Abstract

This experiment aims to evaluate the effectiveness of inoculation and synergy of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and Trichoderma harzianum on the growth, productivity, and effectiveness of inoculation of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) forage in marginal land in the early phase of the first regrowth. This experiment used biological agents, mycorrhizae, and Trichoderma. This study used a completely randomised design with a one-way pattern consisting of four treatments and five replications, namely T0: without inoculation; T1: Mycorrhizae 300 spores/polybag; T2: Trichoderma 5 grams, 1 × 106 spores/gram; T3: Combination of Mycorrhizae 300 spores/polybag and Trichoderma 5 grams, 1 × 106 spores/gram. Data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results showed that AMF inoculation in treatment T1 had a significant effect (p <0.05) on plant length (cm), number of branches (strands per branch), fresh biomass of the canopy and the effectiveness of inoculation. Treatments T2 and T3 were not significantly different from T0 (p>0.05) regarding plant length, but the number of branches differed. T2 and T3 showed significant differences (p<0.05), which were higher than the control, but not with the results of fresh shoot biomass and inoculation effectiveness. T2 gave insignificant results and was not better than treatments T1 and T3. Mycorrhizal inoculation T1 positively responded to plant growth, fresh shoot biomass and inoculation effectiveness under drought stress, although the combination treatment T3 also provided good feedback.

Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of different dehydration methods, specifically oven drying (60°C) and freeze-drying (-20°C to 65°C), on the antioxidant activity of Cilembu sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) flour and its functional application in chicken meatballs. The antioxidant capacity was measured using the DPPH radical scavenging assay, with results showing that freeze-drying significantly preserved higher levels of bioactive compounds compared to thermal evaporation. Freeze-dried tuber flour reached a radical scavenging activity of 55.74 mg/ml, and when applied to meatballs as a 15% substitute for tapioca flour, it exhibited a superior antioxidant activity of 41.7%. This value was significantly higher (P<0.01) than the oven-dried treatment (28.85%) and the control group (13.22%). The enhanced retention of antioxidants in freeze-drying is attributed to the sublimation process, which minimizes the oxidation and thermal degradation of heat-sensitive molecules such as beta-carotene and phenolic compounds inherently found in Cilembu sweet potatoes. In conclusion, freeze-drying is the more effective processing method for maintaining the functional integrity of local Indonesian tubers, providing a high-quality ingredient for the development of standardized functional foods.

Abstract

Banana stems are an abundant agricultural by-product; however, their utilization as animal feed remains limited due to their high fiber and low crude protein contents. Improving their nutritional quality can be achieved through fermentation combined with the addition of protein sources and bioactivators. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of fermentation duration on the nutritional quality of a mixture of banana stems and Indigofera sp. leaves fermented using Microbacter Alfaafa (MA-11). The experiment was conducted for 12 days using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three fermentation periods: 0 days (P0), 6 days (P1), and 12 days (P2), each with four replications. The observed parameters included crude protein, crude fiber, and dry matter biomass weight. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at a 5% significance level. The results indicated that fermentation duration had a significant effect (P<0.05) on crude protein content, with the 12-day treatment producing the highest value (15.14%). In contrast, fermentation duration had no significant effect (P>0.05) on crude fiber content and dry matter biomass weight. In conclusion, 12 days of fermentation with MA-11 increased crude protein content but was not effective in significantly reducing crude fiber and dry matter biomass weight.

Abstract

Feed availability is one of the main constraints in livestock production, especially in tropical regions where supply is highly influenced by seasonal changes. Banana stems have potential as livestock feed due to their abundant availability; however, they contain low protein and high crude fiber, which requires processing to improve their nutritional quality. One of the methods that can be applied is fermentation using a bioactivator. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of Microbacter Alfaafa-11 (MA-11) inoculant on the nutritional quality of fermented banana stem and Indigofera sp. leaves. The study utilized a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) featuring three dose levels (0%; 0.05%; and 0.1%) and included four replicates over a period of 12 days of anaerobic fermentation. The measured variables were crude protein, crude fiber, and the weight of dry matter biomass. The data were examined using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at a significance threshold of 5%. The findings indicated that the addition of MA-11 notably raised the crude protein level (P<0.05), with the highest value recorded at the 0.1% dose; however, it did not significantly affect (P>0.05) the crude fiber or the dry matter biomass weight. These findings indicate that MA-11 is more effective in improving protein content than in reducing crude fiber or modifying dry matter biomass weight.

Abstract

Optimizing cooling pad placement in closed house systems is critical to ensuring uniform thermal distribution and preventing heat stress, yet the effect of cooling pad distance on broiler performance during the starter phase remains insufficiently studied. Objective: This study investigated the effect of three cooling pad distances (6 m, 12 m, and 18 m) on feed intake (FI), body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of broiler chickens during the starter phase. Methods: A completely randomized design (CRD) was applied with three treatments (P1, P2, P3) and four replications (5 birds/replication; 60 birds total) over 14 days at a commercial broiler farm in Jenawi, Karanganyar. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Results: Cooling pad distance had no significant effect (P>0.05) on FI, BWG, or FCR, with all FCR values remaining within the normal commercial range. The evaporative cooling pad effectively distributed cool air uniformly up to 18 m, demonstrating that the full capacity of the closed house can be utilized without compromising production efficiency. These findings contribute scientific evidence that proper cooling pad installation eliminates thermal gradients across house zones, providing a basis for optimizing housing design and management in tropical broiler production.
