Abstract

The racing pigeon (Columba livia) has an aesthetic value and is in high demand. Pigeon is monomorphic, difficult to distinguish between male and female individuals, especially at the age of offspring. Knowing the sex of birds from an early age is necessary to prepare male bird individual as racing bird. Accurate determination of the sex of racing pigeons from an early age was carried out to have scientific confirmation of the molecular method of determining the sex in racing pigeon. Under Lampung Disease Investigation Center program, molecular methods of PCR techniques using primers 2550F and 2718R were applied to determine the sex of bird based on the presence of Z and W chromosomes from young feathers of racing pigeons. Sampling young feathers was done in individual breeders in Kota Metro and East Lampung. Molecular analysis was carried out at the Biotechnology Laboratory of the Lampung Disease Investigation Center, consisted of extraction, amplification, electrophoresis, and data analysis. Fifteen young feather samples showed five male individuals with electrophoresis visualization formed one band measuring 600 bp and ten female individuals showed two bands measuring 600 bp and 400 bp.

Abstract

Background: Indramayu Regency contributes significantly to rice production, facing a serious challenge, namely double pressure. Increase in production input prices (seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, labor) and fluctuations in grain prices that tend to suppress profit margins. This study aims to explore the form of farmers' rationality to the influence of double pressure and identify the adaptations applied by farmers in managing risks and responding to realities in the field. Method: A descriptive qualitative approach of data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation in five main sub-districts, and then analyzed with Miles and Huberman's interactive model with source triangulation techniques to strengthen the validity of the data. Results: Indicate that profit-loss calculations, limited access to production resources, local social networks, and historical farming experience contextually influence farmers' rationality. Farmer adaptation also reveals the emergence of ecological and institutional dimensions, which are grounded in local experiences and community innovation. Conclusion, farmers in Indramayu not only survive but also transform the face of double pressures, demonstrating complex rationality and multidimensional adaptation

Abstract

Abstract Background. The main agricultural product that yields rice as a primary food source in Indonesia is rice plants (Oryza sativa L. ). This crop is vital for fulfilling the country's food demands. A significant challenge to achieving food security and independence nationally is the reduction in productivity, which results from soil fertility loss due to the overuse of chemical fertilizers. Aims. To address these challenges, strategies have been put in place, such as incorporating organic materials and utilizing soil microbes, which can be included in contemporary agricultural practices. The use of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) is one method to enhance plant growth. This study aimed to investigate the influence of PGPR on the growth and yield of rice plants (Oryza sativa L). Methods. The study was conducted from April to August 2025 in Babadan Village, located within Cirebon Regency in West Java. The experimental design utilized a Group Random Design (RAK) featuring six different PGPR concentrations, tested four times, resulting in 24 experimental plot units: P0 (control), P1 (5 ml/l), P2 (10 ml/l), P3 (15 ml/l), P4 (20 ml/l), and P5 (25 ml/l). Observations included various metrics such as plant height, number of sprouts in each clump, leaf area, root volume, plant growth rate (LPT), number of productive sprouts per clump, length of panicles, total grains per panicle, the percentage of filled grains per clump, weight of filled grains per clump, weight of 1,000 grains, total weight of harvested dry grains per clump, total weight of harvested dry grains per plot, and weight of milled dry grains per plot. Result. The findings indicated that PGPR positively affected multiple growth and yield characteristics. Specifically, PGPR application significantly influenced plant height, root volume, the number of panicles per clump, length of panicles per clump, grains per panicle, the percentage of grains per clump, weight of grains per clump, weight of 1,000 grains, weight of harvested dry grains (GKP) per clump, weight of GKP per plot, and weight of milled dry grains (GKG) per plot. Conclusion. The highest yields of harvested dry grains (GKP) and milled dry grains (GKG) per plot occurred with the PGPR treatment at a concentration of 15 ml/l, resulting in 6. 13 kg and 5. 81 kg, respectively. Implementation. Farmers in Babadan Village can adopt the PGPR treatment at a concentration of 15 ml/l.

Abstract

Background. Now, the role of functional food has become more important in maintaining and controlling public health. Yogurt can be an alternative, as it is familiar, well-liked, and has been reported by many for its functional properties. Aims. The development of ‘kecipir’ed ‘kecipir’s (Psophacarpus tetragonolobus L.) into food products is still relatively rare, even though it has great potential because it contains high nutrients and several bioactive components. The manufacture of ‘kecipir’s into yogurt, especially using lactic acid (BAL) bacterial starters, is a mixture of nonprobiotic yogurt (SY) starter and probiotic starter (SP), which is expected to improve its functional properties. One of the essential functional properties of yogurt is its antimicrobial properties. Methods. This research was made in two stages. Phase I aimed to identify the best antimicrobial properties of the 7 BALs (2 SY and 5 BAL SP) against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial activity test employed the agar diffusion method, which is measured by the diameter of the clear zone of inhibition around the sound hole in the agar medium. Phase II aims to determine the optimal combination of a 4% starter mixture (SY+SP) that produces the best antimicrobial and organoleptic properties in cheesecake yogurt. Result. Phase I research produced four best BAL starters, namely two SY (BAL 1 Lactobacillus bulgaricus FNCC 0041 UGM and BAL 2 Streptococcus thermophillus ITB), as well as two SP (BAL 5 Lactobacillus acidophillus UNPAD and BAL 7 Bifidobacterium spp UNPAD). Phase II research obtained results that the antimicrobial properties were significantly different at the level of 5%, from the highest, namely SY4–SP0 starters at level a, SY1–SP3 starters at levels a, b, and combinations of SY3–SP1, SY2–SP2, and SY0–SP4 at level b. Organoleptically (hedonic), the combination of SY1–SP3 was the highest preferred by the panelists. Conclusion. So the best mixed starter in this study is SY1–SP3, which comprises 1% of the SY starter mixture and 3% of the SP starter mixture
