Studi kasus: Penyakit FIP (feline infectious peritonitis) pada kucing domestik di UPTD Puskeswan Makassar

2024-12-14T15:07:10+00:00

Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP) is one of the infectious diseases in cats caused by the Feline Corona Virus (FCov). This disease can occur due to lack of knowledge regarding animal health, causing many health problems in cats. The purpose of this study was to determine the number of cats experiencing FIP cases, to find out how to diagnose the disease and to find out the prevention and treatment of FIP in cats. The research method used an interview method with a descriptive approach. The results of the study showed that there were 3 cases of FIP that attacked domestic cats with 2 types of FIP, namely wet FIP (effusive) and dry FIP (non-effusive). Diagnosis of the disease is based on the clinical symptoms that appear, medical history, physical examination and ultrasound examination. Treatment actions that can be taken are in cases of wet FIP, removing fluid that accumulates in the cat's abdomen and giving vitamins/antibiotics to dry FIP sufferers. FIP disease is easily transmitted and fatal. Therefore, it can be prevented by maintaining and caring for cats properly and separating cats that have been infected with FIP from healthy cats.

Red algae (Gracilaria sp) is a type of red seaweed that is widely cultivated in Sinjai Regency because it has high economic value and is easy to cultivate. This study aims to determine the types and concentrations of heavy metals contained in red algae (Gracilaria sp) cultivated in the Larea-rea Port area, North Sinjai District, Sinjai Regency. The research method used was the purposive sampling method at four points and analyzing the heavy metal content was carried out using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) method. The research location consists of four points, namely near Larea-rea Port (point 1), far from residential areas (point 2), near residential areas (point 3) and near residential areas and river estuaries (point 4). The results showed that the heavy metals contained in red algae were lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg). The concentration of Pb metal in red algae with the highest value is at point 4, which is 1.971 mg/kg with a high pollution category. The Cd content with the highest value is at point 3, which is 0.046 mg/kg, including the low pollution category. While the Hg content with the highest value is at point 1, which is 0.08 mg/kg, including the low pollution category. Environmental parameters that influence this study are salinity and pH.

Perilaku primata monyet ekot panjang (Macaca fascicularis) di Kebun Binatang Surabaya (KBS

2024-12-18T13:22:33+00:00

Kebun Binatang Surabaya (KBS) as a primary conservation area. The zoo is useful for efforts in the care and breeding of various species. The long-tailed macaque (Macaca fascicularis) is one of the primates with a wide distribution, spanning Southeast Asia. Studying the daily behavior of long-tailed macaques at Kebun Binatang Surabaya is important to understand their habits. The type of research conducted in this study is observational. The method used for recording the daily behavior of long-tailed macaques is focal time sampling. The research subjects include one adult male, one adult female, and one juvenile male. The results showed that the juvenile male long-tailed macaque (M. fascicularis) had the most activities with a total of 2,107 activities, while the adult male had the fewest with a total of 1,876 activities. There are 9 activities observed in the long-tailed macaque (M. fascicularis), which include mating, sleeping, agonistic behavior, playing, vocalizing, grooming, inactivity, eating, and moving.

Identifikasi mikroplastik pada siput Genus Bellamya sp. dari segmen Wonokromo, Tegalsari dan Gubeng Kali Mas Surabaya

2024-12-21T07:19:43+00:00

Plastic waste remains a problem in Indonesian waters. The increase in plastic waste is related to the increasing population. Mismanaged and discarded plastic in the water will degrade into plastic larger than 5 mm, called microplastics. Kali Mas river in Surabaya has the potential to be contaminated due to its flow characteristics through urban areas, trade, and densely populated settlements. Microplastics have the potential to contaminate organisms, one of which is the snail of the genus Bellamya sp., which is abundant in the Kali Mas river. To assess the potential contamination of microplastics in snails, it is necessary to identify microplastics in snails of the genus Bellamya sp. to determine the type and abundance of microplastics in snail samples of the genus Bellamya sp. The research method is divided into several stages, namely sampling, sample preparation, sample identification, and data analysis. The study was conducted in three segments of the Kali Mas river in Surabaya: Wonokromo, Tegalsari, and Gubeng. The research results show that four types of microplastics were found in snails of the genus Bellamya sp. in the form of fiber, filament, fragment, and film. The highest average abundance of total microplastics was in the Tegalsari segment, with 2.53 particles/ind, followed by the Wonokromo segment, with 2.13 particles/ind, and the Gubeng segment, with 1.6 particles/ind. Microplastics can have adverse effects on organisms such as snails of the genus Bellamya sp., such as reduced appetite and can serve as transport agents to other organisms, including humans.
