Veterinary Biomedical and Clinical Journal https://vbcj.ub.ac.id/index.php/vbcj <p style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Veterinary Biomedical and Clinical Journal (VBCJ)</strong> is a peer-reviewed journal managed by the <a href="https://fkh.ub.ac.id/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia</a>. Initially registered in 2019 (<a href="https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/2622-1012" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISSN Online: 2622-1012</a>), the journal has undergone significant organizational restructuring, gaining a professional collaboration with the Indonesian Veterinary Association for East Java II (PDHI Jatim II) in 2020, and leading to a renewed commitment to professional editorial management beginning in 2022. This journal provides a platform for the dissemination of good-quality research across all fields of <strong>veterinary biomedical</strong> and <strong>clinical sciences</strong>, including <strong>original research, review papers, short communication, and case reports</strong>. This journal has <strong>two (2) issues in a year</strong> which will be published normally in July and December, with a continuous publication method.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">To implement the quality assurance of the journal, the editorial board members were invited from seven (8) countries, namely Indonesia, Australia, Malaysia, the <span style="font-family: Arial; text-align: justify; color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span class="Typography-module__lVnit Typography-module__Nfgvc" data-testid="authorId">United States of America</span></span></span></span>, Nigeria, Bangladesh, England, and Belgium.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, the authors so far are from 12 countries, namely the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, the United States of America, Queensland, Nigeria, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Indonesia.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peer reviewers who are working in the editorial process come from 15 countries, namely Indonesia, Nigeria, India, Tunisia, Italy, Belgium, South Korea, Malaysia, Australia, the United States of America, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, New Zealand, and <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span class="Typography-module__lVnit Typography-module__Nfgvc" style="color: #000000;" data-testid="authorId"><span class="Typography-module__lVnit Typography-module__Nfgvc" data-testid="authorId">Zambia</span></span></span></span>.</span></p> en-US vbcj@ub.ac.id (Veterinary Biomedical and Clinical Journal) resi.gretania@ub.ac.id (Gretania Residiwati) Sun, 13 Oct 2024 22:30:50 +0000 OJS 3.3.0.13 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 Effects of Acetone Extract of Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) on Diameter, Viability, and Germinal Vesicle Breakdown Rate of Zebrafish Oocytes (Danio rerio) Exposed to Heat Stress as an Animal Model https://vbcj.ub.ac.id/index.php/vbcj/article/view/453 <p>Global warming is characterized by increasing temperatures of the earth's atmosphere, ocean and land, resulting in extreme climate change. The effects of climate change will affect animal health through increased ambient temperature (heat stress). This study using Zebrafish as animal model like our previuous study because Zebrafish, have 70% identical genetic similarity to humans. In addition, Zebrafish have specific approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for new drug discovery research. Heat stress negatively affects animal health through an increase in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), especially in the reproductive system because it causes a decrease in reproductive efficiency, such as follicular development, oocyte quality, and oocyte maturation. Antioxidant supplementation, namely green tea extract, is needed to reduce the negative effects of heat stress. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference of 4 µl dose of green tea extract (<em>Camellia sinensis</em>) on the diameter, viability, and Germinal Vesicle Breakdown (GVBD) rate of Zebrafish oocytes at normal temperature (28℃) and with exposure to heat stress (32℃; 34℃). Zebrafish oocytes were collected and grouped into 2 (two) treatment groups including, non-heat stress group (28℃) and heat stress group (32℃; 34℃) with 6 repetitions. Quantitative data were processed using SPSS software with Two Way ANOVA analysis. The results of Two Way ANOVA showed that green tea extract supplementation had a positive effect on the diameter, viability, and GVBD of Zebrafish oocytes. This is indicated by the significance of the percentage of diameter (P=0.002), viability (P=0.003), and GVBD rate (P=0.000).</p> Habib Syaiful Arif Tuska, Aaliyah Nurul Hidayah, Bonick Kartini Lonameo, Umar Bello, Budiono Copyright (c) 2024 Habib Syaiful Arif Tuska, Aaliyah Nurul Hidayah, Bonick Kartini Lonameo, Umar Bello, Budiono https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://vbcj.ub.ac.id/index.php/vbcj/article/view/453 Wed, 02 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Isolation, Identification, and Antibiotic Susceptibility Test of Streptococcus spp. from a Cat Suspected of Respiratory Tract Disease at Nong Lam University, Vietnam https://vbcj.ub.ac.id/index.php/vbcj/article/view/379 <p>The nasal sample of a suspected respiratory tract disease cat, which is characterized by having a yellowish-colored nasal discharge, was obtained from a clinic in Ho Chi Minh City to be brought to the laboratory using the Stuart Amies transport medium. Samples were isolated on blood agar plate (BAP) media anaerobically. Gram staining and catalase tests were performed to identify the bacterial species. Furthermore, we conducted antibiotic sensitivity tests using Mueller-Hinton Agar (MHA) media, which included Tetracycline, Gentamicin, Marbofloxacin, and Amoxicilin-Clavulanate antibiotic disks. In order to prescribe an antibiotic, a clinical vet must go through a series of decision-making processes that involve both the drug and the host. In this case study, we were performing the diagnostic process before a medication could be prescribed to a patient with suspected respiratory tract disease.</p> Elfahra Casanza Amalda, Mifta Rizqina Amalia, Ainrisq Auliya Rifai, Yohana Maria Karo, Lady Konfidenia Chintari, Habyb Palyoga Copyright (c) 2024 Elfahra Casanza Amalda et al. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://vbcj.ub.ac.id/index.php/vbcj/article/view/379 Fri, 27 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000
