Abstract

Nematodiasis is a parasitic disease caused by infection with worms belonging to the class Nematoda and remains one of the major constraints in the livestock sector in Indonesia due to its impact on animal health and productivity. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal nematode eggs in beef cattle slaughtered at the Majeluk Slaughterhouse, Mataram City. A descriptive study was conducted using 96 fecal samples collected over an eight-week period. Samples were obtained directly from the rectum of cattle immediately after slaughter. Laboratory examinations were performed using native smear and flotation techniques to identify nematode eggs based on their morphological characteristics under microscopic observation. Prevalence was calculated as the proportion of positive samples relative to the total number of samples examined. Of the 96 samples analyzed, 36 were positive for gastrointestinal nematode eggs, resulting in a prevalence rate of 37.5%. Four types of nematode eggs were identified: Trichostrongylus sp., Oesophagostomum sp., Toxocara vitulorum, and Ostertagia sp. These findings indicate that gastrointestinal nematode infections are still present in slaughtered cattle at a moderate prevalence level. Therefore, improved control measures, including regular anthelmintic treatment and better livestock management practices, are necessary to reduce infection rates and minimize potential economic losses.

Abstract

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) is a strategic plantation crop contributing significantly to global sugar production. Early growth performance is a critical phase determining stand establishment and subsequent productivity, particularly in vegetative propagation systems using stem cuttings (setts). This study aimed to evaluate the early growth performance of the RGM 1010 Cultivar of sugarcane based on different stem sett positions (top, middle, and bottom) using a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. The experiment was conducted from July 2025 to January 2026 at the Experimental Farm of Politeknik Negeri Lampung, Indonesia. Observed parameters up to 10 weeks after planting (WAP) included survival percentage, plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, and number of internodes. Analysis of variance at the 5% significance level showed that sett position significantly affected survival percentage and plant height. The top setts produced the highest survival rate (92.5%) and plant height (153.5 cm), followed by middle and bottom setts. In contrast, number of leaves, leaf length, and number of internodes were not significantly influenced by sett position. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a weak and non-significant negative relationship (r = –0.324) between plant height and leaf number, indicating that stem elongation and leaf formation were relatively independent during early growth. The superior performance of top setts is attributed to higher meristematic activity and hormonal balance, promoting faster shoot and root initiation. Overall, while all sett positions were viable for vegetative propagation, top setts demonstrated better early vigor, providing practical implications for improving seedling establishment efficiency in sugarcane cultivation.

Abstract

The success of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) cultivation is determined by the quality of the seeds used. One effort to improve seed quality is through biopriming techniques based on natural ingredients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of shallot (Allium cepa L.) extract as a biopriming agent in increasing the viability and vigor of mung bean seeds, and to determine the optimum effective concentration. This study was conducted at the Ecophysiology Laboratory, Department of Agrotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau. The experimental design in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) with one factor with six levels of shallot extract concentration, namely 0% (control), 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% with four replications. The observation parameters consisted of germination power and germination rate, vigor index I and II, hypocotyl length, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight of the sprouts. Data analysis used ANOVA and Duncan's advanced test at the 5% level, and was supplemented with effect size analysis with eta-squared (η²). The results showed that 15% extract concentration was the optimum concentration in increasing germination rate and vigor II index. Germination rate and vigor II index decreased in direct proportion to the increase in extract concentration. The application of shallot extract had no significant effect on germination rate, hypocotyl length, root length, dry weight, and fresh weight of mung bean sprouts.

Abstract

The conversion of agricultural and livestock land into non-agricultural uses, particularly residential areas, has continued to increase in line with population growth and the expansion of peri-urban regions. Bawen District, a strategic area in Semarang Regency, is experiencing significant land-use pressure, resulting in a decline in productive land and posing a threat to the sustainability of livestock farming. This study aims to identify respondent characteristics, analyze internal and external factors, and formulate priority strategies for sustainable livestock land management. The research was conducted from July 25 to September 2, 2025, using observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review, with purposive sampling applied to 24 affected farmers. Data were analyzed using the IFE (Internal Factor Evaluation), EFE (External Factor Evaluation), SWOT, and IE matrices. The results indicate that most respondents are over 40 years old, have more than 10 years of farming experience, and are predominantly engaged in goat farming. The IFE score of 1.351 and the EFE score of 1.551 place the strategy in Quadrant I (aggressive position). The recommended priority strategy is the SO strategy, which includes optimizing farmers’ experience, promoting crop–livestock integration (zero waste farming), strengthening farmer groups, and applying alternative feed technologies such as fermentation, silage, and hydroponic fodder systems. These strategies are expected to enhance production efficiency and support the sustainability of livestock farming amid the increasing rate of land conversion.

Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a primary commodity in stabilizing the food supply of Indonesian people. However, currently the condition of dry land and paddy fields is experiencing land degradation. Land degradation can be restored to fertility using cow dung compost. This study was designed with a two-factor randomized block design (RAK). The first factor is compost consisting of three levels, namely K0 = without compost, K1 = 50% compost dose, K2 = 100% compost. The second factor consists of two levels, namely S0 = without jajar legowo, S1 = jajar legowo 2:1, resulting in six experimental combinations repeated three times, resulting in a total of 18 experimental units. The research results were tested using analysisi of variance (ANOVA) ά = 5%, followed by the least significant difference (LSD) test at the ά = 5% level. Observation variables included plant height (cm), number of productive tillers, number of full grains (per panicle), wet grain yield per plot (kg), and weight of 1,000 dry grains harvested. The results showed that the 2:1 jajar legowo compost system had no impact on plant height or tiller number at 25 days after planting. The application of compost using the 2:1 jajar legowo system significantly affected rice plant height and tiller number at 50 and 70 days after planting. There was an interaction between compost application and the jajar legowo system on rice plant height at MSP. The compost treatment using the 2:1 jajar legowo system significantly affected the weight of 1,000 grains and the harvest weight of the rice.

Abstract

Weed infestation in sugarcane cultivation is a major production-limiting factor that can reduce crop yield by 24–52%. The development of environmentally friendly weed control alternatives through the use of plant-based herbicides derived from bioactive plant compounds has become an increasingly relevant approach. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a phenol and saponin based bioherbicide (Herbiocide SL) in suppressing weed growth in dryland sugarcane ecosystems. The research was conducted from August to November 2025 at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung; the Integrated Laboratory and Technology Innovation Center, University of Lampung; and the sugarcane plantation area of PT. Gunung Madu Plantations, Central Lampung. A field experiment was designed using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications and six treatments. The treatments consisted of four bioherbicide dose levels (5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 L ha⁻¹), one mechanical weeding treatment, and one untreated plot as a control. Observations were conducted on weed community structure before and after application, dry weed biomass, as well as weed coverage and suppression rates. The results confirmed that Herbiocide SL acts as a contact herbicide. All tested dose levels (5–12.5 L ha⁻¹) effectively suppressed weed growth up to eight weeks after application (WAA), while the higher doses (10 and 12.5 L ha⁻¹) maintained their effectiveness up to 12 WAA. These findings provide a field-based scientific foundation for developing more sustainable weed management strategies in sugarcane cultivation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Yogurt is a processed dairy product resulting from the fermentation of milk by lactic acid bacteria, which are responsible for shaping its consistency, sensory profile, and functional attributes. Cilembu sweet potato puree is utilized as a natural prebiotic source due to its inulin and oligosaccharide content, which have the potential to enhance the growth and viability of beneficial bacteria. This study aimed to determine the optimal level of Cilembu sweet potato puree addition in the production of synbiotic yogurt based on physicochemical parameters, including viscosity, syneresis, water holding capacity, pH, and titratable acidity. The research was conducted using an experimental approach with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) comprising four treatment groups and five replications. The treatments consisted of P0 (control without the addition of puree), P1 (5%), P2 (10%), and P3 (15%) of Cilembu sweet potato puree calculated based on the weight of fresh milk. The data analysis was performed using a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to assess the effect of the treatments. When significant differences were observed, Duncan’s Multiple Range Test was applied as a post hoc analysis to compare the means. The findings showed that incorporating Cilembu sweet potato puree had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on syneresis and water holding capacity, while no significant differences were observed in the other parameters. The best treatment was observed at 15% puree addition, resulting in a syneresis value of 43.46% and a water holding capacity (WHC) of 56.30%. In conclusion, the incorporation of Cilembu sweet potato puree up to 15% effectively improved the stability of synbiotic yogurt, particularly by enhancing water holding capacity and reducing syneresis.

