Semen samples were divided into two treatment groups, each consisting of five semen straws (0.25 ml), which were cryopreserved using a Tris aminomethane egg yolk or Trico egg yolk extender. Post-thaw evaluations included sperm motility, viability, abnormality, membrane and acrosome integrity, capacitation status, DNA fragmentation, sperm kinematics, and bacterial load. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and bacterial content was analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the Tris aminomethane extender significantly enhanced several sperm quality parameters post-thawing compared to Trico egg yolk. Specifically, Tris aminomethane significantly improved intact acrosome (70.36%) and increased the percentage of non-capacitated spermatozoa (67.92%) Furthermore, significantly higher values were observed in parameters related to sperm kinematics, including Distance Average Path (DAP, 33.38%), Distance Curvilinear (DCL, 62.22%), Velocity Average Path (VAP, 84.31%), and Curvilinear Velocity (VCL, 155.06%). Meanwhile, trico egg yolk extender caused significantly higher values in sperm straightness (STR, 84.02%), linearity (LIN, 56.22%), and wobble (WOB, 65.40%). Other parameters, including viability, abnormality, total motile sperm, DNA fragmentation, sperm kinematic parameters (motility, progressive motility, straight-line distance, linear velocity, lateral head amplitude, and beat cross frequency) did not differ significantly between the two extenders. Meanwhile, the bacterial of E. coli and Mycoplasma was higher in the trico extender, while Staphylococcus was more prevalent in tris aminomethane extender. These findings indicate that both extenders can maintain the quality of frozen semen. The results of this study show that Trico egg yolk extender is a promising and cost-effective alternative, with comparable performance in several sperm quality, but the effectiveness of bacterial inhibition needs to be re-evaluated in terms of the dosage of antibiotics used.

The method used is a case study. The study was conducted at the Malang City Slaughterhouse. The total livestock sample was grouped by puberty and prepubertal age. Results showed that the slaughter rate of male goats reached about 15%, and that of females reached 85%. The slaughter rate of goat aged less than 1 year (prepubertal) is 28,91%. While the livestock puberty rate with an age range of 1 - 1,5 years is about 23%, 1.5 - 2,5 years old is 13%, 2,5 - 3,5 years old is 14 % and 3,5 - 4 years old is 21%. Ovarian reproductive organ waste has the potential to provide oocytes that can be used for research and conservation of genetic material by freezing cells in liquid nitrogen (LN2). Prepubertal ovaries are not feasible for oocyte maturation culture, while pubertal ovaries can isolate oocytes for in vitro culture and frozen storage for conservation. The conclusion is that female goat slaughter at Malang slaughterhouse is dominated by female goats, reaching about 85%. The highest goat slaughter rate aged less than 1 year reached 28%. It is suggested to reduce the number of slaughtered does, and further research is needed on the level of productive does slaughtered.

The Protective Effects of Astaxanthin Supplementation in Tris- Aminomethane on the Sperm Quality of Merino Ram During Cold Storage Amelia Nanda Vidyaningrum1, Elok Putri Agustina1, Asrullah As1, Wike Andre Septian1, Rafika Febriani Putri1, Chairdin Dwi Nugraha2, Ari Ardiantoro1, Achadiah Rachmawati1, and Suyadi Suyadi1 1Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Brawijaya, Jl. Veteran, Malang 65145, Indonesia 2Research Center for Animal Husbandry, National Research and Innovation Agency Republic of Indonesia (BRIN), Bogor 16911, Indonesia Abstract Ram spermatozoa are particularly susceptible to lipid peroxidation induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) during cold storage. Astaxanthin a potent carotenoid antioxidant, is known for its ability to neutralize free radicals and protect sperm cells from oxidative stress. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of astaxanthin supplementation in a Tris-aminomethane egg yolk extender on the semen quality of Merino ram during cold storage. Fresh semen was collected from a healthy, sexually mature Merino ram housed in a colony system at the Sumber Sekar Field Laboratory using an artificial vagina. Only ejaculates with individual motility &#8805-70%, viability &#8805-70%, abnormal morphology <10%, and membrane integrity &#8805-70% were selected. Semen samples were diluted using Tris-aminomethane egg yolk extender and divided into four treatment groups supplemented with astaxanthin (1 &#956-M, 2 &#956-M, 3.5 &#956-M, and 4.5 &#956-M). The diluted semen samples were cooled gradually and preserved at 5&#730-C for three days. Sperms in chilled diluted semen samples were assesment for motility, viability, abnormality and plasma membrane integrity every 24 h for three days (72 h). A completely randomized design with eight replicates per treatment was applied. The results showed that spermatozoa remained viable and potentially fertilizing up to 72 hours of storage, as indicated by motility rates above 40% in all groups. Supplementation with 3.5 &#956-M astaxanthin significantly improved (P<0.05) motility, viability, reduced abnormal morphology, and maintained plasma membrane integrity. In conclusion, although all astaxanthin doses positively affected semen quality, supplementation at 3.5 &#956-M demonstrated the most consistent biological response in preserving sperm quality during 72 hours of cold storage.

