Abstract

This study developed slow-release urea (SRU) additives using autoclaved oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) and urea via wet granulation to improve nitrogen utilization in ruminants. OPEFB was autoclaved at 121°C and 1 atm pressure to create a stable matrix, which was then combined with urea in different proportions to form SRU. In the first phase, the physical and morphological properties of autoclaved and non-autoclaved OPEFB were analysed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF) were measured, with hemicellulose calculated as the difference between NDF and ADF. In the second phase, SRU formulations included varying percentages of urea and autoclaved OPEFB: SRU 100 (100% urea), SRU 98 (2% OPEFB), SRU 96 (4% OPEFB), SRU 94 (6% OPEFB), SRU 92 (8% OPEFB), and SRU 90 (10% OPEFB). SEM and FTIR descriptively showed surface changes in OPEFB after autoclaving, including increased porosity. Autoclaving also descriptively reduced NDF, ADF, lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose contents. In vitro rumen incubation revealed that the addition of autoclaved OPEFB in SRU reduced urea release and pH in the rumen at various time intervals: 3, 6, 9, and 24 hours. SRU with autoclaved OPEFB optimizes urea use and controls nitrogen release.

Abstract

Ensuring food safety in livestock requires specific feeding technology in agriculture by using feed additives in the form of antibiotics, prebiotics, probiotics, acidifiers, hormones and enzymes. Bioactive peptides improve the health status of humans and animals. Protein hydrolysis produce peptides that are safe, quickly metabolizable, less risky for livestock products to have contaminant residue. Bioactive peptides are still bound to the original protein, so they need to be released through an enzymatic process. This research explored the potential of chicken slaughterhouse waste to produce biopeptides by hydrolyzing proteins using various proteolytic enzymes. The slaughterhouse waste included chicken feet, intestines, filleting waste and blood plasma. The proteolytic enzymes used were papain, bromelain, protease by Rhizopus oligosphorus, probiotic protease. The observed variables were dissolved protein content with and without precipitation, protein hydrolyzate content, and the degree of enzyme hydrolysis. The research was conducted using exploratory methods. The results showed that the dissolved protein content in the chicken slaughterhouse waste protein concentrate was 1,585 mg/ml (feet), 2,361 mg/ml (intestines), 1,787 (filleting waste) and 2,372 mg/ml (blood plasma). Blood plasma protein concentrate showed the highest yield among other chicken slaughterhouse waste protein concentrates, namely 0.14 mg/ml (hydrolysis of papain), 0.18 mg/ml (hydrolysis of bromelain), 0.56 mg/ml (hydrolysis of R.oligosphorus protease) 0.68 mg/ml (hydrolysis of probiotic proteases). The highest degree of hydrolysis was shown in blood plasma hydrolyzates using probiotic protease enzymes, namely 28.72%. The highest antioxidant activity was 92.92% as observed in chicken feet protein hydrolyzate which was hydrolyzed using papain. Therefore, chicken feet, intestines and fillet waste can produce protein concentrates through precipitation using ammonium sulfate, and plasma using acetone. The highest protein concentration was in blood plasma protein which also produced the highest hydrolysis from hydrolyzing blood plasma proteins with hydrolyzed probiotic protease. The highest antioxidant activity was observed in chicken feet protein hydrolyzate which was hydrolyzed using papain enzyme and incubated for 6h.

Abstract

Fertilization step is the main strategy in producing good plants. Dairy cow dung as a renewable natural resource is abundant and can be a source of additional income for farmers if it becomes superior compost. Through the enrichment of various types and doses of inorganic fertilizers, it is expected to have economic value, especially for feed crops. The aim of the study was to obtain a superior compost formula for dairy cow dung enriched with various types and doses of inorganic fertilizers on the production and nutritional value of pennisetum grass. Using a nested design with the main treatment of 3 types of pennisetum grass (King, Gajah and Odot), the treatment children were enrichment of 3 inorganic fertilizers (Urea, NPK and ZA) with 3 doses (equivalent to 100, 200 and 300 kg urea per hectare per defoliation) with 3 repetitions. The study was conducted on plots measuring 1 x 1 square meter at the third defoliation growth. Parameters observed were fresh forage production and nutritional quality (crude protein, crude fiber and crude fat content). The data obtained were analyzed based on Nested Design, BNJ and regression. The results showed that dairy cow dung can be made into superior compost, enriched with 300 kg of NPK and ZA fertilizers equivalent to urea fertilizer and has provided fresh forage production and good nutritional quality on all Pennisetum grasses.

