Abstract

In this study, GIS-based land suitability analysis is used to optimize the cultivation of forage for goat production in Limapuluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra.  We assessed five important forages—cassava, Calliandra calothyrsus, Gliricidia sepium, Sesbania grandiflora, and Leucaena leucocephala—by incorporating a multi-criteria evaluation (including slope, soil characteristics, and climate conditions).  Results show clear agroecological niches: cassava flourishes extensively, even on marginal lands, C. calothyrus and G. sepium need specific adaptations to soil and climate,  Sesbania grandiflora excels as a high-protein choice in various zones,  whereas Leucaena leucocephala requires strict geographic targeting.  Processing protocols (sun-drying, co-feeding) and species-specific rehabilitation were implemented to address critical constraints such as soil acidity, elevation, and anti-nutritional compounds (tannins, mimosine). The study creates a new suitability classification framework that allows for precise zoning of forage development. The main recommendations are to focus on Sesbania grandiflora in central valleys, cassava on slopes at risk of erosion, and Gliricidia sepium in lowland regions, while limiting Leucaena leucocephala to areas with optimal microclimates. This method strengthens the resilience of smallholders by cutting down feed expenses, boosting goat productivity, and promoting sustainable land use in accordance with SDGs 2 (Zero Hunger) and 13 (Climate Action). Policy integration includes spatial planning maps along with targeted subsidy schemes for acid-tolerant legumes.

Abstract

AbstractFeed plays an important role in livestock metabolism, especially to support growth, maintain body condition, and production. Therefore, efforts are needed to find high-quality feed ingredients that are easy to obtain, sustainably available, do not compete with human needs, are non-toxic, and economical. One alternative feed ingredient that can be optimized to reduce feed costs is industrial waste, such as coconut meal and palm kernel meal. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, Tadulako University, Palu, for five weeks, namely from March 19, 2022 to May 20, 2022. A total of 80 laying hens aged 64 weeks were used in this study, with five treatments and four replications. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with further analysis using the Honestly Significant Difference Test (HSD). The variables observed included feed consumption (g), egg production (g), feed conversion, energi intake (kcal), and protein intake (g). The results showed that the treatment had a very significant effect on feed consumption (P<0.01), and had a significant effect on egg production, feed conversion, energy intake, and protein intake (P<0.05). From the results of the study it can be concluded that the addition of 5% palm kernel meal and 5% coconut meal is the most recommended combination as an alternative feed ingredient in laying hen rations.Keywords: Copra meal, laying hens, palm kernel meal

Abstract

Buffalo meat has a high nutritional value but tends to have a tough texture, making it less popular with consumers. Therefore, processing methods such as the meltique technique are needed to tenderize buffalo meat. The aim of this study was to evaluate the tenderness and sensory characteristics of buffalo meltique meat injected with different types of fats (beef tallow, Wagyu fat, coconut oil, and palm oil) combined with papain enzyme. The meltique technique, involving fat emulsion injection, enhances meat marbling and tenderness. Papain, a proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya extract, was applied to improve meat texture by breaking down myofibril proteins. The treatments were applied to sirloin cuts of buffalo meat and assessed through physical (tenderness and texture profile) and sensory (hedonic and quality) analysis. The design used in Texture analysis was a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatment factors and three replications. Sensory test data were analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test with the Mann-Whitney follow-up test. The results showed that all fat-injected treatments significantly improved meat tenderness (P<0.05) compared to control. Texture profile analysis showed a decrease in hardness, gumminess, and chewiness, particularly in treatments using Wagyu fat and palm oil. Hedonic tests showed no significant differences in aroma, color, and flavor across treatments, though texture was significantly preferred in fat-injected samples. Palm oil and Wagyu fat treatments resulted in higher consumer preference scores for texture and aroma. These findings suggest that combining fat emulsion injection and papain marination is an effective strategy to improve the tenderness and consumer acceptance of buffalo meat, offering a promising alternative to traditional meat products with lower cost and improved quality.

Abstract

Solid organic fertilizer efficiently utilizes livestock waste, with laying hen excreta providing the highest nitrogen (N) content among livestock manure. Combining laying hen excreta with dairy cow manure and fiber sources as a fertilizer base is expected to meet KEPMENTAN No. 261 of 2019 standards. To maintain essential nutrients (N, P, K), the fertilizer is enriched with Pseudomonas sp., Herbasirillum sp., and Streptomyces sp. This study aims to analyzing the effect of chicken excreta on macronutrient content (N, P, K), carbon (C) levels, C/N ratio, coliform presence, and microbial viability. The experiment followed a completely randomized design (CRD) with six treatments, namely P1: (95% Combination of DCF and FS + 5% Laying Hen Excreta), P2: (90% Combination of DCF and FS + 10% Laying Hen Excreta), P3: (85% Combination of DCF and FS +15% Laying Hen Excreta), MP1: (95% Combination of DCF and FS + 5% Laying Hen Excreta + 10% MK), MP2: (90% Combination of DCF and FS + 10% Laying Hen Excreta + 10% MK) and MP3: (85% Combination of DCF and FS + 15% Laying Hen Excreta + 10% MK). DCF (Dairy Cow Feces), FS (Fibre Source), MC (Microbial Consortium), SOF  (Solid Organic Fertilizer). Results showed that adding 15% laying hen excreta enriched with bacteria significantly increasing (P≤0.05) macronutrient content, viability, C/N ratio, and coliform presence but did not significantly affect carbon (C) content.

