Abstract

This study examined the dynamics of the traditional cattle trading in Solok Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia, focusing on the Muaro Paneh livestock market. Livestock markets support rural economies by facilitating animal transactions, disseminating market information, preserving cultural practices, and maintaining social networks. Despite the significance of this market, there was a lack of research on micro-level rural livestock markets in Indonesia. This study aimed to fill the gap by investigating the structure, key actors, and transactional mechanisms of the traditional cattle trade in Solok District. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research exposed the underlying dynamics of rural livestock markets, evaluate their resilience, and provide empirical insights for inclusive and context-sensitive livestock development policies. The findings emphasize the importance of traditional livestock markets in rural transformation and sustainable livestock systems.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of incorporating tannin-rich mangrove fruit (Sonneratia alba) into Indigofera zollingeriana-based rations on in vitro digestibility and rumen fermentation characteristics. Using a completely randomized design with four treatments (0%, 3%, 6%, and 9% S. alba) and four replicates, we evaluated dry matter digestibility (DMD), organic matter digestibility (OMD), crude protein digestibility (CPD), crude fiber digestibility (CFD), crude fat digestibility, nitrogen-free extract (NFE), rumen pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA), and ammonia (NH₃) concentrations. Results revealed that moderate tannin inclusion (6%) improved CPD and nutrient protection without significantly impairing DMD or OMD. However, higher inclusion (9%) significantly reduced CFD, crude fat digestibility, NFE, VFA, and NH₃ concentrations (P<0.05 or P<0.01), indicating suppressed microbial activity. These findings suggest that while S. alba tannins can effectively reduce ruminal protein degradation and modulate fermentation, excessive inclusion negatively impacts overall feed digestibility. The optimal inclusion rate was identified at 6%, balancing protein protection and fermentation efficiency. This study supports the strategic use of plant-based tannins as a feed additive to enhance protein utilization and reduce nitrogen losses in ruminant diets.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of product, price, place, promotion, and services on purchasing decisions for rendang in Payakumbuh, West Sumatra. The study was conducted on 51 Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) consumers. Research was conducted using a survey method, and the obtained data was subjected to a quantitative descriptive analysis using multiple linear regression. Based on the result of the research analysis, the number R2 (R Square) is 0.224 or (22.40%). This showed that the percentage contribution of the influence of the marketing mix of rendang as independent variables (product, price, place, promotion, and services) to the dependent variable (purchasing decision) is 22.40%. At the same time, the remaining 77.60% is influenced or explained by other variables that are not included in this research model. A significant simultaneous effect of five marketing mixes, i.e., product, price, place, promotion, and service, on consumers' purchasing decision of rendang was noticed. Price, place, and service positively affected the partial evaluation; however, product and promotion were not. To sum up, innovation on price, place, and service can be the primary consideration for the MSME to keep competitive in the rendang market.

Abstract

Heat stress is a significant concern in dairy cattle production, even in high-altitude areas typically associated with cooler climates. This study investigated the temporal and spatial variations of the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI), air temperature, and relative humidity at a high-altitude dairy farm during the rainy season in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Environmental data were collected bi-hourly from 08:00 to 16:00 at three different locations: outside the pen, inside a pen equipped with fan ventilation, and inside a pen without fan ventilation. ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests revealed significant differences across both time and location. The highest THI levels were recorded outside the pen during midday (12:00–14:00), with a mean of 80.18 ± 3.76, compared to 76.17 ± 1.96 in the fan-ventilated pen and 74.96 ± 1.88 in the non-ventilated pen. Notably, there were no significant differences in THI between the two indoor environments, indicating that fan ventilation had limited effectiveness. All indoor THI values reflected moderate heat stress. Additionally, Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong negative correlation between temperature and humidity across all locations (r = -0.88 to -0.97; p < 0.05). These findings highlight the limitations of current ventilation systems and emphasize the urgent need for improved microclimate management strategies in high-altitude dairy farming.

Abstract

Oil supplementation has abundance of benefit for animals due to its fatty acid content. Otherwise, oil supplementation is being limited due to its effect on coating feed in digestive system and lead animal to hardly digest others nutrient. Moreover, with proper treatment, animal may gain immense benefit from it. Much previous research was conducted on giving oil supplementation yet there are many things remain to be addressed. This article investigated the developing of oil supplementation and finding a gap to be filled to encourage the potential of oil supplementation in Indonesia. There are many items shown on this article such as types of oil, variables, level of oil supplementation and protection used. The result showed that in vivo method used more frequently than in vitro method and Lemuru fish oil was used most rather than another type of oil with the level was on 2 and 3%. Types of animals mostly used is sheep with parameters examined was digestibility. Much previous research also showed that many oil supplementation used protection treatment such as saponification. Furthermore, this article showed that there is mostly parameter used and types of animals and variety of oil supplementation in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the dose of humic acid in drinking water to optimize the use of fermented palm kernel cake (FPKC) in broiler feed. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 5 treatments (T1: 0% FPKC and 0% humic acid, T2: 25% FPKC + 100 ppm humic acid, T3: 25% FPKC + 200 ppm humic acid, T4: 30% FPKC + 100 ppm humic acid and T5: 30% FPKC + 200 ppm humic acid) and 4 replications. The variables observed were feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion, live weight, carcass percentage and abdominal fat percentage. The data obtained were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANOVA), if there was an effect between treatments it was continued with Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT). The results showed that the effect of humic acid in drinking water had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the T1, T2 and T3 treatments, but had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on the T4 and T5 treatments. Giving humic acid in drinking water has not been able to optimize the use of FPKC up to 30%, but giving 100 ppm humic acid can optimize the use of FPKC as much as 25% in feed.

Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between body weight and linear body measurements to develop a model Savannah goat farmers will use to improve the body weight. The study was conducted at Bosveld Game Breeders using 60 goats of both sexes (7 bucks and 53 does). A total of six variables, including body weight (BW), heart girth (HG), rump height (RH), sternum height (SH), body length (BL), and withers height (WH), were measured. Pearson's correlation and Stepwise regression analysis were performed for data analysis. Correlation findings revealed that BW had a significantly positive correlation (p < 0.01) with HG (r = 0.88), WH (r = 0.80), RH (r = 0.75), BL (r = 0.72), and SH (r = 0.57) in does. While in bucks, BW had a positively high correlation (p < 0.01) with RH (r = 0.99), BL (r = 0.98), SH (r = 0.97), HG (r = 0.97), and WH (r = 0.83). Correlation outcome suggests that HG, WH, RH, BL, and SH might be used to improve the BW of Savanna goats. According to the regression analysis, both bucks and does have a significant contribution (p < 0.05) of BL to BW. Regression results suggest that BL might be used as a single linear body measurement to estimate BW without a weighing scale. The current study might be used to predict the live body weight of animals to support marketing, breeding, feeding, and health services in rural areas.

Abstract

Concentrate can improve livestock productivity due to its high protein content. Meanwhile, a high proportion of concentrate consumption in livestock can decrease the pH of the rumen and lead to a decrease in rumen performance. Leguminous plants that have high protein and are abundantly available are a potential source of protein and concentrate substitutes in livestock diets. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Leucaena leucocephala (LL) and Indigofera zollingeriana (IZ) as concentrate substitutes in RDP: RUP-concentrate-based diet on degradation of dry matter degradability (DMD) and organic matter (OMD), digestible neutral detergent fiber (dNDF), in vitro true digestibility (IVTD), pH value, NH3 concentration, and total gas production. This study used a Randomized Block Design, consisting of seven treatments with four replications. The treatments were: T1 = control consist of 40% Pennisetum clandestinum (PC) and 60% concentrate (C) (RDP: RUP of concentrate = 60%:40% of crude protein), T2 = 40% PC + 45% C + 15% LL, T3 = 40% PC + 45% C + 15% IZ, T4 = 40% PC + 30% C + 30% LL, T5 = 40% PC + 30% C + 30% IZ, T6 = 40% PC + 30% C + 15% LL + 15% IZ, T7 = 40% PC + 30% LL + 30% IZ. This study reported that leguminous as concentrate substitutes in RDP: RUP-concentrate-based diet significantly affected nutrient digestibility and total gas production, while pH value and NH3 concentration did not differ among experimental diets. The supplementation of LL 15-30% and IZ 15-30% in RDP: RUP-based diet increases DMD, OMD, IVTD, and total gas production. The combination of LL and IZ 15-30% in RDP: RUP-based diets tend to depress OMD, while other parameters did not differ among experimental diets. The highest DMD, OMD, IVTD, and total gas production were observed in the experimental diet with 30% of IZ substitutes in the RDP: RUP-concentrate-based diet. In conclusion, 30% Indigofera zollingeriana as a concentrate substitute in RDP: RUP-concentrate-based diet can increase nutrient digestibility and optimize rumen fermentation characteristics.

Abstract

This study aims to ascertain the sensory characteristics of yogurt when honey is added at varying concentrations. The sensory characteristics observed include colour, aroma, taste and texture. In this study, the treatment is the addition of honey (P1) at 0%, (P2) at 2.5%, (P3) at 5%, (P4) at 7.5% and (P5) at 10% to the manufacture of yogurt. The results demonstrated that adding honey had a statistically significant impact (P < 0.05) on the sensory quality of yogurt. The hedonic test of yogurt indicated that the addition of honey was a favorable attribute by the panelists, who considered it an effective alternative to sugar as a sweetener. The hedonic test values obtained were as follows: colour (3.2-3.77); aroma (3.13-4.18); taste (2.08-4.53); texture (3.28-3.88). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the optimal treatment was achieved in the yogurt with the addition of 10% honey.

Abstract

Ensuring year-round availability of high-quality forage is critical for improving the productivity of ruminant livestock, particularly under tropical climatic conditions where seasonal fluctuations frequently disrupt feed supply. This study evaluated the fermentative quality of silage produced from varying ratios of Tithonia diversifolia and Panicum maximum using an in vitro rumen fermentation system. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was applied with five treatment groups (T0 = 0% Tithonia, T1 = 25%, T2 = 50%, T3 = 75%, and T4 = 100%) and three replicates each. After a 21-day ensiling period, samples were assessed for pH, total gas production, ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N), and volatile fatty acids (VFA) using fresh rumen fluid from slaughtered cattle as the inoculum. Results revealed that increasing the proportion of T. diversifolia enhanced fermentative activity, as indicated by higher total gas and VFA production, and lower pH values. Treatment T3 (75% Tithonia) showed the most favorable fermentative profile, with significantly higher gas and VFA yields and NH₃-N concentrations within the optimal range for microbial protein synthesis. Conversely, T4 (100% Tithonia) exhibited signs of fermentative inhibition, likely due to anti-nutritional factors such as tannins and saponins. In contrast, T0 (100% Panicum) demonstrated limited fermentability due to its high fiber and low soluble carbohydrate content. These findings suggest that a 75:25 ratio of Tithonia diversifolia to Panicum maximum optimizes rumen fermentation and may serve as a promising strategy for improving silage quality in tropical forage systems.
