Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of feeding dry water hyacinth (CEGK) on the quality of carcass and non-carcass Muscovy male ducks, as well as determining the appropriate level of CEGK inclusion. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four levels of CEGK inclusion: 0% (control), 5%, 10%, and 15%, each with five replications. The variables observed included live weight, slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, weight without feathers, main parts of the carcass (breast, thighs, wings, back), and non-carcass parts (head, neck, feathers, blood, entrails, feet). Ducks are slaughtered at 145 days of age. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that CEGK supplementation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on live weight and weight without feathers, but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, main parts of the carcass, or non-carcass parts. The highest live weight was achieved at an inclusion level of 15% (1700 g), followed by 10% (1663 g), while the highest weight without feathers was also at 15% (1555 g). Although live weight is highest at 15%, an inclusion rate of 10% is recommended as it shows better feed efficiency and a relatively higher carcass percentage trend than 15%, thereby providing an optimal balance between growth performance and carcass quality and supporting the economical use of local feed sources.

Abstract

The success of male muscovy cultivation is mainly reflected in production performance. Feed management is a determining factor for this success. This study aims to analyze the effect of feed containing dried water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) on the performance of male Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata) and determine the optimal inclusion level.The research was conducted experimentally using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatments applied were P0 (diet + 0% dried water hyacinth), P1 (diet + 5% dried water hyacinth), P2 (diet + 10% dried water hyacinth), and P3 (diet + 15% dried water hyacinth). The variables observed included daily feed intake, average daily gain (ADG), feed efficiency, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and feed cost per gain (FC/G). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and if significant differences were found, Duncan’s multiple range test was performed. The results showed that the inclusion of dried water hyacinth had a significant effect on all observed variables. The 10% inclusion level (P2) produced the best results, with higher feed intake, optimal ADG, highest feed efficiency, lowest FCR, and the lowest feed cost per kilogram of weight gain. The results demonstrate that including dried water hyacinth at levels up to 10% improves the performance of male Muscovy ducks and offers a cost-effective feeding strategy.

Abstract

Small-scale duck farming operations face challenges posed by high feed costs and low utilization of local organic waste, which has the potential to serve as an alternative feed ingredient. This Student Creativity Program (PKM) aims to apply fermentation technology to catfish waste and banana stems as innovative feed ingredients in duck rations to improve the efficiency of the farming operations at Fitria Farm. Activities were carried out through a participatory approach that included identifying partner needs, formulating rations based on fermented waste, training in fermentation technology, implementing feed administration, and evaluating production performance and business economics. Catfish waste was utilized as a protein source, while banana stems were fermented to improve fiber digestibility and nutrient content. The fermentation process utilized local microorganism bioactivators (MOL) over a specific period to produce feed of higher quality. Implementation results show that the use of fermented feed is able to improve feed palatability, feed conversion efficiency, and body weight gain in entog, as well as reduce feed costs compared to conventional feed. In addition, this activity enhances partners’ knowledge and skills in processing agricultural and fishery waste into economically valuable feed. Conclusion the technology for fermenting catfish waste and banana stems has the potential to serve as a model for sustainable feed innovation that supports the strengthening of local-resource-based duck farming operations.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of turmeric extract (Curcuma domestica) supplementation in drinking water on the production performance and egg quality of Isa Brown laying hens (Gallus gallus domesticus). A completely randomized design (CRD) was applied with 60 Isa Brown layer-phase hens, five treatments (P0: 0%, P1: 1%, P2: 2%, P3: 3%, P4: 4% turmeric extract), and four replicates. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results showed that turmeric extract supplementation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), water intake, and Hen Day Production (HDP). The lowest FCR was observed in P2 (2.35 ± 0.26), the highest HDP in P1 (69.75 ± 11.58%), and water intake decreased as turmeric extract concentration increased, with P0 showing the highest intake (7,132.50 ± 187.68 mL). Turmeric extract also significantly improved (p<0.05) egg weight, albumen thickness, and Haugh units. The highest egg weight was recorded in P4 (68.58 g), while the best albumen thickness (7.38 mm) and Haugh units (82.31) were found in P3. Feed intake, body weight gain, yolk percentage, albumen percentage, eggshell percentage, yolk thickness, eggshell thickness, and egg index were not significantly affected (p>0.05). It is concluded that turmeric extract supplementation at 3% in drinking water produces the best overall egg quality, while 4% yields the highest egg weight.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the potential of forage production and analyze its carrying capacity for the development of sheep farming in Majalengka Regency. The study was conducted through the identification of dominant types of forage fodder, as well as measurement of forage biomass production per hectare of data obtained from secondary data available from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) of Majalengka Regency. The method used is quantitative descriptive method and then the data obtained is analyzed to calculate the carrying capacity of the land based on the need for dry matter (BK) per sheep per year. The results showed that the Majalengka Regency area has a fairly high diversity of forage species, with the potential for forage biomass production reaching an average of 20-25 tons of fresh material/ha/year or equivalent to 4-5 tons of BK/ha/year. Assuming the consumption needs of sheep are around 1.5 kg BK/day, then each hectare of land can support around 7-9 sheep per year. This finding shows that Majalengka has the potential carrying capacity of natural forage and agricultural waste of rice and corn straw to support the sustainable development of sheep farming. Some sub-districts that fall into this category include Maja (3.35), Bantarujeg (3.13), Kertajati (2.43) and Majalengka (2.09). This high index value indicates that the region has great potential to become a center for sheep farming development, because feed is available in sufficient or even excess quantities. Sheep farming centers in 2024 still focus on areas including Sindang (2.44), Banjaran (2.20), Panyingkiran (1.88), Argapura (1.56), and Cigasong (1.36). The high LQ reflects that the livestock sector is one of the main focuses of the economy in the region despite the low feed carrying capacity. Optimizing forage utilization requires sustainable feed management such as the creation of a central feed warehouse located in two different places, namely in kertajati, Bantarujeg and maja for feed buffering in the central sheep cattle area so that it can be integrated with the smallholder farming system

Abstract

The ruminant livestock sector constitutes a critical component in ensuring food security and strengthening regional economies, thereby necessitating spatial analyses to identify its development potential. This study employed secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) of Majalengka Regency covering the period 2020–2024. The objective was to examine the spatial distribution and regionalization of ruminant livestock enterprises using the Location Quotient (LQ), Localization Index (LI), and Specialization Index (SI). The commodities analyzed comprised sheep, goats, cattle, and buffalo across sub-districts within the regency. The findings revealed that sheep represent the dominant commodity, characterized by consistently high LQ, LI, and SI values, thus establishing their role as the primary basis for regional livestock development. Goats demonstrated moderate index values, indicating potential as an alternative for expansion. Cattle exhibited relatively even distribution across sub-districts but were not identified as a leading commodity. Buffalo recorded the lowest index values, underscoring their role as a complementary species. These results underscore the importance of commodity-based planning, particularly emphasizing sheep development, to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the livestock sector in Majalengka Regency.