Abstract

This trial was therefore undertaken to investigate the effect of durian (dario zibethinus) seed extract supplementation on the growth performance, carcass yield and internal organ development in broilers under heat temperature. 5 treatment groups, including control group (P0) with no extract addition and 4 treatments (P1- P4), where the levels of durian seed extracts used were added into-drinking water at dose concentrations of Nil, 1.0 mL/L, 1.5 mL/L, 2.0 mL/L and 2.5ml/L respectively. Weight gain, feed conversion efficiency, weights of slaughter body parts (and as their relative proportion: liver, heart, proventriculus and gizzard) and internal organs (total intestines) were evaluated. The durian seed meal extract also significantly enhanced (P < 0.05) the body and carcass weights and growth of digestive and metabolic organs. Values were higher in P4 indicating a dose relation. The beneficial health effects are attributed to the bio-active compounds (polyphenols, flavonoinds and phenolic acid) as natural anti oxidants and phyto-biotics which avoid the oxidative stress and stimulate to absorb the nutrient. It is thus justified to conclude that durian seed extract at 2.5 ml/L could be applied as natural growth promoter combined with antioxidative activity in broiler raised under the tropical heat stress source.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the structure, conduct, and performance (SCP) of the Garut sheep market in Garut Regency, West Java. Garut sheep are one of the region’s leading livestock commodities with high economic and cultural value. However, the marketing of Garut sheep remains inefficient due to issues such as imperfect market structures, price fluctuations, and the weak bargaining position of farmers. A descriptive quantitative research method was employed, utilizing a case study approach in six sub-districts of Garut Regency. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, observations, and focus group discussions (FGD) involving sheep farmers and market intermediaries. The findings indicate that the market structure for Garut sheep tends toward an oligopolistic model, characterized by a high level of concentration among large-scale traders. Market conduct is predominantly controlled by traders, particularly in price setting and transaction systems, while farmers act as price takers. Market performance is considered inefficient, as evidenced by high marketing margins and low farmer’s share. These results highlight the need for policy intervention to improve market structure and behavior, thereby enhancing marketing efficiency and farmer welfare.

Abstract

Frangipani contains thiol protease enzymes, particularly in its stem. The stem's thiol protease qualifies as a vegetable rennet, which can be used as a milk coagulant to substitute animal-based rennet in cream cheese. This study aims to determine the physicochemical (yield, spreadability, protein content, and moisture content) and organoleptic characteristics (taste, color, aroma, texture, and overall preference) of cream cheese made using thiol protease from frangipani stem as a substitute for animal rennet. A completely randomized design was applied for physicochemical testing, and a randomized block design was used for organoleptic testing, followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Treatments included: PK (0.2% animal rennet), P1 (0.2% frangipani stem thiol protease), P2 (0.4% frangipani stem thiol protease), and P3 (0.6% frangipani stem thiol protease). The results showed that different concentrations of frangipani stem thiol protease significantly affected (P<0.05) the physicochemical parameters (yield, spreadability, protein, and moisture content). Organoleptic evaluation also showed significant differences (P<0.05) in color, taste, aroma, texture, and overall preference. The best treatment was P3 (0.6%), with a yield of 20.68%, moisture content of 73.25%, protein content of 14.73%, and excellent spreadability

Abstract

Sorghum bicolor var Samurai 2  is a well growing variety in dry land. The purpose of this study was to investigate the best total forage biomass production and sugar content in stems as results of different cutting age and urea doses at primary cut and cutting after first and second ratoon. The study used a factorial randomized block design (3 x 3) with 4 replications. The first factor was different age consisting of 80, 85, and  90 days and the second factor was different doses of urea consisting of 200, 300, and 400 kg ha-1. The results showed that there was no significant interaction effect on parameters. At the primary harvest,  both cutting age and nitrogen level showed no significant effect (p >0.05) on chlorophyl (unit), panicle proportion (%), and total forage biomass production (ton/ha-1).  The cutting age of plant affected (p <0.05) tiller number, the proportion of stem and leaf (%). At  second harvest (ratoon 1) there was significant effect of the cutting age (p <0.05) on tiller number, proportion of fresh leaf and total forage biomass production. Furthermore, at third harvest (ratoon 2) the cutting age showed significant effect (p <0.05) on tiller number and leaf proportion. It was found at third harvest (second ratoon) that delaying the cutting age resulted in a significant decrease in total biomass production and an increase in stem brix sugar content (%) compared to first harvest (primary) and second harvest (ratoon 1) in sorghum var Samurai 2

Abstract

The success of Artificial Insemination (AI) programs in cattle largely depends on the quality of semen after freezing. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of supplementing cauda epididymis plasma (CEP) diluent by Moringa oleifera seed extract (MSE) on the post-thaw quality of Simmental bull semen. Semen samples were collected by bulls by individual motility ≥70% and processed at the Singosari Artificial Insemination Center between October and December 2024. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) by four MSE concentrations: 0, 1, 5, and 10 mg/mL of MSE. each tested replicated in six for motility, viability, and membrane integrity. Observations were conducted utilizing microscopy and evaluated statistically by ANOVA and Duncan’s test. The outcomings indicated that 5 mg/mL of MSE yielded the highest semen quality post-thaw, by motility of 43.33±3.73%, viability of 83.17±1.07%, and membrane integrity of 84.08±1.06% (P<0.05). These outcome demonstrate that MSE supplementation enhances the antioxidant capacity of the CEP diluent, effectively reducing oxidative damage and preserving semen quality during cryopreservation. This suggests that Moringa oleifera seed extract represents a promising natural additive for improving the efficacy of frozen semen used in artificial insemination programs.
