Abstract

Research on the cultivation of king grass (Pennisetum purpureophoides) was conducted to obtain information on growth, productivity, and continuity in providing forage for a sustainablee ruminant farming business. One of the cultivation factors is fertilization using beef cow manure as a renewable, inexhaustible natural resource or organic fertilizer. Improving the quality beef manure is important for better stimulation of plant growth and production. Fertilizer can be enriched with Azolla microphylla as a good nitrogen contributor. This study used beef cow dung fertilizer at doses of 10, 20, 30 tons per hectare per defoliation, and Azolla microphylla enrichment by 0%, 10%, and 20 % as treatments in a completely randomized design (CRD). The observed variables were plant growth (plant height, stem diameter, number of plants, and number of leaves as production), every 14 days until harvesting on day 42. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively based on the dynamics of plant growth. The result showed that the growth dynamics of the king grass were strongly influenced by fertilizer and plant’s age but no interaction each other. In conclusion fertilizer made of beef cattle dung enriched with Azolla microphylla is a feasible nitrogen source. The optimum results were obtained from using 30 tons beef cattle dung enriched with 20% Azolla microphylla to fertilize per hectare per defoliation soil.

Abstract

The growing demand for high-protein low-fat meat has encouraged the development of potential rabbit farming. One of the obstacles in the rabbit farming is a disease. The studies of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in rabbits are limited, especially in Indonesia. The study aimed to identify and determine the prevalence of helmith infestation, and investigate the correlation between age, sex, and hygiene with the occurrence of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in small-scale rabbit farms. The survey was conducted on 476 rabbits in Banyumas District using a purposive sampling to collect fecal samples and questionnaire data. Both male and female rabbits were devided into four age groups: wean 1 (birth-1 month), wean 2 (>1-6 months), young (>6-18 months), and adult (>19 months). The feces were examined using the floating and the Whitlock methods and gastrointestinal helminthiasis were identified by observing the morphology of eggs and gastrointestinal helmiths. Data were subject to descriptive analysis and logistic regression using JASP software 0.16.3 version. The results demonstrated that 50 rabbits (10.50%) were infested with nematode and cestode worms. Nematode eggs found in rabbit feces in this study were strongyle (33.33%), Trichostrongylus (27.78%), Cittotaenia (14.81%), Passalurus (12.96%), Trichuris (7.41%), Hymenolepis (1.85%), Toxocara (1.85%) and Strongyloides (1.85%). The most prevalent egg worm in rabbits was Strongyle (33.33%) and lowest were Hymenolepis, Toxocara and Strongyloides (1.85% each). This study revealed that age and sex had no effect on the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in rabbits (p>0.05). The frequency and technique of cage cleaning had a highly significant (p<0.01) effect on the occurence of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in rabbits, however there was no significant link with the separation of feces and urine in the cage (p>0.05).It can be inferred that the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in rabbits is relatively low, and the management system including the hygiene of the cage are the most important factors in preventing its emergence.

Abstract

Kutasari Farm Group, located in Karangcegak Village, Kutasari District, Purbalingga Regency, primarily engages in sheep farming but has long struggled to provide a continuous supply of forage. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of the group members in forage crop cultivation. The program targeted 18 sheep farmers and adopted a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach comprising the stages of problem identification, program design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The implementation phase involved socialization, group discussions, and hands-on practice in forage planting, while the evaluation phase included pre-tests and post-tests to assess the training’s effectiveness. The results showed that 80% of participants were engaged in sheep farming, 46% had previously planted forage crops, and 66.7% were capable of practicing intercropping cultivation. After the training, farmers’ knowledge in forage cultivation increased to 93.3%, and 88% expressed willingness to continue participating in the program. Agronomic evaluation of the demonstration plots revealed that the plant heights of Gama Umami grass under the intercropping system, Pakchong grass, Red Napier grass, and Elephant grass (the group’s original forage) were 174 cm, 172 cm, 173 cm, and 101 cm, respectively. These findings indicate a substantial improvement in farmers’ knowledge of forage cultivation, with the intercropping system achieving a 72.2% higher plant height compared to the previously cultivated forage. The results of the training also showed an increase in knowledge and group dynamics of Kutasari Farm.
