Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi dan melatih masyarakat agar terampil dalam pengelolaan usaha peternakan ayam kampung. Mitra kegiatan ini adalah sepuluh orang ibu-ibu yang memiliki profesi sebagai penenun (kain tenun Timor) dalam sanggar WOKOLEUTUAN di Dusun Dua Oelkiub, Desa Camplong II, Kabupaten Kupang, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Beberapa tahapan pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian berbasis pemberdayaan masyarakat ini, meliputi: (1) tahap pendahuluan berupa observasi lokasi kegiatan dan perumusan masalah yang dihadapi mitra, serta persiapan bahan material; (2) tahap berikutnya adalah penentuan metode pendekatan pemecahan masalah, melalui pelaksanaan kegiatan sosialisasi serta pelatihan beternak ayam yang meliputi penentuan lokasi kandang, penyiapan kandang dan peralatan, pembuatan pakan ransum, dan pemberian vaksinasi. Selain
Teknik sexing pada burung secara molekuler dengan metode PCR telah banyak dikembangkan, tetapi sampel yang digunakan adalah darah dan bulu yang dianggap invasif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari efisiensi sampel swab bukal sebagai sumber DNA dalam sexing dengan metode PCR. Penelitian ini menggunakan 10 ekor burung kenari (Serinus canaria) yang terdiri dari 6 ekor burung dewasa (3 jantan dan 3 betina) dan 4 ekor kenari piyikan (umur 14 – 18 hari) yang belum diketahui jenis kelaminnya serta 6 ekor merpati (Columba livia) dewasa (3 jantan dan 3 betina) dan 7 ekor merpati piyikan (umur 14 – 25 hari) yang belum diketahui jenis kelaminnya. Amplifikasi fragmen gen dilakukan menggunakan metode PCR dengan pasangan primer CHD1F/CHD1R.Hasil visualisasi produk PCR menunjukkan semua burung jantan dewasa menghasilkan satu band (± 500 bp), sedangkan burung betina dewasa menghasilkan dua band (± 500 bp dan ± 300 bp). Amplifikasi gen dari swab bukal burung kenari muda didapatkan 2 ekor jantan dan 2 ekor betina, sedangkan dari swab bukal burung merpati muda didapatkan 6 ekor jantan dan 1 ekor betina. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa sampel swab bukal terbukti efisien sebagai sumber DNA dalam sexing burung khususnya burung piyikan.
Conception Rate (CR) and Service Conception (S/C) are two parameters for assessing the reproductive performance of cattle. This research was conducted to determine the value of S/C and CR in crossbreeding cattle in the working area of the Public Health Center. The material used in this study was 72 crossbreed cattle aged 3-10 years. Semi-intensive rearing system with AI mating. The results the S/C in this study was 3.9 higher than the ideal standard of 1.6–2. The CR in this study was 58.6%. CR numbers are still relatively low from the ideal, namely 65 -75%.
Due to the unprudent use of antibiotics globally, it causes the incidence of antibiotic resistance with the emergence of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and has implications for the failure of the use of antibiotics in dealing with various cases of diseases caused by bacteria. The incidence of antibiotic resistance in the livestock sector occurs due to the use of antibiotics that are not based on recommendations and antibiotics are given in the long term. The presence of bacteria that carry resistance to one or several kinds of antibiotics in livestock is a threat to animal and human health. The city of Kupang as an area that has pig farms and a high pig population has a big challenge to the emergence of antibiotic resistance due to the use of antibiotics in maintaining livestock health. One of the bacteria that has a large number of distributions and is widely found in livestock and is an indicator of antibiotic resistance is Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). This research has used an observational research method based on data collection methods and laboratory examinations, which are adjusted to the objectives that have been set. The approach that has been used in this research is a Cross Sectional Study, because it wants to get an overview of S. aureus bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. The sample that has been needed is pig feces obtained by field observations. The data analysis technique that has been used is a descriptive analysis model, to explain the presence of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus bacteria in pig farms. The results showed that this isolation and identification process resulted in 28 (51.85%) samples that were positive for S. aureus. The highest prevalence of resistance was found in S. aureus which was resistant to the antibiotic Colistin sulfate (82.1%). The number of antibiotics tested from S. aureus isolates showed various variations from 0 to 3 types of antibiotics that were resistant in 1 isolate. The most common resistance pattern shown in S. aureus isolates was the CS (Colistin sulfate) pattern as many as 19 of the 28 samples. The conclusion of this study encourages the need to increase supervision related to the use of antibiotics and increase public awareness of the use of antibiotics and prevention of the increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
