Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most dangerous type of aflatoxin that can impair poultry productivity even in low concentrations. The harmful effects of AFB1 should be minimized. The present study was conducted to evaluate the performance, nutrient digestibility, AFB1 residue, and histopathological changes of broilers fed AFB1 diets supplemented with mycosorb. Two hundred-forty 1-day old broiler chicks were allocated randomly to 24 pens (10 birds/pen). The experimental design was a 4 x 2 factorial arrangement, with AFB1 level and yeast glucomannan (mycosorb) supplementation as the main factors.  The treatment diets were control diet; control diet + mycosorb; AFB1 diets (10.36 ppb); AFB1 diets (10.36 ppb) + mycosorb; AFB1 diets (26.97 ppb); AFB1 diets (26.97 ppb) + mycosorb; AFB1 diets (61.06 ppb); AFB1 diets (61.06 ppb) + mycosorb. The results showed that there was no interaction effect was found between the level of AFB1 and mycosorb on the performance and nutrient digestibility. The level of AFB1 did not affect dry matter digestibility coefficient but affected (p<0.05) crude fat digestibility coefficient of broilers. Except for proventriculus, level of AFB1 did not affect bird’s gut size. AFB1 residue was not detected in the broiler tissues fed all diets. Mycosorb alone ameliorated (p<0.05) feed conversion ratio (FCR) of growing birds. The birds fed 61.06 ppb AFB1 diets had darker liver than those fed similar diets added with mycosorb. The addition of mycosorb in AFB1 diets did not heal the hemorrhagic intestines of the birds. In conclusion, feeding low level of AFB1 diets added with mycosorb did not improve the bird’s performance, nutrient digestibility, or gut health. Mycosorb alone improved feed efficiency of the experimental birds.

yang menginfeksi sapi yakni; Septicemia epizootica dan thelaziasis. Faktor yang mendukung adalah kurangnya pengetahuan peternak tentang manajemen kesehatan ternak seperti vaksinasi, sanitasi kandang, rotasi padang penggembalaan, pengolahan kotoran menjadi pupuk organik, pengendalian vektor lalat. Target luaran yang dicapai: tersedianya tenaga terampil minimal 50% dari jumlah total anggota kelompok melayani vaksinasi, pembuatan ekstrak nimba dan daun sirih, pembuatan pupuk organik. Berdasarkan pengamatan dan informasi yang diperoleh dari masyarakat bahwa sejak vaksinasi SE oleh vaksinator dimulai sampai Desember 2015 tidak ditemukan kasus klinis SE dan menghasilkan 7 orang vaksinator, berkurangnya jumlah populasi lalat kandang melalui perbaikan sanitasi kandang, rotasi penggembalaan, tersedianya ekstrak nimba 11 L dan ekstrak daun sirih, kandang demplot, pupuk bokasi. Tenaga terampil sebanyak 6 orang membuat ekstrak daun nimba, 10 orang membuat rebusan daun sirih, dan 4 orang tenaga terampil membuat pupuk bokasi. Kejadian thelaziasis berkurang secara gradual setelah penggunaan rebusan daun sirih dikedua kelompok.

Ternak babi merupakan salah satu jenis ternak yang paling banyak dipelihara masyarakat di Kabupaten Kupang dalam menunjang kegiatan ekonomi mereka termasuk untuk kebutuhan sehari-hari dan juga kebutuhan biaya sekolah serta untuk acara keagamaan dan adat istiadat setempat. Pemeliharaan ternak babi oleh masyarakat masih bersifat tradisional tanpa manajemen kesehatan yang baik. Politani Negeri Kupang melalui Jurusan Peternakan dengan Program Studi Kesehatan Hewan yang dimilikinya melakukan pengabdian masyarakat untuk memperkenalkan manajemen kesehatan pada kelompok tani dengan pendekatan pola kemitraan. Model pendekatan ini telah berjalan selama 2 tahun dan memungkinkan masyarakat mendapat pengetahuan, ketrampilan dan praktek beternak secara benar, dimana program ini didesain dengan pola pendampingan dan penyuluhan serta pelayanan kesehatan hewan milik anggota mitra. Hasil pra survey dan survey didapatkan beberapa permasalahan yang dialami masyarakat kelompok binaan dalam hal tata laksana kesehatan hewan yang berhubungan dengan sanitasi kandang, kondisi tubuh ternak yang kurang baik karena menderita cacingan dan anemia, dan juga adanya penyakit-penyakit yang diderita oleh ternak termasuk didalamnya mencret putih (white scours), scabies dan hernia.Pemecahan masalah dengan cara penyuluhan yang dilakukan di kelompok tani binaan, pelayanan kesehatan untuk ternak-ternak yang menderita sakit dan penyakit serta pendampingan yang disediakan oleh Jurusan Peternakan Politani Kupang. Pada pelaksanaannya sebanyak 100 ekor ternak babi mendapatkan pelayanan kesehatan termasuk pemberian multivitamin dan mineral, obat cacing (antiparasit-endo dan ekto parasit), anti lalat, zat besi, dan antibiotik. Kata Kunci: manajemen kesehatan, babi, kelompok tani, Kabupaten Kupang, pengabdian masyarakat.

Herbal medicine has been used an empirical prevention and treatment of diseases in livestock. Herbal medicine contains several active compounds that can act as antimicobials, anthelmintics, antifungals, immunostimulant, and growth promoter. The herbs that are widely used are turmeric, ginger, curcuma, and garlic as the basic ingredients of herbal medicine. The aim is to examine the phytochemical content in herbal medicine. Based on phytochemical screening test unfermented herbs containing positive Flavonoid compounds (+), negative Saponins (-), nagative Triterpenoids (-), Positive Alkaloids (+++), and positive tannins (+++). And fermented contains negative Flavonoids (-), positive Saponins (++), negative Triterpenoids (-), positive Alkaloids (+++), and negative tannins (-).

The intake of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) can lead to poor productivity and diseases in birds. Thus, it is important to minimize the toxic effects of AFB1. The objective of this study was to evaluate the carcass yield and haematological profile of broilers fed diets containing AFB1 added with Mycosorb. A total of 240-day old broiler chicks were randomly distributed to 24 pens (10 birds/pen). The experiment was designed using a 4 x 2 factorial arrangement with two different factors, namely aflatoxin level and Mycosorb. The treatments were control diets, control diets added with Mycosorb, diets containing 10.36 ppb AFB1, diets containing 10.36 ppb AFB1 added with Mycosorb, diets containing 26.97 ppb AFB1, diets containing 26.97 ppb AFB1 added with Mycosorb, diets containing 61.06 ppb AFB1, diets containing 61.06 ppb AFB1 added with Mycosorb. There was an interaction (p<0.05 to 0.01) between AFB1 level and Mycosorb on the white blood cells (WBC) and litter/excreta score (LES), but not (p>0.05) in tcarcass traits (CT), lymphoid organ weight (LOW), and haematological profile (HP) of broilers. Level of AFB1 did not affect (p>0.05) all CT, LOW, and HP, but it affected (p<0.001) the LES. Mycosorb did not improve (p>0.05) CT, LOW and HP of broilers. In conclusions, 1) dietary Mycosorb in afla-treated diets improved litter quality and reduced white blood cell counts of broilers; 2) the AFB1 level up to 61.06 ppb did not impair carcass yield, lymphoid organ weights and other haematological index of broilers.
