Abstract

Cover crop diversity under plantation area has potency to supply forage for animal farming. The research aim was to evaluate cover crop vegetation and to estimate plant production and quality under plantation at West Java. This research was conducted from May 2018 to April 2019 at public and private company around Bogor, Banten, Kuningan and Garut. In each area, there were selected 10 plots for plant identification with sample size was 50 cm x 50 cm. Biomass production and nutrient quality was sampled through 3 plots with sample size was 100 cm x 100 cm, forage was harvested and weighed then analyzed by proximate analysis. Diversity and biomass production were analyzed by R 3.6.2 software through Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) based on environment differences, then the significant results analyzed by LSD Test. The results showed that the highest biomass was sampled in Bogor i.e. 359 g m‑2 ±164.08 g m‑2 fresh weight and 71.22 g m‑2 ±45.91 g m-2 dry weight. Cover crop diversity varied around two to 32 species with percentage of area cover around 10-90%. Potential plants as forage were Panicum repens (lempuyangan), Paspalum conjugatum (jukut pahit) and Asystasia gangetica (ara sungsang). Dry matter content of composite forage was 18.3%-31.6%, crude protein was 4.57%-10.8%, crude fiber was 21.3%-25.7% and ashreached 11.2%-15.9%. It can be concluded that cover crop under plantation have potency to supply forage, especially in Bogor, however concentrate addition is needed to fulfil nutrient animal requirement due to the low quality forage.

Abstract

Integrated farming systems through inclusion of forage into the plantation area can increase forage supply for ruminants.  The aim of the research was to evaluate biomass production, nutrient, mineral content and digestibility of A. gangetica under different light intensity on palm plantation area. The research was conducted under randomized complete block design based on three different light intensity on each block.  Data were analyzed statistically with R i386 3.6.1 using Analysis of Variance Test (ANOVA), and Duncan Test was applied to determine the level of significant difference.  The research showed A. gangetica cultivation influenced the soil properties under palm plantation.  A gangetica growth well until light intensity 14.39% that indicated by average biomass production on the first harvest time reached 78.58 g/plant.  The light intensity decreases triggered an increase of A. gangetica dry matter percentage, ash content and crude protein.   The light intensity unaffected the concentration of minerals Ca, P, Mg and forage digestibility, on the other side the dry matter digestibility on the second harvest time decreased due to the soil properties influences. The research concluded that biomass production, nutrient, mineral content and digestibility of A. gangetica under palm plantation area were affected by light intensity, soil properties and harvest time

Abstract

Palm oil plantations have the potency to provide forage as a source of energy for livestock. The objective of this research was to estimate the production and quality of weeds under palm plantation as ruminant feed. Identification was conducted to find out information about botanical composition, production and nutritional content to estimate potential forage. The study was conducted using a randomized block design with 2 blocks of 6- and 8-years old palm and 10 sample plots.  The research parameters were botanical composition, weed dominance and diversity, and also forage production potency. The results showed that 19 species from 11 families were found and dominated by gramineae. The weed botanical composition and diversity level was affected by oil palm plantation age. On the 8 years old oil palm plantation, the number of weed species and diversity level were decreased, reaching 10 species and H’ 2.41 while on the 6 years old were 13 species and H’ 3.14.  Based on the type of weed, Paspalum conjugatum P.J. Bergius is a weed that has the potential to be used as the highest forage as ruminant animal feed with an estimated production of 730.42 kg ha-1 of fresh biomash.  The estimation of weed production ruminant forage was dominated by grass that had up to 1.87 ton ha-1 of fresh biomash.

Abstract

Gynura procumbens (Sambung nyawa) has been widely used as a herbal medicine since it is rich in bioactive compounds. Moreover, Gynura procumbens also has become a potential plant that control parasitic nematode infection. The research aimed to investigate the effect of G. procumbens on sheep performance, health status, and methane production. A total of twelve six-month-old lambs (ABW 11.27 ± 2.19 kg) were categorized based on live weight and fed one of feed treatments: wild grasses (40%) and concentrate (60%) (control/P0), P0 + 5% G. procumbens (P1), and P0 + 10% G. procumbens (P2). Feed intake, parasitic infection, and physiological status were measured weekly. G. procumbens at 5% level showed normal respiration rate, but the respiration and heart rates of lambs were abnormal. The 10% G. procumbens increased daily weight gain. G. procumbens addition up to 10% reduced the number of Strongyloides on feces and enteric methane emissions compare to control. It concluded that 5% G. procumbens can be used as an anthelmintic forage by improving health status, performance, and reducing methane emissions of sheep.

