Judul: Penyebab Kematian Pedet Serta Dampak Terhadap Perkembangan Populasi Sapi Sabah Sahiwal Friesian (Studi Kasus Di Stasiun Pembiakan Ternakan JPHPT Sebrang, Keningau, Sabah, Malaysia)
Abstrak: The aim of this study was to know the causes of mortality in Sabah Sahiwal Friesien (SSF) calves and its impact towards the population development of SSF cattle. The main causes and their percentages observed at the Stasiun Pembiakan Ternakan Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan dan Perusahaan Ternak (JPHPT) in Sebrang Keningau, Sabah, Malaysia was hairball (21,71%), lethargy (17,43%), cachexia (13,16%), bloat (9,87%), diarrhea (9,21%), dehydration (8,22%) and pneumonia (7,90%). The most significant causes of mortality revealed a serious problem with hygiene in stationary enclosures and feeding management. Mortality of juveniles decreases the slope of the replacement line, and causes changes in the slope of the stock. Replacement stock is cattle that are grown on farm to replaced oldes, less productive cows, and bulls. With better calf management in regard to hygiene, surveillance, and control of milk off-take, overall calf survival may be increased and the station’s production made more profitable.

Judul: Case Study of Cestode Infection in Friesian Holstein Dairy Cattle at PT Nusantara Agri Sejati Sukabumi Regency West Java Province
Abstrak: Sapi Friesian Holstein (FH) merupakan ras sapi dengan sumber susu yang potensial untuk dikembangkan di Indonesia, oleh karena itu diperlukan manajemen pemeliharaan yang baik untuk menghindari penyakit yang bersifat non-genetik seperti infeksi cestoda saluran pencernaan yang dapat mengurangi produktivitas sapi perah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur tingkat kejadian infeksi cestoda dan mengidentifikasi faktor risiko yang berpengaruh terhadap kejadian infeksi cestoda di PT Nusantara Agri Sejati (NAS) Kabupaten Sukabumi Provinsi Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan 34 ekor sapi bunting dan muda (dara). Sampel yang dikoleksi berupa feses serta pengambilan sampel rumput dan tanah di empat titik sekitar lahan PT NAS yang digunakan untuk sumber pakan. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi- square untuk mengukur keberadaan hubungan antara variabel dan perhitungan odds ratio untuk mengukur kuat hubungan paparan dengan kejadian penyakit. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan infeksi Moniezia sp. dari kelas cestoda di PT NAS rendah dengan prevalensi sebesar 20,5% dan jumlah telur kurang dari 50 TTGT. Faktor risiko BCS memiliki hubungan nyata terhadap infeksi cestoda di PT NAS (p-value 0,029). Infeksi cestoda di PT NAS dipengaruhi oleh faktor Body Condition Score (BCS). Hal ini berhubungan dengan status gizi BCS 2 lebih rentan terkena infeksi cestoda daripada BCS 3. Perbaikan pakan dan program deworming perlu dilakukan untuk menghindari kenaikan kejadian infeksi cestoda di PT NAS., Friesian Holstein (FH) are a breed of cattle with a potential source of milk to be developed in Indonesia, therefore good management is needed to avoid non-genetic diseases such as digestive tract cestode infections which can reduce the productivity of dairy cows. This study aims to determine and measure the incidence of cestode infection and determine factors that can affect the incidence of cestode infection in PT Nusantara Agri Sejati (NAS) Sukabumi Regency, West Java Province. This study used 34 pregnant and young cows (heifers). Samples were collected in the form of feces as well as grass and soil sampling at four points around the PT NAS land used for feed sources. Data analysis used the chi-square test to measure the relationship between exposure and disease and to calculate the odds ratio to measure the magnitude between variables. The results showed that there are infection with Moniezia sp. of the cestode class at PT NAS is very low with a prevalence (20,5%) and the number of eggs is less than 50 TTGT. BCS risk factors have a significant relationship to cestode infection at PT NAS (p-value 0,029). Cestode infections in PT NAS are influenced by Body Condition Score (BCS) factors. This is related to the nutritional status of BCS 2 which is more susceptible to cestode infection than BCS 3. Improvement in feed management and deworming program need to be carried out due to avoid increases incidence of cestode infections in PT NAS.
