Abstract

The research problem is whether the technical aspects of raising buffalo livestock in West Aceh Regency have been implemented properly and correctly in accordance with the DITJENNAK guidelinesof 1992by buffalo breeders in West Aceh Regency.This research aims to examine theimplementation oftechnical aspects of local buffalo rearing in West Aceh Regency. The research locations covered 25 villages(5 villageseach district), namelyin5 villages Johan Pahlawan,Mereubo,Kaway XVI and Samatiga District. This study used a survey method of 100 buffalo breeders using a questionnaire.The parameters were1)aspects of breeding and reproduction,2)food, maintenance management,3)health,4)cages and equipment. The sampling technique is random and the number of samples is determined deliberately taking into consideration the breeders who are willing to be interviewed. The data obtained is processed by calculating the percentage score and then compared with the categories set by the Directorate General of Livestock (1992). The results showed that the implementation of the technical aspects of raising buffalorearingin West Aceh District was 41.71%,including the application of technical aspects of breeding and reproduction 57.72%, aspects of food13.74%,aspects of maintenance management 38.58%, health aspects 67.27%, cage and equipment aspects 52.09%. It can be concluded that the implementation of technical aspects of buffalo farming in West Aceh Regency is poor category with the guidelines of the Directorate General of Livestock (1992). From these results it is recommended that the technical aspects of buffalo rearing in West Aceh Regency should be improved in the future.

Abstract

The low environmental quality of pond water is caused, among other things, by the large amount of organic waste and nutrients (feed components) in pond water outflow. The remaining feed and feces (feces) decompose in pond water before being dumped into the nearby rivers, resulting in the discharge of high levels of nutrients and organic waste. One method for enhancing the effluent quality from aquaculture is a biofilter. In order to reduce and absorb dissolved organic contaminants, biofilters are used. It is possible to employ Gracilaria sp. as a biofilter, which is an efficient technique to increase sanitation. The study' goals were to determine how well Gracilaria sp. developed and how well seaweed absorbed N and P elements from vaname shrimp culture waste, specifically ammonia (NH3), nitrite (NO2), and nitrate (NO3). Three different treatments for the weights of the seaweed were employed in the study: 50, 75, and 100 grams. The analysis showed that the 100 g of Gracilaria sp. was very effective in absorbing N and P waste. It was discovered that N and P component absorption was, respectively, 75.10% and 75.15% effective.

Abstract

The high rate of metabolic activity during breeding, pregnancy, parturition and lactation may lead to oxidative stress in sheep and goats. Antioxidant supplementation is proposed as a therapy for encountering resultant stress. In animals, -carotene functions mainly as pro-vitamin A and as a scavenger of free radicals, especially against singlet-state oxygen. This raises the question of whether supplementing -carotene as an antioxidant above the vitamin A requirement is beneficial. While a number of studies have been conducted on the effect of -carotene supplementation as a tool to improve the production and reproduction performance of female goats and sheep, the findings are inconsistent. Some of the main reasons for this inconsistency could be attributed to the variation in the amount of -carotene supplemented, the amount of -carotene in the animal diet and the difference in the animal requirement for -carotene. The objective of this review was to determine the effects of -carotene supplementation on the production and reproductive performance of female sheep and goats fed on a diet deficient or not deficient in -carotene. Data were extracted from peer-reviewed articles that were searched in the Web of Science, Google Scholar and Scopus databases. Thirteen peer-reviewed published articles were found on the subject under review. We estimated the animal requirement for -carotene, the amount of -carotene provided to the animal in the diet and the amount of -carotene supplementation used in each study. These estimations were made to indicate whether the diet fulfilled the animal's requirement for -carotene or not. The review revealed that -carotene supplementation enhances the production and reproduction performance of the sheep when fed on a carotene-deficient diet. Additionally, -carotene supplementation may increase the levels of some hormones such as progesterone in sheep and goats when fed on a diet that fulfils their requirements of -carotene. However, the supplementation of -carotene above the requirements seems to not affect the production and reproduction parameters such as body weight, milk production, estrus parameters, conception rate, pregnancy rate, and litter size.In conclusion, while -carotene supplementation is essential for female sheep and goats fed -carotene-deficient diets to attain optimal production and reproductive performance, supplementing -caroteneabovethe requirements does not appear to provide any further benefits to their overall performance.

Abstract

Osun River is a major river in the Ogun-Osun River Basin and contributes significantly to fish production and quality source of protein. It is therefore essential to investigate the condition and characteristics of the most abundant fish species in the river. This aim was achieved by investigating the Morphometric parameters, sex ratio, and condition factor of Oreochromis niloticus and Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus in the lower section of the river; because these fish species were the most abundant and economically important. Monofilament gillnets were used for fish sampling for twelve months to cover both wet and dry seasons (November 2017 to October 2018). A total of 1597 individuals of both species were collected comprising 40.13% O. niloticus samples and 59.87% samples of C. nigrodigitatus. The correlation coefficient (r) for O. niloticus and C. nigrodigitatus were 0.78 and 0.89 which indicated a high and very high relationship respectively. O. niloticus showed a significant negative allometric growth pattern (b = 2.315) while C. nigrodigitatus showed a growth pattern that was significant and positively allometric (b = 3.102). The mean condition factor (K) was 2.8 for O. niloticus and 1.9 for C. nigrodigitatus. The sex ratio of male to female was 1.5:1 for O. niloticus and 1.2:1 for C. nigrodigitatus. It can be said that both fish species responded well in the river and it is therefore essential to maintain optimal environmental factors for the sustainability of these fish species in the river.

Abstract

Experimental research was done in Bubi district, a semi-arid region to find the prevalence of parasites and their related diseases during the rainy season. The research was done in order to identify the prevalence of both internal and external parasites of cattle kept in a wildlife zone and identify age and breed influence on hardiness. In a total population of 320 cattle, 36 cattle were sampled, considering the age and breed. Brahman, Angus, and Beef Master were used, at varying stages of growth namely calves, weaners, and cows and bulls. Veterinary assistance was sort in the identification of parasites, although literature was also used in the process. A high prevalence of external parasites was found in four identified hard ticks; the Rhipicephalus (boophilus) decloratus with an average of 27.44, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (10.50), A.variegatum spp (0.83) and Hyalomma (0.44). Internal parasites were identified from the following species; the Fasciola spp with an average of (1.89), Fasciola eggs (1.28), Trematode eggs (2.81), Strongyle eggs (2.50), and the Ascaris lumbricoides (0.14). The blood parasite found was Anaplasma spp (1.11 bacteria per ml). Weaners were more susceptible to parasitism. Beef master was the most resilient breed against parasites. Brahman and Angus had a high level of disease resistance due to their minimum mortality recorded. Both internal and external parasitic levels were major health threats although no relationship between wildlife-livestock disease interactions was found. Weaners require more attention in parasitic treatment since they were the most susceptible.
