Avian Influenza Antibody Titer Of Laying Hens in Production Phase At District Penebel Tabanan Regency

Background: The virus of Avian Influenza (AI) H5N1 has become endemic in Indonesia since 2003. In 2012, the Avian Influenza outbreak at District Penebel caused chickens mortality in large numbers. One of the efforts to prevention the Avian Influenza outbreak is by vaccination. Therefore, supporting AI vaccination program needs diagnostic methods from post-vaccinated chickens that produce antibody titer by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test. Purpose: The study aims to monitor the antibody of Avian Influenza phase I and phase II production in laying hens at District Penebel, Tabanan Regency. Method: 131 serum samples were collected from hens serums at poultry which has been sampled before. The serum sample is tested by Hemagglutination Inhibition (HI) test to calculate antibody titer. The serum is protective if the titer reacheas 24 or more, and the serum is unprotective if the titer is under 24. Data presented in 2x2 cross-sectional study contingent tabel and analyzed by Chi-Square (X2) non-parametric with the distribution. Results: Protective percentage of immunity level in production phase I in laying hens at District Penebel is 60,3%, whereas on production phase II is 43,6%. Data from the 2x2 contingent table showed an odd ratio of 1,9. The result of the Chi-Square (X2) analysis statistic represents immunity levels between production phase I and II are non-significance (p>0,05). Conclusion: Production phase I in laying hens has an immunity level 1,9x higher than production phase II. There is an association between the production phase and the protective immunity level of Avian Influenza.

Weight Gain and Feed Conversion of Broiler Chickens in Reviewed from Cage Temperature and Humidity

Background: Broiler chicken production is influenced by several factors, namely genetic, management, and environmental factors. Genetically superior chickens will not produce maximum results if not supported by a comfortable environment for chickens (comfort zone) because they are animals that will grow optimally at a certain temperature range. in addition, humidity also affects the production and health of chickens. So that the selection of the cage becomes important to create comfortable environmental conditions for chickens. Cage with a relatively stable temperature will greatly affect the production results, including body weight and feed conversion. Purpose: To determine the effect of temperature and humidity of semi-enclosed cages on weight gain and feed conversion of broiler chicken. Method: Observation was carried out during a period of maintenance of broiler chickens on farms and data collected in the form of the recording of chicken weight and feed conversion. Result: Temperature and humidity of semi-enclosed cages have a good effect on production results, with chicken harvest weight of 2197.3 grams and feed conversion of 1.52 kg. Conclusion: this study indicate that temperature and humidity have a good influence on weight gain of chickens and feed conversion value.

Etawa Goat Estrus Quality with Estrus Synchronization
