The spread of FMD in cattle is prone to occur, therefore efforts are needed to prevent transmission and spread of the disease, one of which is through biosecurity management, namely sanitation and disinfection. The aim of this research is to determine the level of implementation of disinfection in cattle pens and its relationship to preventing FMD cases in cattle in Gianyar Regency, Bali. The data collection method used a questionnaire by conducting interviews with one member of each cattle breeder group consisting of simantri and non-simantri breeder groups in Gianyar Regency. The results of this study show that the level of application of disinfection in preventing FMD by cattle breeders in Gianyar Regency is classified as poor (score ≤ 60%) by 76.7% of breeders, is classified as sufficient (score 60-75%) by 23.3% of breeders, and is classified as good (score ≥ 76%) as many as 0% of breeders. Meanwhile, no relationship was found between the level of disinfectant application and the prevention of FMD cases. It was concluded that cattle breeders in Gianyar Regency had a poor level of disinfection implementation and prevention of FMD transmission had been carried out through vaccination which had an effect on reducing cases. However, implementing disinfection is also important to prevent the possibility of livestock being infected by other infectious diseases. Therefore, breeders are expected to implement biosecurity, namely continuous disinfection to prevent the possibility of infection from other diseases on the farm.","PeriodicalId":30995,"journal":{"name":"Buletin Veteriner Udayana","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140739948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ND management has so far been carried out by vaccination and improved husbandry management. ND vaccination can use active vaccines, inactive vaccines or combination vaccines. Despite vaccination, ND is still frequently reported. The aim of this study was to determine the safety of Newcastle Disease (ND) Genotype VII vaccine based on post-vaccination virus shedding. Shedding viruses leave the body of poultry through excretion, especially feces, which can cause environmental pollution. The samples used were 10 cloacal swab samples of laying hens taken for five periods and isolation of embryonated chicken eggs. The inoculated liquid on embryonated chicken eggs was harvested and HA test was conducted to check the shedding of ND vaccine virus. The results showed no shedding of the vaccine virus characterized by negative results in the HA test. These negative results indicate that the inactivated ND Genotype VII vaccine is safe for the environment, however farmers need to implement biosecurity to prevent the entry of ND into the farm.","PeriodicalId":30995,"journal":{"name":"Buletin Veteriner Udayana","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140739074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The risk factor of presence of flies and maintenance methods statistically have a significant effect on the incidence of surra, while age, gender, the presence of other animals and the farmer's knowledge about surra do not statistically have a significant effect on the incidence of surra. Thus, it is necessary to carry out surra surveillance in cattle which are the reservoirs and preventive measures are needed, especially those related to risk factors wich statistically have a significant effect on the incidence of surra.

However, the utilization of leucaena leaves as cattle feed needs to be restricted because leucaena contains an anti-nutritional substance called mimosine. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of mimosine exposure from the leucaena plant on the spleen of white rats. The research used twenty male Wistar strain white rats aged 2 months weighing 300–350 grams, with spleen tissue as the sample. The treatment was divided into four different groups, including a negative control group, a positive control group given standard mimosine, and two groups exposed to leucaena leaf simplisia at different doses for 14 days via gavage. On the 15th day, the rats were euthanized for spleen extraction to prepare histopathological slides stained with hematoxylin-eosin. The results of histopathological examination, including congestion, bleeding, and inflammation, were analyzed using non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. Oral administration of mimosine from leucaena leaf simplisia to the spleen of white rats showed histopathological changes such as congestion, bleeding, and inflammation. The Kruskal-Wallis test revealed significant changes in congestion, bleeding, and inflammation. The Mann-Whitney test between rats given mimosine from leucaena leaf simplisia at doses of 50 mg/head/day and 150 mg/head/day showed a significant effect on inflammatory histopathological changes. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that there were histopathological changes, including congestion, bleeding, and inflammation due to mimosine administration from leucaena leaf simplisia compared to controls, and there was an influence of different doses of mimosine from leucaena leaf simplisia between doses of 50 mg/head/day and 150 mg/head/day, especially on inflammatory lesions.
