Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of fermented coconut waste on the growth of catfish (Clariassp). The study design used was completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 5 replications. Treatments included P0 (0% of fermented coconut waste in the feed), P1 (10% of fermented coconut waste in the feed), P2 (20% of fermented coconut waste in feed), and P3 (30% of fermented coconut waste in the feed). The observed variables were feed consumption, absolute body weight, feed conversion and survival rate. The results showed that using fermented coconut waste for catfish diet significantly (P <0.05) affected feed intake, absolute body weight, feed conversion and live survival of the fish. The conclusion of this research was using 20% of fermented coconut waste in the diet can increase the growth of catfish (Clariassp).

Abstract

At the end of 2015, this study has been conducted to describe the planning; process; and evaluation of collaborative training using a comparative approach, 220 and 44 beef cattle farmers participated as informant in both types of - collaborative and non-collaborative training respectively. Fifteen informants representing stakeholder provided primary data. Both primary and secondary data were analyzed by using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The results showed that planning was based on an effort to accomplish the discrepancy of cattle farmer technical competency to perform breeding program. Process of conducting collaborative training focused on group management and keeping beef cattle. In non-collaborative training was on recording technics to prepare the issue of breeding cattle certificate. Collaborative training was assisted by a number of stakeholder facilitators, but, non-collaborative training was carried out by facilitators from an institution. Improvement of farmer technical competency has shown by adding of 58.41 % of cattle population, although there was an increasing of participant cognitive domain by 43.53 % at collaborative training. The recommendation advised that management and keeping cattle technical competency are continiously acquired for the half of groups (54.5%), while recording improvement should be taken into account at all groups (100 %).

Abstract

Food security issue after 2008 global-crisis is something relate with the climate change phenomenon which had worsened on the last few decades. The impact of global climate change can be seen from the fluctuation of main crops production yield in tropical countries. This has affected the food price fluctuations particularly on the grain price, both international and domestic markets. The rice-commodity, known for its thin market characteristics, is now also experiencing the fluctuation of production, its productivity and also the rice price. Considering the importance of rice as the main staple food in Indonesia, the purpose of this research is to identify the Indonesia’s rice price fluctuation (volatility) and to investigate how far climate change affects the Indonesian paddy production and rice price volatility. By applying monthly time-series data from 2007 to 2014, this research used ARCH-GARCH methods to find out the rice price volatility and VECM (Vector Error Correction Model) to investigate the impact of climate change phenomenon on the Indonesian paddy production, as well as rice price volatility both in the short-run and long-run. The result is important for the stakeholders and government in preventing the risk and uncertainty condition of paddy production and rice price fluctuation caused by climate change
