The purpose of this study is to examine the meatball composition microscopically. Twelve commercial meatball samples marketed in Bogor were used in this study. All samples were processed for histopathology slides. The 5 m meatballs sections were stained with Gomori’s Chrome Alum Hematoxylin. Five (41.67%) of 12 samples showed parts of smooth muscle and cartilage within the meatball section. This findings did not comply with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) regulation, that the meatball should contain only the skeletal muscle. This study showed that the microscopic tissue examination could be utilized as a tool for tissue types detection qualitatively in meatball.

Staphylococcus is Gram-positive bacterium that could lead to an acute and chronic disease in poultry. This research was purposed to evaluate the antibiotics susceptibility of these Staphylococcus spp. against commonly used antibiotics in the field. This study uses isolates of Staphylococcus spp. of laying hens which showed a decrease in egg production. To test the sensitivity, antibiotics of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, tetracycline, gentamycin, colistin sulfate, and enrofloxacin were applied. Results found the sensitivity of Staphylococcus spp. to combination of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid 100%, gentamycin and enrofloxacin 70%.

Pteropus vampyrus is one of the animal species that plays an important role in the ecosystem by spreading the seeds of the edible fruits. Feed variations on each animal greatly affect the digestive tract. This study was aimed to determine the anatomical structure of the large intestine. Five adult large flying foxes weighing 500-800 g were used as the sample in this study. Large intestines were embedded in paraffin and stained with H & E method. H & E staining resulted in the presence of intestinal villi on colon and rectum.

The aim of this study is to detect borax and formalin in meatballs that sold in Limboto, Gorontalo district. This is a descriptive qualitative study. Thirty-three samples were taken randomly from pushcart and restaurant meatball in Limboto. It used simple technic where using turmeric to detect borax and potassium permanganate (KMnO4) to detect formalin. The result showed that the samples were free from borax but twenty five samples (75.75%) were positive for formalin. In conclusion, the produsen of meatballs in Limboto was not using borax for making the chewable meatballs but using formalin to preserve the meatballs.

Salmonellosis is one of foodborne disease. Milkfish is very susceptible to contamination of Salmonella Sp bacteria. Which can be transmitted to humans. Microbiological testing is one of the indicators on the examination of contamination. The main factor causing the contamination could be the presence of pathogenic bacteria found in foodstuffs. The purpose of this study was to detect contamination of Salmonella Sp. In milkfish (Chanos chanos) in Sidoarjo Fish Market using checking indicator using media for SSA and TSIA. The results showed that there were 20 samples from a total of 42 milkfish taken from the fish market was positive for Salmonella sp bacteria. This positive detection indicates the height of its contamination that can lead to the transmission of disease in humans.

Timorensis deer, an endangered species, is one of the native wildlifes in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province. Therefore, it is important to protect the Timorensis deer population in this province. The purpose of this study is to determine haematology value of the Timor deer (Cervus timorensis). Blood samples were taken from four captive deers, owned by Kupang Forestry Research Institute, in Sonbai which are clinically health based on the general physical examination namely temperature and heart frequence. Hematological examination includes the number of blood cells, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit value, erythrocyte indices, and the calculation of leukocytes. Results of this study showed that there were significant increasing the number of leukocytesis 8.42x103/μl and erythrocytes index is 8.24x106/μl.

Clostridium, a bacteria gram-positive and motile, has a rod-shaped that can produce spora. It is a bacteria pathogen if it is contained one or more type of toxins. Blood samples were taken from healthy breastfeeding Timoranses deer (Cervus timorenses) in Forestry Conversation Cage in Oil Sonbay, Kupang. The bloods were cultured in anaerob blood agar plate or Potato Agar Dextrose then incubated at 370 C temperature for 24-28 hours. The next tests were spora staining, catalase, oksidase, motil, Voges Proskauer (VP) and Indol test. The results of all tests showed that the bacteria in the blood samples were Clostridium spp.
