Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the administration period of encapsulated turmeric extract (Curcuma domestica Val.) in replacing the role of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in the diet on the performance of broiler chickens. The study used 100 unsexed MB 202 Platinum strain broiler chickens. The housing used was a box-type cage measuring 70 × 60 × 70 cm per unit, with a total of 20 units. An experimental method was applied using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were as follows: A = control diet, B = control diet + zinc bacitracin, C = control diet + 0.75% encapsulated turmeric extract administered daily, D = control diet + 0.75% encapsulated turmeric extract administered every two days, and E = control diet + 0.75% encapsulated turmeric extract administered every three days. The diet was formulated to be iso-protein (22%) and iso-caloric (3000 kcal/kg). Parameters measured included feed intake, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio of broiler chickens. The analysis of variance showed that the use of encapsulated turmeric extract had a significant effect (P<0.05) on body weight gain and feed conversion ratio but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on feed intake. It can be concluded from this study that the performance of broiler chickens fed a diet containing 0.75% encapsulated turmeric extract administered every three days was able to replace AGPs in broiler production.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different extraction methods on the quality of alginate derived from Turbinaria murayana seaweed as a poultry feed additive. An experimental approach was employed using a completely randomised design (CRD) consisting of three treatments and six replications. The treatments involved three different extraction methods: acid, alkaline, and calcium pathways. The data were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and significant differences among treatments were further examined using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The results indicated that the extraction method had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on alginate dry matter content and purity, while it had no significant effect (P>0.05) on alginate pH. Among the tested methods, the acid extraction pathway produced the highest quality alginate, meeting the quality standards set by the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC, 2004), with a dry matter content of 86.57%, a pH value of 9.17, and alginate purity of 36.28%.

Abstract

This study aims to reduce the salt content in Turbinaria murayana seaweed before its incorporation into poultry feed by soaking it in fresh water at a 1:50 w/v ratio. The experimental design follows a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications. The treatments involved soaking durations of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days in freshwater. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and treatment differences were assessed using Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results indicated that different soaking durations in freshwater effectively reduced the salt content and increased the dry matter and organic matter percentages of Turbinaria murayana seaweed. A soaking duration of 2 days is particularly effective, resulting in a salt content of 0.61%, a salt reduction percentage of 95.79%, a moisture content of 12.86%, a dry matter content of 87.14%, and an organic matter content of 71.13%.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how long fermented sugarcane tops (Saccharum officinarum L.) and tithonia (Tithonia diversifolia) wafers can be stored. This study used a completely randomized design with four treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of T1 (15 days storage duration), T2 (30 days storage duration), T3 (45 days storage duration), and T4 (60 days storage duration). The variables measured were color, aroma, texture, density, water absorption, and total fungal colonies. The data obtained from the study were analyzed using the variance analysis method, and the differences in the means of each treatment were further tested using the Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results of the analysis showed that shelf life had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on color, aroma, texture, water absorption, and total fungal colonies but gave no significant effect (P>0.05) on wafer density. The average results of color (3.3 - 3.7), aroma (3.2 - 3.6), texture (3.1 - 3.6), density (0.60 - 0.71 g/cm3), water absorption (72.8 - 85.3%) and total fungal colonies (1.10 x 102 CFU/ml to 3.03 x 102 CFU/ml). The results of this study indicate that 60 days of storage on sugarcane tops and tithonia wafers can still maintain the physical quality of wafers in terms of color, aroma, texture, water absorption, and total fungal colonies.

Abstract

Teat dipping is the activity of dipping the nipples of dairy cattle into an antiseptic solution that serves to coat and protect the nipples of livestock from harmful bacterial contamination so as not to cause disease in dairy cattle. This study aimed to obtain preliminary information about the color and screening of alkaloid and saponin content in the eco-enzyme solution, which will later be used as one of the natural antiseptic candidates for teat dipping solution in dairy cattle. This research uses descriptive analysis with the parameters observed, namely color and screening of alkaloid and saponin content in eco-enzyme solutions that have been diluted previously with the following percentages: A: 30% eco-enzyme solution + 70% aquades, B: 60% eco-enzyme solution + 30% aquades, and C: 100% eco-enzyme solution. From the results, it was found that the color of eco-enzyme solution A (transparent yellow), B (transparent yellow), and C (intense yellow and translucent color) while the qualitative test obtained A: positive, B: positive, C: positive (alkaloid content); A: negative, B: positive, and C: positive (saponin content). The results of color tests and screening of alkaloid and saponin content showed that good results were obtained in 100% eco-enzyme solution (C), which can be used as a candidate for natural teat dipping solution in dairy cows.

