ANALISIS KANDUNGAN MIKROPLASTIK PADA BEBEK (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) STUDI KAJIAN TINGKAT PENCEMARAN PLASTIK DI TERNAK UNGGAS AIR
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined microplastic content in the digestive tracts of domestic ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) in Indonesia, as free-ranging waterfowl are likely to be exposed to microplastic-contaminated waterways. Microplastics were detected in the ducks, providing evidence that plastic pollution has entered the poultry supply chain in affected regions. This appears to be one of the first studies documenting microplastics in waterfowl raised in plastic-contaminated environments.
Sampah plastik merupakan salah satu permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh bangsa Indonesia saat ini. Bukan hanya karena jumlahnya yang melimpah akan tetapi, akibat yang ditimbulkan berupa pencemaran lingkungan khususnya perairan yang mencakup sungai, danau dan laut. Bebek merupakan salah satu unggas air yang berpotensi pertama kali terkena paparan limbah mikroplastik. Sampai saat ini belum ada penelitian tentang kandungan mikroplastik pada saluran pencernaan bebek. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui adanya kontaminan mikroplastik dan kandungan mikroplastik pada saluran pencernaan unggas air bebek ( Anas platyrhynchos domesticus ) dan menganalisa efek mikroplastik terhadap pola perubahan manajemen pemeliharaan bebek. Metode yang digunakan adalah Metode Survey. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis statistic deskriptif dan t-test untuk memeriksa adanya perbedaan parametric. Pada pengamatan jumlah mikroplastik dilakukan dengan cara ekstraksi komponen biologi menggunakan larutan KOH 10 % pada sampel saluran pencernaan bebek dan pada sampel tanah/pasir menggunakan larutan NaCl pekat. Sampel bebek diambil berdasarkan wilayah pemeliharaannya. Wilayah I (kontrol) adalah wilayah dimana bebek yang dipelihara dengan sistim intensif, Wilayah II bebek dipelihara semi intensif di lingkungan dekat persawahan, Wilayah III Bebek dipelihara di lingkungan padat penduduknya. Hasil dari penelitian ini untuk sampel tanah/pasir pada wilayah I rata-rata jumlah mikroplastik (partikel/ml) 23,33, wilyah II : 67,78 dan wilayah III : 80. Jumlah rata-rata mikroplastik pada saluran pencernaan bebek (partikel/ bebek) pada wilayah I : 2,7, II : 6,7 dan III : 5,3. Kesimpulan adalah jumlah mikroplastik terbanyak diperoleh pada tanah di wilayah padat penduduknya. Pada kontrol masih ditemukan mikroplastik pada saluran pencernaan bebek.

Microplastic Quantification in Aquatic Birds: Biomonitoring the Environmental Health of the Panjkora River Freshwater Ecosystem in Pakistan
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers raised ducks on the banks of the Panjkora River in Pakistan for over four months to assess microplastic contamination in a freshwater ecosystem through biomonitoring. They found microplastics present in the gastrointestinal tracts of all sampled birds, with fibers and fragments being the most common types, primarily composed of polyethylene and polypropylene. The study demonstrates that aquatic birds can serve as effective biological indicators of microplastic pollution levels in river systems.
Evaluation of microplastics and metal accumulation in domestic ducks (Anas platyrhynchos f. domesticus) of a contaminated reservoir in Central Mexico
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined domestic ducks living near a contaminated reservoir in central Mexico and found nearly all birds had ingested microplastics, averaging about 155 suspected particles per individual. The ducks also showed signs of heavy metal contamination and poor body condition. The study provides baseline data linking microplastic and metal pollution in waterfowl to human activities around contaminated water bodies.
The Evidence of Microplastic Contamination in Central Javanese Local Ducks from Intensive Animal Husbandry
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastic contamination was confirmed in the intestinal tracts of farmed ducks across five Indonesian cities, with filament-type microplastics detected in high quantities, likely ingested through contaminated fish feed and water. This finding demonstrates that microplastics move through agricultural food animal systems, suggesting a potential human dietary exposure route through poultry products.
Micro- and mesoplastic contaminants in marine diving ducks: A first assessments from the coast of Japan
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers conducted the first assessment of plastic contamination in two species of mollusk-eating seaducks wintering along Japan's Pacific coast and found microplastics in all ten birds examined. The vast majority of particles were tiny fragments under 200 micrometers, a size class previously overlooked in seaduck studies, suggesting these birds ingest microplastics primarily through their contaminated prey.
Identification of microplastics in the digestive tract of Great Egret (Egretta alba) in Percut Sei Tuan, North Sumatra
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers examined the digestive tracts of great egrets in Percut Sei Tuan, North Sumatra, and found 15 microplastic particles in their stomachs and 13 in their intestines, with fibers being the most common type. The study suggests that these waterbirds are accumulating microplastics from their aquatic feeding habitats, reflecting significant plastic pollution in the local environment.
