Abstract

This study aimed to assess the palatability and feed consumption of bayan parrots (Eclectus roratus biaki) in the captivity at the Bird and Orchid Park in Biak, using a variety of local feed combinations. The feeds consisted of fruits (papaya and bananas) and seeds (mung beans and sweet corn). A total of 8 parrots (4 males and four females) were used, housed in pairs within individual cages. Four treatments were tested: P0 (papaya and banana), P1 (papaya, banana, and mung beans), P2 (papaya, banana, and sweet corn), and P3 (papaya, banana, mung beans, and sweet corn). Feed and water were provided ad libitum and feed consumption was measured by weighing the remaining feed daily. The results indicated that bananas had the highest palatability and consumption across all treatments, with the highest feed consumption occurring in the P3 treatment, which included a combination of fruits and seeds. Palatability index, dry matter intake, and organic matter intake were higher when parrots were offered a varied diet. No significant differences were found between treatments in daily consumption, but the variety in feed combinations led to improved consumption patterns. The findings suggest that providing a balanced and varied diet consisting of fruits and seeds is crucial for optimizing bayan parrots' nutritional intake and health in captivity. This study contributes to improved feeding strategies for captive management and conservation efforts, ensuring the well-being of this endemic species.

Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable livestock feed sources has sparked interest in the reutilization of food waste. This study aims to assess the quantity, types, and nutritional content of food waste generated from households, restaurants, and hotels in Sentani District, Papua, Indonesia, and evaluate its potential as an alternative feed for pigs. A descriptive mixed-method approach was employed, involving field surveys, structured interviews, and laboratory analysis. Daily food waste production was highest in hotels (33.00 kg/day), followed by restaurants (8.64 kg/day) and households (5.33 kg/day). Nutritional analysis showed that dry matter content was highest in restaurant waste (29.74%), moderate in hotel waste (28.03%), and lowest in household waste (17.19%). The study reveals that hotel and restaurant waste is richer in nutrients and more consistently available, making it a more suitable feed source. However, high moisture content in household waste necessitates prompt handling and processing. These findings highlight the potential of food waste to enhance feed sustainability, reduce costs, and support environmentally responsible livestock practices in rural Papua New Guinea.

Abstract

Dendeng is processed through salting and drying to extend its shelf life and develop a distinctive flavor. Synthetic nitrite in its processing plays a vital role in maintaining the red color and texture, inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microbes. However, the health risks due to the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds from the reaction of nitrite with amines in meat drive the search for safer natural alternatives. Celery leaves (Apium graveolens) are a potential candidate due to their natural nitrate content (1,496 ppm) that can be converted into nitrite through the activity of the enzyme nitrate reductase. Celery leaves also contain antioxidants that support product quality during storage. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of celery leaves as a substitute for synthetic nitrites in beef jerky, particularly in terms of sensory acceptance. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for developing healthier, more natural processed meat products and reducing dependence on synthetic chemicals. This study uses non-parametric analysis, specifically the Kruskal-Wallis Hedonic test followed by the Mann-Whitney test in a spider web model with four treatments of celery leaves, including P0 (control/without celery leaves), P1 (16g celery leaves), P2 (32g celery leaves), and P3 (48g celery leaves). The analysis results show that using celery leaves as a natural curing agent significantly affects color, tenderness, and flavor. The addition of celery leaves up to 16 grams has the best effect.

