https://advetresearch.com/index.php/AVR/article/view/1880
<p>Toxocariasis is a disease caused by worms from the genus <em>Toxocara vitulorum</em> and needs attention because this disease causes very serious damage, especially if the larvae reach the brain. <em>T. vitulorum</em> attacks cows of all ages, can be transmitted through food contact or through the mother's placenta which infects the cow's fetus in the womb. Inderect-Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is one of the immunological tests that is widely used to diagnose <em>T. vitulorum</em> infection. This research was carried out from July to September 2023 at the Department of Veterinary Parasitology and Biomolecular Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Airlangga University, Surabaya, Indonesia. In this study, 12 mice were used which were infected with L2 <em>T. vitulorum</em> at a rate of 10 mice per gram of body weight. <em>T. vitulorum</em> adult worms were obtained from bulls treated with 8 mg albendazole/kg body weight. <em>T. vitulorum</em> protein was obtained from the supernatant of worm scours which had been centrifuged and PBS added. Known protein levels will be used as a basis for dilution in indirect-ELISA. Based on cross tabulation, it can be seen that the OD+ value of the ELISA results was 12 out of 12 mice serum samples that showed positive results for <em>T. vitulorum</em> infection (100%). The OD value of the ELISA results was 12 out of 12 mice serum samples which showed negative results (0%). This research illustrates how high the incidence of cross-reaction occurs in <em>T. vitulorum</em> worm infections.</p>KusnotoPratiwi KusumaningtyasSetiawan KoesdartoAswin Rafif KhairullahSuhita AryalokaIkechukwu Benjamin MosesCandra Dwi AtmaOtto Sahat Martua SilaenMuhammad Khaliim Jati KusalaIma FauziahSiti Rani AyutiAbdullah Hasib

143Multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from cat nasal swabs at Surabaya City Veterinary Hospital, Indonesia
https://advetresearch.com/index.php/AVR/article/view/1879
<p>Domestic cats who are related to their owners run the highest risk of spreading <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>. In light of the foregoing, study on the antibiotic resistance of <em>S. aureus</em> isolated from cat nasal swabs to chloramphenicol, gentamicin, tetracyclin, erythromycin, and cefoxitin is required at the Surabaya City Animal Hospital. A sterile cotton swab was used to collect samples, and buffered peptone water was used as the transport medium. Microbiological standard operating procedures were then used to identify the samples. The antibiotic resistance profile of <em>S. aureus</em> was determined by the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method on five different antibiotic discs. The sample inspection results showed that 64 samples (64%) of the 100 isolated cat nose swab samples were found to be positive for <em>S. aureus</em> based on morphological culture features, Gram staining, and biochemical tests. Four <em>S. aureus</em> isolates (6.25%) were found to be multidrug resistant out of a total of 64 <em>S. aureus</em> isolates, according to the profile of antibiotic resistance established from the results of the <em>S. aureus</em> resistance test to antibiotics. Since there are still <em>S. aureus</em> isolates that are susceptible to these antibiotics, the overall conclusion of this study is that tetracycline, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamicin, and cefoxitin medications can still be utilized as a treatment option for <em>S. aureus</em> infection in cats at the Surabaya City Veterinary Hospital.</p>Safira RamadhaniSaumi Kirey MillanniaMustofa Helmi EffendiMohammad SukmanadiAswin Rafif KhairullahIkechukwu Benjamin MosesMuhammad Khaliim Jati KusalaSheila Marty YanestriaM.

