Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Universitas Airlangga

Penyakit zoonosis masih menjadi permasalahan dalam industri peternakan di Indonesia. Kemeterian Pertanian mencatat, beberapa kasus epidemi zoonosis telah memukul peternak di Indonesia dan memberikan kerugian besar. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, Direktorat Jenderal Peternakan dan Kesehatan Hewan (Ditjennak Keswan) Kementerian Pertanian Republik Indonesia memperkuat kerja sama dengan kalangan akademisi, terutama fakultas kedokteran hewan, untuk menanggulangi permasalahan penyakit zoonosis. Salah satu fakultas kedokteran hewan yang ditunjuk oleh Ditjennak Keswan adalah Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan (FKH) Universitas Airlangga. Bersama empat fakultas kedokteran hewan lainnya, yaitu FKH Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB), FKH Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), FKH Universitas Udayana, dan FKH Univeritas Syiah Kuala (Unsyiah), FKH Unair menandatangani Memorandum of Understanding dengan Ditjennak Keswan di Ruang Tandjung Adiwinatan, lantai 2 FKH Unair (19/4).

Penandatanganan MoU ini merupakan upaya perbaruan dari kerja sama sebelumnya. Pada tahun 2009, FKH Unair sudah menandatangani kerja sama dengan Dinas Peternakan. Namun, pada tahun 2011, Dinas Peternakan berganti nama menjadi Direktorat Jenderal Peternakan dan Kesehatan Hewan. Departemen Pertanian yang membawahi Dirjen Peternakan dan Kesehatan juga turut berganti nama menjadi Kementerian Pertanian. Karena itu, Ditjennak Keswan kemudian mengusulkan untuk memperbarui kerja sama sebelumnya, sekaligus memasukkan empat FKH lain dalam kerja sama tersebut. Lima FKH tersebut, termasuk Unair, terpilih karena dianggap sebagai FKH yang sudah mapan dan memiliki banyak ahli, serta peduli terhadap masalah kesehatan hewan di Indonesia.

Dalam acara penandatanganan tersebut, hadir Dirjennak Keswan Ir. Syukur Iwantoro, MS., MBA., perwakilan FKH IPB Dr. Fadjar Satrija, Pembantu Dekan I FKH UGM Prof. Dr. Wayan T. Artama, drh., Dekan FKH Udayana Prof. Dr. I Made Damriyasa, drh., MS., dan Dekan FKH Unsyiah Dr. Muhammad Hambal, drh. Wakil Dekan I FKH Unair Dr. Suwarno, M.Si., drh., menjelaskan, tujuan kerja sama ini utamanya adalah pengembangan sumber daya manusia, penelitian di bidang ekologi dan kesehatan hewan, serta pengabdian pada masyarakat. Program utama yang diusung oleh Ditjennak Keswan adalah pemberantasan penyakit zoonosis.

Ditjennak Keswan telah  menetapkan dua belas penyakit zoonosis yang harus diberantas, beberapa di antaranya adalah rabies, anthrax, brucella, salmunellosis, new castle disease, leptospirosis, anthrax, dan avian influenza. FKH Unair sebagai salah satu FKH terbaik di Indonesia telah memfokuskan penelitian pada beberapa penyakit zoonosis, yaitu avian influenza, rabies, brucella, dan rabies.

“Kami memilih untuk berfokus pada penyakit-penyakit tersebut tersebut karena disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan masyarakat Jawa Timur. Penyakit zoonosis yang sering dihadapi oleh peternak Jawa Timur adalah avian influenza, rabies, dan brucellosis. Selain itu, kami juga meneliti beberapa penyakit yang bukan prioritas Ditjennak Keswan, tapi yang dibutuhkan oleh peternak, seperti infectious bronchitis (IB) dan infectious brusal disease (IDB). Hasilnya, hingga saat ini, FKH Unair berhasil mengembangkan beberapa seed vaccine dan diagnostic kit, antara lain avian influenza, brucella, infectious brusal disease, dan infectious bronchitis,” ungkap Suwarno.

Third Announcement

International Seminar

STRATEGY TO MANAGE BIO-ECO-HEALTH SYSTEM

FOR STABILIZING ANIMAL HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY

TO SUPPORT PUBLIC HEALTH

19 – 20 June 2012 – JW Marriott Hotel Surabaya

Hosted by:

Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Universitas Airlangga

I-MHERE Project Sub Component B.2.c

BACKGROUND

Since the 1950s, veterinary work has expanded from a concern with the health and diseases of individual animals, to groups of animals (herd and flock health), people (public health), business economics (which grew out of herd health), and, since at least the 1990s, the ecosystems that are the context for health and wellbeing of all animals and humans (ecosystem health). Ecohealth can be defined as systemic, participatory approaches to understanding and promoting heath and wellbeing in the context of social and ecological interactions.

From its inception, a sense of urgency and conflict has accompanied the field of ecosystem health; veterinarians have been caught up in debates over such issues as genetically modified organisms, the emergence of such diseases as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), avian influenza, severe acute respiratory sysndrome (SARS), the increasing frequency and destructiveness of extreme weather events, and the loss of wild species that are important both ecologically and as food sources (the collapse of ocean fisheries, for example).

These kinds of issues cannot be contained within any disciplinary or institutional boundaries. One solution, embedded in the way many of our institutions are structured (invoking disciplinary boundaries between and within medicine, health, agriculture, environment, economics) has been for each discipline to do its own excellent work, and then expect decisionmakers in government and business to synthesize competing claims into coherent, long-term solutions.

This seminar is an occasional event partly funded by Directorate General of Higher Education’s Indonesia Managing Higher Education for relevance and Efficiency (I-MHERE) Project.
