Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of supplementing ruminant feed with gambir leaf extract (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) from Pangkalan, West Sumatra, as a natural feed additive on the in vitro digestibility of crude fat, crude fiber, and nitrogen-free extract (NFE). The study used a completely randomized design with four treatments: T0 (control, without extract), T1 (0.5% gambir extract), T2 (1% gambir extract), and T3 (2% gambir extract). The parameters observed included crude fat, crude fiber, and NFE digestibility. The results showed that gambir leaf extract supplementation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on all parameters tested. Treatment T3 provided the highest digestibility values, namely crude fat 66.47%, crude fiber 66.45%, and NFE 67.99%, compared to the control (64.17%, 64.52%, and 65.70%). This increase is thought to be due to the bioactive content of gambir extract, namely tannins (64.84%), catechins (60.11%), and saponins (0.96%), which work synergistically to modulate rumen microbes, protect nutrients from excessive degradation, and increase fermentation efficiency. In conclusion, gambir leaf extract from Pangkalan has the potential to be a natural feed additive that improves nutrient digestibility in ruminants. These results support utilizing local phytochemical-based resources for feed efficiency and sustainable livestock farming.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the interaction between Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) and high-tannin mangrove fruit extract (Sonneratia alba) on the in vitro digestibility of dairy cattle feed fiber fractions. The experimental design used a completely randomized factorial 3×4 pattern with three replicates. The first factor was the PFAD level (0%, 3%, 6%) and the second factor was the mangrove fruit extract dose (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%). Fermentation was carried out using the Tilley and Terry (1963) rumen stage method using fresh goat rumen fluid. The parameters observed included the digestibility of neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), hemicellulose, and cellulose. The results showed that PFAD, mangrove fruit extract, and their interaction had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the digestibility of NDF and cellulose, but did not have a significant effect on ADF and hemicellulose. The combination of 3% PFAD and 0.5–1% extract provided the highest digestibility. Increasing PFAD and tannin reduced digestibility due to the fat coating effect and the formation of tannin complexes with structural carbohydrates. The combination of PFAD and mangrove tannin can be optimized as a functional feed additive based on local resources that improves rumen fermentation efficiency without reducing fiber digestibility.

Abstract

Qur’anic literacy from an early age holds a crucial role in shaping the Islamic character of students, particularly at the elementary education level. However, the memorization achievements of Qur’an among students in public elementary schools remain varied and suboptimal. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Tikrar method in improving Qur’an memorization skills among students at SDN 41 Padang. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a nonequivalent control group. A total of 32 students were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through pretest and posttest memorization assessments and analyzed using the paired sample t-test with SPSS. The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group (p-value = 0.000), indicating that the Tikrar method is effective in enhancing Qur’an memorization among public elementary school students. This study contributes to the reinforcement of Qur’anic literacy in schools and offers practical guidance in implementing a structured memorization method. It concludes that the Tikrar method can serve as an effective learning strategy to support the development of Islamic character education. Further research is recommended to be conducted over a longer period and to incorporate digital media to optimize students' memorization retention.

Abstract

Indigofera zollingeriana berpotensi sebagai sumber protein pengganti konsentrat, namun kualitas nutrisinya sangat dipengaruhi oleh interval defoliasi. Semakin tua umur tanaman, kandungan serat meningkat sementara protein dan kecernaan menurun, sehingga perlu ditentukan waktu defoliasi yang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh interval defoliasi terhadap kualitas nutrisi Indigofera zollingeriana. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah eksperimen dengan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) tiga perlakuan interval defoliasi yaitu T1 = interval defoliasi 50 hari, T2 = interval 65 hari, dan T3 = interval 80 hari, masing-masing dengan lima ulangan. Parameter yang diamati kandungan bahan kering, bahan organik, protein kasar, lemak kasar, serat kasar, evaluasi kecernaan secara in-vitro meliputi kecernaan bahan kering dan kecernaan bahan organik. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan Analisis of Varience (ANOVA) dan perbedaan antar perlakuan menggunakan uji lanjut Duncan Multiple Test (DMRT). Hasil analisis ragam menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan (P<0,05) terhadap kandungan bahan kering, bahan organik, protein kasar, lemak kasar, serat kasar, kecernaan bahan kering dan bahan organik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interval defoliasi 50 hari memberikan kandungan protein kasar tertinggi (27,17%) dan nilai kecernaan bahan kering (64,79%). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa interval defoliasi 50 hari memberikan hasil kualitas I. zollingeriana terbaik sebagai sumber protein yang berasal dari hijauan di BPTU HPT Padang Mengatas.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of storage duration on the physical properties of complete feed wafers supplemented with mangrove fruit as a tannin source and palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) as an energy source, as well as in vitro rumen fluid characteristics. A completely randomized design was used with four storage duration treatments: 15 days (T1), 30 days (T2), 45 days (T3), and 60 days (T4), with five replications. The feed ingredients consisted of fermented sugarcane tops, Tithonia diversifolia, concentrate, mangrove fruit, and PFAD, which were processed into complete feed wafers. The observed parameters included the physical properties of the wafers, namely aroma, texture, color, water absorption, and density, as well as rumen fluid characteristics, namely total volatile fatty acid (VFA), pH, and ammonia (NH3). The results showed that increasing storage duration tended to decrease total VFA from 123.12 ± 2.28 mM in T1 to 121.10 ± 2.01 mM in T4, although the values remained relatively stable. The rumen fluid pH was also relatively uniform, ranging from 6.82 ± 0.13 to 6.88 ± 0.13. NH3 concentration decreased with increasing storage duration, from 21.28 ± 0.54 mg/100 mL in T1 to 18.13 ± 1.51 mg/100 mL in T4. Storage duration had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the aroma, texture, or color of the wafers, indicating that their physical quality was maintained during storage. Based on these results, it can be concluded that complete feed wafers supplemented with mangrove fruit and PFAD maintained their physical quality and rumen fermentation stability for up to 60 days of storage.