Abstract

Diiti cattle or Gorontalo local cattle were cattle that have the same exterior characteristics like Bali and PO cattle. To provide information regarding the unknown state of Diiti cattle, allele diversity was evaluated using ILSTS017, HEL13 and BM1818 microsatellite loci. A total of 117 Diti cattle from Gorontalo, Bonebolango and North Gorontalo were used in this study. Allele diversity analysis was generated using Cervus 3.0.7 version. All microsatellite loci were found to be highly polymorphic in the population. A total of 26 alleles were observed, which ranged from 6 in HEL13 and to 11 in ILSTS017. The mean of total alleles was found 6.667. The expected heterozygosity and observed heterozygosity values were 0.686, 0.610, 0.818 and 0.512, 0.351, 0.721 in ILSTS017, HEL13 and BM1818, respectively. Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values were 0.540 for HEL13, 0.645 for ILSTS017 and 0.791 for BM1818. The result of this study would be used as basic information for development of unknown state of Diiti cattle as Gorontalo valuable genetic resources.

Abstract

The growing demand for high-protein low-fat meat has encouraged the development of potential rabbit farming. One of the obstacles in the rabbit farming is a disease. The studies of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in rabbits are limited, especially in Indonesia. The study aimed to identify and determine the prevalence of helmith infestation, and investigate the correlation between age, sex, and hygiene with the occurrence of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in small-scale rabbit farms. The survey was conducted on 476 rabbits in Banyumas District using a purposive sampling to collect fecal samples and questionnaire data. Both male and female rabbits were devided into four age groups: wean 1 (birth-1 month), wean 2 (>1-6 months), young (>6-18 months), and adult (>19 months). The feces were examined using the floating and the Whitlock methods and gastrointestinal helminthiasis were identified by observing the morphology of eggs and gastrointestinal helmiths. Data were subject to descriptive analysis and logistic regression using JASP software 0.16.3 version. The results demonstrated that 50 rabbits (10.50%) were infested with nematode and cestode worms. Nematode eggs found in rabbit feces in this study were strongyle (33.33%), Trichostrongylus (27.78%), Cittotaenia (14.81%), Passalurus (12.96%), Trichuris (7.41%), Hymenolepis (1.85%), Toxocara (1.85%) and Strongyloides (1.85%). The most prevalent egg worm in rabbits was Strongyle (33.33%) and lowest were Hymenolepis, Toxocara and Strongyloides (1.85% each). This study revealed that age and sex had no effect on the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in rabbits (p>0.05). The frequency and technique of cage cleaning had a highly significant (p<0.01) effect on the occurence of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in rabbits, however there was no significant link with the separation of feces and urine in the cage (p>0.05).It can be inferred that the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminthiasis in rabbits is relatively low, and the management system including the hygiene of the cage are the most important factors in preventing its emergence.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of the interaction between the type of rice straw processing and the concentration of teak leaf flour supplementation on energy intake and performance of Madura cattle. A total of 18 Madura cattle with an average weight of 246.5 ± 10.29 kg were placed in individual pens and randomly assigned to either ammoniated or non-ammoniated rice straw processing and concentrate with different supplementations of teak leaf flour (TLF): 0% (T1), 0.21% (T2), and 0.42% (T3) of dry matter. This study used a completely randomized design with a 2 x 3 factorial and Tukey's range test or orthogonal polynomials. The observed variables were dry matter intake (DMI), energy intake (EI), digested energy (DE), retained energy (RE), RE:EI efficiency, RE:DE efficiency, average daily gain (ADG), feed conversion (FC), and slaughter weight. The results showed no interaction between the type of rice straw and the concentration of TLF on all variables (p > 0.05). The type of rice straw processing did not significantly affect all variables (p > 0.05). TLF supplementation had a quadratic effect on EI, DMI, and slaughter weight. Madura cattle fattening fed with either ammoniated or non-ammoniated rice straw combined with concentrate supplemented with TLF resulted in an increase in feed intake and final body weight.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) leaves as a natural feed protein protector on production performance and meat quality in goats. A total of 16 male goats (±15 kg body weight) were used in a completely randomized design with four dietary treatments: R1 (15% tofu dregs + 15% concentrate + 70% forage), R2 (15% tofu dregs + 1% water hyacinth leaves + 14% concentrate + 70% forage), R3 (15% tofu dregs + 2% water hyacinth leaves + 13% concentrate + 70% forage), and R4 (15% tofu dregs + 3% water hyacinth leaves + 12% concentrate + 70% forage). The goats were reared for 10 weeks to measure feed intake and average daily gain (ADG), followed by slaughter to evaluate carcass characteristics and meat chemical composition. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and treatment differences were assessed using Duncan's multiple range test. Results showed that inclusion of water hyacinth leaves significantly increased feed intake, ADG, hot and cold carcass weight, carcass percentage, and meat protein content (P<0.05). Supplementing goat diets with 1–3% (dry matter basis) water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) leaves as a natural protein protection strategy significantly improves feed intake, average daily gain, carcass traits, and meat protein content. These findings demonstrate the potential of water hyacinth leaves as a functional feed additive to enhance the productivity and meat quality of goats.

