Tinjauan Struktur Genetik Serta Tingkat Keganasan Virus Influenza H1n1

Evaluation Structure of Genetic and Virulens Influenza Virus of H1N1. Influenza of H1N1 or Mexico Flu or Pig Influenza or of Pig Flu ( Swine Influenza or Pig Flu) representing disease of acute exhalation channel (severe) caused of virus and can be catching very fast. Influenza of H1N1 resulted from by type influenza virus type A of Orthomyxoviridae family. This Virus have the character of patogen at human being, poultry, horse, and pig. Virus of Orthomyxoviridae family is particle camouflage in form of circular or domed of length, representing RNA genom enchain single by 8 segment, and also have negative polarity. Influenza of A (H1N1) represent new strain of influenza virus of A which is human being infection. Influenza of A ( H1N1) differ from other influenza virus strain which during the time often human being infection and most human being don't have impenetrability to virus. Therefore the virus can easily disseminate from human being to human being. Infection happened to through air (cough, sneezing) or direct contact with object or patient which have terkontaminasi. Infection of the virus can happened swiftly especially at young people (age 10 - 45 year). Influenza symptom of A (H1N1) is fever, cough, headache, mialgia ( muscle pain in bone), joint pain in bone, bronchitis, head cold and is sometime accompanied with diarrhoea and puking. The symptom known as by Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) or of Flu-Like syndrome because looking like symptom of flu other bronchi infection or which is often experienced of by human being. Influenza of A (H1N1) difficult differentiated with other bronchi infection or flu if only pursuant to at disease symptom

Evaluasi Kualitas Semen Beku Akibat Perbedaan Metode Lama Equilibrasi Dan Lama Penurunan Suhu Selama Prosesing Semen

The research is experiment in laboratory with using semen from 3 Priangan rams. The experiment use completely Randomized Design (CRD) of 4 x 4 Faktorial with three Priangan rams as replications. The treatment are equilibration time as first faktor with level 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, and freezing time as second faktor with level 4 minutes, 8 minutes, 12 minutes, and 16 minutes.The variable observed is sperm motility, sperm abnormality, sperm membrane intact and sperm macrodome intact after thawing. Data was analysis by Analysis of Variance and further analysis by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT).The result of experiment show that treatment between 3 hours equilibration and 12 minutes freezing time are the best significantly influence (P 0>01) with significantly (P >0,05) with significantly interaction between two factors on sperm motility, sperm membrane intact and sperm macrodome intact after thawing but there is no interaction(P<0,05) for sperm abnormality after thawing

RESPONSE OF BROILER CHICKENS FED ON DIETS CONTAINING LOW LEVEL OF AFLATOXIN (B1 AND B2) AND SUPPLEMENTED WITH MYCOTOXIN BINDER

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the growth performance and feet colour of broilers  fed on diets containing low level of aflatoxin (B1 and B2) and mycosorb. The experimental design was a 4 x 2 factorial randomized complete design consisting of two main factors which  were aflatoxin level and mycosorb. The treatments were control diets, control diets supplemented with mycosorb, diets containing 10 ppb aflatoxin, diets containing 10 ppb aflatoxin supplemented with mycosorb, diets containing 25 ppb aflatoxin, diets containing 25 ppb aflatoxin supplemented with mycosorb, diets containing 60 ppb aflatoxin, diets containing 60 ppb aflatoxin supplemented with mycosorb. The aflatoxin levels in the experimental diets obtained by substitution the proportion of corn of the control diets with aflatoxin corn. Variables measured were feed intake (FI), body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR). Except for feet colour score, the results showed that there was no interaction (P > 0.05) between aflatoxin level and mycosorb on FI, BWG and FCR of 7d- and 14 d-old-broilers. The aflatoxin level did not affect (P > 0.05) BWG, FI and FCR (7d) but it affected (P < 0.05) the FCR (14d) and feet colour of broiler. Mycosorb did not affect (P > 0.05) all parameters observed. In conclusion, except for broiler feet colour, the supplementation of aflatoxin, mycosorb and combination between aflatoxin and mycosorb in broiler diets had no effects on the growth performance of broilers during 7 and 14 day experiment. Further research is needed to evaluate the growth performance of broilers fed diets containing high level of aflatoxin

Profil Peternakan Babi di Kota Kupang dan Potensi Penularan Trichinellosis

Trichinellosis is a parasitic disease of humans caused by eating raw from domestic or game animals infected by Trichinella spp. Human trichinellosis contracted from commercial supplies of meat have been most often linked to infected pigs, wild boar, or horses. Trichinella is a nematode which has an atypical direct life cycle that does not involve stages developing outside of the host. This study was conducted to see the profile of pig farms in the city of Kupang and the potential transmission of trichinellosis. The data was derived from interview 60 farmers in 6 sub districts in city of Kupang by using a structured questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. The results of the questionnaire survey showed that many race of pig from a mixed race, the seeds come from traditional breeding. Feed rest of the home or restaurant are usually directly given to the pigs. The presence of rat in around of the cage often. All respondents were interviewed did not know or hear about trichinellosis disease which can be one cause of the spread of trichinellosis in city of Kupang
