Pemanfaatan Campuran Kuning Telur (Igy) dan Curcuminoid di Pakan serta Pemberian Bubuk Albumin untuk Meningkatkan Kekebalan dan Mempercepat Persembuhan Luka Sapi dalam Menghadapi Outbreak Penyakit PMK di Desa Karangpakis, Kecamatan Purwoasri, Kabupaten Kediri

Abstract

The purpose of this program is to improve the knowledge and skills of farmers in making concentrate feed by adding chicken egg yolk liquid containing IgY and Curcuminoid to increase the immunity of cattle and using albumin powder to accelerate wound healing in cattle infected with FMD and foster independence and preparedness of farmer groups in facing infectious disease outbreaks in animals through continuous education and the application of appropriate technology based on local sources. The method is implemented through concentrate feed seminars, assistance in making concentrate feed containing immunoglobulin, questionnaire data collection and monitoring of animal welfare by field veterinarians. The results of the questionnaire data collection revealed that 82% of farmers stated they had never made their own concentrate using locally available ingredients, making it difficult to accurately quantify the concentrate composition. Although farmers generally understood that a mixture of egg yolk and turmeric could be used as a treatment for FMD in cattle, they did not yet understand the benefits of albumin powder as a treatment for FMD. Furthermore, farmers also lacked understanding of the correct dosage of the egg yolk and turmeric mixture and the use of albumin powder. Therefore, outreach through this program provided a solution to address the aforementioned issues. In conclusion, this program can be an appropriate platform for improving farmers' understanding of the use of egg yolk, curcuminoid, and albumin powder in feed, with appropriate dosages, and the preparation of concentrate feed as an effort to address FMD outbreaks in cattle.
