Abstract

Background. Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is a strategic infectious animal disease that has a significant impact on the health of cattle and economic losses for farmers. Cirebon Regency has been one of the areas affected by the LSD outbreak since the beginning of 2023. Aims. This study aims to analyze the morbidity rate, form of treatment, and mitigation strategies of LSD disease in Cirebon Regency. Method. The research method used is a descriptive approach with quantitative and qualitative components (mixed methods). Quantitative data were obtained from LSD case reports in the iSIKHNAS system for the 2023–2025 period to calculate morbidity rates, while qualitative data were collected through interviews with farmers, animal health workers, and the Department of Agriculture related to LSD handling and mitigation. Results. The results of the study show that the LSD morbidity rate in Cirebon Regency has decreased significantly from 7.86% in 2023 to 0.23% in 2024, and slightly increased to 0.75% in 2025. The decrease in morbidity is related to increased control efforts, especially vaccination, handling sick livestock, and the active involvement of animal health workers. LSD management is carried out through supportive therapy, isolation of sick livestock, cage sanitation, and vector control, while mitigation is focused on vaccination, livestock traffic restrictions, biosecurity, and livestock education. The FMEA analysis shows that livestock traffic control, vaccination coverage, and vector control are the top priorities for mitigation, with the highest risk. Conclusion. This study concludes that LSD control in Cirebon Regency has shown positive results, but it is necessary to strengthen mitigation in an integrated and sustainable manner to prevent the re-emergence of LSD disease in the future. Implications. The policy implications of this study emphasize the need for an integrated, data-driven, and sustainable LSD control strategy. Synergy between local governments, animal health workers, and breeders is a key factor in reducing the risk of LSD transmission and minimizing the economic impact and health of livestock in Cirebon Regency.

Abstract

Background. The only flying mammals, bats play an essential role in their natural habitat. Based on the type of food, bats can be divided into two groups: fruit-eating bats and insect-eating bats. Bats rank second-highest in species diversity, with 1,439 worldwide and 239 in Indonesia. Known as reservoirs of viruses, including coronaviruses. Bats are suspected to be related to COVID-19. Aims. Under the Research Innovation and Collaboration Program - Higher Education for Technology and Innovation Project (HETI) University of Lampung 2024-2025, and in collaboration with the Lampung Disease Investigation Centre, learning the procedures for handling bats properly so as not to physically harm bats in oral swab sampling and species recognition in Braja Harjosari, directly next to Way Kambas National Park was done. The life-trapping technique uses a mist net. Methods. Bat handling for taking an oral swab was carried out using the pinch grip method, holding both bat arms backwards with the thumb and middle finger, with the bat positioned facing upwards. Conclusion. The bat's mouth is then blown open, and a cotton swab is gently inserted into the bat's mouth. Afterwards, the bat is rested and given a drink/water and released into nature. Oral swab samples from 10 individual bats, fruit-eating bats, Cynopterus brachyotis (n = 8), Cynopterus horsfieldii (n = 1), and an insect-eating bat, Scotophilus kuhlii (n = 1).

Abstract

The study was conducted at the Agricultural, Fisheries, and Forestry Extension Agency (BP3K) in Cilamaya Wetan District, Karawang Regency, West Java, at an elevation of 8.9 m above sea level, from December 2022 to March 2023. Aims. The research focuses on exploring how the recommended percentage of NPK fertilizer interacts with biological fertilizer to affect the growth and yield of the lowland rice variety Inpari 32 and to determine the ideal biological fertilizer for each NPK dose level that maximizes grain weight per plot. Methods. The experimental design used was a factorial pattern, a Randomized Block Design with two factors and repeated three times. The first factor is the dose of NPK fertilizer (N), which includes three treatment levels, namely: n1 = 100% of the suggested dose (500 g plot-1); n2 = 50% of the suggested dose (250 g plot-1), and n3 = 25% of the suggested dose (125 g plot-1). The second factor is the biological fertilizer dose (H), which includes 3 treatment levels, namely: h1 = 0% of the recommended dose (0 g plot-1); h2 = 50% of the recommended dose (15 g plot-1), and h3 = 100% of the recommended dose (30 g plot-1). Result. The experimental results indicated an interaction between the recommended percentage of NPK fertilizer and biological fertilizer regarding plant height and number of tillers aged 28 Days After Planting (DAP), 42 DAP, and 56 DAP, along with the number of productive tillers, panicle length, grain weight per panicle, grain weight per clump, and grain weight per plot. The highest grain weight per plot of 24.32 kg was attained at the advised NPK fertilizer dosage of 100%, along with the ideal recommended biological fertilizer dose of 66,10% (r2 = 0.92). Conclusion. The suggested NPK fertilizer dosage of 50% yielded the highest grain weight per plot of 23.77 kg, using the ideal recommended biological fertilizer amount of 60.19% (r2 = 0.90). Implication. With a suggested application of NPK fertilizer of 25%, the highest grain mass per plot of 23.15 kg at an ideal biological fertilization rate of 55.10% (r2 = 0.94).

