Dampak Pemberian Levamisol Hidroklorida Terhadap Titer Antibodi Pasca Vaksinasi Virus Avian Influenza Pada Ayam Petelur

Levamisole has been reported can enhance immune response of animals against disease (immunomodulator).Giving levamisole before vaccination Avian Influenza (AI) virus is expected to increase antibody level (humoral immune response) against the disease. These experiments use an experimental method with a completely randomized design.A total of 105 laying chickens were divided into three groups: group one were AI vaccinated without given levamisole hydrochloride; group two were given levamisole hydrochloride 3 days respectively before AI vaccination and group three were given levamisole hydrochloride 7 days respectively before AI vaccination. Levamisole hydrochloride 1mg/50g given at a dose of body weight, orraly through drinking water. Blood sample to measure levels of antibodies that was repeated 3 times ie on day 21, 59, and 80 days. The results showed imunododulator levamisole hydrochloride giving 3 (three) or 7 (seven) days respectively pre Avian Influenza virus vaccination of laying hens did not increase antibody level (humoral immune response).

Helminthiasis Saluran Cerna Pada Sapi Perah

The purpose of this research was to find out prevalence and the rates of helminthsinfection and the kind of the helmints on dairy cows that was belonging KUBE MajuMapan Cooperative in Jabung, Malang. A total of 123 dairy cows on farms wasinvestigated for the possibility of a worm infection. Indications of worm infectionswas based on faecal worm egg discovery using floating method using saturated saltsolution for nematode and cestode worms and sedimentation methods for theexamination of worms trematodes. Examination of the number of worm\u27s eggs useWhit lock chambers tool. Stool examination was done in the Laboratory of AnimalHealth belong to the Department of Animal Husbandry East Java Province in thedistrict of Pakis Malang. The sample examination was done in 3 (three) timesrepetition.The results showed there are 2 (two) types of worm eggs, nematodetype Strongyloid sp and Trematodes type Fasciola sp. The prevalence ofStrongyloid infection in cattle is large enough that is equal to 33.33 percent (41of 123 dairy cows). While the prevalence of the infected cattle Fasciola sp only23.58 percent (29 of 123 dairy cows). The rate of infection or mean number ofeggs per gram of feces of Strongyloid and Fasciola sp are only 2.43 and 1.88 per head of cattle. The efforts for worm medication regularly conducted by theCooperative has been able to reduce the prevalence of the disease and the ratesof infectio

Effect of Different Dosage Infection Ascaridia Galli and Piperazine Treatment on Total Worm and Layers\u27 Body Weight

The aim of this research was to study effect of different dosage Infection Ascaridia galli (A. galli) and anthelmintic piperazine treatment to total worm and layers\u27 body weight. The research was based on Randomized Completely Design with Factorial (3x2) pattern. The first factor was A. galli infected dosage (0, 200x 4 and 2000x 4 infective eggs) and the second was anthelmintic treatments (without and with piperazine treatment). The result showed that until 6 weeks after infection, only larvae were found in chicks, the adult and egg worms were not found. The infection dosages and piperazine treatment influenced the larvae total. Larvae total in light and heavy dose infection that had piperazine treatment lower than group without piperazine. The infection dosages and piperazine treatment influenced body weight two and four weeks after the anthelmintic treatment. Body weight in group with heavy dose infection after two and four weeks had piperazine treatment were higher than group that had heavy dose infection but without the anthelmintic medication. Body weight in group with light and heavy dose infection after four weeks had piperazine treatment were not difference with group without infection. The piperazine effication to larvae only reached 69% (ineffective) in light dose and 85% (moderate effective) in high dose infection. (Animal Production 11(3): 176-182 (2009

Effect of Ascaridia galli infection on histopathologic description, size of small intestines villi surface and body weight change in starters

Nematode Ascaridia galli is an important parasitic disease in poultry and is responsible for considerable economic losses in retarded growth and lowered egg production. The effects of A. galli infection based on histopathologic description, size of small intestines villi surface and body weight change in starters was investigated. One hundred and thirty five day old chicks (DOC) were divided into three groups for three levels of infection dose rate (0,800 and 8000 infective eggs) with 3 replications of 45 DOC each. Infections were carried out every week respectively from week 2th until week 5th. Results showed that the infection of A. galli caused degeneration and necroses in villi ephitelial cells and crypts of small intestine and infiltration of leucocytes. In the heavy infection group some epithelial cells were replaced by fibrocytes. A.  galli infection decreased daily body weight gain of starter lower (5.5% in light and 13.4% in heavy dosage infection) compared to that of the non infected group. After six weeks of heavy infection the size of small intestine villi surface was decreasing to 20.0%, while the daily body weight gain was decreasing to 12.3% compared to that of the non infection group.

Response of Chicken that Having Experience Infection of Ascaridia galli to Re-infection and it’s Implication to Productivity and Quality of Eggs

The aimed of this research was to find out the effect of infection experience of Ascaridia galli on productivity and eggs qualities. The research was held in Helminthology Laboratory, Veterinary Faculty and Animal Production Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Bogor Institute of Agriculture. The research was based on a Randomized Completely Design. The treatments were P0 = without infection ; P1 = have been infected with 200 infective eggs A. galli every chick every week ( 8, 15, 22 and 30 days old chick) and re-infected with 500 infected eggs at 18 weeks old; P2= chicks with no infection experience at starter period, and infected with 500 infected eggs at laying period. The productivity and quality of eggs were examined. The results showed that infection experience of Ascaridia galli influenced the layer productivity and their eggs qualities. The experience of A. galli infection several times with light dosage at starter period (P1) made the layers more resistance to re-infection by the parasite in the laying period. Consumption and conversion of feed, eggs weight, shell thickness and calcium concentration of P1 was not significant difference with control group (P0). First A. galli infection in layer period in group without experience of A. galli infection before (P2), have showed that, compare with the control group (P0), the feed conversion of P2 was 15.78% higher (P<0.01), eggs weight of P2 was lighter 5.35% (P<0.05), the shell thickness of P2 eggs was lower 5.55% (P<0.05), the calcium concentration in serum was lower 36.26% (P<0.05). Beside that the color of eggs yolk in infected (P1 and P2) group more colorless (11.63%) than control group. A. galli (P<0.01). Ascaridia galli infection has no effects on Haugh Unit Value, titer serum protein and eggs protein.
