Abstract

This article is a review written to provide information to readers about geese as livestock. Geese are herbivorous waterfowl with high genetic diversity. There are three centers of goose domestication in the world, namely Europe, China and Egypt. Geese can be developed as a meat producers as a functional food source, as well as by-products in the form of feathers which have high economic value. In order to produce high performance, geese need a balanced feed, which contains enough metabolic energy, crude protein and macro minerals. Geese can be developed as an alternative poultry meat producer to meet the need for poultry meat from other chickens, ducks and muscovy ducks.

Abstract

The research aims to determine the effect of slaughter age on carcass characteristics and meat quality of KUB chickens kept by farmers as meat producers. The research used a completely randomized design with a unidirectional pattern using 65 un-sexed Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) chickens. The chickens were divided into 4 slaughter age treatments, namely 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks. At each slaughter age, 15 chickens are used as replications. All chickens in the slaughter age group are slaughtered using the bleeding method in the neck area by cutting off the respiratory tract, blood vessels and digestive tract. After the chicken is declared dead, it is dipped in warm water (temperature 80oC), then the feathers are cleaned, the head and neck, legs are cut and the internal contents are removed. For the purposes of measuring meat quality, meat samples were taken from the chest and then measured at the Animal Products Processing Technology Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Mataram University. Slaughter age increased live weight, lower thigh weight percentage, meat cooking loss value (P<0.01), carcass weight percentage, wing weight percentage, upper thigh weight percentage, and water holding capacity (P<0.05), but did not affect breast weight percentage , back weight and meat pH (P>0.05). It was concluded that delaying the age of slaughter increases the edible part and decreases the inedible part. This research delays the age of slaughter to increase the edible part and reduce the inedible part.

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the characteristics of betet chickens kept by fighting cock enthusiasts in Central Lombok. Determining the research area was carried out using the cluster sampling method, and sampling of farm was carried out non-randomly using the snowball method, and determining the number of chicken samples for observation was carried out using the accidental sampling method. Observations were made on 74 male Betet  and 26 female Betet birds The variables observed were: body posture, feather color, beak color, beak shape, shank color and comb shape. The data obtained were tabulated, the frequency was calculated and analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of the research found that the feather color of male betet chickens was dominated by bing (black), followed by green, brumbun and the smallest frequency of lurik colors. The feather color of female betet chickens was dominated by the alap color, followed by the kelawu color and the lowest frequency of the berumbun color. The highest frequency of beak color was yellow, followed by black, and the majority was sharply curved. The highest frequency of shank color in male betet chickens was yellow, followed by black and the lowest frequency was white. There were no white shanks found in female betet birds. The highest frequency of the comb shape for male betet chickens was without a comb because it is cut, followed by the single shape, then the lowest frequency was the pea shape. The majority of female betet chickens have a single comb, the rest do not have a comb (the comb does not develop). It was concluded that betet chickens kept by fighting cock enthusiasts
