The problem of fungus is not only experienced by humans. The fungus also attacked commercial chickens on farms. The impact of losses that will be experienced by farmers is not small. Mold cases also do not only occur during the rainy season. During the dry season, this case can be found, especially as it is currently categorized as wet drought (dry season that is still accompanied by rain). Therefore, we need to be aware of this problem. Control of fungal contamination through early detection with visual inspection on rations and raw materials rations, the addition mold inhibitor<\/em> (anti-mildew) and good management is the best choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aspergillosis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aspergillosis is known as mycotic pneumonia, brooder pneumonia <\/em>or fungal pneumonia. <\/em>Called pneumonia<\/em> because this disease mainly affects the respiratory system of chickens. Aspergillosis caused by fungi Aspergillus sp.<\/em> The species that most often attack chickens are Aspergillus flavus<\/em> and Aspergillus fumigatus<\/em>. A. fumigate<\/em> often found in organic materials such as eggs, husks, feed, and equipment (incubator machines). While A. flavus<\/em> more often found in feed raw materials. Aspergillus<\/em> it will produce a lot of spores. The spores are so small and light that they easily spread in the air and contaminate feed, husks, straw, grain, cages, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the evaluation data of the last 3 years by the team Technical Education and Consutation<\/em> Medion trend<\/em> cases of aspergillosis in chickens (broiler<\/em>) from year to year it rises slowly (see Graph 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Indonesia, aspergillosis in broilers (broiler) <\/em>more often found in young age than old age. The chicken (layer<\/em>), in addition to young age, cases have also been found in old chickens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the dangers of aspergillosis? In addition to being pathogenic, aspergillosis in chickens can cause growth retardation and disruption of the immune system. The growth of mushrooms on the ration will also take some of the nutrients contained in it so that the intake of nutrients for chickens is insufficient. Not to mention, with mycotoxins (fungal toxins) produced by fungi Aspergillus<\/em> sp.<\/em> which is very difficult to eliminate and can lead to immunosuppression and even death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
