Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of giving rabbit urine POC on Odot grass production, such as plant height, leaf width, fresh production, number of tillers, and leaf length. Forage is the main feed component most needed by ruminant livestock, and in general, forage can be divided into three groups: grass (Gramineae), legumes (Leguminoseae), and non-grass. Feed is the most important factor in livestock raising; the success or failure of a livestock business is primarily determined by the feed provided. One of the forages for livestock is Odot grass, which can be reproduced using a vegetative method, namely by using the branches that grow best. This research used the experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments and four groups as replications. The treatments given were as follows: P1: No rabbit urine fertilizer, P2: Pure rabbit urine (10%), P3: POC rabbit urine (10%), P4: POC rabbit urine (15%), P5: POC urine rabbit (20%). The variables observed were fresh production (kg), plant height (cm), number of tillers (stems), leaf width (cm), and leaf length (cm). The results and discussion of the results of this research show that the highest results were in treatment P5 (20% POC rabbit urine), where fresh production of Odot grass was 2.5 kg per hill, plant height 120.5 cm, the number of saplings 27.75 stems, leaf width 4 .75 cm and leaf length 69.5 cm. In conclusion, giving rabbit urine POC showed no significant effect on fresh production and plant height but really affected the number of tillers, leaf width, and leaf length of Odot grass.

Abstract

The research aims to determine Brahman cross (BX) cattle's heat resistance at the UPT Aia Pacah, Padang, West Sumatra. The research variables were the “Temperature Humidity Index (THI)”, calculated based on changes in environmental temperature and air humidity, and “Heat Resistance” measured according to the Benezra and Rhoad coefficients. The calculation of heat resistance is based on physiological characteristics (body temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate). Data was collected twice a day, in the morning and afternoon, on 40 BX cattles. The results of the morning and the afternoon research showed that the average THI was respectively 75.5 + 2.03 and 82.68 + 1.06, the average body temperature was 37.79 + 0.27 and 38.28 + 0.29 degrees Celsius, the respiratory rate was 19.04 + 1.87 and 25.68 + 1.33 breaths per minute, the heart rate was 52.80 + 6.09 and 59 + 5.96 beats per minute, heat resistance Based on the Benezra and Rhoad coefficients, they were 2.35 + 0.28 and 96.40 + 1.52. The conclusion is that BX cattles kept at the UPT Aia Pacah, Padang is in moderate stress conditions during the day, while the heat resistance of 2.35 is slightly above the normal value of 2 and the Road coefficient is 96.04.
