The Combination Effect of Probiotic Prebiotic Lactic Acid Bacteria on Efficiency of Feed Usage on Broiler Chicken

This study aimed to replace antibiotics that have been used for antimicrobial activity for years with probiotics. T0: normal feed, T1: feed+probiotic L.acidophilus, T2: feed+probiotics L.casei, T3: feed+probiotics L.fermentum, T4: feed+probiotic L.plantarum, T5: feed+probiotic Pediococcus, T6: feed+mixture of probiotics. Two research stages: 1.basic feed: 23% protein (1st–3th weeks age), 2. grower-finisher feed: 21% protein (3st–5th weeks age). Result of the research: significantly different feed efficiency, the highest yield on T6, which wass provided with feeding+mixed probiotic (L.acidophilus, L.casei, L.fermentum, L.plantarum, Pediococcus)

Lysin Administration on Histiocytoma Surgical Therapy on a Cat : A Case Study

A 3 years and 5 months old, male cat weighing 4.5 kg short hair breed was presented with the history of lethargy, loss of weight, and with a mass in the inguinal region for past 7 days to Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Airlangga University, Surabaya. Based on histopatholgy, blood hematology and biochemical analysis, the mass was diagnosed as histiocytoma, which was surgically removed and treated with injection of dexamethasone, multivitamin-ATP-mineral, enrofloxaxin and tablet lysin 500mg orally. Keywords: histiocytoma, cat, lysi

Nutritional Evaluation of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Peels as a Dietary Supplement in Tropical Friesian Holstein Cross Breed Dairy Cattle

Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Peels supplementation in feed was evaluated on quality and quantity of dairy cattle production. Cassava peels were waste product of tapioca flour industry. A total of 26 lactation dairy cattle breed Friesian Holstein cross breed maintained at individual cage at farm on Kawi Mountain, Malang, East Java. It was randomly allotted to treatment and control group (13 head of cattle in each group). Treatment group were fed with cassava peels base dietary, whereas control group were fed by grass and commercial ration dietary. After a month, the quality and quantity of milk were recorded daily for a month and analyzed on automatic milk analyzer. The result showed significant changes (p<0.05) on treatment group were shown on percentage of protein (2.87%), lactose (4.40%), solid nonfat (8.49%), and total solid (12.23%). This quality of milk only needed cost of 1.15 €/head/day compared with control group which needed 2.02 €/head/day. These results indicated that cassava peels in feed can produce higher total solid and protein level of milk than control group. They also have high potential as a feed source to cut production cost; therefore, the farmer income increased slightly

Influence of age, sex, body condition score, rectal temperature, anatomical location and hair on skin pH in dogs

Background Physiological skin pH levels are well-documented in human medicine, and assessment of variations may be important in assessing the efficacy of wound healing. By contrast, physiological skin pH levels in dogs are sparsely described. Hypothesis/Objectives To determine the pH of intact skin in healthy dogs and to study the influence of different physiological factors on the pH level of canine skin. Animals Seventy-seven client-owned dogs of various breeds, age and sex. Methods and materials A prospective study was designed and the pH of intact skin was measured at the concave surface of both pinnae, and in both axillary and inguinal regions. For each location, the colour and density of the hairs also was recorded. Each dog's rectal body temperature and body condition scores also were determined. Results The skin pH in dogs 12 weeks of age, skin pH was significantly lower in the inguinal regions compared to the pinnae (P = 0.008), and female dogs had a significantly lower skin pH in the inguinal regions than male dogs (P = 0.043). Pinnae covered with light-coloured hair had a lower skin pH than those with dark-coloured hair (P = 0.04). No significant differences were found between dogs with different body condition scores, body temperatures or differences in hair density. Conclusions and clinical relevance The pH of intact healthy skin is lower in puppies of <12 weeks of age. Regional differences of body location also were seen which were variably affected by hair colour and sex. A baseline assessment of skin pH in healthy dogs is important for future studies of disease and wound healing

Management of Haemabartonellosis in a Pitbull dog

A three years old, male dog, weighing 19 kg, of Pitbull breed presented for general check up and blood test at Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Airlangga University, Surabaya. Based on chemistry blood test, complete blood count (CBC) and blood parasite test the dog was diagnosed with Haemabartonellosis due Mycoplasmahaemocanis with anaemia. It was treated with haematinics and broad-spectrum antibiotics, doxycycline. The dog was totally back to the normal condition after prolonged treatment