Morphometric Analysis and Breeding Selection Potential of Tropical Swamp and River Buffalo in Indonesia Wari1, V.M.A. Nurgiartiningsih1, and I. Novianti1* 1Faculty of Animal Science, Brawijaya University, Malang 65145, Indonesia *wariwaridoang[at]student.ub.ac.id Abstract Buffalo are an important contributor to meat production in Indonesia, yet their population has been declining, requiring structured selection and breeding strategies. This study analyzed morphometric traits of swamp and river buffalo from Bahal Batu, Rondaman Palas, and Silangit, considering the effects of sex, age, season of birth, and breeding region. Statistical analyses included ANOVA, t-tests, and principal component analysis (PCA). Results showed that age significantly influenced body weight (F = 34.25, p < 0.001), body length (F = 18.72, p < 0.001), chest girth (F = 12.14, p < 0.01), and withers height (F = 9.65, p < 0.01). Sex differences were also significant, with males outperforming females in body weight (5.39 vs 5.16- p = 0.016), chest girth (5.01 vs 4.93- p = 0.008), and withers height (113.4 vs 107.4 cm- p = 0.013). Season of birth and breeding region contributed to variation (p < 0.05), with wet-season-born and Silangit buffalo showing superior growth. PCA revealed two principal components explaining 85% of variation, mainly associated with body weight and chest girth (PC1) and body length and withers height (PC2). These results highlight the importance of morphometric evaluation combined with fixed-effect analysis to strengthen breeding selection and improve buffalo productivity in tropical regions.

The Implementation of SMS Gateaway System in Improving Dairy Cattle Recording Sucik Maylinda1), Hari Dwi Utami1), Raden Arief Setyawan2), Sarwono3) 1) Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Brawijaya 2) Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Brawijaya 3) Faculty of Administrative Science, Universitas Brawijaya Abstract Dairy farming in Indonesia it is very difficult to find Production and Reproduction Recording. Recording is an important element in animal husbandry in developed countries, in which case the main activity is (1) measurement (in the measuring volume or weighing body weight). (2) measuring milk production (3) recording the date of the cow^s mating month, (4) ) measures other performances besides milk production such as birth weight, cow weight, one year weight, body weight gain. The measured performance is collected in an activity called a recording activity. Recording activities include three stages, namely: A. Data collection through measuring data in the field by weighing, measuring milk volume, measuring growth data and body measurements such as chest circumference, height, body length. Input data into a data tabulation. C. Input can be continued to a data analysis program. All of these stages can be done offline and online. In the current millennial era, almost all activities can be done online, including recording programs. This includes implementing the SMS GATEWAY Recording system. The SMS GATEWAY Recording System is a dairy cattle production recording system that combines data collection, data tabulation with data sending via SMS and sent to a data center and connected to data analysis software.

Morphometric Characterization of Cross Texel, DEG, and Dorper Sheep Using Principal Component Analysis Muhammad Pramujo1, Luqman Hakim1, Sucik Maylinda1* 1Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang 65145, Indonesia Abstract The objective of this study was to identify the dominant morphometric traits that characterize Cross Texel, Fat Tail Sheep (DEG), and Dorper Full Blood ewes aged 24 months using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The research method applied was field observation. The material consisted of 85 ewes, including Cross Texel (34 heads), DEG (31 heads), and Dorper Full Blood (20 heads). The observed variables were chest circumference (LD), body height (TB), body length (PB), and body weight (BB). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and PCA. Correlation analysis showed a strong positive relationship among traits in Cross Texel and DEG, with the highest correlation between BB and LD in DEG (0.835). PCA results indicated that Cross Texel and DEG populations were mainly explained by a single principal component, which accounted for 66.59% and 81.91% of the total variance, respectively. This component was dominated by BB (0.951 in DEG) and LD (0.826 in Cross Texel), suggesting that overall body size was the primary differentiating factor. In Dorper Full Blood, two principal components explained 85.74% of the total variance. PC1 (56.16%) was associated with LD (0.929) and BB (0.918), whereas PC2 (29.57%) was primarily influenced by PB (0.946), indicating variation in body proportion. These findings demonstrate that body weight and chest circumference are the main indicators of size in Cross Texel and DEG, while Dorper exhibits more complex variability involving both body mass and length.

