Abstract

This study aimed to examine the physiological response, blood metabolites, consumption and digestibility, and carcasses of kacang goats fed Bauhinia purpurea leaves as an additive in complete feed. The study used 16 fattening goats aged 10–12 months with an initial body weight range of 12–14 kg via a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replicates: T0: G. sepium 38% + native grass 32% + rice bran 5% + corn flour 24.8% + mineral mix 0.2% (control); T1: G. sepium 36% + native grass 34% + rice bran 5% + corn flour 22.3% + mineral mix 0.2% + B. purpurea leaves 2.5%; T2: Gliricidia sepium 34% + native grass 32% + rice bran 5% + corn flour 21.3% + mineral mix 0.2% + B. purpurea leaves 7.5%; T3: G. sepium 32% + native grass 30% + rice bran 5% + corn flour 20.3% + mineral mix 0.2% + B. purpurea leaves 12.5%. The results revealed that the treatment had no significant effect on any of the variables. The use of B. purpurea leaves in complete feed at 2.5% (T1), 7.5% (T2) and 12.5% (T3) had the same effect on the physiological response, nutrient consumption and digestibility, blood metabolites, and carcass and noncarcass production.

Abstract

Pakchoi productivity in dryland areas is often constrained by water availability and suboptimal nutrient management strategies. However, the combined role of organic growing media, boron supply, and controlled irrigation in a vertical-wick fertigation system under dryland conditions remains underexplored. This study aimed to assess the presence of boron in compost- and biochar-modified growing media under water stress, which affects the morphophysiology of pakchoi in dryland conditions, using a vertical system with wick fertigation. The study was arranged in a split-plot design with two watering frequencies and a growing media formulation based on soil, compost, and biochar, with added boron. The results showed that watering frequency and boron-based growing media significantly affected leaf number, shoot and root biomass, root characteristics, and chlorophyll content. Consistent daily watering resulted in better growth and yield compared to watering every other day. Optimized combinations of regular irrigations and appropriate boron application enhanced biomass accumulation and chlorophyll content, indicating improved plant performance. These findings indicate that regular water management through a wick fertigation system, combined with organic growing media formulation and appropriate boron dosage, can significantly enhance pakchoi growth and productivity in dryland conditions. Importantly, this study provides a practical and scalable strategy for improving vegetable production under water-limited conditions.

Abstract

Dry land soils generally have poor physical quality, requiring intensive management to be used effectively as planting media. Verticulture is applied to improve the growing medium by incorporating biochar and compost. The development of verticulture integrated with a fertigation system allows uniform distribution of water and nutrients along the vertical pipes. This study aimed to examine the effects of planting medium composition and boron concentration on the growth and yield of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) under a verticulture fertigation system. The experiment employed a split-plot design. The main plot consisted of different planting medium compositions: soil (control), 50% soil + 50% compost–biochar mixture, 75% soil + 25% compost–biochar mixture, and 25% soil + 75% compost–biochar mixture. The subplot was the boron concentration, consisting of 0 g/L (control), 1 g/L, and 1.5 g/L. The results showed that the interaction between planting medium composition and boron concentration significantly affected plant height and number of leaves at 21–28 days after planting (DAP), as well as root volume. The planting medium had a significant effect on all observed parameters, while boron concentration significantly affected plant height at 35 DAP. The combination of compost and biochar in balanced proportions, together with optimal boron concentration, enhanced lettuce growth performance in the vertical wick fertigation system.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the quality of complete feed wafers with different plant protein sources for a feed of small ruminants.Methods:The research was conducted in May-September 2022. The research method used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replications. The method used in this study was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments, namely R0 = Wafer with an animal protein source (Fish meal) (Control), R1 = Wafers with protein source Sesbania grandiflora, R2 = Wafers with protein source Gliricidia sepium. R3=Wafer with protein source Leucaena leucocephala.The research variables consisted of physical quality (moisture content, wafer density, specific gravity, water absorption) and nutritional quality (dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and nitrogen free extracts). Data analysis according to the Analysis of Variance procedure using SPSS version 21.Results:The results showed that the use of plant protein sources had no significant effect (P>0.05) on water content and wafer density but had a significant effect (P<0.05) on specific gravity and water absorption capacity. The use of plant protein sources can increase the value of water content, wafer density, and specific gravity and reduce water absorption capacity. Meanwhile, the crude protein (CP) content of the wafer had no significant effect (P>0.05) and produced the same value as using fish meal. Other nutritional variables had a significant effect (P<0.05) such as DM, OM, EE and NFE which increased and CF decreased on the use of plant protein sources in making feed wafers compared to the use of fish meal.Conclusions: It was concluded that the use of legumes Sesbania grandiflora, Gliricidia sepium, and Leucaena leucocephala as a source of vegetable protein in wafers could replace fish meal. The three types of legumes had the same effect on the physical and nutritional quality of the resulting product.
