This study was the first to combine the addition of antioxidants to a skim milk–egg yolk (SM–EY) extender and different equilibration periods to obtain higher quality post-thawed Kacang buck semen. This study aimed to determine the effects of green tea extract (GTE) on the quality of frozen Kacang goat sperm equilibrated for one and two hours. The pool of Kacang buck ejaculate was equally divided into four portions and was diluted in an SM–EY extender that contained four doses of 0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mg of GTE/100 mL for T0, T1, T2, and T3 groups, respectively. The aliquots were treated for an equilibration period of 1–2 h before further processing as frozen semen. Post-thawed semen quality was evaluated for sperm quality. The Sanger method was used for DNA sequencing, and the amino acid sequence was read using MEGA v.7.0. The post-thawed semen of the T2 group that was equilibrated for one hour had the highest semen quality. Pre-freezing motility had the highest determination coefficient compared to post-thawed sperm motility. This study is the first to report amino acid mutation due to freeze–thawing. The frequency of amino acid mutations revealed that T2 was the least mutated amino acid. Glycine, valine, leucine, serine, and asparagine strongly correlated to post-thawed sperm motility. It can be concluded that a combination of 0.1 mg GTE/100 mL extender as an antioxidant and one-hour equilibration period resulted in the best post-thawed Kacang buck semen quality.
The study aimed to determine the addition of green tea extract (GTE) in extender on the quality and DNA mutation of post-thawed Kacang buck sperm. The sperm DNA mutation was observed on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride (NADH) dehydrogenase 1 (ND1) of mitochondrial Deoxyribonucleic Acid (mtDNA). A pool of 12 Kacang buck ejaculates was diluted in skim milk-egg yolk extender contained 0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 mg of GTE/100 mL for T0, T1, T2, and T3 group, respectively. Each of the aliquot groups was packaged in 0.25 mL French mini straw contained 60 million alive sperm and froze according to the protocol. The ND1 mtDNA amplification of samples was carried out Polymerase Chain Reaction machine, followed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method. Meanwhile, the phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining (NJ) method with MEGA 7.0 software. The results showed that the T2 group maintained the highest quality for Kacang buck post-thawed semen. There was the highest percentages of sperms viability, motility, intact plasma membrane (IPM), the lowest of malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), the total and types of ND1 mtDNA mutation frequency. The phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the clade of the T2 group was most closely related to the sequence reference. However, there was no correlation between the semen quality parameters (sperm viability, motility, IPM, MDA concentration, and SDF) with ND1 mtDNA mutation of post-thawed Kacang buck semen. It could be concluded that GTE was useful as an antioxidant for Kacang buck semen extender for frozen sperm.
Subclinical mastitis is the occurrence of inflammation in the parenchymal tissue of mammaryglands due to bacterial contamination that does not show clinical symptoms lead to impacted oneconomic losses. The highest incidence of subclinical mastitis is the presence of Staphylococcusaureus bacteria contamination. Subclinical mastitis in Indonesia is reported to reduce milk productionby up to 53.5%. Pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus occurs in the presence of biofilm formation asbacterial immune system to protecting itself from disinfectants and antibiotics. In the last few decades,the development of plasma technology has been widely used in the medical field as cancer therapy,reducing pain, accelerating wound healing and tissue sterilization. There is no study that using theconcept of utilizing Non Termal Plasma in the field of veterinary science, especially in mastitistherapy. Non Termal Plasma is able to decontaminate Staphylococcus aureus through inhibition anddestruction of biofilms. The mechanism of action of Non Termal Plasma in repairing mammary glandtissue is through the destruction of DNA in the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) process by increasingthe growth factor TGF-1 which accelerates the process normal cell regeneration. The objective ofthis study is to reviewing the efficacy of plasma non termal as subclinical mastitis theraphy. This studywas conducted through a narrative review approach by collecting international and nationalliterature with interval time of publication within 2010 – 2020.
| Enteritis is an inflammatory reaction as a form of the body's response to the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms in the intestine. However, excessive formation of Nitric Oxide (NO) by inducible Nitrite Oxide Synthase (iNOS) during inflammation processes can trigger cellular toxicity and widespread intestinal tissue damage. Curcuma longa extract contains active compounds, such as curcumin, tannin, alkaloids, flavonoids, and has the potential as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-toxicity, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and anticoagulant. This study aimed to investigate the interactions of curcuminoid active compounds in Curcuma rhizome extract on iNOS compared to diclofenac sodium (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) through computational analysis to explore the potential of Curcuma as a herbal therapy candidate for poultry enteritis. Preparing the three-dimensional structure of iNOS, sodium diclofenac, and curcuminoid active compounds contained in Curcuma extract was the initial step of this study, followed by molecular docking analysis. The results of all molecule interactions were then visualized through Pymol and analyzed by Discovery Studio Visualizer software. The docking visualization results showed that the amino acid residues from iNOS that had the most interactions with ligands were His (421), LYS (261), Trp (203). Molecular docking results of the four active compounds showed that Bisdemethoxycurcumin had the lowest free energy (ΔG) value (-8.00 kcal/mol). The stable conformation location of two ligands (bisdemethoxycurcumin and curcumin) differs from sodium diclofenac, so the type of activity can be said to be a non-competitive inhibition. These results indicated that bisdemethoxycurcumin and curcumin have the potential as anti-inflammatory agents.
