Abstract

The decline in shallot production was caused by low seed quality in quantity and price. One of the government's efforts to overcome the problem of shallot productivity is by using True Shallot Seed (TSS) seeds. This research aimed to determine the comparison of production results and farming costs for tuber shallot and True Shallot Seed (TSS). This research was conducted in Parangtritis Village, Kapanewon Kretek, Bantul Regency. The research method used was comparative with a sample of 14 tuber shallot farmers and 33 TSS shallot farmers. The sample in this study was selected using a saturated sampling technique. The research results show that the average production of tuber shallot and TSS in the off-season on sandy coastal land is 475 kg/1000 m2 and 398 kg/1000 m2. A comparison of the production results of tuber shallot and TSS using SPSS shows Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.597 > 0.05, which means there is no significant (real) difference between the average production of tuber shallot and TSS. The cost of farming TSS shallots during the off-season on sandy coastal land is Rp. 7,106,500, while farming tuber shallot is Rp. 9,427,000. This shows that the costs of farming TSS shallots are cheaper than the costs of farming tuber shallots. Based on this research, it is necessary to increase the role of extension workers and the independence of farmers in developing tuber shallot and TSS shallot farming, which is more prospective to be cultivated in the off-season on sandy coastal land.

Abstract

Gunung Anyar District in Surabaya focuses on agropolitan development to encourage regional economic growth, especially in agribusiness. Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are important in improving the economy, reducing unemployment, and improving welfare. However, MSMEs face challenges with branding, digital marketing, and environmental impact. The community service program by UPN Veteran East Java aims to support the development of MSMEs through digitalization, product branding, and product diversification. The program also discusses environmental issues, including waste management and Urban Farming. Collaboration between local governments, MSMEs, and the community is essential for the success of this program. The program aims to overcome barriers such as low sales turnover and limited market access, strengthen the position of MSMEs in a competitive market, and become an example of sustainable business practices. The Lecturer Team conducts continuous socialization and assistance related to MSME skills in implementing digital marketing, training and mentoring "e-brilliant MSMEs" and maintaining cleanliness and preservation of the surrounding environment to reduce carbon footprint, increase green open space, and meet food needs through urban farming.

Abstract

“Urutan” chicken is one of the processed meat products processed through the manufacture of meat dough, fat and complete Balinese spices ("Basa Genep"). Extending the shelf life of “urutan” chicken can be done by smoking process either by cold smoking method or hot smoking. Smoke can preserve food ingredients due to the presence of acid, phenolic and carbonyl compounds. The method used in this study is Randomized Block Design (RBD) with a factorial pattern consisting of 2 factors, namely Factor I is Hot Smoking Technique consisting of 3 levels and Factor II is Smoking Time consisting of 4 levels so that 12 treatment combinations are obtained and 2 repetitions are carried out so that 24 experimental units are obtained. The parameters observed include phenol content, water content, ash content, fat content, protein content, Esherichia coli and Salmonella sp. Statistical analysis shows that smoking time has a significant effect (sig <0.05) on the phenol content of “urutan” chicken, but does not have a significant effect (sig> 0.05) on the fat and protein content of “urutan” chicken. The fat content of “urutan” chickens in the smoking duration treatment at a temperature of 100 ° C ranged from 9.798 - 11.870%. The lowest fat content was obtained in 2 hours of smoking, which was 9.798% which was not significantly different from other treatments. The protein content of “urutan” chickens in the smoking treatments of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 hours ranged from 11.788 -12.197%. The smoking duration did not have a significant effect on the protein content of “urutan” chickens, which was probably because the smoking duration of 0.5 -2 hours had not denatured the protein sequence. The phenol content of “urutan” chickens in the smoking treatments of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 hours ranged from 0.206 - 0.312%. The highest phenol content was obtained in 2 hours of smoking at a smoking temperature of 100 ° C, which was 0.312%. The results showed that the longer the smoking, the higher the phenol content of “urutan” chickens. The lowest pH value was obtained in the 100 °C 2-hour smoking treatment of 5.16, which was significantly different from other treatments. The highest water content was obtained in the 100 °C 2-hour temperature treatment of 63.19%, which was significantly different from other treatments

Abstract

Balinese pigs are one of the livestock commodities that the community has raised. However, their maintenance is still carried out traditionally by utilizing makeshift feed ingredients in the vicinity, so the appearance of Balinese pigs is not optimal with indicators, and their growth is still below the NRC standard. With simple maintenance, the weight gain of local pigs can only be achieved 180-260 gr/head/day, which is still below the NRC standard of 500-750 gr/head/day. Therefore, efforts must be made to increase weight gain by improving feed quality through fermentation. This study aims to improve the performance of local Balinese pigs by treating feed with various fermentation times from surrounding materials such as banana stems, forage, and complete feed mixtures (rice bran, fine corn, and concentrates). This study used a complete randomized design with fermented feed treatment with variations in fermentation time, namely feed without fermentation (F0), feed fermented for 14 days (F1), and feed fermented for 28 days (F2). Each treatment used 3 Balinese/local pigs of 2-3 months old weaning age with a weight range of 10-12 kg. The banana stem and lamtoro leaf-based feedstuffs fermented for 28 days showed significant results or the best on the performance of Balinese pigs.

Abstract

Curd is a processed product from buffalo milk through a fermentation process. The clumping of fresh buffalo milk into curd occurs due to the presence of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in buffalo milk. Curd contains lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are beneficial for health. These bacteria not only extend the shelf life of food by inhibiting the growth of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria but also produce bioactive compounds that are good for the body. LAB contained in curd even has probiotic properties. This research used a starter of 10% buffalo milk curd. In one production, 4500 ml of fresh buffalo milk and 500 ml of starter are used, yielding 3.8 kg of buffalo milk curd. The results of observations during 7 days of fermentation were water content (81.25-72.53%), ash content (0.93-0.89%), protein content (8.97-7.94%), fat content (7 .72-7.10%), carbohydrate content (1.13-11.54%), pH value (5.72-4.27), temperature (26.87-28.43oC), Total Lactic Acid Bacteria (1.6x109- 8.1x109 cfu/ml).