(3)Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Animal Science, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, 90245, Indonesia *hasbi_fapetunhas[at]yahoo.com Abstract Polled Bali cattle are a variant of Bali bull characterized by the natural absence of horn growth. In artificial insemination programs, Andromed is a commonly used commercial semen diluent- however, limited studies have evaluated its performance compared to other diluents containing lecithin based components. This study aimed to assess the semen quality of polled Bali bull using three commercial diluents: Andromed, Steridyl, and Bovifree. The research was conducted at the UPT PIBPS, Livestock and Animal Health Service of South Sulawesi Province, and the In Vitro Embryo Production Laboratory, Hasanuddin University. Semen was collected from two polled Bali bulls aged 5 and 7 years. A completely randomized design (CRD) was employed with three treatment groups and seven replications. Semen quality was evaluated based on progressive motility, viability, abnormalities, and Intact Plasma Membrane (IPM). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Duncans multiple range test. The results indicated that Andromed significantly improved sperm motility (P<0.01) compared to Steridyl and Bovifree. Viability did not differ significantly among the diluents (P>0.05). Sperm abnormalities were significantly higher in the Steridyl group (P<0.01), while Andromed showed significantly better plasma membrane integrity than Steridyl (P<0.05), but was not substantially different from Bovifree (P>0.05). In conclusion, Andromed demonstrated better performance in most semen quality parameters compared to Steridyl and Bovifree for polled Bali bulls semen cryopreservation.

Comparative Field Evaluation of Sexed and Conventional Semen in Holstein-Friesian Cows: Insights into Semen Quality, Fertility Performance, and Calf Sex Ratio Across Diverse Environments Putri Utami1, Aulia Puspita Anugra Yekti1, Anggita Dian Pramudhita1, Habib Asshidiq Syah1, Tri Agus Siswoyo2, Nurul Isnaini1 and Trinil Susilawati1* 1Department of Animal Reproduction and Breeding, Faculty of Animal Science, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang 65145, Indonesia 2Graduate Program of Biotechnology, the Center of Excellence on Crop Industrial Biotechnology (PUI-PT BioTIn), Universitas Jember, Jember 68121, Indonesia. *tsusilawati[at]ub.ac.id Abstract The use of sexed semen in dairy cattle breeding has been widely promoted to accelerate herd replacement by increasing the proportion of female calves, yet its effects on semen quality, fertility outcomes, and sex ratios under diverse environmental conditions remain insufficiently understood. This study evaluated semen quality, reproductive performance, and calf sex ratios of Holstein-Friesian cows inseminated with sexed and conventional semen across three dairy farms with different environmental conditions, involving 300 cows in total. Semen was analyzed for motility, viability, sperm concentration, abnormalities, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, and DNA fragmentation, while fertility was assessed through non-return rate, conception rate, calving rate, and calf sex ratio. Statistical analyses were conducted using independent t-tests for semen parameters and Chi-square/Fishers Exact Test for reproductive outcomes. The results showed that sexed semen maintained comparable motility to conventional semen but exhibited significantly lower viability, sperm concentration, plasma membrane integrity, and acrosome integrity (p < 0.05), whereas abnormalities, total motile sperm, and DNA fragmentation did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). Field fertility performance did not show significant differences between treatments at any location (p > 0.05), although Ngantang presented the highest trend, with conception and calving rates of up to 44%. In conclusion, sexed semen provides reproductive performance comparable to conventional semen under field conditions, despite certain reductions in quality attributes, supporting its application as a practical strategy to increase female calf production, with further long-term and multi-location studies needed to optimize outcomes under tropical dairy systems.

