CONDITIONS OF HEMATOLOGY AND HISTOPATHOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE HEART AND INTUSION IN ITICS AFTER THE PROVISION OF BACTERIA Salmonella sp, which has been exposed to ULTRAVIOLET

Maintenance of ducks that are carried out extensively can cause ducks to be prone to disease. One of the diseases that often attacks ducks is caused by Salmonella sp. This bacterium can be transmitted to humans through infected duck eggs and if the processing of eggs consumed is not ripe. In addition, bacteria can move to the newly hatched ducklings.

One way to kill Salmonella sp is by using ultraviolet (UV) light. In this study irradiation for 15, 25 and 35 minutes. Salmonella sp bacteria can attack several physiological systems of the body, one of which is the digestive system. This is because bacteria infect ducks through food and drink that has been contaminated with bacteria. To see the effect of Salmonellosis, a blood sample and organ of the ducks were removed every 2 weeks from the treatment. The physiological condition of ducks infected with Salmonella sp can be seen from the number of bacterial colonies taken from the cloaca swabs, liver and intestine, hematological conditions and histopathological features of the liver and intestines in ducks that have been infected with Salmonella sp that have been exposed to ultraviolet.

Based on the results of research that has been done, it was found that the radiation of Salmonella sp using UV light for 35 minutes was most effective to weaken the bacteria because the results showed the smallest value compared to other controls and irradiation. Some histological abnormalities were found in the liver and intestines but still in a condition of minor damage because the damage was only found a little. Abnormalities that occur in the liver include bleeding, nucleus picnosis, necrosis and inflammation, while in the intestine found abnormalities include epithelial cell desquamation, bleeding and proliferation of goblet cells
