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.
Background: Myiasis is a disease caused by an infestation of fly larvae (Chrysomya bezziana) in living tissue. Myiasis cases are common in Indonesia because of the tropical climate. Purpose: This case report is intended to provide information on handling myiasis in goats. Case Analysis: A 2-year-old female goat weighing 30 kg was reported by the farmer because there was a wound in the leg. The goat was examined physically and hematologically. On physical examination, there was a limp on the left front leg caused by an injury with the larvae. Haematological examination results showed leukocytosis with leukocyte count of 13.26 x 103 cells/μL, monocytosis with monocyte counts of 0.63 x 103 cells/μL and anemia with erythrocyte counts of 2.93 x 106 cells/μL. The goat was diagnosed with myiasis and treated by eliminating fly larvae, irrigating the injured part by procaine penicillin and dihydrostreptomycin, spraying the wound using 1% dichlofenthion and intramuscular injection of 20 mg/kg body weight long-acting oxytetracycline and 1 mg/kg body weight diphenhydramine HCl. Conclusion: Three days after treatment, the wound condition has improved.
Latar Belakang: Selenium (Se) adalah unsur yang umum terdapat di alam. Selenium ditemukan di dalam tanah dan diserap oleh tanaman pada tingkat yang berbeda-beda tergantung pada spesies tanaman, penggunaan pupuk, dan curah hujan, sedangkan vitamin E banyak terdapat pada tanaman leguminosa dan rumput segar. Selenium dan vitamin E merupakan elemen penting bagi ternak ruminansia dan diperlukan untuk untuk pertumbuhan normal dan membantu mencegah gangguan kesehatan lain. Peran kedua unsur tersebut memiliki kaitan yang erat karena mampu melindungi sel dari efek oksidasi yang merugikan meskipun memiliki mekanisme dengan cara yang berbeda. Kekurangan salah satu atau kedua unsur tersebut dapat menyebabkan penyakit white muscle disease, retensi plasenta, metritis, penurunan fungsi kekebalan tubuh, dan mastitis. Meskipun demikian, hasil penelitian maupun studi lapangan juga menunjukkan bahwa Se dan vitamin E dapat menimbulkan keracunan pada ruminansia. Reviews : Tulisan ini akan mengulas secara singkat dampak defisiensi dan toksisitas Se Vitamin E pada ruminansia.
Research of interest marine algae and seagrasses have been renewed, because they are considered to be promising resources of functional ingredients in the development of novel products. Fucoidans are a class of fucose-rich sulfated carbohydrates found in brown marine algae and echinoderms, and more recently identified in seagrasses. Chemical compositions of most fucoidans are complex, mainly being composed of fucose and sulfate. They also contain other monosaccharides like mannose, galactose, glucose, xylose and uronic acids, even acetyl groups and protein and it’s have potential therapeutic properties, including anti-viral activity. Currently, fucoidans are available for use in therapeutic and dietary supplements for inclusion in pet, livestock and aquaculture feed supplements. This review summarizes experimental evidence indicating that Fucoidan can improve the quality of feed ingredients for livestock, pets and aquaculture to improve health.

The poor quality crop residues constitute the bulk of dry matter consumed by the ruminants. Like in most developing countries, including in Indonesia, feed shortage is the main constraint to their productivity. During the hot and dry seasons, the available feed resources are not enough in energy and digestion proteins, which are insufficient to maintenance requirements and reducing productivity throughout the year. The use of conventional feedstuffs such as rice brand, pollard, soybean cake, and groundnut cake to enhance production has become inappropriate. These supplements are in short supply owing to increasing demand from agricultural and industrial users. Their exorbitant prices and erratic supply made them too expensive for small-scale farmers to incorporate them into ruminant feeding. Urea Molasses Multinutrient Block (UMMB) is a convenient and inexpensive method of providing a range of nutrients to ruminants. Giving UMMB can improve low-quality feed digestion so in general can improve the performance of livestock such as milk production, weight, BCS and reproductive status. This article aims to evaluation the benefits of a UMMB for feed ruminants.
Dermatophytosis in dogs can be caused by one species of dermatophytes group called Microsporumcanis. This study aims to isolation and identification of M. canis in dogs suspected dermatophytosis inYogyakarta. Skin scrapings from 50 dogs that clinically showed lesions such as combination of alopecia,erythema, papules, pustules, scaly and crusty used in this study. Samples of skin scraping were culturedin the Sabouraud’s dextrose agar media for fungi identification macroscopically and microscopically. Theresults showed that 17 of 50 samples (34%) grown on SDA medium from 2 to 18 days after cultivation. Thecolony grew with flat topography and slightly reflexed, the surface of the colony looks like a thick fur, whitein the middle and surrounded by brownish yellow color and the edges were colorless. The opposite surfaceof the colony looks flat and slightly reflexed and orange to brown and the edges were colorless. Observationmicroscopically, the fungi showed a large macroconidia with a thick cell wall and contains 6-12 cells andoval microconidia with a small size and found in few along the hyphae. Based on the research it can beconcluded that 17 of 50 (34%) samples of dogs with dermatophytosis are Microsporum canis.
<p class="Abstract">An experiment was
conducted to evaluate the effects supplementation of urea-molasse multinutrient
block (UMMB) on the weight gain of heifers <i>peranakan</i>
<i>ongole</i> beef cattle based diets with
rice straw. Urea molasse multinutrient block were made with different
formulations (A and B). A total of 15 heifers <i>Peranakan Ongole</i> beef cattle were divided into 3 groups. Control
group animals were daily fed rice straw as a basal diet without UMMB, group A
were daily fed rice straw as a basal diet with UMMB (A), group B were daily fed
rice straw as a basal diet with UMMB (B) respectively. Weight gain were
measured with Lambourne method weekly. Data on the feeding trial were collected
during 4 wk, and were subjected to the Paired T-test analysis of variance
(ANOVA). The results of this experiment showed that the UMMB supplementation
had no significantly influenced of weight gain average (P > 0.05).
With regard to the weight gain average of heifers, the group A showed a highest
(9.52 kg), group B (9.38 kg) and control group (6.98 kg), respectively. Based on statistical
analyses, it can be concluded that supplementation of UMMB had no effects on
average weight gain in this study. <o:p></o:p></p>