Significance of livestock in Maharashtrian Culture Prof. Dr. Vijaykumar Shivdas Dhole Sanjeevanee Mahavidyalaya (College), Chapoli Tq. Chakur Dist. Latur (MS) INDIA Abstract The diverse livestock in Maharashtra is not only economic wealth but also cultural heritage. The nomadic Dhangar and other communities have preserved this tradition for generations. Diverse livestock is the true identity of Maharashtra- from farmers to the nomadic communities, everyone has raised various pets according to their needs. Farmers have kept different breeds of cows, buffaloes, goats, hens, dogs, and cats. Similarly, those involved in earthwork such as laborers and potters have raised donkeys as versatile animals, while stone workers and other tribal communities are often seen with pigs. The Dhangar community can still be found migrating with their wealth in the form of sheep, goats, cows, dogs, horses, and hens. These communities have significantly contributed to preserving the indigenous livestock of Maharashtra. The tribal communities in Gadchiroli and Gondia maintain their indigenous cattle and lineage. For generations, farmers of all castes and religions are still seen maintaining local livestock, and the Brahmin community is no exception. On the other hand, the nomadic and settled livestock keepers in the state primarily rear Osmanabadi, Sangamneri, Surti and Konkani goats, as well as Dakhini and Madgyal sheep. Balu Mama^s sheep are famous, with a total of 17 flocks spread across various locations.

The Role of Administration in Animal Welfare Dr. Santram Prabhakar Mundhe Deptt. of Public Administration, Sanjeevanee Mahavidyalaya, Chapoli Tq. Chakur Dist. Latur (MS)INDIA Abstract Animal welfare refers to the ethical and practical responsibility humans have to provide for animals^ well-being. It includes protecting animals from unnecessary suffering, providing veterinary care, and ensuring that animals can express natural behaviors including food and shelter. Animals in agricultural settings, proper welfare practices contribute to better health, which in turn leads to better productivity. Stress and poor living conditions can lead to health issues, reduced lifespan, and, in some cases, the spread of disease. Administration plays very important role in taking care of these animals. The administration makes laws and rules to ensure the health, safety and welfare of animals and it is the duty of the administration to implement them and create awareness. From the present investigation it is concluded that making laws and rules is very important to prevent cruelty to animals and for their welfare. Strict implementation of laws and strict action is necessary in case of their violation. It is equally important to explain to the people the importance of animal welfare, as well as to inform them about their rights and to tell them the importance of nature conservation. The administration is responsible for the implementation of the Animals. Cases of cruelty are investigated through the Police and the Forest Department. Animal Welfare Boards are institutional mechanisms that work for the health, protection and welfare of livestock. The boards take care of the health of livestock. It includes vaccination, prevention and health check-ups. Keywords: Animal Welfare, Administration, Ethical Share Link | Plain Format | Corresponding Author (Santram Prabhakar Mundhe)

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HEMATOLOGICAL PROFILES AND Mycoplasma gallisepticum PREVALENCE IN PHILIPPINE NATIVE CHICKENS RAISED UTILIZING CPU TECHNOLOGY AND BACKYARD FREE-RANGE METHODS Allyssa Depasupil and Jaime C. Cabarles, Jr. Central Philippine Unversity Abstract Philippine Native chickens are typically raised using a free-range system in backyards. The management style is characterized by its low-input, low-output nature. To address the growing demand for native chicken, production is intensified through the strategic use of available feed resources, occasionally supplemented with commercial feed additives. Native chickens exhibit notable disease resistance and adaptability to local climatic conditions, making them more favored by local communities. However, these free-ranging habits expose them to vulnerabilities related to diseases and nutritional deficiency. In response to the identified challenges, Central Philippine University developed a technological package for raising native chickens. This innovative approach features confined housing and employs an antibiotic-free feeding management, besides the use of phytomedicines. An evaluation of this technology was conducted, focusing on the hematological profiles and the prevalence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum in native chickens. The findings revealed that 73% of the sample population of backyard chickens tested positive for M. gallisepticum infection, whereas chickens raised under CPU technology exhibited only a 6% positive rate. Both hematological and antibody test results corroborated these findings, allowing for effective disease evaluation. Notably, the free-range chickens displayed elevated Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) values compared to standard reference ranges. Hence, this technological application significantly reduced the incidence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum in native chickens, addressing a respiratory disease that leads to an alteration in erythrocyte size.

