Abstract

Kulon Progo Regency in Indonesia is home to a rich variety of geological features, an underground landscape that holds great promise for water resources like natural springs. Yet, in 2019, the community of Girimulyo Subdistrict faced a troubling clean water shortage, highlighting a growing need for smarter water management. To better understand where water is available and how it flows, researchers turned to modern mapping tools. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, along with field surveys and measurements of spring water flow, scientists set out to chart the location and behavior of springs across the region. They used ArcGIS software and a method called Nearest Neighbor Analysis to uncover patterns in the data. What they found was surprising: springs in Kulon Progo do not follow a regular pattern; they appear scattered randomly across the landscape. The strength of each spring’s water flow also varied, depending on the land’s slope and the type of soil. These findings are not just academic. They offer a practical foundation for improving how the region manages its water; a critical step toward preventing future water crises and ensuring clean water access for all. Want to know more?

Abstract

The effect of feeding Pakchong and Indigofera-based silage Total Mixed Ration (TMR) on the production performance of pregnant Cross Awassi sheep was evaluated using 6 pregnant sheep, which were randomly divided into two treatment groups. Three sheep were allocated to the control group (P0) which was fed a conventional diet based on fresh forage and standard concentrate, while the other three were placed in the treatment group (P1) which was fed fermented silage TMR for 14 days. Each sheep received feed at 3.5% of body weight per day, with access to drinking water ad libitum. During the 30-day study, feed consumption, daily body weight gain (ADG), feed conversion (FCR), and cempe birth weight were analyzed. The results showed that feed consumption in the treatment group (10.62±1.192 kg/head/day) was higher than the control group (9.84±1.056 kg/head/day). ADG of the treatment group (1.2±0.10 kg) was higher than the control group (0.85±0.12 kg). Birth weight of cempe in the treatment group (4.08±0.769 kg) was higher than the control group (3.72±0.685 kg) with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). The FCR value was lower in the treatment group (14.93) than the control group (20.24), indicating better feed efficiency. Therefore, feeding Pakchong and Indigofera-based TMR silage can improve feed efficiency, productivity, and cempe birth weight in pregnant Cross Awassi Sheep.
