Increased livestock productivity is largely determined by the availability of sufficient forage. Good forage is determined by digestibility, which is related to physical quality. This study aims to determine the physical quality of several types of grass planted with Arachis legumes and the provision of organic fertilizer. This study used a Randomized Block Design with a factorial pattern consisting of 3 types of grass planted with Arachis legumes (factor A) and fertilizing 2 types of solid and liquid organic fertilizer (factor B) with 3 replications. The treatment combinations are: R1C (Paspalum notatum with Arachis pintoi+Compost), R1B (Paspalum notatum with Arachis pintoi+Biourine), R2C (Paspalum conyugatum with Arachis pintoi + Compost), R2B (Paspalum conyugatum with Arachis pintoi +Biourine), R3C (Axonopus compresus with Arachis pintoi+Compost), R3B (Axonopus compresus with Arachis pintoi+Biourine). The results showed no significant difference (P>0.05) both in the mixture of some grass plants with Arachis pintoi and the provision of organic fertilizer on the physical quality of forage. In planting a mixture of Axonopus comprsus grass with Arachis pintoi showed average dry matter (DM), water regain capacity (WRC), and water solubility (WS). Whereas compost gets higher average values than biourine for dry matter, WRC and WS. The combination of mixed planting and fertilizing, compost showed the highest average, especially water solubility (WS). From this research it can be concluded planting a mixture of grass and legumes fed with compost on average is better for the physical quality of the grass, but not significantly different (P>0.05) from all treatments.
One of the maintenance management of Broilers is the regulation of cage density. In the tropics, cage density affects comfort in a cage, high temperature and humidity are the main causes of stress in chickens. Cages with in apropriate densities have a negative impact on meat production and quality performance. The study aims to identify cage density to the quality of broiler chicken meat. The study used a completely randomized design with 3 treatments, namely density 8, 10 and 12 tails per square meter, each treatment was repeated tree times. The result showed that the difference in cage density in the maintenance of broiler chicken up to the age of fine weeks did not affect meat quality. It is recomended maintenance with a density of 12 tails broiler chicken up to age of 5 weeks can be done without affecting the quality of meat.
Experts have widely carried out research on cattle since 1960. However, regarding the efficiency of the cattle marketing channel in Bali, especially in the livestock group in the village of Ayunan, it is necessary to study its efficiency for that researcher conducted research to know the efficiency of marketing cattle in Bali. Using the census method, 40 farmers consisted of two livestock groups, namely the Karang Ayu livestock group and the Karya livestock group, each consisting of 20 people. Instruments or measuring tools used in the interview guide to help obtain answers from respondents are structured and closed questionnaires for open-ended questions. The results showed four channels formed from the marketing system of cattle breeds in Bali, namely marketing channel i. Breeders sell livestock to other farmers in one village (12.5%), Marketing Channel ii. Breeders sell directly to animal markets (7.5%). %), Channel iii Farmers sell livestock to blank in the cattle barn (74.5%), and IV Farmers sell livestock to blank in the animal market (5.5%). With marketing efficiency for male seeds for each channel of 0; 2.57; 1.18, and 1.61, while the marketing efficiency in each channel for female cattle is: 0;3.53; 1.50, and 1.92. It is said that the most effective marketing channel for cattle breeds in Bali is through my marketing, namely the breeders selling the cow breeds in the stables and those who buy them around the farm because they do not incur marketing costs.
Japanese quail (Coturnix-coturnix japonica) has great potential to be developed as an alternative source of cheap animal protein. Generally, quail breeders use commercial rations. The problem is that commercial rations are expensive. From an economic perspective, the cost of the ration is very high, reaching 70% of the total cost of production. To reduce the cost of ration and to maintain the nutritional quality, it is tried to substitute commercial rations using feed ingredients that have good nutritional content and the price is cheap by using waste bean sprouts. The purpose of this study was to determine the chemical quality of commercial quail laying rations substituted with fermented waste bean sprouts. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD). The treatment consisted of substituting 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% waste bean sprouts in the commercial quail laying ration. From the research results obtained that the substitution of fermented waste bean sprouts in commercial quail laying rations has a very significant effect (P<0.01) on dry matter, water content, ash content and organic matter. Substitution of waste bean sprouts in quail laying rations up to the level of 10% produces the lowest ash content and water content and meets the SNI standard, as well as the highest organic matter content of the ration
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
