Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between age and testicular morphometrics in lovebird (Agapornis fischeri), as well as the relationship between age and the gonadosomatic index (GSI) of the testes, and to evaluate the effect of body weight on testicular weight in determining the onset of puberty. This study used 30 lovebirds divided into three age groups: 4, 5, and 6 months, with ten birds in each group. The variables measured were testicular length, width, volume, weight and body weight. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis, simple linier regression, and paired sample t-test. The results showed a positive relationship between age and testicular length, width and volume. The GSI values of lovebirds aged 4, 5 and 6 months were 0.015 ± 0.002, 0.058 ± 0.011, and 0.400 ± 0.067, respectively, indicating an increase with age. The significance coefficient at 4 months of age was 0.000 (p <0.05), indicating that body weight had a significant influence on testicular weight at this age. In contrast, lovebirds aged 5 and 6 months had significance coefficients of 0.079 and 0.089 (p >0.05), indicating that testicular weight was not significantly influenced by body weight at these ages. It can be concluded that lovebirds at 6 months of age are likely to have reached puberty.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the financial feasibility and sensitivity of the broiler chicken farming business of the “Paguyuban Broiler Lumajang” Livestock Group in Lumajang Regency. The research employed a descriptive observational method using a survey approach, involving 20 farmers who were categorized into two groups based on partnership companies (national and multinational companies). Feasibility analysis was conducted using four key financial indicators: Net Present Value (NPV), Average Rate of Return (ARR), Benefit–Cost Ratio (B/C Ratio), and Payback Period (PP). Sensitivity analysis focused on the impact of changes in feed prices (increases of 5%, 10%, and 15%) and broiler selling prices (decreases of 5%, 10%, and 15%). The results indicated that all groups were financially feasible, with positive NPV values, ARR significantly exceeding prevailing interest rates, PP under five years, and B/C Ratio values above 1. Sensitivity analysis revealed that a decrease in broiler selling prices had a greater impact on profit generation than an increase in feed prices. In conclusion, all groups in the “Paguyuban Broiler Lumajang” were financially viable and showed strong potential for further development. Government support in stabilizing broiler prices and feed costs is essential to ensure business sustainability and farmers’ welfare.

Abstract

Broiler production in Indonesia continues to increase in line with the rising demand for animal protein. However, coccidiosis caused by Eimeria tenella remains a major constraint, as it disrupts nutrient absorption and negatively affects growth performance, particularly feed intake and body weight. The use of ionophore anticoccidials, such as monensin, is effective; however, concerns regarding antimicrobial resistance and drug residues highlight the need for alternative strategies, including combination probiotics. This study aimed to evaluate the potential effect of combination probiotics administered through drinking water on production performance, including feed intake (FI) and final body weight (FBW), in broiler chickens infected with E. tenella. A total of broiler chickens were assigned to five treatment groups: uninfected control (P0−), infected control (P0+), monensin treatment (P1), probiotic treatment (P2), and combined probiotic plus monensin treatment (P3). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by a post hoc test at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that feed intake did not differ significantly among treatments (p > 0.05). However, final body weight was significantly affected (p < 0.05), with the highest value observed in the combination treatment group (P3), reaching 3192 g. The combination of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei and Pediococcus pentosaceus improved final body weight without affecting feed intake in broiler chickens infected with E. tenella. These findings indicate the potential of combination probiotics as a supportive strategy for maintaining growth performance under coccidial infection conditions.
