Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of BSF (Black Soldier Fly) maggot in rations on native chicken carcass yield, including body weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, and abdominal fat. The native chicken that was used in this study was KUB chicken. This study used 100 native chickens aged six weeks, and the study duration was six weeks. Chickens were placed in cages measuring 100×100×100 cm. The experimental method in this study included a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and four replications. The treatment used treatment T1 (0% maggot flour), T2 (7% maggot flour), T3 (14% maggot flour), T4 (21% maggot flour), and T5 (28% maggot flour). The ration was prepared with 17.5% iso-protein and 2800 kcal/kg iso-energy. Body weight, carcass weight, carcass percentage, and abdominal fat percentage were observed in this study. The results and analysis of variance showed that the inclusion of BSF maggot flour in rations had a significant effect (P<0.05) on body weight and carcass weight, had no significant effect (P>0.05) on carcass percentage, and highly significant (P<0.01) to abdominal fat percentage. In conclusion, using up to 14% of BSF maggot flour produced the best carcass yield on the native chicken of KUB.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of supplementing ruminant feed with gambir leaf extract (Uncaria gambir Roxb.) from Pangkalan, West Sumatra, as a natural feed additive on the in vitro digestibility of crude fat, crude fiber, and nitrogen-free extract (NFE). The study used a completely randomized design with four treatments: T0 (control, without extract), T1 (0.5% gambir extract), T2 (1% gambir extract), and T3 (2% gambir extract). The parameters observed included crude fat, crude fiber, and NFE digestibility. The results showed that gambir leaf extract supplementation had a significant effect (P<0.05) on all parameters tested. Treatment T3 provided the highest digestibility values, namely crude fat 66.47%, crude fiber 66.45%, and NFE 67.99%, compared to the control (64.17%, 64.52%, and 65.70%). This increase is thought to be due to the bioactive content of gambir extract, namely tannins (64.84%), catechins (60.11%), and saponins (0.96%), which work synergistically to modulate rumen microbes, protect nutrients from excessive degradation, and increase fermentation efficiency. In conclusion, gambir leaf extract from Pangkalan has the potential to be a natural feed additive that improves nutrient digestibility in ruminants. These results support utilizing local phytochemical-based resources for feed efficiency and sustainable livestock farming.

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

Dry salt-cured skin is an alternative material for standard shrimp crisp skin, but it is difficult to discard to discard hair. The alternative is to use indigenous microorganisms (IMO) of elephants grass (Pennisetum purpureum), which contain protease enzymes that help the waste process hair. This research aims to determine the effect of using grass elephant IMO in unhairing on dry salt-cured skin with various soaking times cow skin to physicochemical and sensory tests. This research uses the method experiment with a completely randomized design, which consists of five treatments and four repetitions. The treatments were soaking the cow skin in a solution of grass elephant IMO for 12-60 hours. The parameters observed are rate water, rate proteins, texture, lightness (L*), and sensory test (cleanliness of hair, cleanliness of skin, and skin color). The results of the study showed that the length of soaking the skin using IMO elephant grass in the unhairing process had no significant effect (P>0.05) on moisture content, protein content, texture, and lightness (L*) but had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the sensory test; fur cleanliness, skin cleanliness, and color. Results best on study This is on immersion during 24 O'clock with an average rate of water 64.76%, rate proteins 31.51%, texture 56.88h, lightness (L*) 45.81 and sensory test; cleanliness hair 3.97 (clean), cleanliness skin 3.94 (clean), and color 4.63 (sand).

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.
