- Abstract
The proper control of pathogenic diseases on livestock will have an impact on livestock production itself. An opportunity to control the disease could be done by using insect antigen as an alternative solution. This experiment aims to evaluate the role of insect thoraxial antigen-G extracted from Musca domestica on serum immunoglobulin levels of goat under a traditional care. The subject animals were twelve local breed goats reared at Sentrum Agraris Lotta (SAL) which were divided into two groups, the first group received thoraxial antigen of M. domestica and the second one was applied to the animals in control group. A total of 10 μL of TMd antigen-G was applied through a subcutaneous injection to the treated animals. The period of incubation was 14 days, and then a blood sample was collected through jugular veins to measure the protein serum levels. The results showed that average value of serum protein level of animals in treatment group was significantly higher compared to animals in control group (P <0.05). The conclusion of this study is that insect thoraxial antigens extracted from M. domestica could be used to enhance the immune system of goats.
