- Revisit the Development of Native Indonesian Chickens from Red Jungle
Fowls (Gallus gallus bankiva) to Commercial Chickens
Authors: Moh Hasil Tamzil, B Indarsih
Abstract: Kampung chicken is one of native Indonesian chickens which has been domesticated from the ancestor of Red Fowl Jungle, and developed by the village community from generation to generation through an extensive rearing method. Before the intensive management of kampung chicken introduced, the chickens were allowed to scavange around the household yard during the day, they slept in the trees, on the roofs or underneath of the household at night. It have been for many years that kampung chickens were crossed with imported exotic breeds, and unplaned selection. As a result, kampung chicken have developed to a considerable high phenotype and genetic varieties with several different names and purposes. There have been selection programs, which have resulted a considerable strain of improved egg type of Kampung chicken (KUB-1 chicken), and a strain of broiler type of local chicken (Sensi-1 Agrinak chicken and Gaoksi chicken). KUB-1 chickens can be used as female lines, and Sensi-Agrinak and Gaoksi chickens can be used as male lines to produce local commercial broilers. The article is intended to provide information on the domestication process of Red Jungle Fowl chickens into Kampung chickens and their development to become layer and broiler line chickens.

- Antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli from Animals, Food and Humans
Authors: Elma Hrustemović, Faruk Čaklovica, Jasmina Đeđibegović, Kenan Čaklovica
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance is considered a global public health problem and is related to the problem of resistance of bacteria in human and veterinary medicine that are transmitted directly and through the food chain. Uncontrolled use of antibiotics in veterinary practice is a special danger for the development of antibiotic resistance. The problem of public health, human and veterinary is the acquired resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. Of particular importance is the emergence of multidrug resistance to Escherichia coli, which is becoming more common in the world, both in human and veterinary medicine, and the possible transmission of resistant Escherichia coli between animals and humans. The purpose of this paper is to show the importance of the rational use of antibiotics in animals and humans to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance. Escherichia coli is an intestinal bacterium of all mammals, widespread in the environment and often present in food of animal origin. Today, a pluripotent bacterium and a carrier of antibiotic resistance genes due to anthropogenic factors, and genes are transmitted through animal bacteria, food bacteria to bacteria of human origin.

- Alternative Solution of Rabbit Development in the Lowlands
Authors: Syamsu Bahar
Abstract: Rabbits are known as livestock suitable to be raised in highland areas with relatively low temperatures. However, rabbits can still survive in lowland areas with relatively high temperatures. Several aspects should be considered to achieve an efficient and profitable rabbit production. An intensive rearing system should be carried out especially in selecting good breeding stock and providing a good nutritional feed. Environmental condition is important to be aware of since the condition that is less appropriate for rabbits, may cause lower production. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the problem and solution for developing rabbit production in lowland areas. The breed of rabbit and type of feed that is used for lowland areas are discussed. The main obstacle to raising rabbits in lowland areas is the relatively high temperature. Therefore, climate engineering around the cage becomes an important effort to reduce the air temperature, hence, providing a comfortable environment for rabbits to grow and reproduce.