Abstract

Jati Unggul Nusantara (JUN) (Tectona grandis L.f.) banyak diminati karena memiliki masa panen yang singkat. Dibalik keunggulan itu JUN memiliki sifat kayu yang kurang stabil. Kondisi tersebut dapat diperparah oleh serangan hama dan penyakit yang bersumber dari vegetasi yang telah ada sebelumnya. Sisa vegetasi di suatu pertanaman dapat menjadi penghubung bagi siklus kehidupan hama dan penyakit. Di kebun percobaan Universitas Nusa Bangsa (UNB) terdapat tunggul JUN yang dibiarkan tumbuh menjadi tegakan baru (terubusan). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menginventarisasi hama dan penyakit pada daun terubusan JUN melalui pengamatan gejala kerusakan daun. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan April – Juli 2021 di Kebun Percobaan UNB, Desa Cogreg, Kabupaten Bogor. Sampel pohon ditentukan dengan metode transek sepanjang 160 m. Pengamatan sampel daun dilakukan dengan cara dipetik kemudian diamati jenis dan luas tutupan gejalanya. Luas tutupan kerusakan pada daun tersebut diamati dengan bantuan bidang ukur berbahan mika plastik berukuran 20 x 20 cm. Hasil penelitian menujukkan 666 (86%) helai daun bergejala serangan hama dan/atau penyakit. Sebagian besar kerusakan ditimbulkan oleh penyakit daripada hama. Serangan penyakit yang ditemukan antara lain hawar, shot-hole, karat, embun tepung, karat, dan klorosis. Adapaun gejela serangan hama yang ditemukan yaitu defoliasi, leaf-miner, skeletonize, dan lekukan. Gejala hawar, shot-hole, dan defoliasi merupakan gejala yang paling sering ditemukan. Sementara itu, nilai keparahan tertinggi didapatkan pada gejala embun tepung, hawar, dan karat daun.

Abstract

Small dairy farms in tropical regions frequently encounter feed shortages and quality fluctuations between seasons, which can substantially affect milk production. This research aimed to evaluate the ability of small-scale dairy farms to adapt to and manage feed fluctuations in response to seasonal changes.  The research employed an exploratory design, with samples collected using nested sampling methods. Three samples were collected according to the season, specifically during the dry season (August 2024) and the rainy season (January 2025), from the Cepogo and Selo Subdistricts in Boyolali.  Feed samples collection was conducted in five stages: 1) desk study of the research area; 2) field visiting; 3) feed samples; 4) forage samples collection; and 5) feed analysis using proximate analysis (AOAC, 2005).  The results showed differences in feeding management among farmers related to their dairy animal structures.  The highest dry matter content in the forage was found in rice straw (60.4% DM), which dominated dry season use, while the highest crude protein content was observed in calliandra (23.5%) among the forages. Five coproducts have high dry matter content with varying crude protein and crude fibre levels.  The research concluded that small-sized dairy farms can adapt and manage feed fluctuations based on seasonal changes by making forage and concentrate choices available.

Abstract

Sambung nyawa (Gynura procumbens) memiliki potensi untuk hijauan pakan ternak, namun belum banyak dikaji proses budidaya di tanah oxisol. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pertumbuhan dan produksi hijauan sambung nyawa di tanah oxisol serta pengaruh pemupukan urea dengan dosis yang berbeda. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan pengelompokan berdasarkan kemiringan lahan dan 4 perlakuan pupuk dengan 10 tanaman per plot. Kelompok kemiringan lahan terdiri dari kemiringan 7ᵒ (B1), kemiringan 5ᵒ (B2), kemiringan 4ᵒ (B3), dan kemiringan 3ᵒ (B4). Perlakuan penelitian terdiri dari kontrol dengan pemberian pupuk kandang sebesar 8 ton ha⁻¹ dan NPK 15-15-15 sebesar 200 kg ha⁻¹ (P1), dengan penambahan pupuk urea 100 kg ha⁻¹ (P2), dengan penambahan pupuk urea 200 kg ha⁻¹ (P3), dengan penambahan pupuk urea 300 kg ha⁻¹ (P4). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan pupuk ke tanah dapat meningkatkan kandungan hara tanah, terutama fosfor (1,28 ppm ke 3,41 ppm) dan kalium (0,13 15 cmol⁽⁺⁾ kg¯¹ ke 0,15 cmol⁽⁺⁾ kg). Dosis pemupukan yang berbeda menyebabkan perbedaan pertumbuhan sambung nyawa, baik tinggi tanaman, jumlah cabang, jumlah daun maupun produksi biomassa segar. Pada produksi daun, terjadi penurunan biomassa daun segar (dari kontrol 114,89 g tanaman-1) pada penambahan pupuk urea 200 kg ha-1 (P3 menjadi 64,69 g tanaman-1), namun tidak berbeda nyata setelah biomassa segar dikeringkan. Pada produksi batang, pengaruh pemupukan urea terhadap pola penurunan biomassa batang segar dan kering relatif sama. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah tanaman sambung nyawa memiliki kemampuan beradaptasi dan tumbuh dengan baik di tanah oxisol. Pemberian pupuk yang direkomendasikan adalah pupuk kandang sebesar 8 ton ha⁻¹ dan NPK 15-15-15 sebesar 200 kg ha⁻¹.
