Analisis Hubungan Antara Pengetahuan dan Sikap Terhadap Praktik Penggunaan Antibiotika oleh Peternak Babi di Kota Kupang Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur

Abstract

The prevalence of antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem due to the use of false and excessive antibiotics. The use of antibiotics in pig farms is increasing and needs to be aware of side effects, it is also influenced by the knowledge, attitudes and practices of farmers. This study is a cross-sectional study using a structured questionnaire interview to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards the practice of using antibiotics by pig farmers in Kupang city. A total of 96 respondents pig farmers spread over 6 districts, District of Maulafa (9 villages) District of Alak (12 villages) District of Oebobo (7 villages), District of Kelapa Lima (5 villages), District of Kota Raja (2 villages) and the district of Kota Lama (1 village). The variables observed were individual characteristics, knowledge, attitudes and practices of the use of antibiotics by pig farmers in relation to the occurrence of antibiotic resistance. The relationship between the variables was tested using the Pearson correlation, while the relationship and magnitude of the direct and indirect impact on the observed variables was determined using path analysis. The results showed knowledge has a very significant impact (p <0.01) and indirectly contributes to the level of antibiotic usage practices preventing the occurrence of antibiotic resistance. Attitudes have a significant effect (p <0.05) and directly affect the practice of antibiotics to prevent the use of antibiotic resistance in Kupang. Conclusion of this study shows that knowledge has a major impact on the practice of using antibiotics by pig farmers, so by increasing farmers' knowledge of the facts incidence of antibiotic resistance, the attitude of farmers will increasingly have a positive significant effect on the level of practice use of antibiotics Prevent antibiotic resistance at a pig farm in the city of Kupang.

Distribution analysis of tetracycline resistance genes in Escherichia coli isolated from floor surface and effluent of pig slaughterhouses in Banten Province, Indonesia

“…Kallau et al . [ 4 ] showed that antibiotics are mostly used in pig farms for medication (55.21%), disease prevention (42.71%), and enhanced production (2.08%). Antibiotics of tetracycline class (oxytetracycline and tetracycline) are frequently used in pig farms [ 4 , 65 , 66 ].…”

“…The high rate of prevalence and the variety of the tet genes detected in either floor surface samples or effluent samples from the 10 pig slaughterhouses in Banten Province indicated the occurrence of pig-to-environment transmission due to the overuse and uncontrolled application of tetracycline antibiotics in pig farms. Kallau et al [4] showed that antibiotics are mostly used in pig farms for medication (55.21%), disease prevention (42.71%), and enhanced production (2.08%). Antibiotics of tetracycline class (oxytetracycline and tetracycline) are frequently used in pig farms [4,65,66].…”

“…According to Jurnalis et al [3], tetracycline is the most common antibiotic class available in public healthcare centers. Kallau et al [4] and Detha et al [5] reported that tetracycline is the common antibiotic used to treat pigs in Indonesia. Some studies have shown that bacterial species resist tetracycline through their tet genes [6,7].…”
