Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the dominant factor that clinically influent the occurrence of dehydration in goats aged 10-14 days old, in order to enhance the accuracy in diagnoinge the state of hydration. Ten native kacang goatlings were used as research objects. Kacang goatlings were dehydrated until loss 10% of their bodyweight by inducing diuretics furosemide (2mg/kg body weight every 4 hours) using intramuscularly, orally administration of spironolactone (50 mg every 8 hours) and hydrochlorothiazide (50 mg every 8 hours). Regression analysis was used to verify the correlation between clinical factors that considered potential, which are enopthalmus, skin turgor (back, neck and upper eyelid), capillary refill time, pulsus, breath, and body temperature. The results showed that enopthalmus, skin turgor on back and eye region has close correlation with dehydration occurrence with coefficient determinant R2 are 0.92; 0.90 and 0.81 respectively. It can be concluded that these three parameters can be used as predictor towards dehydration occurrence.

Highlights

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the dominant factor that clinically influent the occurrence of dehydration in goats aged 10-14 days old, in order to enhance the accuracy in diagnoinge the state of hydration

  • The results showed that enopthalmus, skin turgor on back and eye region has close correlation with dehydration occurrence with coefficient determinant R2 are 0.92; 0.90 and 0.81 respectively

  • Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga parameter yang berhubungan erat dan baik dijadikan sebagai prediktor terhadap terjadinya dehidrasi pada anak kambing kacang lokal yang berumur 10-14 hari

Summary

Introduction

The purpose of this study was to determine the dominant factor that clinically influent the occurrence of dehydration in goats aged 10-14 days old, in order to enhance the accuracy in diagnoinge the state of hydration. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada anak kambing kacang lokal yang berumur antara 10-14 hari dengan memberikan larutan sukrosa dan tiga macam diuretik, yaitu spironolactone, furosemide, dan hydrochlorothiazide, yang menyebabkan ternak mengalami diare dan diuresis yang berlebihan, sehingga terjadi penurunan berat badan secara bertahap seiring dengan tingkat dehidrasi yang dialami. Hasil ini sesuai dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Constable et al (1998), bahwa untuk mengevaluasi derajat hidrasi terhadap anak kambing yang baru lahir dapat dilakukan pada daerah enophtalmus.
