Abstract

Objective: An outbreak of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in Indonesia targeted ruminants, notably impacting dairy cows and precipitating a significant downturn in milk production during the year 2022. This research aimed to determine the financial feasibility and break-even point of post-FMD dairy farming within the Kampung Susu Lawu livestock group in Plaosan District, Magetan Regency.Methods: Employing a quantitative descriptive method, this study utilized survey techniques involving 50 dairy farmers affiliated with the Livestock Group of Kampung Susu Lawu. The data analysis encompassed investment analysis, including the Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR), Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Pay Back Period of Credit (PPC), and Break-Even Point (BEP).Results: The findings revealed a BCR value of 1.49, NPV amounting to IDR 38,888,178.00, IRR at 26.36%, PPC of 3.46 years, BEP pegged at IDR 33,043,062.00/year, and BEP based on the unit set at 7,396 liters of milk/year. Financial analysis indicated a positive NPV, a BCR exceeding 1, an IRR surpassing prevailing bank interest rates, and a PPC duration of 3.46 years, collectively affirming the financial feasibility of the dairy farming business.Conclusions: This investigation shows that the post-FMD smallholder dairy business is economically feasible. Farmers stand to accrue benefits by surpassing the production threshold of 7,396 liters of milk/year or by maintaining a herd of productive dairy cows numbering more than three.

Abstract

For several decades, a protocol based on the use of progestagens has been used to manage livestock reproduction with minimal alterations. Recently, researchers have gained insight into the short-term use of progestagen protocols lasting 5-7 days, which has been found to reduce the incidence of vaginitis and obviate the use of antibiotics. Additionally, this approach enables the reutilization of silicone-based devices such as CIDRs after a thorough biosecurity assessment. However, these devices have certain limitations. At the end of the treatment, they must be disposed of and cannot be reused, necessitating a re-evaluation of their use for technical and societal reasons, including animal health and welfare, food safety, and environmental impact.A chitosan-PEG intravaginal implant formulation released progesterone for a period of four days, corresponding to the degradation time of the implant in the vagina. The use of a simple melting and molding process for the combination of PCL-PEG-chitosan implants has been observed to result in degradation of both simulated vaginal fluid and vaginal tissue of cows. The development of intravaginal devices made from biodegradable polymers is considered a potential solution because these materials would degrade within the body, eliminating the need for removal and leaving no residue. These devices are safe for animals and the environment.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the character of ice cream made from goat’s milk kefir (GMK) combined with mono-acylglycerol (MAG).Methods: GMK was produced by pasteurized goat’s milk (85oC for 15 s) and 2% kefir grain. Ice cream mix (ICM) was produced by GMK, MAG (T0= 0%, T1= 0.25%; T2= 0.50%; T3= 0.75%), 4% sucrose, and 0.1% salt. The results of observations processed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) if there were a significant difference between treatments.Results: Es puter (EP) made from GMK in combination with MAG has a distinctive character against T0 (control). The use of GMK decreases the pH value, thereby increasing the lactic acid and ethanol content which brings out the acidity of the product (p<0.05). In addition, increasing MAG concentration can improve the EP’s overrun to make the product more melt resistant (p<0.05). The use of GMK combined with MAG can support the viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast through storage in the freezer. The number of viable LAB and yeast meets WHO standards to obtained health benefit from consuming probiotic ice cream.Conclusions: To conclude, EP made from GMK in combination with 0.50% MAG was proved to be the best treatment.

Abstract

Objective: The sperm sexing using an albumin column requires an incubation process at a certain temperature for sperm to move through the albumin layer. It is thought that the incubation time can influence the quality of the semen resulting from post-thawing sexing. The aim of this research was to determine the effect of incubation time on the quality of sexed sperm post-thawing and to find out the optimum incubation time that provide the best sperm quality.Methods: This research was carried out in a completely randomized design, using three incubation times (T1= 45 minutes, T2= 60 minutes, T3= 75 minutes) with six replications. The parameters consisted of motility, abnormality and acrosome integrity of sexed sperm in the upper and bottom fractions. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (Anova) and continued with the Duncan test.Results: The results showed that the incubation time had a significant effect on motility, intact acrosome cap and recovery rate, but had no significant effect on abnormality of post thawed sexed sperm. For both the upper and bottom fraction, incubation times of 45 and 60 minutes produced the best motility and recovery rate compared to 75 minutes, but the best intact acrosome cup was obtained from an incubation time of 45 minutes.Conclusions: Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the length of incubation time influences the quality of post thawed ram sexed sperm, and 45 minutes is the optimal incubation time to provide the best quality.