Abstract

Optimal livestock productivity is highly dependent on feed efficiency and the maintained animal health status. The use of Antibiotic Growth Promoters (AGPs) has been strictly limited due to the risk of antimicrobial resistance, making natural alternatives crucial for the modern livestock industry. Centella asiatica, a medicinal plant widely recognized for its bioactive compounds, offers significant potential for application in animal nutrition. This plant is rich in triterpenoids, saponins, and flavonoids, which possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties that collectively influence livestock metabolism and performance. This study aims to evaluate the potential and effectiveness of Centella asiatica as a feed additive in enhancing feed intake and growth performance across various livestock species. A systematic review was conducted on scientific publications from 2016 to 2026, accessed through online databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, focusing on the effects of Centella asiatica supplementation on livestock productivity parameters. The results of this review indicate that the inclusion of Centella asiatica in feed rations can improve feed intake, enhance nutrient utilization, and boost growth performance. Furthermore, its bioactive compounds contribute to improved gut health and immune response, which indirectly support superior growth outcomes. Several studies reported that the inclusion of Centella asiatica at optimal levels results in increased body weight gain and improved feed efficiency. In conclusion, Centella asiatica represents an effective natural approach to enhancing growth performance and feed efficiency, making it a highly relevant application in sustainable and antibiotic-free livestock production systems.

Abstract

Water spinach (Ipomoea reptans Poir.) is a short-duration leafy vegetable whose early growth and marketable biomass depend on efficient nutrient management. This study aimed to evaluate growth dynamics and production of water spinach following application of an amino acid biostimulant and NPK fertilizer. The experiment was conducted at the Integrated Field Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Lampung, in February 2026 using a one-factor randomized block design with three treatments and nine replications: no fertilizer, amino acid biostimulant (2 mL/L), and NPK 16-16-16 (1 g/L), applied as root drenches at 7 and 14 days after planting. The tested concentrations were selected to compare an organic growth-stimulating input with a mineral macronutrient source during the short vegetative cycle. Plant height and leaf number were recorded at 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 days after planting, and fresh weight was measured at harvest. Data were evaluated descriptively using means, standard deviations, and percentage increases over the control. At 7 days after planting, NPK and amino acid biostimulant produced plant heights 101.5% and 68.6% above the control, respectively. At 35 days after planting, NPK produced the highest fresh weight (742.13 ± 2.41 g), followed by the amino acid biostimulant (655.88 ± 2.36 g) and the control (485.51 ± 2.45 g); the amino acid treatment produced the highest leaf number (16 leaves). These results indicate that NPK supported greater final fresh biomass, whereas the amino acid biostimulant tended to support early vegetative growth and leaf formation.

Abstract

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a basic statistical method used to determine whether or not treatments have an effect on the observed response variables. Orthogonal polynomial analysis is a follow up test that functions to break down response trends into linear, quadratic, or higher order components. This study aimed to determine the analysis of variance and orthogonal polynomial analysis on the growth response of mustard greens (Brassica juncea) under various doses of NPK Grower fertilizer. The study was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 5 treatment levels G0 = Control (without NPK Grower), consist of G1 = 1 g/polybag, G2 = 2 g/polybag, G3 = 3 g/polybag, G4 = 4 g/polybag. The results of the follow up analysis using orthogonal polynomials showed that most plant growth responses followed a quadratic pattern, particularly in the variables of plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and fresh plant weight. This indicates the presence of an optimum dose capable of producing maximum growth. The optimum dose of NPK Grower fertilizer ranged from approximately 3.14 to 3.42 g/polybag, with an average value of around 3.2–3.3 g/polybag producing maximum growth results. In the root length variable, the response pattern was linear, meaning that increasing fertilizer doses continued to enhance root growth without reaching an optimum point within the tested dose range. The combination of analysis of variance and orthogonal polynomial analysis was able to provide more comprehensive information regarding the effect of NPK Grower.
