Abstract

The development of the livestock sub-sector generally aims to increase farmers' income, accelerate the availability of quality food, and ensure meat quality, especially pork, so that it can be consumed by the community with optimal nutritional content. Pig farming is one of the livestock businesses that has long been popular among the people in the province of East Nusa Tenggara, especially in Kefamenanu City, Timor Tengah Utara Regency. The objective of this study is to identify pig farming businesses and their marketing systems in Kefamenanu City. The research was conducted at Indomor Farm as a case study of pig farming businesses in Kefamenanu City. The method used in this study was a survey analyzed descriptively with a quantitative approach. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that: (1) There is only one marketing channel pattern for pork in Kefamenanu City, namely: Farmer - Livestock Slaughterer/Retailer - Consumer; and (2) The margin per kilogram of output produced by the pork marketing institution is Rp63.555,55 for farmers and Rp8.855,84 for livestock slaughterers/retailers. Overall, the pig farming business in Kefamenanu City is a viable and profitable venture to undertake.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of water restriction and exercise on hematological parameters in Bali calves (Bos javanicus) fed a complete diet based on Clitoria ternatea. Four post-weaning Bali calves were subjected to four treatments: T0: control (ad libitum water and feed), T1: water restriction (50% of daily water intake), T2: exercise (30 minutes 2 km daily), and T3: a combination of water restriction and exercise. The experimental design followed a Latin Square arrangement with four treatments and four periods as replication. Blood samples were collected at the end of each period to assess erythrocyte, leukocyte, hemoglobin, and haematocrite concentrations. The results showed no significant effects (P>0.05) of water restriction or exercise on any of the measured hematological parameters. Erythrocyte, leukocyte, hemoglobin, and haematocrite levels remained stable across all treatments, with haematocrite values ranging from 34.23% to 35.58%. These findings suggest that feeding Bali calves a nutritionally balanced diet containing Clitoria ternatea can help mitigate the physiological impact of environmental stressors such as water restriction and exercise. The results highlight the resilience of Bali cattle in maintaining hematological health under challenging conditions, indicating their suitability for eco-farming systems in arid and water-limited regions. Further research is recommended to explore additional physiological responses and long-term effects on animal productivity.

Abstract

Mirah Chicken is a native chicken that has long been developed in Simalungun Regency and is thought to originate from the red jungle fowl (Gallus gallus). Currently, Mirah Chicken is used as a culinary ingredient known as Dayok Nabinatur. The population Mirah Chicken is yet known, but extensive Mirah Chicken breeders are still found in Simalungun Regency. To increase the population and make reproduction more efficient, mating with artificial insemination is applied to the Mirah Chicken population developed at the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, UHN. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the quality of Mirah Chicken semen that will be used in the artificial insemination process. The basic population of Mirah Chickens was obtained from breeders in Simalungun Regency, where this basic population (G-D) has produced the first generation (G-1), which has reached a productive age of 8 months. The number of G-D and G-1 chickens used in this study was 5, respectively. The semen collection method was carried out by the massage method. The collected semen was evaluated macroscopically and microscopically in the livestock reproduction laboratory. The results of macroscopic evaluation showed that the volume of semen ranged from 0,14-0,18 ml/ejaculate, with a normal pH of 7,52-7,62, then the color of the semen was milky white, and the consistency was thick. The results of microscopic evaluation showed that the mass movement ranged from 1,4-2,0, and progress motility was around 72-74%. The sperm concentration parameter showed 8,12-10,47 x109 spermatozoa cells/ml with an abnormality of around 18,2-19,0%. The results of statistical analysis showed that there was no difference between G-D and G-1 for all parameters and it can be concluded that the quality of Mirah Chicken semen is classified as normal and can be used for artificial insemination.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effect of pre-freezing time on the quality of frozen Landrace boar semen. Semen was collected from four 2-3 year old Landrace boars. The semen was evaluated macroscopically and microscopically. Subsequently, good quality semen was diluted in a basic extender, then subjected to a holding time of 2 hours at 27-28°C. The semen was then centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 15 minutes. The spermatozoa pellet was re-diluted with a Spermax extender, packaged into 0.5 mL straws, and equilibrated for 2 hours at 3-5°C. After equilibration, the straws were frozen by placing them 10 cm above the surface of liquid nitrogen at ±-110°C for durations of 3, 6, 9, and 12 minutes. The straws were then immersed into liquid nitrogen at -196°C. Thawing was performed by immersing the straws into a water bath containing water at 37°C for 30 seconds, followed by evaluation of semen quality. The results showed that pre-freezing time had no significant effect (P>0.05) on semen quality after dilution and equilibration. However, it had a significant effect (P<0.01) on the recovery rate, motility, and viability of spermatozoa after thawing, with the best treatment being 9 minutes. It was concluded that a pre-freezing time of 9 minutes resulted in the highest quality of frozen Landrace boar semen compared to other treatments.

Abstract

Research was conducted to investigate the impact of different pre-freezing durations (PF) using a modified spermax (M) extender on the quality of frozen landrace boar semen. The study utilized fresh semen from four healthy Landrace boars aged 2-3 years. Fresh semen meeting SNI standards was diluted in SM extender and held at room temperature (27-28℃) for two hours. Subsequently, the semen was centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes, the supernatant was discarded, and the sperm pellet was re-diluted with SM extender at a 1:1 ratio. The semen was then packaged in 0.5 mL straws, placed on a freezing rack, and allowed to equilibrate for two hours at 3-5℃. Following equilibration, the semen was re-evaluated, and the straws were frozen above liquid nitrogen at -110℃ with varying pre-freezing times of 5, 8, 11, and 14 minutes. After the pre-freezing period, the straws were plunged into liquid nitrogen for final freezing and then stored in liquid nitrogen containers at -196℃. The results indicated that the duration of pre-freezing time did not lead to statistically significant differences (P>0,05) in sperm motility, viability, abnormality, and recovery rate (RR). In conclusion, pre-freezing times ranging from 5 to 14 minutes had a similar impact on the quality of frozen landrace boar semen.
