Poultry and livestock industries were prime contributors to agricultural outputs, which correlates with the growth of the human population. While poultry is an important protein source that provides job opportunities and additional livelihood, microbial contamination poses a constant threat to the safety and quality of chicken products sold in a few market sources, from local to international markets around the world. This study investigates the morphological characterization of microorganisms present on chicken meat sold in various areas in Jaro, Iloilo City. The study's findings reveal the presence of various species of microorganisms that can harm consumers' health and overall wellbeing. This study also emphasizes the importance of meat pH as an indication that presents the hastening spoilage rate of the meat with the presence of alkaline-loving bacteria that affect the chemical composition of the meat in the long run. The researcher suggests a need for a thorough evaluation, and a series of biochemical tests must be added to identify the microorganism properly. The study promotes awareness of the crucial role of proper handling of meat products, sanitation practices and improved preservation procedures are also a must. Investing in these kinds of studies is not only recommended; hence, it is vital.

While poultry is an important protein source globally, concerns about antibiotic residues are also arising, affecting public health. This study focuses on detecting Trimethoprim (TMP) residues in chicken meat sold in Iloilo City using an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) rapid test kit. TMP is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections in chickens. The study aimed to detect Trimethoprim (TMP) residues from Chicken meat cuts sold in major Iloilo City retail locations. The study found positive TMP concentrations in some chicken samples; however, residues were not found confined to specific cuts of chicken tissue but were shown in two (2) instances to be pervasive throughout the chicken carcass, considering the samples were taken randomly on specific standard cuts. Therefore, no conclusions can be made correlating TMP residues to the retail location or cut of chicken meat bought. Thus, there is a need for further investigation at the farm and slaughterhouse levels to understand the factors contributing to antibiotic residues in chicken meat.

Chronic respiratory disease caused by Mycoplasma galliseptium lead to many deaths among poultry producers in the Philippines, in which it is a serious threat on poultry farmers. Mycoplasma gallisepticum cannot be fully eliminated and there is no vaccine available, in which only antibiotics are used to maintain low levels of Mycoplasma gallisepticum in the flock. Alternative antibiotic and immunostimulant which are plant based used to manage this type of infection to avoid antimicrobial resistance (AMR), as a result, Garlic (Allium sativum) Emulsified Concentrate for poultry is necessary. A study found out that once a chicken is infected with Mycoplasma gallisepticum it was observed that there was a decreased antioxidant responses in bursa of fabricius (BOF) tissues of chickens. This study was conducted to test the immunostimulatory and the effect on blood biochemistry on Philippine Native Chicken using ELISA test and Biochemistry Analyzer, respectively. A Paired T-test Analysis was employed to examine the data gathered. Six (6) healthy chickens (hens) were used in this study. Results revealed that all infected chickens’ number of antibodies increased when treated with Garlic Emulsified Concentrate and only had minimal changes on the blood chemistry of the chicken. Furthermore, it was observed that after it received treatment, the chicken’s vitality returned, and they started to intake food and became more active as if they were not infected on the compared to when they got infected, they started to intake less feeds and became lethargic.

Staphylococcus aureus It is the main source of skin and soft tissue infections, which result in cellulitis, furuncles, abscesses, and mortality. Garlic ointment mixed with lavender oil has been produced as a safer and less expensive alternative to synthetic antibiotic ointment. The study was conducted to formulate and evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Garlic (Allium sativum) with lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil; assess the Minimum inhibitory Concentration and Zone of Inhibition; and evaluate the Potency Level of Garlic with Lavender Ointment. This research involved a total 30 Petri plates, 100pl Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, 500pl mupirocin at higher dose, 250pl mupirocin at lower dose, 500pl VCO, 500pl distilled water. The concentration were laid out using a complete randomized design (CRD) and two-factor (CRD). The GEO with LEO assessed through MIC after 24 hours of post-exposure revealed that 100% GEO with LEO concentration has the highest mean percentage (80.65%). In addition, treatments 85% to 100% GEO with LEO concentration had a wider ZOI. Furthermore, after 72 hours of post-exposure. The antibacterial property of GEO with LEO is potent, based on standard potency of 60 to 150 percent. Thus, GEO with LEO can serve as a substitute for regulating the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus from Philippine native chicken. Abstract only 2024-04-01T00:00:00Z