SURVIVAL RATE, FECALYSIS, HEMATOLOGICAL AND BLOOD CHEMISTRY OF PHILIPPINE NATIVE CHICKEN SUPPLEMENTED WITH ESSENTIAL OILS Jaime C. Cabarles Jr., Marielle Faye M. Cajayon, and Allyssa M. Depasupil Central Philippine University Abstract This systematic review evaluated the effects of various essential oils on the survival rate, fecalysis, hematology, and blood biochemistry of Philippine native chickens. A total of twelve experimental studies conducted by agriculture students from Central Philippine University in 2024 were included. The essential oils investigated-derived from Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Turmeric, Moringa, Hauili, Guava, Galangal, Jatropha, Lemon, Betel, Oregano, and Neem-were administered orally alongside virgin coconut oil. Across all treatments, essential oils were found to be safe, with no reported mortality or acute toxicity. Several oils, particularly Neem, Hauili, Guava, Jatropha, Lemon, and Galangal, demonstrated significant anthelmintic activity by reducing or eliminating parasitic eggs in fecal samples. Hematological analysis revealed improvements in immune response and erythropoiesis, with increased white and red blood cell parameters in many treatments. Biochemical findings showed varied responses, with Moringa and Turmeric essential oils notably improving liver function and metabolic markers, while Hauili, Galangal, and Jatropha raised potential concerns for liver and kidney stress at tested doses. Overall, the findings support the potential of plant-derived essential oils as sustainable alternatives to synthetic drugs in poultry production. Further research is recommended to refine dosage, ensure long-term safety, and evaluate economic viability for broader application in organic poultry farming.

The kit was field-tested on 20 chickens and compared with microbial culture results. The detection kit demonstrated 100% specificity and positive predictive value, indicating its ability to accurately identify true positive cases. However, it showed limited sensitivity (52.38%) and accuracy (54.55%), with a low negative predictive value (9.09%). The kit provided rapid results within 30 minutes compared to 24 hours for microbial testing and was cost-effective at 15.00 PHP per test. While the kit successfully detected subclinical infections, its performance could be improved through further optimization of antibody-antigen binding and larger-scale field testing. Integrating the rapid colorimetric test with confirmatory microbial testing is recommended for enhanced reliability in field settings. Future research should focus on adapting this technology for other poultry pathogens and assessing its economic impact on poultry farming operations.

SEROLOGICAL, WHITE BLOOD CELLS, AND RED BLOOD CELLS ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE AVIAN REOVIRUS SEROPREVALENCE IN NATIVE CHICKENS IN ILOILO PROVINCE Christel C. Biatan, Allyssa M. Depasupil, Miguel M. Casumpang, and Jaime C. Cabarles Jr. Central Philippine University Abstract Avian reovirus (ARV) is a viral infection that significantly affects large populations of chickens globally. The most notable illnesses associated with this reovirus in chickens include tenosynovitis/arthritis, immunosuppression, gastrointestinal disease, and runting-stunting syndrome. The presence of ARV can undermine the productivity of chickens and adversely influence their overall health, mobility, and mortality rates. This study investigated the serological identification, hematological analysis, and determined the seroprevalence rate of avian reovirus in native chickens from selected barangays in two municipalities characterized by high native chicken populations. Out of the 72 samples tested, 54 were identified as positive for reovirus, with 20 of these cases being asymptomatic, underscoring the importance of early diagnosis. The notably high seroprevalence rate of 75% shows an urgent need for enhanced biosecurity measures, rapid detection techniques, and comprehensive vaccination campaigns to mitigate the detrimental effects of ARV infection on chicken health and the sustainability of the local economy.

Unveiling Food Insecurity Status of Cattle Farm Household Living Adjacent to Teak Forest Region in East Java, Indonesia: A Preliminary Study Khofifa Dwi Hafsari, Priyo Sugeng Winarto*, Eko Nugroho Universita Brawijaya Abstract This preliminary study investigates the food insecurity status and livelihood strategies of cattle farming households living in the buffer zones of Bojonegoro^s teak forests, East Java, Indonesia. A total of 100 respondents were surveyed to analyze household resilience in sustaining food security under socio-economic and ecological pressures. The Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES) was employed to classify households into four categories: food secure, mildly food insecure, moderately food insecure, and severely food insecure. The results show that food security status varies across households, reflecting differences in resource access, income diversification, and coping mechanisms. Strategies adopted include diversifying livelihoods, restructuring labor roles, and engaging with local institutions to strengthen adaptive capacity. Key coping mechanisms involve storing agricultural produce for food consumption and maintaining livestock as a form of savings, which enables households to meet their food needs during periods of uncertainty. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of household-level resilience and provide insights for policy formulation and development interventions that are ecologically grounded, socially inclusive, and contextually relevant within forest livestock agriculture interface communities.
