ABSTRACT

This research was conducted to study hematogical condition (total erythrocyte, concentration of haemoglobin, and packed cell volume value) sheep during transportation with combination of multivitamin- meniran. Twelve Priangan sheep were divided of into 3 groups i.e,  sheep with transportation stress (control), sheep with transportation stress and combination of multivitamin-meniran (Treatment A), sheep with transportation stress and multivitamin (Treatment B). The sheep were given stress transportation for 12 hours within 250 km around Bogor district. Blood samples were taken at 0 hour (pre transportation), 4h, 8h, 12h (during transportation) and 24h, 48h, 72h (post transportation) to observe total erythrocyte, concentration of haemoglobin, and packed cell volume value. The results showed that total erythrocyte and concentration of haemoglobin increased and reached the peak at 8 hours although the range is still in normal condition. Packed cell volume of sheep under stress did not change. It was concluded that the combination of multivitamin-meniran was effective in maintaining haematological condition during sheep transportation.

Keywords : Transportation, stress, eritrosit, multivitamin, meniran.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui gambaran hematologi (jumlah eritrosit, kadar hemoglobin, dan nilai hematokrit) domba yang mengalami stres transportasi yang diberikan multivitamin dan meniran. Sebanyak 12 ekor domba priangan jantan dengan bobot badan mulai dari 20 sampai dengan 22 kg digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Domba penelitian dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok perlakuan, yaitu domba yang ditransportasikan dan tidak diberikan perlakuan (Kontrol), domba yang ditransportasikan dan diberikan kombinasi multivitamin-meniran (Perlakuan A), dan domba yang ditransportasikan dan diberikan perlakuan multivitamin saja (Perlakuan B). Transportasi dilakukan selama 12 jam (sejauh 250 km) keliling sekitar Kabupaten Bogor. Sampel darah diambil jam ke-0 (sebelum transportasi), jam ke-4, 8, 12 (selama transportasi) dan jam ke-24, 48, 72 (setelah transportasi). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jumlah eritrosit dan kadar hemoglobin domba yang ditransportasikan mengalami peningkatan tertinggi pada jam ke-8 setelah ditransportasikan walupun masih dalam keadaan nilai hematologi normal. Sementara itu, nilai hematokrit domba yang ditransportasikan tidak mengalami perubahan. Kombinasi multivitamin-meniran terbukti mampu mempertahankan nilai hematologis (jumlah eritrosit, kadar hemoglobin, dan nilai hematokrit) domba yang ditransportasikan.

Kata kunci : Transportasi, stres, eritrosit, multivitamin, meniran.