Abstract

Background. This study examines the success of native chicken farming in Fakfak Regency, which remains an important livelihood activity but faces various technical and institutional constraints. Aims. The study aims to analyze the influence of technical, economic, and social factors on farming success, as well as to assess the moderating role of Good Farming Practices (GFP). Methods. A mixed-method approach was applied, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. Data were collected through surveys and in-depth interviews with smallholder farmers. Quantitative data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and moderation analysis, while qualitative data were used to enrich the interpretation of findings. Result. The results indicate that technical factors, such as feeding management and disease control, have the most dominant influence on farming success, followed by economic and social factors. The GFP index significantly strengthens the relationship between these production factors and business outcomes, suggesting that better farming practices enhance overall performance. Conclusion. Qualitative findings reveal persistent challenges, including limited feed availability, weak institutional support, and low adoption of improved technologies. In conclusion, strengthening technical management and promoting GFP implementation are critical for improving productivity. Implementation. The study implies that policy interventions and extension services should focus on capacity building and sustainable farming practices to support smallholder farmers.

Abstract

Background. Bats are recognized as important reservoir hosts for various zoonotic viruses, including coronaviruses, posing potential public health risks, particularly in urban environments where human–animal interactions are frequent. Aims. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of RNA isolation from oral swab samples of bats captured in urban areas of Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, as a preliminary step for molecular detection of viral pathogens. Methods. Sampling was conducted using mist nets in the University of Lampung area, followed by oral swab collection and preservation in viral transport medium. RNA isolation was performed through four main stages: lysis, binding, washing, and elution. The quality of RNA was assessed using agarose gel electrophoresis, while the quantity was measured using a Qubit Fluorometer. Result. A total of six bats were successfully sampled, consisting of Cynopterus brachyotis and Cynopterus sphinx. Qualitative analysis revealed a single thin, luminescent band in all samples, indicating suboptimal RNA integrity. Quantitative results showed RNA concentrations ranging from 0.58 to 2.03 ng/µL, with three samples falling within the acceptable range (1.8–2.0 ng/µL), suggesting adequate RNA purity. Variations in RNA quality and concentration were likely influenced by factors such as incubation duration and sample handling, potentially leading to contamination or degradation. Conclusion. In conclusion, RNA isolation from bat oral swabs in urban areas is feasible; however, protocol optimization is necessary to improve RNA integrity and yield. High-quality RNA is essential for reliable downstream molecular analyses, including viral detection and surveillance of zoonotic diseases

Abstract

Background. The dormancy of Arabica coffee seeds is one of the main obstacles in the provision of quality seeds because the hard seed skin causes the germination process to take place slowly and is not uniform. Purpose. This study aims to obtain the best combination of types and concentrations of strong acids and planting media in increasing the viability, vigor, and growth of Arabica coffee seeds of the Sigararutang variety. Method. The research was carried out at the Greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Winaya Mukti University, using a Split-Plot Design with three replications. The main plot consists of two planting media, namely a mixture of soil: husk charcoal (2:1) and soil: manure (2:1), while the subplot is a combination of three types of strong acids (H₂SO₄, HNO₃, and HCl) at concentrations of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The parameters observed included germination age, germination power, growth rate, percentage of Soldier phase, percentage of Kepel phase, and seedlings height aged 91 days after planting. The data was analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with the Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a real level of 5%. Results. The results showed that there was a real interaction between the combination of strong acids and planting media on germination age and germination power. Treatment of HNO₃ 5% and HCl 10% on soil media: husk charcoal produces the fastest germination rate, while HNO₃ 5%, H₂SO₄ 20%, and HCl 10% on the same media result in the highest germination rate of 100%. The 5% HNO₃ treatment provides the best growth speed and seedlings height up to 8.11 cm at the age of 91 days after planting. Conclusion. Soil media: husk charcoal consistently yields better results than soil media: manure on most growth parameters. Thus, scarification using HNO₃ 5% combined with soil media: husk charcoal is recommended as the most effective pre-planting treatment to accelerate germination, increase viability and vigor, and produce more optimal early growth of Arabica coffee seeds.
