Abstract

This study aims to determine how long fermented sugarcane tops (Saccharum officinarum L.) and tithonia (Tithonia diversifolia) wafers can be stored. This study used a completely randomized design with four treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of T1 (15 days storage duration), T2 (30 days storage duration), T3 (45 days storage duration), and T4 (60 days storage duration). The variables measured were color, aroma, texture, density, water absorption, and total fungal colonies. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using the variance analysis method, and the differences in the means of each treatment were further tested using the Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results of the analysis showed that shelf life had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on color, aroma, texture, water absorption, and total fungal colonies but gave no significant effect (P>0.05) on wafer density. The average results of color (3.3 - 3.7), aroma (3.2 - 3.6), texture (3.1 - 3.6), density (0.60 - 0.71 g/cm3), water absorption (72.8 - 85.3%) and total fungal colonies (1.10 x 102 CFU/ml to 3.03 x 102 CFU/ml). The results of this study indicate that 60 days of storage on sugarcane tops and tithonia wafers can still maintain the physical quality of wafers in terms of color, aroma, texture, water absorption, and total fungal colonies.

Abstract

Early pregnancy detection in beef cattle is a crucial aspect of reproductive management to enhance livestock reproductive efficiency. Delays in pregnancy detection can result in prolonged open days and reduced farm productivity. This activity aimed to educate and implement the use of a urine-based pregnancy test kit for beef cattle at Nusa Fauna Cattle Farm in Padang. The program was conducted at Nusa Fauna Cattle Farm, Pauh District, Padang City. The implementation methods included socialization, demonstration of test kit usage, and direct assistance in field application. The evaluation was conducted through interviews and questionnaires to assess the level of understanding and the effectiveness of test kit implementation in reproductive management. The results indicated increased farmers' knowledge, understanding, and skills in independently using the test kit. Before the education program, farmers relied on rectal palpation performed by veterinary personnel, which has limitations in detecting early-stage pregnancy. After the training, farmers were able to use the test kit independently. Implementing the test kit also facilitated faster pregnancy detection, allowing farmers to take strategic actions in livestock reproductive programs. This activity concludes that education and implementing pregnancy test kit technology can improve livestock reproductive efficiency by enabling earlier pregnancy detection. Applying this technology at the smallholder farming level can reduce open days and increase the success rate of artificial insemination (AI) in beef cattle.
