. Saponin memiliki dampak positif dan negatif pada produksi dan kesehatan hewan ternak karena memiliki aktivitas biologis yang luas. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran pengaruh positif dan negatif dari saponin pada ternak
Background and Aim: Worms from nematodes are the most numerous and the most detrimental in elephants. Most adult worms are located in the digestive tract. Nematode infection is at higher risk in young elephants, which caused several cases such as anemia, hypoalbuminemia, enteritis, and even death. This study aimed to determine the morphology and morphometry of adult nematodes on Sumatran elephants in Way Kambas National Park area. Materials and Methods: Nematode samples were obtained from Sumatran elephants' feces (Elephas maximus sumatranus) in Way Kambas National Park, Lampung Province, after being given Kalbazen® containing albendazole 1000 mg at a dose of 10 mg/kg by the veterinarian in charge of the National Park area. For the morphological and morphometric examinations, we used an Olympus BX 51 microscope equipped with Olympus DP 12 camera and were conducted at the Parasitology Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis was carried out at the Biology Research Center of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia). Results: The results of macroscopic observations of the obtained nematodes showed that the nematodes which were found have the characteristics of round, slim, and white color. The size of a female worm was larger than a male worm. Microscopic examination in four anterior papillae indicated that the dorsal lobe in the copulatory bursa was longer than lateral lobe. The result of inspection with the SEM showed a leaf crown consisting of 10 elements, a pair of amphids laterally, and two pairs of papilla in a submedian region. Conclusion: Based on our morphology and morphometry examinations of adult nematodes in Sumatran elephant (E. maximus sumatranus) in Way Kambas National Park area, the adult nematodes which were found are species of Quilonia travancra.
Dermatophytosis (ringworm) is an important feline skin disease primarily caused by the dermatophyte genera Microsporum and Trichophyton which may be affected by climate. Studying the prevalence of dermatophytosis on cats in Indonesia and Turkey was the main purpose of this article review. The articles reviewed were two articles from Turkey published consecutively on year 2011 and 2016, and an article from Indonesia published on year 2017. The findings showed that the prevalence of dermatophytosis in Indonesia was 17/30 (56.7%) while Turkey was 52/428 (12.1%). The age of the infected animals was the only predictor that had a major effect on the incidence of dermatophytosis on cats, as shown by the excellent positive cases of cats under one year of age relative to other age groups. In conclusion, the prevalence of dermatophytosis on cats in Turkey was slightly lower compared to the prevalence of feline dermatophytosis in subtropical country (Indonesia) and the variations may be attributed to the variation in humidity and temperature faced in both countries.
A 2 years old male sulcata (Centrochelys sulcata) tortoise presented to the clinic with problems of refuse to eat for 2 weeks, weaken, sleeping all day long and no defecated or urinating during last 1 week. The population is 24 tortoises in many species. Daily diets mainly on lettuce and cabbage. Clinical signs found during physical examination were closed eyelids, weakness and inactive. An X-ray imaging was presented and found a large white mass in urinary bladder. The diagnose was bladder stones or calculi vesicalis. Due to the size and the density of the bladder stones, a surgery intervention for bladder stones removal was conducted. Anesthesia using ketamine dose 30 mg/kg BW combine with xylazine dose 2 mg/kg BW injected intramuscularly. The surgery starts with cutting the plastron using a sterile dremel, opening the plastron and put the cutting plastron in saline water, opening the coelomic cavity by incising the abdominal muscles, finding the urinary bladder, incision the urinary bladder, removing the bladder stones, flushing the urinary bladder, suturing the urinary bladder, suturing the abdominal muscles, closing the plastron and applying the epoxy glue for covering the cutting plastron. Antibiotic enrofloxacine 10% with dose 5 mg/kg BW combine with antiinflamatory tolfenamic acid 4% and vitamin B complex all are injected intramuscularly once a day for 5 consecutive days. The tortoise was hospitalized and monitoring daily. The tortoise recover in day 4 after surgery, start eating and healing to normal activities in day 7.
Stasis urin merupakan diagnosis simtomatif yang menggambarkan tertahannya urin di dalam saluran urinaria yang biasanya ditandai dengan membesarnya vesica urinaria (VU). Gejala klinis dan hasil pemeriksaan laboratoris sangat berperan penting dalam menentukan diagnosanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kejadian stasis urin pada kucing secara klinis dan laboratoris. Materi yang digunakkan di dalam penelitian ini adalah 10 ekor kucing yang menunjukkan gejala klinis kesulitan urinasi. Semua kucing diperiksa fisik secara lege artis meliputi kondisi umum dan keadaan organ urinari khususnya VU. Kucing selanjutnya diambil sampel darahnya untuk diperiksa gambaran hematologi meliputi pemeriksaan jumlah eritrosit dan leukosit, nilai hemoglobin (Hb) dan packet cell volume (PCV). Hasil pemeriksaan pada penelitian ini didapatkan bahwa semua 10 ekor kucing (100%) menunjukkan gejala klinis tidak urinasi lebih dari 24 jam, pembesaran dan distensi VU, penurunan nafsu makan dan minum, lemas dan 3 ekor kucing (30%) menunjukkan penurunan reflek kesadaran. Semua kucing dalam penelitian ini berjenis kelamin jantan, terdiri dari 8 ekor (80%) berumur 13-24 bulan dan 2 ekor (20%) berumur lebih dari 24 bulan. Hasil pemeriksaan VU menggunakan USG didapatkan adanya peradangan dinding pada 9 ekor (90%), penebalan dinding pada 7 (70%) ekor dan adanya urolit pada 9 (90%) ekor kucing. Hasil pemeriksaan hematologi didapatkan semua parameter darah yang diperiksa dalam batasan yang normal. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini disimpulkan bahwa stasis urin total menunjukkan gejala klinis tidak urinasi, penurunan nafsu makan, pembesaran dan distensi VU yang pada pemeriksaan menggunakan USG menunjukkan adanya keradangan dan penebalan dinding VU dan ditemukan urolit.
