Abstract

Functional foods contain biologically active components and compounds that have physiological effects on the human body, such as promoting health and decreasing the risk of sickness. The swiftlet, which belongs to the Collocalini family, is an insect-eating bird that migrates across the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia to the Pacific Ocean. Swiftlet bird's nests (SBN) contain protein, fats, carbohydrates, iron, calcium, phosphorus, inorganic salts, fiber, and water. The objective of this study is to determine the nutritional content of swiftlet bird nests in different regions of West Sumatra. Samples of swiftlet bird's nests (SBN) were collected from Padang City (PD), Bukittinggi City (BK), and Pesisir Selatan Regency (PS). Nutritional content was analyzed using proximate methods, including moisture, protein, and fat, and the nitrite concentration was measured using UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The study found that SBN in West Sumatra contains 47.65–50.55% protein, 1.48–2.47% fat, 21.77–22.77% water, and 24.75–32.72 ppm nitrite. The results indicate that the nutritional content varies among the samples, and the protein content found in SBN is higher, making it suitable for use as a functional food. Additionally, SBN has many health benefits and biological activities, such as mitogenic response and cell growth, enhanced immunity, and improved bone strength.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the balanced effect of feed supplements on the nutritional and mineral content of rice fermented with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. The research used a completely randomized design with a 3 x 3 x 3 factorial pattern with three replications for each treatment combination. The treatment factors consist of factor I, three levels of Zn (25, 50, 75 ppm); factor II, three levels of urea (1.0, 1.5, 2.0%); and factor III, three levels of sulfur (0.2, 0.4, 0.8%). The research results showed that treatment A (Zn), factor B (Urea) had a very significant effect (P<0.01) and factor C (sulfur) had a non-significant effect (P>0.05). Treatment of factors A (Zn) and B (urea) had a significantly different effect (P<0.05) on calcium content. Factor C (sulfur) had no significant effect (P>0.05), and there was no interaction between treatment factors. Treatment of factor A (Zink), factor B (urea), and factor C (sulfur) had no significant effect (P>0.05). There is an interaction between the AC factor (Zn and sulfur), while there is no interaction between the AB factor (Zn and urea), the BC factor (urea and sulfur), and the ABC factor (Zn, urea and sulfur). It can be concluded that the administration of 25 ppm Zn, 2% urea, and 0.2% sulfur gave the best results on the crude protein content (22.62%), calcium (0.33%), and phosphorus (1.22%) of fermented rice bran with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

Abstract

This research aimed to evaluate the productivity and quality of pasture forage at BPTUHPT Padang Mengatas by analyzing the botanical composition, forage biomass production, and carrying capacity in different topographies. The research data were analyzed statistically using statistical analysis of variance using a completely randomized design with three treatments and five replications treated with three different topographies: flat, wavy, and hilly. The data obtained was processed statistically using analysis of variance. The treatment had a natural effect, so it was continued using the DMRT follow-up test. The analysis of the botanical composition of BPTUHPT Padang Mengatas pastures shows that they have many varieties of forage growing. The gramineae varieties that grow in the pastures of BPTUHPT Padang Mengatas are Brachiaria decumbens, Panicum maximum, and Cynodon plectostachyus, as well as many other types of grass, but in very low percentages. The results of statistical analysis show that differences in topography do not have a significant influence (P>0.05) on biomass production or carrying capacity in BPTUHPT Padang Mengatas pastures. From the research results, it can be concluded that there is a diversity of botanical composition in the grazing land of BPTUHPT Padang Mengatas, where Brachiaria decumbens dominates. At the same time, the average biomass production is 208 tons/ha/year.

