Abstract

Buffaloes in different regions of Indonesia exhibit unique physical characteristics influenced by genetics and environment, making them an important subject for morphological and condition assessments. This study aims to determine the qualitative traits and body condition score buffaloes in Mount Sangiang. This research is a descriptive observational study that involves both qualitative and/or quantitative sampling in the field, with a descriptive explanation using purposive sampling method. The study material includes 30 buffaloes, consisting of 15 males and 15 females, each of which was previously marked with identification tags. The results show that buffaloes in Mount Sangiang exhibit qualitative traits such as gray, black, and blonde hair colors; horn shapes of 'kerung' and 'baplang'; tail colors of black and brown; lower leg colors of white and pink; the presence of 1, 2, 3, and 4 whorls; flat and curved dorsal lines; and 2 white collar lines. The BCS for buffaloes in Mount Sangiang is 3 for male buffalo calf, young males, adult males, female buffalo calf, and heifers, while adult females have a BCS of 4.

Abstract

The rising demand for sustainable and welfare-conscious poultry production has driven renewed interest in forage-based feeding systems. This systematic review explores the nutritional and functional roles of various forage types such as legumes, grasses, and aquatic plants in poultry diets. The review synthesizes evidence from recent Scopus-indexed publications, focusing on nutrient composition, bioactive properties, performance outcomes, and potential limitations. Forages provide protein, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that can enhance feed efficiency, immunity, gut health, and product quality in poultry. Their integration also aligns with circular agriculture principles and improves animal welfare through behavioral enrichment. However, the practical adoption of forage in poultry systems is constrained by variability in nutritional value, the presence of anti-nutritional factors (ANFs), low digestibility, and seasonal availability. Strategies such as fermentation, enzyme supplementation, and preservation techniques offer promising solutions to these challenges. This review identifies key research gaps, including the need for standardization of forage nutritional profiles, optimal inclusion rates, and long-term health impacts. Future directions highlight the potential of integrating precision nutrition technologies and policy support to enhance forage-based systems. Overall, forage represents a valuable component of sustainable poultry feeding strategies that balance performance, welfare, and environmental stewardship.

Abstract

The adaptive capacity of animals is a crucial factor in maintaining survival and productivity, particularly within sustainable livestock systems in tropical regions under climatic stress. This study aimed to analyze the physiological responses and daily behavioral patterns of Ettawa Crossbred (PE) goats to the environmental conditions of Mount Sangiang, Wera District, Bima Regency. The research was conducted using an observational descriptive approach with samples of PE goats from various age groups and sexes. Physiological parameters observed included body temperature, respiratory rate, and heart rate, while behavioral aspects covered feeding, drinking, resting, exploration, and social interaction. The results showed that PE goats were able to maintain body temperature within the normal range (36–38°C), even when daytime environmental temperatures reached 32°C. Adjustments in respiratory rate and heart rate served as the primary mechanisms for coping with heat stress, with younger goats tending to be more sensitive than adults. In terms of behavior, PE goats grazed in the morning and afternoon when temperatures were cooler, while midday was used for resting and drinking to minimize the risk of heat stress. Exploration of the savanna was carried out to meet feed requirements, while social interactions occurred more frequently at night in the cooler and more humid coastal areas. Overall, PE goats demonstrated strong physiological and behavioral adaptability to the environmental conditions of Mount Sangiang.
