Animal Production
Animal Production: Indonesian Journal of Animal Production is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Faculty of Animal Science, Jenderal Soedirman University in association with the Animal Scientist Society of Indonesia (ISPI), the Indonesian Association of Nutrition and Feed Science (AINI), and the Indonesian Veterinary Medical Association (PDHI). The journal was established in 1999 and gained its first accreditation No. 52/Dikti/Kep/2002 by the Directorate General of Higher Education (DIKTI), Department of National Education of the Republic of Indonesia subsequently followed by accreditation No. 81/DIKTI/Kep/2011. The latest accreditation was in 2017 by the Directorate General or Research and Development, Ministry of Research and Technology and Higher Education (Kemristekdikti) No. 32a/E/KPT/2017. Animal Production: Indonesian Journal of Animal Production is listed in SINTA index and gained Score 2 No. 30/E/KPT/2018. Animal Production: Indonesian Journal of Animal Production publishes three times a year, starting in 2005 and available online since May 4, 2011. The journal coverage focused on small-scale livestock farming and technologies, including the recent scientific development in animal production, including all aspects of nutrition, breeding, reproduction, post-harvest processing, and socio-economics. All articles are available online. The full text is available in pdf format and can be downloaded for free. Animal Production: Indonesian Journal of Animal Production has been indexed by Crossref, SINTA, Google Scholar, BASE, OAJI, and Dimensions. Starting Vol. 22 No. 1 (2020), the papers have been and will be published on our new website (http://jap.fapet.unsoed.ac.id), as the continuation of our previous but still active website (http://animalproduction.net).

Abstract

Grandparent Stock (GPS) serves as the genetic cornerstone of broiler production, influencing performance at both Parent Stock and commercial levels. This study evaluated and compared the productive and reproductive traits of three major GPS broiler strains—Ross, Cobb, and Hubbard—under commercial tropical conditions in Indonesia. Data from 104,415 birds (83,102 females; 21,313 males) were collected from two national poultry companies between 2019 and 2022. Parameters included mortality, feed intake, body weight, uniformity, egg production, egg weight, and hatchability. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's test were applied. Cobb showed the lowest mortality during the grower phase (0.30%) and the highest body weight uniformity (80.71%). Ross had the lowest mortality in the laying phase (0.479%) and the highest egg production (49.13%). Hubbard achieved the highest final body weight (4,727 g) and egg weight (64.85 g) but recorded the highest mortality during laying (0.870%). No significant differences were found in cumulative feed intake (132,750–134,786 g/bird) or hatchability (>94.7%) across strains. These results suggest Cobb is best for uniformity and survivability, Ross for egg productivity, and Hubbard for maximizing output, although requiring more intensive management. Strain selection should align with production priorities and local farm conditions, considering factors such as climate adaptability, resource availability, and long-term sustainability. The findings provide valuable insights for optimizing broiler breeding programs in tropical regions, enhancing genetic potential, and improving overall production efficiency.

Abstract

Education is the most powerful weapon and is the key to success. The livestock farmers' children's education is very important and related to the role of education in increasing knowledge, skill, and attitude, which improves the welfare of the farmer's family. Therefore, improving the farmers' commitment to children's education and the factors affected by it is necessary. Based on the previous statement, this study aimed to reveal the factors influencing farmers' commitment to children's education. This study was conducted in the Baturraden, Sumbang, Kembaran, and Sokaraja Subdistricts, Banyumas Regency, from January to February 2023, using a cross-sectional survey approach. A total of 525 livestock farmers were recorded as respondents. The data obtained were Structural Equational Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) analyzed utilizing the SmartPLS 4 software. The results of this study showed that the increase in farmers' financial condition, children's desires, interests, and motivation could increase farmers' commitment to children's education. The farmers’ knowledge of education services variables did not affect the farmers’ commitment. Farmers’ financial conditions could indirectly affect farmers’ commitment through interests and motivation. A similar condition also occurred in farmers' children’s desire and knowledge of education services. It could be concluded from this study that improving farmers' financial condition followed by intense government educational services information dissemination could improve farmers' commitment to children's education, which would enhance children's academic level in rural areas of Indonesia.

Abstract

Herbal plants in animal feed offers a more natural and safer alternative than synthetic antibiotics, which can lead to bacterial resistance and leave residues in poultry products. This meta-analysis study evaluated the potential of Moringa (Moringa oleifera) leaves extract as a feed additive for broiler chickens, comparing two administration methods, inclusion in feed or dilution in drinking water. Data were obtained from 29 relevant articles sourced from Google Scholar and Scopus, resulting in the analysis of 123 studies using SAS software. The results showed that administering Moringa leaves in feed significantly increased final body weight and improved feed conversion ratio (FCR), with an average FCR value of 1.92. No significant effects (P>0.05) on were identified in Moringa-boost drinking water. The average final weight of chickens given Moringa in feed compared to in drinking water was 2.09 kg vs. 2.04 kg. The carcass yield from Moringa extract in feed compared to drinking water was 71.11% vs. 78.35%. Conclusively, solid Moringa leaf extract at a dose of 0.71–1.04% is a more effective feed additive because higher dosages induce anti-nutritional factors like tannins and saponins that reduce performance. This finding offers a valuable reference for farmers to utilize local resources in cost-effective and eco-friendly way to enhance broiler chicken production efficiency.
