Abstract

This study aims to determine the chemical quality and fermentability of the rumen contents of female Bali Timor cattle in vitro. This research used an experimental method with T-test analysis (comparative test). The number of samples for each was 15 female Timor Bali cattle as replicates, taken from two different slaughterhouses, namely Bimoku abattoir (government-owned) and Aldia Oben abattoir (privately owned). The variables observed were crude protein, crude fiber content, and concentrations of VFA and NH3. The data obtained were analyzed using a T-test (independent sample t-test) at a significance level of 5%, namely comparing the quality of the cattle rumen contents of Bimoku and Oben abbatoir. All data were processed with SPSS 25 software. The statistical analysis results of the t-test showed that the crude protein content and concentration of NH3 of the two locations was not significantly different (P> 0.05), the crude fiber content of Bimoku RPH was significantly higher (P<0.05) than RPH Oben, and VFA concentration from RPH Oben was significantly (P<0.05) higher than Bimoku RPH. It was concluded that differences in abattoir management before slaughtering affected the quality of the rumen contents of female Timor Bali cattle

Abstract

The aims of this study was to determine the effect of the length of time of Chromolaena odorata biofermentation with putak flour carbon source on methane production, pH, NH3 and Total VFA in-vitro. The main materials used were Chromolaena odorata, putak flour, and rumen fluid.  The method used was an experimental method with a completely randomised design (CRD) pattern consisting of 4 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were LBf21 = 21 days biofermentation duration (as control); LBf14 = 14 days biofermentation duration; LBf7 = 7 days biofermentation duration; LBf0 = 0 days biofermentation duration. The variables studied were Methane Production, pH, NH3 and VFA in-vitro.  The results of statistical analysis on the variables of methane production, NH3 and total VFA showed that the treatment had no significant effect (P>0.05), while the pH value statistically showed that the treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the length of time of biofermentation of Chromolaena odorata silage. It is concluded that the length of time of the biofermentation process has not been able to increase the production of total VFA, NH3, and reduce methane production but is able to increase the pH value of Chromolaena odorata silage silage from the biofermentation process.

Abstract

The low productivity of pigs due to farmers’ limited knowledge and skills is suspected to depress farm income. This study aims to estimate the cash income of pig farmers in Borong District, East Manggarai Regency, and to identify its determinants. The research employed a survey design involving 100 farmers across four villages. Primary and secondary data were collected over one month using structured questionnaires. The measured variables included selling price of pigs, number of pigs owned, number of pigs sold, housing and equipment costs, and health costs. Income was calculated using input–output analysis; relationships among variables were examined using correlation and multiple linear regression within a Cobb–Douglas production function framework. The results show an average cash income from pig farming of IDR 5,863,760 per year. Empirically, three factors significantly influence income: selling price (positive association), number of pigs sold (positive association), and housing and equipment costs (negative association). The model demonstrates very strong explanatory power (R² = 0.965). These findings indicate that farmers’ income is primarily shaped by price dynamics and sales volume, while efficiency in production facility costs is key to profit optimization. Practical implications include strengthening managerial and technical capacity, improving market access, and streamlining production facility costs to raise productivity and income among pig farmers in Borong.

Abstract

Dryland regions present specific challenges in livestock management due to limited feed availability, water scarcity, high disease pressure, and extreme environmental conditions. This study aims to formulate strategies for improving sustainable livestock health through an integrated approach combining feed management, affordable technology, biosecurity, and institutional support. The research employs an in-depth literature review of empirical studies related to livestock health management, forage quality, sanitation, and environmental adaptation in dryland areas. The findings show that continuous access to high-quality feed through the use of drought-tolerant legumes, forage conservation, and household forage gardens can improve livestock immunity and reduce disease risks. The application of biosecurity measures, vaccination, and parasite control based on sanitation significantly reduces the prevalence of infectious diseases. In addition, affordable technologies such as temperature sensors, IoT-based monitoring, digital health record systems, and low-cost ventilation improve early detection accuracy and management efficiency. The success of livestock development in dryland regions is also influenced by government and institutional support through the provision of veterinary services, training, subsidies, and mentoring programs. Therefore, sustainable livestock health systems in dryland environments require the integration of nutrition, environmental management, technology, and policy to enhance livestock resilience and farmer welfare.

Abstract

Porang tuber (Amorphophallus muelleri) has potential as a functional food ingredient; however, its utilization is limited by the high oxalate content, which acts as an irritant and antinutritional compound. This study aimed to analyze the effects of NaCl concentration and soaking time on the reduction of oxalate content and on the color and aroma quality of porang flour. The experiment was arranged in a factorial Completely Randomized Design with NaCl concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 15% and soaking times of 0, 30, 60, and 90 minutes. Porang tubers were sliced, soaked, dried, and milled into flour. Oxalate content was determined using permanganometric titration, while sensory quality was evaluated organoleptically. The results showed that increasing NaCl concentration and soaking time significantly reduced oxalate content. The 15% NaCl treatment for 90 minutes produced the highest oxalate reduction while maintaining acceptable color and aroma quality.

Abstract

The study aims to find out, analyze and explain the influence of hydroxy methionine analogues, vegetable oil acids on the body composition of fattening male Balinese cattle. Using a Group Randomized Design (GRD) with four treatments and four tests. Sixteen heads of cattle with a weight range of 78-183 kg (average 130.5kg) with a CV of 25.33% were used as experimental units. The ration contains 18% protein and metabolic energy = 16 MJ/kg BK with a target weight gain of 0.6 kg/day. The ratio of concentrate administration is 2/3 part of the percentage of livestock needs (3% body weight) while rice straw and drinking water are provided ad libitum. Treatment as follows: RA = Concentrate + Rice Straw ad libitum (control); RB = RA + 3 g Hydroxy Methionine Analogue (AHM); RC = RA + 0.5% Vegetable Oil (MN) and RD = RA + 3 g AHM + 0.5% MN. The measured variables are the body composition of cattle (body urea, body protein, body fat, body water and body minerals). The results of the study of giving hay and concentrates containing Odorata without successive supplementation provided body composition: body water 53.16%; body protein 15.24%; body fat 12.13%; body minerals 3.81%. Meanwhile, the treatment supplemented by AHM and MN successively gave an average body composition: body water 53.52%; body protein 15.43%; body fat 12.57%; body minerals 3.83%. The results of statistical analysis showed that the administration of straw and concentrates containing C. odorata as well as AHM and MN supplementation had an unreal effect (P˃0.05) on the study composites. It was concluded that the use of AHM and vegetable oils gave the same importance to the parameters of the study.
