One of several factors that can decrease productivity of laying chicken is health problems caused by worm parasite (helminthiasis). The aim of this research is to identify the diversity of worm parasites in laying chicken in Jember District. Obtained information on worm parasite species can be used as a database for prevention and treatment strategies of helminthiasis in laying chicken in Jember District. One-hundred-and fifty laying chicken excreta samples were randomly collected in the Jember area which was started from July to August 2020. Identification of worm species diversity was carried out by examining worm eggs found in excreta samples using the sedimentation method and the Whitlock method performed at Balai Besar Veteriner (BBVet) Wates. Based on the results of chicken excreta examination in Jember, worm parasite eggs were found from the nematode class consisting of Strongyloides sp.; Heterakis sp., and Ascaridia sp.
This study aims to determine the relationship between body size and bodyweight of the first lactating FH dairy cow. The research method used was linear regression analysis with 17 individuals at 27-29 months. The observed variables were body weight (BW), body length (BL), shoulder height (SH), and chest circumference (CC). The results showed that the correlation value between BW and BL was 0.6791 with the correlation regression equation Y = -724.63+7.68X1. SH and BW have a correlation value of 0.4043. CC with BW has a correlation value of 0.6863 with the regression equation Y = -733.455.90X1. The relationship between BL and SH has a correlation value of 0.2048. BL and CC have a correlation value of 0.4832. The conclusion of this study was that BW has a correlation of 67.91% to BL and 68.63% to CC of first lactating dairy cows, but does not have a correlation to SH. The more the BL and CC of the first lactating dairy cow increased, the more the weight of the dairy cow increased. BL does not have a correlation with SH and CC. SH has a 60.08% correlation with CC.
This study aimed to examine the relationship of feeding time on physiological response and the effect on the behavior of Javanese thin-tailed sheep. The total population of the study was 12 sheep. The treatment in this study is feeding time in the morning (W1) and evening (W2). Parameters that had been observed were heart rate, respiration rate, rectal temperature. This research design used was a completely randomized design. Feeding at different times did not affect daily body weight gain. However, feeding at different times affects the physiological response of thin tail sheep. W1 has a higher heart rate value at daytime of 80.65 ± 3.49 but has a lower value in the afternoon at 75.26 ± 4.20. Respiration rates W1 in the morning and evening were 32.06 ± 2.69 and 51.88 ± 3.43. Rectal temperature W1 lower in the morning at 37.76 ± 0.05. Physiological response of thin tail sheep which were fed with different feeding times indicated that the heart rate, respiration rate, and rectal temperature were still in normal condition.
The sustainability of the livestock business does not only depend on the success of the maintenance system which aims at increasing productivity, but also on the ability to process the resulting livestock waste. Livestock waste is the main source of quality degradation for the environment, this occurs due to the presence of ammonia and methane gas which is formed from the decomposition of organic matter. Ammonia along with other gases can cause acid rain, while methane gas causes a greenhouse effect. This community service partner is a farmer who is part of the "Sido Makmur" beef cattle group in Umbulrejo village, Umbulsari sub-district, Jember district. The purpose of this community service activity is to transfer knowledge and technology regarding livestock waste processing to be used as biogas. The selection of waste treatment topics is based on a situation analysis of the "Sido Makmur" livestock group. The results of the situation analysis show that generally livestock manure is not processed and is left around the stables and there are some group members who have difficulty buying LPG fuel because it is considered quite expensive. The implementation of the service consists of several activitie, the first was outreach activities, demonstrations / practices and assistance of community service activities. The results of the community service survey which have shown that the application of technology in the processing or utilization of livestock manure into a useful material that even has economic value will support the creation of an environmentally friendly livestock system or zerro waste system, besides that it will also improve the welfare of breeders through minimizing the cost of purchasing fuel.
Quantitative data are needed to identify and predict opportunities for increasing livestock productivity. The increase in livestock productivity can be assessed from the dimensions of the body of the livestock by measuring directly using morphometric. Morphometric data is an important parameter used to study livestock anatomy, productivity, growth rate, and performance quality of livestock. This research is focused on how to make a prototype development of a camera tool that can measure livestock morphometrics at a distance. The Camera use in mini camera with a raspberry pi as a microcontroller. And method to process the capture of data is Artificial Neural Network that downloaded from tensor flow. The result of this experiment show that the accuracy of the system is 50%. However, the camera has not been able to identify the object of farm animals correctly. There are several livestock objects detected as dog or cat. For the future work the library must be modified so it can only detect the sheep or goat so the morphometrics can be done.