Abstract

Functional food is growing along with the increasing public awareness of body health. One of them is a probiotic functional food. Probiotics according to WHO/FHO (2001) are microorganisms added to products that will benefit the health of the body if consumed sufficiently, namely 106-108 CFU/ml. Probiotics have benefits in the digestive tract, on the other hand, probiotics need nutrients for their development, namely prebiotics which are expected to change the intestinal microflora and maintain balance in the gut. Probiotics have many benefits for the health of the body, one of which is to improve the immune system. Probiotics will interact with intestinal epithelial cells and be recognized by dendrites then produce IL-12 (Interleukin-12) and IFNγ (Inferon γ) by IDC (Interstitial Dendritic Cell) which can modulate the immune response system. The secretion of IFNγ (Inferon γ) by IDC proinflammatory cytokines has a dual function where IFNγ (Inferon γ) and IL-12 (Interleukin-12) circulate in the bloodstream to reach the epithelium and help alveolar macrophages and NK (Natural Killer) cells kill VR. Then pro-inflammatory cytokines IFNγ (Inferon γ) and IL-12 (Interleukin-12) secreted in the gut ecosystem after colonizing some probiotic strains help the immune system for specific Th1/Th17 (T helper cell) immune response. in addition, dendrite 4 cells will secrete IL-17 (Interleukin-17) which enhances the innate immune response. Probiotics can help B lymphocytes differentiate into plasma cells that can secrete specific immunoglobulin A. Some bacteria that can improve the immune system are Lactobacillus casei L431, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium longum Subsp Infantis R0033, Pediococcus acidilactici DS1, Lactobacillus plantarum HD02 and many more. In the future, probiotics can be developed as immunotherapy and other diseases such as cancer to improve the quality of human life.

Abstract

Corn straws and cobs are wastes from corn farming that are not utilized. This corn waste has potential as an alternative use for cattle but has low nutritional quality. Therefore, this corn waste is fermented to improve its nutritional quality. This study aimed to analyze the effect of straw and corncob fermentation on nutrient content and characteristics of rumen fluid in vitro. This experiment consisted of three (3) experimental stages. Experiment Phase 1: Manufacture of a multifunctional grinding machine. This experiment uses a qualitative method through a description of the tools made. Experiment Phase 2: Processing straw and corncobs with the EM4 fermentation method. This experiment used a completely randomized design with six treatments, namely control (elephant grass and grinting grass), corn straw, fermented corn straw, corncob, and fermented corncob with five replications. The variables measured were nutrient content (dry matter, organic matter, ash, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and extracts without nitrogen. Experiment Phase 3: Test the nutritional quality of fermented corn straw and cobs with the In Vitro method. This experiment used a randomized block design with six treatments, namely control (elephant grass and grinting grass), corn straw, fermented corn straw, corncob, and fermented corncob with four replications. The variables measured were the characteristics of the rumen fluid (pH, VFA, and NH3). The results of the Phase 1 experiment show that the feed grinding machine has specifications adapted to its function. Stage 2 showed that the treatment significantly affected the nutrient content. Stage 3 showed that different treatments had a significant effect on NH3 and no significant effect on pH and VFA. Based on the results of experiments that have been carried out, corncob fermentation can improve its nutritional content.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the polymorphism of quantitative traits of Bayang ducks raised with intensive and extensive system in Bayang District, West Sumatera. This study used 114 Bayang ducks consisting of 60 males and 54 females. Ducks are raised intensively and extensively or traditionally in Bayang District. This study used the observation method by calculating the mean, standar deviation, and coefficient of variation. Data were analyzed using the t-test to see the effect of sex and rearing system. The variables observed in this study were body weight (BW), chest circumference (CC), beak length (BL), wing bone length (WBL), shank length (SL), shank circumference (SC), femur length (FL), tibia length (TL), and Back Length (BAL). The results showed that sex had a significant effect (P<0.01) on FL and (P<0.05) on SL and CC. The rearing system had a significant effect (P<0.05) on SC and FL in male Bayang ducks. The coefficient of variation (CV) in male Bayang ducks was moderate (>5-15%) except for TL which was small (<5%). While in female Bayang ducks WBL and TL have CV classified as low, CC classified as high and other traits classified as medium. The conclusion of this study is that sex and rearing system affect the quantitative characteristics of Bayang ducks and the CV of Bayang ducks is low to high.
