TL;DR: Dominant proportion of superficial cell that occurred in estrus period might be used as the base for determining optimal time for insemination in aceh cattle.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the period of estrus cycle in aceh cattle, Indonesia, based on vaginal cytology techniques. Four healthy females of aceh cattle with average weight of 250–300 kg, age of 5–7 years, and body condition score of 3-4 were used. All cattle were subjected to ultrasonography analysis for the occurrence of corpus luteum before being synchronized using intramuscular injections of PGF2 alpha 25 mg. A vaginal swab was collected from aceh cattle, stained with Giemsa 10%, and observed microscopically. Period of estrus cycle was predicted from day 1 to day 24 after estrus synchronization was confirmed using ultrasonography analysis at the same day. The result showed that parabasal, intermediary, and superficial epithelium were found in the vaginal swabs collected from proestrus, metestrus, and diestrus aceh cattle. Proportions of these cells in the particular period of estrus cycle were 36.22, 32.62, and 31.16 (proestrus); 21.33, 32.58, and 46.09 (estrus); 40.75, 37.58, and 21.67 (metestrus); and 41.07, 37.38, and 21.67 (diestrus), respectively. In conclusion, dominant proportion of superficial cell that occurred in estrus period might be used as the base for determining optimal time for insemination.

TL;DR: The prevalence of both trematodes was higher in the skinny cattle (BSC 2 and 3) and the infection of Fasciola in BCS 3 was higher than BCS 2 and 4.
Abstract: Fasciola gigantica and Paramphistomum spp. are trematode helminth causing severe economic losses in cattle farming in Aceh Province, Indonesia. This study was conducted to examine the correlation between the prevalence of F. gigantica and Paramphistomum spp infections with the body condition and sex of Aceh cattle. In total, 103 cattle (50 males and 53 females) from an abattoir in Banda Aceh were used. The body condition score was recorded and the number of fluke eggs in feces was examined coproscopically. The results showed that F. gigantica prevalence was 41% and 72% in females and males, respectively, whereas, the prevalence of Paramphistomum spp in females and males was 81% and 72%, respectively. The average number of fasciola eggs was 2.55 eggs/ g feces and 2.75 eggs/ g feces in females and males, respectively, The average number of Paramphistomum spp eggs was 127.6 eggs/g feces and 36.8 eggs/ g feces in males, and female respectively. Based on the Body Condition Score (BCS), the prevalence of both trematodes was higher in the skinny cattle (BSC 2 and 3). This study established that the infection of Fasciola in BCS 3 was higher than BCS 2 and 4. Male cattle were more susceptible to infection than females.

TL;DR: The results showed that morphometric measurements of Aceh, Ongole crossbreed, and Bali cattle were significantly different (P<0.05), which should conribute to phenotype profilinge of Balo cattle, Ongoles crossbree, and Aceh cattle, which is important for cattle breeding and conservation in Indonesia.
Abstract: Aceh cattle is one of four local cattle breeds (Aceh, Bali, Madura, and pesisir), and Ongole crossbreed is also regarded as the local cattle breed in Indonesia. They are most likely to be well adapted to the environment, including disease, climate, feed and water availability. This study aims to determine the body size characteristics of Aceh, Bali, and Ongole crossbreed cattles. As many as 20 heads of Aceh, Bali, and Ongole crossbreed cattle respectively were used for measurement of 18 body parameters. Data obtained was then subkecyed to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Principle Component Analysis (PCA). The results showed that morphometric measurements of Aceh, Ongole crossbreed, and Bali cattle were significantly different (P<0.05). PCA results showed that body measurement was detemined by chest circumference at Bali cattle, neck height at Ongole crossbreed, body length, and chest circumference at Aceh cattle. Meanwhile the shape components were chest widht at Ongole crossbreed and Bali cattle and thoracic part at Aceh cattle. This result should conribute to phenotype profilinge of Bali cattle, Ongole crossbreed, and Aceh cattle, whic is important for cattle breeding and conservation in Indonesia.

TL;DR: The relationship between the intensity of estrus and conception rates show significant correlation with coefficient correlation 0.832, and the number of conceptions in Aceh cattle induced by two estrus synchronization methods shows significant correlation.
Abstract: There was no report yet on the effective methods of estrus synchronization in Aceh cattle. The aim of this study was to determine percentage and intensity of estrus, pregnancy, relationship between intensity of estrus and percentage of pregnancy resulted from artificial insemination artificial insemination in Indonesian aceh cattle induced by two estrus synchronization methods. Group I (K1, n=5), were synchronized with double injection using prostaglandin (PGF2α) 5 ml intramuscularly with interval 10 days, whereas Group II (K2, n=5) synchronized using CIDR-B inserted into vagina during 7 days and followed by injection of PGF2α 5 ml intramuscularly on day 6. The cattle were inseminated 12 hours after the signs of estrus appearance using frozen semen fertile. Intensity of estrus was performed using score in a scale 0 to 5. Percentage of estrus, intensity of estrus, and pregnancy percentage of cattle in K1 vs K2 respectively 80.0 vs 80.0%; 4.2±0.84 vs 4.4±0.90, dan 100.0 vs 100.0%. The relationship between the intensity of estrus and conception rates show significant correlation with coefficient correlation 0.832.
