Abstract: Nutrients play a vital role in the sustainability of sheep production by maintaining the reproductive process and the health status of the ewe. This study evaluated blood hematology changes during prepartum and postpartum on ewe fed flushing diet. A total of 20 Garut sheep were used in this study. A completely randomized factorial design 4 × 2 was used. The first factor was ration (P1= basal ration P2= Flushing concentrate 6% palm oil P3= Flushing concentrate 3% palm oil and 3% lemuru oil P4= Flushing concentrate 6% lemuru oil), and the second factor was a physiological phase (prepartum and postpartum ). Erythrocyte and hemoglobin levels were higher postpartum than in the prepartum period (P ,05), but the ration was not affected. The postpartum ewe has a lower percentage of lymphocyte and monocyte but higher neutrophil than the prepartum period. P2, P3, and P4 significantly (P ,05) improved the number of monocytes. P3 significantly (P ,05) decrease lymphocyte and increase neutrophil. The neutrophil to lymphocyte (N/L) ratio is very low in P4 and high in P3. In conclusion, feeding flushing concentrate 6% lemuru oil can improve the immune system by maintaining normal blood hematology during the prepartum and postpartum.

Abstract: Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a non-destructive, low cost and fast measurement technique that is required to improve the meat texture quality prediction. In this research, visible/NIR spectroscopy has been used for the prediction of raw chicken meat texture from different types of chickens by referring to the reference data obtained from destructive measurement using a Volodkevich Bite Jaws texture analyser. The Partial Least Squares analysis shows that the prediction accuracy is higher for the Az-Zain village organic chickens (85–95%) than for village chickens (42–68%) and broiler chickens (42–44%). The high prediction accuracy and low absorbance spectra of Az-Zain village organic chickens compared to broiler and village chickens could be correlated with the food composition of the chicken meal.

Abstract: Non-invasive hormone monitoring of endangered wildlife provides an essential tool to optimize breeding strategies, mainly in captive management. However, the protocol of reproductive hormone monitoring on pregnancy status using non-invasive faecal s les in Malayan tapir is still inconclusive. Therefore, we compared the metabolites reproductive hormones 17β-oestradiol and progesterone in the faecal s les extracted using methods of Schwarzenberger et al. (1996) (Methods A and B), Brown et al. (2001) (Method C) and Shutt et al. (2012) (Method D) from pregnant and non-pregnant captive Malayan Tapir. Faecal s les from four female of Malayan Tapir (Tapirus indicus) were collected for five months at Sungai Dusun Wildlife Reserve (n = 2), Zoo Taiping (n = 1) and Zoo Negara (n = 1), Malaysia. Analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) confirmed that progesterone was detected in all fecal s le extracted by extraction Method A, while 17β-oestradiol was undetectable in all methods. The measurement of reproductive hormones for pregnancy status via Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) analysis showed no significant difference (p 0.05) for progesterone between the fecal extraction methods. Yet the data obtained were not able to validate the pregnancy status, due to similarity in concentration for both pregnant and non-pregnant tapirs. While for 17β-oestradiol, significant results were observed in all extraction methods and in pregnancy status (p 0.05). Method C was found to be the most reliable extraction method (p 0.05) to indicate pregnancy status. From the results, it showed that solvent used, boiling process and multiphase extraction plays important role in fecal extraction process in Malayan Tapir.