Abstract

Sustainable goat production in North Biak District, Papua, depends heavily on locally available forages, yet empirical information on species diversity remains limited. This study described the forage plants fed to goats by smallholders in four villages (Dofyo Wafor, Warsansan, Andey, Saukobye). Using a descriptive design, we conducted interviews and direct field observations with 20 purposively selected farmers. Forage taxa were identified to species level using field guides and plant-identification software; uncertain specimens were referred to the University of Papua’s Center for Biodiversity Research. We documented 12 forage species supplied to goats. The assemblage was dominated by woody plants—primarily trees and shrubs—with a small contribution from grasses. Ficus spp. were prominent within rations (e.g., F. maclellandii, F. racemosa, F. hispida, F. variegata), alongside other browse species such as Bauhinia glabra, Glochidion glomeratum, Macaranga hispida, Boehmeria nivea, Clerodendrum paniculatum, Garcinia dulcis, Morinda citrifolia, and Saccharum edule. By growth form, forages comprised approximately 67.7% trees, 25.0% shrubs, and 8.3% grasses. Several species reported dual use as ethnoveterinary resources (e.g., Glochidion glomeratum, Morinda citrifolia, Garcinia dulcis), indicating potential functional-feed roles beyond nutrition. Findings highlight a diverse, browse-dominated forage base that can be leveraged to support maintenance and production in smallholder goat systems. We recommend follow-up work on seasonal availability, nutritive value, and secondary-metabolite profiles to guide cultivation, ration formulation, and dry-season feeding strategies.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, in vitro fermentation characteristics, and nutrient digestibility of local forages from Biak Utara District, Biak Numfor Regency, Papua. Eleven forage species commonly consumed by ruminants were collected, combined with elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) at a ratio of 64.2:35.8, and incubated in vitro for 48 h in cattle rumen fluid. The chemical composition, pH, ammonia-nitrogen (NH?-N) content, volatile fatty acid (VFA) content, gas production, methane (CH?) content, and in vitro digestibility of dry matter (DMD) and organic matter (OMD) were determined. The data were analysed via ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results revealed wide variation in the crude protein (13.0–25.2%) and fibre fractions (NDF 33.2–61.6%; ADF 32.0–53.8%; hemicellulose 1.2–19.3%), which significantly affected fermentation characteristics and nutrient digestibility. The NH?-N concentration (29.5–40.9 mg/100 ml) exceeded the minimum threshold required for microbial protein synthesis. The total VFA concentration ranged from 61.3 to 81.2 mM, with higher values in forages with lower fibre fractions. Total gas and CH? production also varied, with the highest values observed in combinations with Garcinia dulcis and Morinda citrifolia. These combinations also had the highest DMD and OMD values (63.2% and 62.4%, respectively), whereas Ficus recemosa yielded the lowest values. In conclusion, the nutritional quality and fermentability of local forages are strongly influenced by the balance between the crude protein and fibre fractions. Forages with lower NDF and ADF contents and adequate protein levels improved digestibility and fermentation, indicating their potential to increase ruminant productivity in Biak Numfor Regency.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the botanical composition and carrying capacity of grazing pasture as the main feed resource for Timor deer (Cervus timorensis) at the captive breeding facility of PT Pulau Lemon, Manokwari, West Papua. A descriptive case study approach was applied using quadrat sampling (1 m × 1 m) at ten sampling points representing vegetation heterogeneity and site topography. All forage species within each quadrat were harvested, identified to species level, and weighed to determine fresh biomass production and botanical composition. Carrying capacity was estimated based on available forage biomass, proper use factor, and livestock unit conversion. The results showed that ten plant species were recorded, consisting of four grasses, two legumes, and four other forages. Grasses dominated the pasture cover, while legumes occurred at relatively low frequency. Based on fresh weight proportion, non‑grass forages accounted for the largest fraction, including both edible and non‑edible species. The available consumable forage production averaged 0.146 kg m⁻², resulting in a carrying capacity of only 1.67 livestock units ha⁻¹ year⁻¹, equivalent to approximately four adult deer (35 kg body weight) for the total grazing area of 1.75 ha. Continuous grazing and high stocking density were identified as major factors contributing to low forage productivity and pasture degradation. In conclusion, the current grazing area is unable to support the existing deer population sustainably, indicating an urgent need for pasture improvement, rotational grazing, and population management.

Abstract

Goat productivity in Indonesia is often constrained by low-quality forage diets and a high prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitic infections, leading to significant economic losses. This study investigated the effects of Leucaena leucocephala supplementation on feed intake, weight gain, and gastrointestinal helminth control in Kacang goats. Using a latin square design, nine goats were assigned to three treatments: P1 (0%), P2 (20%), and P3 (40%) Leucaena leucocephala inclusion in a forage mix of Pennisetum purpuphoides and Gliricidia sepium. The measured variables included daily feed intake, weekly weight gain, and fecal egg counts (FECs). Supplementation significantly (P<0.05) increased the average daily feed intake from 0.89±0.10 kg (P1) to 1.86±0.31 kg (P2) and 1.81±0.37 kg (P3). Growth performance improved markedly, with the P3 group achieving the highest weekly weight gain of 1.08±0.27 kg (154.76 g/day), which was significantly higher than that of the control group. Furthermore, L. leucocephala inclusion led to a substantial reduction in parasite burden; FECs decreased from 290±96.02 EPG (P1) to 190±76.55 EPG (P2) and 140±52.92 EPG (P3). Supplementation at the 40% level reduced helminth infection by approximately 51.7% compared with the control diet. In conclusion, L. leucocephala serves as both a high-quality nutrient source and a functional anthelmintic agent. Although a 20% inclusion rate is sufficient to optimize growth performance, the 40% level provides a superior reduction in gastrointestinal parasite burdens.
