A research on dietary inclusion of urea-impregnated zeolite as slow-release urea (SRU) agent had been conducted to reveal its effect on ruminal fermentation characteristics in local lambs. The research used 24 heads of 7-8 mo old of local male lambs with (20.12±2.1 kg BW) designed upon a randomized block design. Treatments consisted of diets contained no urea, urea, zeolite, and urea-impregnated zeolite. The collected data was analyzed with UNIANOVA and Duncan's multiple-range test. Results indicated that feeding no urea, zeolite, or urea-impregnated zeolite ration produced lower ruminal ammonia nitrogen than feeding urea ration (P<0.05). Feeding zeolite ration produced lower ruminal pH than feeding urea ration (P<0.05). Despite total VFAs were similar across the treatments, feeding urea-impregnated zeolite ration produced lower ruminal acetate, acetate to propionate ratio, or methane production than feeding urea ration (P<0.05). Feeding urea ration produced the lowest molar proportion of branch-chained VFAs (P<0.05). Feeding urea ration produced higher plasma urea concentration than feeding no urea ration (2.75 mM vs. 2.16 mM; P<0.05). In conclusion, zeolite or urea-impregnated zeolite as slow-release ammonia or SRU agent was potential in decreasing ruminal ammonia, pH, acetate to propionate ratio, methane, and maintaining low plasma urea within its physiological range.
This study was aimed at assessing the effects of inclusion of betel leaf extract solution in ration on the percentage of carcass parts of male local ducks. The study was conducted at the Poulty Farm of department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, Djuanda University, Bogor from June to August 2016. Twenty-four male local ducks aged 2 weeks with average body weight of 450 g were used. The ducks were alocated into battery pens (150 cm x 40 cm) and fed BR-21E ration and betel leaf extract solution. Drinking water was given ad libitum. A completly randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates was used. Treatments consisted of 100% comercial feed (R1) , comercial feed +2.5% piper betel solution (R2), commercial feed+5.0% piper betel solution (R3), and commercial feed + 7,5% piper betel solution (R4). Treatments were given at the second week following the adaption period. Data were subjected to an analysis of variance and a Duncan test. Result showed that the inclusion of betel leaf extract of 2.5, 5, 7.5% in the ration gave significant effects (P<0.05) on the percentage of carcass, wing, and tigh meat but not (P>0,05) on the percentage of back, breast and its parts, thigh, skin and femur. It was recommended that the inclusion of betel leaf extract in the ration be done by 5% in order to obtain high percentage of and more economical carcass, wing and thigh.Keywords : percentage of carcass part, male local duck, piper betle linn leaf solution
This study aims to examine the application of HACCP in the glossy noodle (mi glosor) home industry in CV Taruna located in Bogor City by analyzing the stages of work activities in glossy noodle producers. Evaluation of the application of HACCP was carried out using standards recommended by the National Standards Agency (BSN) in 1999. This study began by analyzing the application of Good Processed Food Production Methods (CPPB) that were applied at CV Taruna. The application of CP Taruna CV Taruna is at level 4 which is the basic assessment in improving the application of HACCP in this small business. The next step is to analyze the flow diagram of the process of making glossy noodles and the determination of critical control points, critical limits, monitoring and preventive measures. There are 8 critical control points in the process of making glossy noodles. In the final stage, documentation and monitoring are made to control the implementation of the HACCP system that is run. The results of this study provide several recommendations for improving the application of HACCP in the process of producing glossy noodles at CV Taruna to improve its food safety application program.
The study aimed to identify characteristics of beef cattle farmers along the street corridor of Southern West Java. The study used a survey method in which purposive sampling technique was applied to collect data from 13 sub-districts of five districts along the street corridor of Southern West Java. Result of the study showed that eight categories of cattle farmers with their respective characteristics, namely: 1) the age of farmers, in the productive category (91%); 2) the level of education, mostly at the level of elementary school education (62%); 3) farming experience, most experience for 11-20 years (30%); 4) the nature of livestock business, is a side business (70.8%); 5) number of family dependents, with the highest number of three family dependents (32%); 6) livestock ownership, is their-self owned (67%); 7) cattle origin, with own purchases namely 46%, and 8) business scale, with many livestock owned by 1-3 beef or 50%.
This study was aimed at assessing the effects of the inclusion of piper betle leaf and torch ginger flower solution in commercial ration on the percentages of carcass and its parts of male local ducks. The study was conducted from June to August 2016 at Poultry Laboratory of Animal Science Study Program, Faculty of Agriculture, Djuanda University, Bogor. Twenty-four male local ducks aged 2 weeks with average initial body weight of 450 ± 53.04 g were used. A completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates was used. Treatments consisted of 100% commercial ration (R0), commercial ration +2.5% piper betle leaf solution + 2.5% torch ginger flower solution (R1), commercial ration+ 5.0% piper betle leaf solution+ 2.5% torch ginger flower solution (R2), and commercial ration + 7.5% piper betle leaf solution + 2.5% torch ginger flower solution (R3). Measurements were taken onlive weight, the percentages of carcass, breast, wings, thigh, and back. Data were subjected to an analysis of variance and a Duncan test. Results showed that the inclusion of piper betle leaf and torch ginger flower solution in the rations of male local ducks gave significant effects (P<0.05) on the percentages of wings and thigh. Treatments were also found to maintain the percentages of breast and back. The inclusion of 2,5% piper betle leaf solution and 2,5% torch ginger flower solution in ration was also found to increase the percentage of thigh of male local ducks. It was recommended that 2,5% piper betle leaf and torch ginger flower solution be included in ration to result in higher percentages of and more economical wings and thigh.Key words: Betle leaf, ginger flower , male local duck, percentage of thigh.
