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

The Kamang Duck is a local livestock breed from West Sumatra, originating from the Kamang region in West Sumatra. Kamang ducks can produce quality eggs and tender meat, contributing to Indonesia's food security. Duck farming is one of the livestock sectors with significant development potential, especially in Indonesia, where poultry meat consumption is high. To optimize farming ventures, financial analysis is a crucial aspect for evaluating profitability, efficiency, and business to develop duck farming. The research was conducted at Dapur Bundo N-3 in Nagari Kamang, Agam Regency, using a survey method presented descriptively in tables and figures. The study aims to determine the financial value of Kamang duck farming by analyzing costs, revenues, income, and the R/C ratio. The R/C ratio result of 1.53 indicates that, with a value greater than 1, this meat duck farming business is feasible. A hybrid duck farming business with an R/C ratio over 1 is suitable for further development. The BEP (Break-Even Point) production value of 72.06 kg indicates the level of production at which the meat duck farming operation breaks even, with no profit or loss. This is a crucial metric for understanding the minimum production required to sustain the business. The study's actual production of meat ducks was 130 kg. The research conducted at Dapur Bundo N-3 on the Kamang duck business, with a stock of 100 ducks and a rearing period of seven (7) weeks from DOD (Day-Old Ducks), yielded the following results: total rearing cost of Rp 3,817,473, total revenue of Rp 5,850,000, and profit of Rp 2,032,527. The Kamang broiler duck farming business, on a scale of 100 ducks, is considered viable, with an R/C ratio of 1.53.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of incorporating tannin-rich mangrove fruit (Sonneratia alba) into Indigofera zollingeriana-based rations on in vitro digestibility and rumen fermentation characteristics. Using a completely randomized design with four treatments (0%, 3%, 6%, and 9% S. alba) and four replicates, we evaluated dry matter digestibility (DMD), organic matter digestibility (OMD), crude protein digestibility (CPD), crude fiber digestibility (CFD), crude fat digestibility, nitrogen-free extract (NFE), rumen pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA), and ammonia (NH₃) concentrations. Results revealed that moderate tannin inclusion (6%) improved CPD and nutrient protection without significantly impairing DMD or OMD. However, higher inclusion (9%) significantly reduced CFD, crude fat digestibility, NFE, VFA, and NH₃ concentrations (P<0.05 or P<0.01), indicating suppressed microbial activity. These findings suggest that while S. alba tannins can effectively reduce ruminal protein degradation and modulate fermentation, excessive inclusion negatively impacts overall feed digestibility. The optimal inclusion rate was identified at 6%, balancing protein protection and fermentation efficiency. This study supports the strategic use of plant-based tannins as a feed additive to enhance protein utilization and reduce nitrogen losses in ruminant diets.

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.