Abstract

Goat farming is an essential livelihood strategy for rural communities, providing substantial economic and social advantages. However, there remains a vague understanding of the underlying motivations driving smallholder goat farmers' engagement, particularly in contexts with diverse socio-demographics and resource limitations. This study aimed to determine the most influential factors in goat-farming decisions by conducting a cross-sectional survey of 50 smallholder goat farmers. Data collection encompassed socio-demographic variables, as well as access to capital, infrastructure, market conditions, and policy support. Results revealed that capital and infrastructure significantly outweighed age, education, and farming experience in shaping farmers’ level of involvement. Local markets received favorable ratings, but inconsistent government support highlighted significant policy gaps. Larger households benefited from greater labor availability, yet did not consistently adopt best practices. These findings highlight the primacy of resource-based and socio-familial factors in shaping smallholder motivation and illustrate the need for targeted interventions. Enhanced collaboration among government agencies, cooperatives, and community groups may promote more resilient and profitable goat-farming systems.

Abstract

Coconut pulp has potential as animal feed but is limited in poultry diets due to its high fiber content and low protein levels. Fermentation using indigenous microorganisms offers a practical approach to improving its nutritional value. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional quality of coconut meal using indigenous microorganisms (IMOs). The initial phase of the study involved producing IMOs, followed by measuring pH, total colony, and cellulase and mannanase enzyme activities. IMOs were applied to ferment coconut meal using a completely randomized design with four treatments (0, 7, 14, and 21 days) and four replications. Observed parameters included cellulase and mannanase enzyme activities, pH, crude fiber, crude protein, crude fat, and nitrogen-free extract. The characteristics of IMOs were analyzed descriptively, while enzyme activities and the nutritional content of coconut meal were analyzed using ANOVA and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The results showed that IMOs had a pH of 3.3, were dominated by lactic acid bacteria with a total colony of 5.4 × 10¹² CFU/mL, had cellulase activity of 2.1 U/mL, and had mannanase activity of 7.73 U/mL. Cellulase activity at 7, 14, and 21 days was significantly higher (P<0.01), while mannanase activity was highest at 21 days (P<0.01), with the lowest pH observed at 14 and 21 days. The lowest crude fiber and crude fat content, as well as the highest crude protein content (P<0.01), were observed at 14 days of fermentation. Fourteen days of fermentation were identified as the optimal duration for enhancing the nutritional quality of coconut pulp.

Abstract

The research conducted at the Singosari Artificial Insemination Center aims to analyze internal and external environmental factors affecting frozen semen marketing and formulate effective marketing strategies. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. Internal factors were evaluated using the Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) matrix, external factors were assessed through the External Factor Evaluation (EFE) matrix, and the Internal-External (IE) matrix was utilized to determine the company's position, providing a more comprehensive overview of the analysis. Results show that strengths (score: 1.77) and opportunities (score: 1.69) outweigh weaknesses (score: 1.52) and threats (score: 1.4). BBIB Singosari's key strengths include ISO- and SNI-certified frozen semen, genetic diversity, and competitive pricing. Meanwhile, threats such as reproductive diseases and market competition must be addressed. The marketing strategy, based on the SWOT matrix, emphasizes consistent product quality improvement, utilization of market intelligence, and fostering consumer relationships. A significant component of this strategy is social marketing, which raises awareness about artificial insemination and the benefits of high-quality frozen semen. Social marketing involves targeted education through social media, direct farmer outreach, and community campaigns, ensuring higher adoption rates of artificial insemination technology. These strategies strengthen BBIB Singosari's market position while contributing to sustainable livestock population growth in Indonesia. The investigation emphasizes the necessity of innovative marketing approaches to overcome internal and external challenges and enhance BBIB's role as a leader in livestock development.
