Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant present in tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits. Present research was carried out to evaluate lycopene and nitrogen retention and crude fiber (CF) digestibility of steaming tomatoes waste powder which was combined with oil. Tomatoes waste in this experiment were local fresh tomato rejected from tomato field around West Sumatera province, Indonesia. The experimental factors were included the type of oil (palm and coconut oils) and dosage of oils (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 1.25 %), and each treatment was replicated three times. The results indicated there was an interaction between the type of oil and dosage of oil on lycopene retention, and CF digestibility, while the type of oil and dosage of oil affected lycopene retention significantly. The dosage of oil also influenced lycopene retention, nitrogen retention, CF digestibility significantly. The addition of coconut oil in steaming tomato waste powder increased lycopene and nitrogen retention, and CF digestibility higher than the addition of palm oil to steaming tomato waste powder in broiler chickens. The lycopene and nitrogen retention, and CF digestibility of steaming tomato waste powder added 0.5% coconut oil was the best level for lycopene and nitrogen retention, and CF digestibility in broiler chickens.

R ejected tomatoes are tomatoes for consumption as a result of sorting, tomatoes that are discarded by farmers when overproduction, and tomatoes that are not harvested at the seventh and eighth harvests. The tomatoes are still in good condition and nutrition. According to Sahin et al.

One of the important things in determining the quality of livestock products is feed ingredients. The quality of Poultry products will be influenced by the nutrient intake provided. Tomato reject is one of the special ingredients of a feed because it contains high lycopene. Lycopene is well known as an antioxidant, also it can lower cholesterol content. However, lycopene still in the matrix of tomato tissue and trans-form lycopene what difficult to digest and absorb in the body. So, in this paper presents the extent to which the development of research utilization of tomatoes high lycopene as poultry feed. As well as opening more widely how to increase the value of lycopene tomatoes in poultry products.

Inseminasi Buatan menjadi salah satu teknologi reproduksi untuk peningkatan populasi sapi pedaging dengan cara meningkatkan perbaikan mutu genetik ternak, sehingga dalam waktu pendek dapat menghasilkan anak dengan kualitas baik dalam jumlah yang besar dengan memanfaatkan pejantan unggul. Teknologi IB mulai menjadi trend  ditingkat peternak sapi pedaging. Namun evaluasi tingkat keberhasilannya belum banyak diketahui. Berdasarkan trend teknologi IB tersebut maka dilakukan evaluasi tingkat keberhasilan teknologi inseminasi buatan pada sapi pedaging di Desa Sawojajar, Kecamatan Kotabumi. Metode penelitian dilakukan adalah metode penelitian deskriptif dan pengumpulan data dilakukan menurut metode purposive sampling dengan cara pengisian kuisioner kepada peternak dan inseminator. Variabel yang diamati yakni hasil persepsi hasil adopsi teknologi IB, data jumlah ternak di tiga kelompok ternak, jumlah ternak aseptor, nilai S/C, dan tingkat kebuntingan. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini yakni Adopsi teknologi  IB pada ternak sapi pedaging di Desa Sawojajar menunjukkan angka Service per Conception (S/C) 3,4 dan Conception Rate (CR) 3,7% yang dinilai masih rendah dan perlu ditingkatkan. Ada empat aspek yang diduga menyebabkan rendahnya tingkat keberhasilan teknologi IB yakni semen pejantan, kesuburan ternak betina, keterampilan inseminator, dan pengetahuan peternak dalam mengidentifikasi fase estrus pada ternak.