Abstract

Subclinical mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the mammary gland without visible symptoms in dairy livestock. The subclinical mastitis should be detected periodically in every farm. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in dairy goats on smallholder farms, followed by calculating the goat milk's total plate count (TPC) and pH value. Risk factors thought to cause subclinical mastitis on that farm are traditional livestock rearing techniques and land area that exceeds livestock capacity. The method used was a survey at a smallholder farm and laboratory analysis for the milk quality as a case study of a goat farm in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The farm kept 118 goats from different breeds: Ettawa breeders, Sapera, Anglo Nubian, Anglo Sapera, and Anglo Saperaboer. Eighteen dairy goats were in the lactation period in June-July 2023. The results of subclinical mastitis examination of dairy goats were categorized as negative (-), positive 1 (+), positive 2 (++), and positive 3 (+++). The results showed that the prevalence of subclinical mastitis on that farm was 66.7%. Furthermore, milk TPC values (CFU/ml) were 3.1x105 (-), 5.6x106 (+), 9.9x106 (++), and 1.5x107 (+++). The pH values of the milk ranged from about 6.9 to 7.1. In conclusion, there was a high prevalence of subclinical mastitis on the farm. As such, the TPC and pH values were above the Indonesian National Standard for fresh milk quality.

Abstract

When purchasing, consumers will prioritize the attributes attached to the product. Research needs to be done to increase consumer buying interest through consumer preference. Especially if it is done in an area with potential but little interest in Kampong chicken meat, this study aims to look at the preferences of Kampong chicken consumers in Bukittinggi City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The research implementation time was in August 2023. This study's population is Kampong chicken consumers in several wholesale markets in Bukittinggi. For the sample size, 200 respondents had been taken. The variables in this study are a set of attributes of Kampong chicken: price, color, texture, age, gender, chicken meat parts, and chicken skin. The results showed that the highest importance value was at the age attribute of the chicken, which was 19.069, while the lowest value was the price. Based on calculations, it was found that consumers prefer affordable prices to price stabilization. The preferred meat color was meat with a pink color, chewy skin texture, medium size, 4-5 months old, male sex; the most preferred part was the breast, and the chicken was consumed without the skin.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the impact of lerak fruit and probiotic supplementation on varying levels of ammoniated palm fronds in sheep rations, as well as to determine the optimal inclusion rate of ammoniated palm fronds in the presence of lerak fruit and probiotics. Employing an experimental approach, a Latin Square Design was utilized, with four sheep as rows, four periods as columns, and four rations as treatments. Treatments included: A) 50% field grass + concentrate, B) 20% field grass + 30% ammoniated palm fronds + 50% concentrate + lerak fruit + probiotics, C) 10% field grass + 40% ammoniated palm fronds + 50% concentrate + lerak fruit + probiotics, and D) 0% field grass + 50% ammoniated palm fronds + 50% concentrate + lerak fruit + probiotics. Results indicated significant differences (P<0.05) between dry and organic matter intake treatments and body weight gain. However, no significant differences (P>0.05) were observed in the digestibility of dry and organic matter. These findings suggest that supplementation with up to 40% ammoniated palm fronds in sheep rations, probiotics, and lerak fruit yielded comparable digestibility and livestock performance as the control. This study provides valuable insights into optimizing sheep rations with alternative feed ingredients, contributing to enhanced animal nutrition practices.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the added palm kernel cake (PKC) level in the Sclerotium rolfsii inoculum. This research used an experimental method with a completely randomized design, four treatments, and five replications. The treatments were different substrate compositions, consisting of 100% bran (control), 90% bran + 10% PKC (P1), 85% bran + 15% PKC (P2), and 80% bran + 20% PKC (P3). The variables observed were cellulase and mannanase enzyme activities. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using a completely random design analysis of variance and continued with Duncan's multiple range tests if the treatment influenced the observed variables. The results showed that adding PKC as a substrate in making Sclerotium rolfsii inoculum had a significant effect (P<0.01) on the activity of cellulase and mannanase enzymes. The best cellulase and mannanase enzyme activities were found in the 80% fine bran substrate composition + 20% PKC (P3), namely 16.02 U/mL and 7.81 U/mL.
