Abstract

Early pregnancy detection in beef cattle is a crucial aspect of reproductive management to enhance livestock reproductive efficiency. Delays in pregnancy detection can result in prolonged open days and reduced farm productivity. This activity aimed to educate and implement the use of a urine-based pregnancy test kit for beef cattle at Nusa Fauna Cattle Farm in Padang. The program was conducted at Nusa Fauna Cattle Farm, Pauh District, Padang City. The implementation methods included socialization, demonstration of test kit usage, and direct assistance in field application. The evaluation was conducted through interviews and questionnaires to assess the level of understanding and the effectiveness of test kit implementation in reproductive management. The results indicated increased farmers' knowledge, understanding, and skills in independently using the test kit. Before the education program, farmers relied on rectal palpation performed by veterinary personnel, which has limitations in detecting early-stage pregnancy. After the training, farmers were able to use the test kit independently. Implementing the test kit also facilitated faster pregnancy detection, allowing farmers to take strategic actions in livestock reproductive programs. This activity concludes that education and implementing pregnancy test kit technology can improve livestock reproductive efficiency by enabling earlier pregnancy detection. Applying this technology at the smallholder farming level can reduce open days and increase the success rate of artificial insemination (AI) in beef cattle.

Abstract

Eggs are animal products with high nutritional value that remain relatively affordable. Duck eggs contain protein, energy, and fat levels that are as high as those found in chicken eggs. Generally, eggs can be stored for approximately 14 days at room temperature; beyond this period, their quality declines as storage time increases. Therefore, preservation methods for duck eggs are necessary. This study aims to evaluate the effects of applying beeswax bio-coating at various concentrations on the weight loss, albumen index (AI), yolk index (YI), and haugh unit (HU) of duck eggs over a period of six weeks. The research utilized an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), with five treatments and four replications. The treatments involved dipping duck eggs in beeswax bio-coating at different concentrations: A (0%), B (4%), C (8%), D (12%), and E (16%). The observed variables included egg weight loss, albumen index, yolk index, and haugh unit. The findings indicated that the application of beeswax bio-coating significantly affected (p < 0.05) egg weight loss, albumen index, yolk index, and haugh unit. The optimal results were achieved with treatment D (12%), which recorded a weight loss of 1.956%, an albumen index of 0.084, a yolk index of 0.354, and a haugh unit value of 71.839. Suggestions for future research include conducting developmental studies to add other substances or materials to the 12% beeswax bio-coating to enhance its quality. Furthermore, further research is required to evaluate the effects of storing duck eggs treated with 12% beeswax bio-coating at low temperatures.
