Mapping of Reproduction Disorders Caused by Infectious Diseases in Bali Cattle (Bos sundaicus) in Muna Regency, Indonesia

Background: The Government of Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, in Indonesia, made Bali cattle a leading livestock commodity. The problem faced by farmers is the slow increase in population, which is caused by reproduction disorders. Mapping of animal diseases can be used as a guide in determining the location of cattle farming development. This study aims to determine the spread of infectious diseases found in Bali cattle in the Muna Regency. A total of 27 blood samples were obtained from the jugular veins of the cattle in Muna Regency in 9 sub-districts, that were suspected to have an infectious disease. Methods: The samples were then tested using the ELISA method for Septicaemia epizootica, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis and Trypanosomiasis, while the test for Brucellosis was conducted in parallel between RBT and CFT. Result: Brucellosis and Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis were absent, however, the prevalence of Septicaemia epizootica disease was in all regions. Trypanosomiasis disease is found in 55.5% of Bali cattle breeding centers in Muna Regency, in adjacent areas, Septicaemia epizootica was the disease with the highest rate of infection followed by Trypanosomiasis which was partial in some regions.
