A study on Aspergillus spp. content in various samples and the status of avian aspergillosis in South Kalimantan [Indonesia]

English. The Aspergillus spp. content in various samples and the status of avian aspergillosis in South Kalimantan was studied. Samples were collected from the field consisting of village chickens (129), Alabio ducklings (192), duck's eggs (701), feed (59), rice bran (17), and litter (2). Samples were then cultured onto Sabouraud's glucose agar medium containing antibacterial antibiotics (penicilin-streptomycin) and incubated at 25 deg. C and 37 deg. C. The growth of mould colonies, especially Aspergillus spp., was observed for 10-14 days. The result showed that Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, and a number of Aspergillus spp. yet to be identified were isolated from most of the samples. Meanwhile, aspergillosis caused especially by A. fumigatus, A. flavus, and A. niger, were positively detected in chickens and ducklings, and in duck's eggs, although their occurrence the latter were insignificant

Indonesian. Penelaahan terhadap kandungan Aspergillus spp. pada berbagai contoh dan status aspergillosis pada unggas di Kalimantan Selatan telah dilakukan. Contoh diperoleh dari lapangan yang berasal dari ayamm buras (129), anak itik Alabio (192), telur itik (701), pakan (59) dedak (17) dan alas kandang (2). Contoh dibiakkan ke dalam medium agar glukosa Sabouraud mengandung antibiotika antibakteri (penisilin-streptomisin) dan diinkubasikan pada suhu 25 derajat C dan 37 derajat C. Pertumbuhan koloni kapang, khususnya Aspergillus spp., diamati selama 10-14 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Aspergillus fumigatus, A. flavus, A. niger, dan sejumlah Aspergillus lain yang belum dapat diidentifikasi spesiesnya dapat diisolasi dari sebagian besar contoh. Kasus aspergillosis oleh A. fumigatus, A. flavus dan A. niger secara positif pada ayam buras, anak itik, dan telur itik dijumpai, walaupun persentasi keterdapatannya pada yang terakhir tidak berarti
