Abstract

The success of male muscovy cultivation is mainly reflected in production performance. Feed management is a determining factor for this success. This study aims to analyze the effect of feed containing dried water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) on the performance of male Muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata) and determine the optimal inclusion level.The research was conducted experimentally using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatments applied were P0 (diet + 0% dried water hyacinth), P1 (diet + 5% dried water hyacinth), P2 (diet + 10% dried water hyacinth), and P3 (diet + 15% dried water hyacinth). The variables observed included daily feed intake, average daily gain (ADG), feed efficiency, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and feed cost per gain (FC/G). Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and if significant differences were found, Duncan’s multiple range test was performed. The results showed that the inclusion of dried water hyacinth had a significant effect on all observed variables. The 10% inclusion level (P2) produced the best results, with higher feed intake, optimal ADG, highest feed efficiency, lowest FCR, and the lowest feed cost per kilogram of weight gain. The results demonstrate that including dried water hyacinth at levels up to 10% improves the performance of male Muscovy ducks and offers a cost-effective feeding strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the adoption of waste management technology on beef cattle farms in Bantarujeg District, Majalengka Regency. The technologies in question include the utilization of animal waste through composting treatment. This study employed a quantitative method with a survey approach involving 173 livestock farmers. The impact of independent variables on the technology adoption rate (the dependent variable) was analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that of the seven variables tested (age, education, livestock farmer attitudes, business scale, extension intensity, livestock farming experience, and access to information), only access to information had a significant effect on the adoption rate (p < 0.001). The adoption rate of waste management technology is generally low, compared to the majority of livestock farmers who have not yet implemented sustainable waste management. The main obstacles faced by livestock farmers include limited access to information, lack of technical assistance, and low awareness of the environmental and economic benefits of waste management technology. This study recommends increasing the intensity of extension services and access to relevant information, as well as government policy support to encourage livestock farmers to adopt waste management technology more widely.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the organoleptic properties, physical properties and acceptability of chicken sausages added with kepok banana peel flour (Musa Paradisiacal Linn) (TKP) as a fiber source filler, and to obtain the best balance of sausages added with kepok banana peel flour. This study was conducted experimentally using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The treatments given were in the form of additions (TKP) of 5 levels, namely: P0: 100% wheat flour + 0% TKP (as control),; P1: 95% wheat flour + 5% TKP; P2: 90% wheat flour + 10% TKP; P3: 85% wheat flour + 15% TKP; P4: 80% wheat flour + 20% TKP. Each treatment was repeated 4 times. The variables observed were physical properties (tenderness), organoleptic (color, taste, texture, and aroma) and acceptability. The data obtained were analyzed by ANOVA. The analysis results showed that the addition of TKP had a significant effect (P<0.05) on all tested parameters, except aroma (P>0.05). The highest taste value was found in the 5% TKP treatment (3.60 ± 0.23). Tenderness increased significantly in the 5% and 15% TKP treatments (4.00 ± 1.25 and 4.00 ± 0.00), indicating that TKP was able to increase the tenderness of the sausage. A significant decrease in color value occurred with increasing TKP concentration, where the darkest color was found in the 20% TKP treatment (1.45 ± 0.21). The highest acceptability was recorded in the 5% TKP treatment (4.00 ± 0.12) indices a potential high level of consumer acceptance. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the addition of TKP up to 5% is the best treatment to produce chicken sausages with the most preferred physical, organoleptic and acceptability properties.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of using ganyong flour (Canna edulis) as a substitute for wheat flour on the physical and organoleptic characteristics of chicken sempol, as well as to determine the optimal substitution level for producing the best product quality. The substitution was carried out at five levels: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% ganyong flour, using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. The observed variables included water holding capacity (WHC), tenderness, and organoleptic attributes such as color, taste, texture, aroma, juiciness, and panelist acceptability. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) for parametric data, and hedonic tests for organoleptic parameters.The results showed that before frying, ganyong flour substitution significantly improved color and maintained the taste and aroma without decreasing the texture quality. After frying, the substitution did not have a significant effect on any organoleptic attributes (P>0.05), but still produced the best physical outcomes. Treatment P4 (100% ganyong flour) yielded the highest WHC and tenderness values (P<0.05), and was still well accepted by the panelists. These findings indicate that ganyong flour has great potential as a substitute for wheat flour due to its ability to enhance the physical quality of chicken sempol, while also offering a healthier product and supporting local food diversification.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of feeding dry water hyacinth (CEGK) on the quality of carcass and non-carcass Muscovy male ducks, as well as determining the appropriate level of CEGK inclusion. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four levels of CEGK inclusion: 0% (control), 5%, 10%, and 15%, each with five replications. The variables observed included live weight, slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, weight without feathers, main parts of the carcass (breast, thighs, wings, back), and non-carcass parts (head, neck, feathers, blood, entrails, feet). Ducks are slaughtered at 145 days of age. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that CEGK supplementation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on live weight and weight without feathers, but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on slaughter weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, main parts of the carcass, or non-carcass parts. The highest live weight was achieved at an inclusion level of 15% (1700 g), followed by 10% (1663 g), while the highest weight without feathers was also at 15% (1555 g). Although live weight is highest at 15%, an inclusion rate of 10% is recommended as it shows better feed efficiency and a relatively higher carcass percentage trend than 15%, thereby providing an optimal balance between growth performance and carcass quality and supporting the economical use of local feed sources.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of adding ginger extract (Zingiber officinale) to the salt solution medium on the physical, organoleptic properties and shelf life of salted duck eggs. The experiment was carried out with four treatments, namely without ginger extract (P0), and with the addition of 150 g (P1), 300 g (P2), and 450 g (P3) of ginger extract per liter of salt solution (1 liter of water: 500 g of salt). The results showed that the addition of ginger extract had a significant effect on egg pH, with the best treatment being P1 which reached a pH of 8.76 compared to 8.50 in the control, while weight loss ranged from 2.35% to 4.11% and was not significantly different between treatments. Organoleptically, ginger extract has a significant effect on taste, with the highest value at P1, but has no significant effect on egg white color, egg yolk color, egg white texture, egg yolk texture, aroma, oiliness, or overall acceptability. Based on shelf life tests, salted duck eggs with ginger extract can last up to 3 weeks, while salted duck eggs without ginger extract only last 2 weeks. In conclusion, a dose of 150 g of ginger extract per liter of salt solution is the optimal dose, because it is able to improve physical (egg pH) and organoleptic (taste) quality without causing negative effects on other parameters, as well as extending the shelf life of salted duck eggs from 2 to 3 weeks. These results indicate that the use of ginger extract is a natural innovation that promises to improve the quality and durability of salted egg products.
