“…Etawah crossbreed goats (PE) are the result of a cross between Etawah goats and local Indonesian goats is considered to be dual purpose (meat and milk). Farmer interest in raising PE goats for milk production without compromising their ability to produce offspring for meat has increased in several regions (Sutama, 2009). PE goats can produce milk that is high enough for tropical areas.…”

Phospholipase in buck seminal plasma will trigger a coagulation incident resulting in the demise of the spermatozoa during liquid semen processing using milk or egg yolk substrates diluent. A plasma replacement process is performed to avoid this possibility. The cryopreservation process leads to sperm cell damage due to the freezing process, therefore cryoprotectant agents such as saccharides are required as protective agents. This study aimed to investigate the effect of various types of saccharides on the quality of frozen semen of etawah crossbreed (PE) bucks during cryopreservation and thawing with plasma replacement using Priangan ram semen plasma. Semen was collected using an artificial vagina once a week. Fresh PE bucks semen centrifuged at 3,000 RPM for 30 min. The supernatant (seminal plasma) was removed and replaced in equal volume with Priangan ram seminal plasma. Semen was divided into four treatments: goat semen with sheep semen plasma in Tris diluent (control); control with 0.6% dextrose added (monosaccharides); control with 0.6% sucrose added (disaccharides); control with 0.6% raffinose added (trisaccharides). Semen quality including percentages of motile spermatozoa, live spermatozoa, and intact plasma membrane (IPM) were evaluated after diluted, equilibrated, and thawing, respectively. Results of this study showed that viability and IPM of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and trisaccharides were significantly (P<0.05) higher than control (54.40 and 51.40; 55.00 and 53.60; 55.60 and 52.20 vs 48.40 and 52.20, respectively). The motility of disaccharides was significantly (P<0.05) higher compared to control and other diluent (47.00 vs 41.00, respectively). In conclusion, different types of saccharides were effective in maintaining the quality of etawah crossbreed buck frozen semen. The addition of disaccharides seems more effective compared to monosaccharides and trisaccharides in tris extender on the quality of etawah crossbreed buck frozen semen.

“…Research on nematodes to evaluate soil and environmental health in Indonesia is still limited. Nematode studies in Indonesia focus on plant-parasitic nematodes (Budiman et al, 2020;Djiwanti, 2019;Handayani et al, 2020;Kurniawati et al, 2020;Lisnawita et al, 2012;Mirsam et al, 2020;Mutala'liah et al, 2018), parasites in vertebrates (Ahmad & Tiffarent, 2020;Baihaqi et al, 2019;Khoirani et al, 2020;Sakaguchi et al, 2019), and nematode ecology (Krashevska et al, 2019). Therefore, this research needs to be carried out considering the great benefits and advantages of nematodes as bioindicators and the limited research on Pertanika J. Trop.…”

Soil biota is very diverse and contributes widely to ecosystem services that are important in the sustainable function of natural and managed ecosystems. Knowing the condition of the soil food web through the communities that inhabit it is necessary to assess the productivity of the soil. Nematode communities in the soil food web can be used as indicators because of their high abundance, and they inhabit various trophic levels, and participate in several important processes in the soil. The soil food web condition from three locations (Agr1, Agr2, Agr3) through the nematode functional index was evaluated using the maturity index (MI), the maturity index 2-5 (MI-25), the plant-parasitic index (PPI), the channel index (CI), the enrichment index (EI), the structure index (SI), and the basal index (BI). Nematode diversity was evaluated using Simpson’s index of diversity, dominance, and evenness. The MI and MI2-5 scores indicated that Agr3 (3.81) had an undisturbed food web, while Agr2 (2.88 and 3.0) and Agr1 (2.5 and 2.51) were in a moderate condition with minor disturbances. Fauna profile analysis using SI and EI shows that Agr3 and Agr1 had an undisturbed soil food web, and Agr2 was in enriched conditions. CI results found that Agr1 and Agr3 had a fungal decomposition pathway while Agr2 had a bacterial decomposition pathway. We concluded from this research, that prospect of the nematode community to serve as a collection of biological indicator data in assessing soil or ecosystem health can be considered in further research.

Haemonchosis is a major gastrointestinal parasitic infection in sheep caused by Haemonchus contortus. An abattoir-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January to September 2024 to assess the Haematobiochemical alterations and lesion characterization induced by Haemonchosis in sheep slaughtered at the Gondar ELFORA abattoir. The study involved 60 male local breed sheep, divided into 30 infected and 30 non-infected controls. The selection process involved postmortem examination of the abomasum tissues, incision, palpation, and visual inspection. Blood samples were taken for hematology and serum biochemical profiles, and a three cm tissue sample with typical Haemonchus contortus lesions was also taken. The study found significant reductions in hemoglobin, hematocrit, corpuscular volume, hemoglobin, and red blood cell counts in the infected group compared to the non-infected group. However, white blood cells, monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils were significantly higher in the infected group. Biochemical parameters showed significant reductions in total protein, albumin, globulin, and albumin to globulin ratio in the infected group. Erythrocyte indices indicated microcytic normochromic anemia. Gross examination revealed hemorrhages, dark brown abomasal contents, blood streaks, and a nodular lesion. Microscopic analysis revealed tissue-dwelling worms, submucosal hemorrhage, mucosal gland hyperplasia, thickened muscularis, and hyperplastic abomasal glands. The alterations in haematobiochemical parameters support the findings from gross and microscopic lesions. Thus, integrating haematobiochemical analysis with gross and microscopic lesion characterization improves the diagnosis of haemonchosis. Due to hypoproteinemia observed, it is advisable to supplement helminth-infected animals with protein-rich feeds, such as legumes.