143Prevalence of camel trypanosomiasis in Gulf region: a systematic meta-analysis
https://advetresearch.com/index.php/AVR/article/view/1878
<p>Trypanosomiasis in camels is a worldwide major clinical problem. The objective of this review was to present analysis of comprehensive studies on camel trypansomiasis in the Gulf region through meta-analytical investigation. This meta-analysis was conducted according to the rules of PRISMA. Data were extracted after complete search; then finally eligible articles were identified. Using comprehensive meta-analysis software program, the data were analyzed. The results of meta-analysis were effect size, confidence intervals (CI), heterogeneity, and publication bias. Out of 11837 camels in 19 accepted studies, 3179 were proved to be infected with <em>T. evansi</em> (26.85 %). At random, and fixed effects, the Z-value of -6.724 (<em>P</em>-value = 0.000) -30.349 (<em>P</em>-value = 0.000) was recorded, respectively. The Q-value (917.361), I-squared (98.038), and <em>P</em>- value (0.000) are the final heterogeneity variables. Additionally, the Tau-squared is 0.632 with a 0.403 Standard Error. Egger’s linear regression test for asymmetry did not indicate publication bias, Intercept (-4.95), 95% confidence interval (from -9.54 to -0.35), t-value (2.27), and df = 17.00. The 1-tailed <em>P</em>-value (recommended) is 0.018, and the 2-tailed <em>P</em>-value is 0.036. The outcome of Kendall’s tau with continuity correction (-0.29240), with a 1-tailed <em>P</em>-value (recommended) of 0.040 and 2 -tailed <em>P</em>-value of 0.080. Duval and Tweedie’s trim-and-fill method (no studies trimmed) resulted in an adjusted correlation from 0.32702 to 0.34658 (95% CI). In conclusion, the present results indicate that camel trypanosomiasis is a common infection in Gulf countries. Therefore, strict prevention and control policies should be formulated.</p>Sabry El-khodery

143Effect of bile acid supplementation on growth performance, carcass trait, fat digestibility, and blood lipid profile of broiler: a meta-analysis
https://advetresearch.com/index.php/AVR/article/view/1875
<p>Bile acid (BA) is a feed additive that can increase fat digestibility in poultry. The objectives of this meta-analysis were to assess the effectiveness of supplementation with bile acid on growth performance, carcass trait, fat digestibility, and blood lipid profile of broiler by meta-analysis evidence. Peer-reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English were found using databases such as PubMed, and Scopus. The meta-analysis required information on moderators (inclusion level, and treatment duration), a sufficient description of randomization, performance data, and associated measures of variance such as standard deviation (SD) or standard error (SE). All analyses were carried out using the Open Meta-analyst for Ecology and Evolution (OpenMEE) program. Data from the 10 studies included in the meta-analysis were pooled and presented as standardized mean differences (SMDs) at a 95% confidence interval (CI) using a random-effects model. Results indicate that dietary BA supplementation decreases FCR (SMD = –0.50, 95% CI: –0.76 to -0.23, <em>p</em><0.001), and tends to decrease abdominal fat (SMD = SMD = -0.39; 95% CI = -0.78 to 0.01; <em>p</em>=0.055). Contrastingly, BA supplementation increases fat digestibility (SMD = 1.67; 95% CI 0.73 to 0.26; <em>p</em><0.001) and dressing carcass (0.44; 95% CI -0.08 to 0.8; <em>p</em>=0.016) compared with the controls The meta-analysis explains that bile acid is an ingredient that could be used as a feed additive in broiler.</p>Muhammad Fathin HanifNoor Rizky Irmasari HasibuanAmir Machmud MauludinMoh.

143Knowledge and practices among livestock owners regarding Brucellosis- A Cross-sectional study
https://advetresearch.com/index.php/AVR/article/view/1876
<p>Brucellosis is one of the earliest identified and most prevalent zoonotic diseases of bacterial origin with 5, 00, 000 human cases every year globally. Cases reported are only the tip of the iceberg because of the non-specificity in clinical manifestations and chronicity in complications. This study was conducted among 256 livestock owners. Knowledge was assessed using a two-point assessment, and Practices were assessed using a two-point assessment. 5 ml of blood was drawn from each participant and transported to the microbiology department for serological analysis of brucellosis. Anti-brucellosis IgG and IgM antibodies were tested by slide agglutination test and in turn, were confirmed by standard tube agglutination test (titre ≥ 1:160 confirmed as significant).In this study most participants had poor knowledge 186 (72.66%) and were following poor practices 192 (75%)<strong>. </strong>Higher literacy status (aOR: 14.95; p=0.00106), presence of animal shed (aOR: 7.96; p= 0.0001) and vaccination of livestock for prevention of brucellosis (aOR: 5.49; p= 0.00021) were associated with good knowledge. Higher literacy status (aOR: 8.1; p=0.028266), presence of animal shed (aOR: 3.59; p= 0.000637) and having information about brucellosis (aOR: 7.4; p=0001) were associated with good practices towards brucellosis. According to this study participants had a poor understanding of brucellosis and high levels of risky practices, all of which contributed to the risk of contracting brucellosis. So awareness programs to ensure the practice change and screening of livestock at regular intervals with appropriate vaccination is necessary</p> <p> </p>sulakshana baligaKalluru Arjun Reddysoumya masteRangaveni Bogolu
