Abstract

This study aimed to ascertain the influence of black soldier fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) maggot flour in rations on the performance of KUB chickens. This study used 60 KUB chickens aged 5 weeks, which were maintained until they were 12 weeks old and were placed in 20 boxes measuring 115 cm × 85 cm × 85 cm, each containing three KUB chickens. This investigation used a randomized block design (RBD) with four groups and five treatments. The treatments used in this study were A (0% BSF maggot meal from 15% fish meal), B (25% BSF maggot meal from 15% fish meal), C (50% BSF maggot meal from 15% fish meal), D (75% BSF maggot meal from 15% fish meal), and E (100% BSF maggot meal from 15% fish meal). The treatment rations were formulated with 17.5% isoproteins and 2800 kcal/kg isoenergy. Feed conversion, body weight gain, dietary intake, and income over feed cost (IOFC) were measured. The results indicated that the addition of BSF maggot meal to KUB chicken rations had no significant effect (P>0.05) on feed consumption and feed conversion but had a significant effect (P<0.05) on body weight gain. In conclusion, providing 25% BSF maggot flour from 15% fish flour in the ration can maintain the appearance of KUB chickens.

Abstract

Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are biopolymers produced by various microorganisms and belong to the postbiotic group, which has great potential for application in food products, especially livestock products. In recent years, EPS has been increasingly studied owing to its ability to improve the functional properties of food, such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antibiofilm, immunomodulatory, and antitumor activities, as well as its potential as a prebiotic and agent for enhancing probiotic properties, while also improving product technology characteristics. From a food processing technology perspective, EPS play an important role in increasing viscosity, emulsion stability, texture, system stability, and gel formation ability, thereby contributing to improved product quality and stability. The advantage of EPS over live probiotics as a postbiotic lies in its higher stability under processing and storage conditions, making it more applicable in various food matrices. This review focuses on the effects of applying EPS produced by various microorganisms on the quality and functional properties of livestock food products, including milk, meat, eggs, and their processed products. Various research results have shown that the addition of EPS can improve physical stability, improve texture, extend shelf life, and increase functional value. The information provided discusses the influence of EPS produced by various types of microorganisms that have a positive impact on livestock products, such as milk, meat, eggs, and their processed products. Based on the results of this search, this is the first compilation to study the application of EPS in livestock products.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding indigenous microorganisms (IMO) derived from chicken feathers on the physicochemical properties of chicken feather flour, namely, color, microscopic structure, and crude fiber content. An experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and four replications was used in this study. The treatments were the addition of IMO chicken feathers at levels A (0%), B (1.5%), C (3%), D (4.5%), and E (6%) to fermentation feather meal. The parameters observed were color (L*, a*, b*), microscopic structure, and crude fiber content. The results showed that increasing IMO concentration significantly decreased lightness (L*), crude fiber content, and increased yellowness (b*) but did not significantly affect redness (a*). Microscopic observations revealed keratin structure degradation at higher IMO concentrations. The optimal concentration was 4.5%, resulting in balanced physicochemical properties of feather flour. These findings demonstrate the potential of IMO application for the sustainable utilization of chicken feather waste as a protein-rich feather meal.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of storage duration on the physical properties of complete feed wafers supplemented with mangrove fruit as a tannin source and palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD) as an energy source, as well as in vitro rumen fluid characteristics. A completely randomized design was used with four storage duration treatments: 15 days (T1), 30 days (T2), 45 days (T3), and 60 days (T4), with five replications. The feed ingredients consisted of fermented sugarcane tops, Tithonia diversifolia, concentrate, mangrove fruit, and PFAD, which were processed into complete feed wafers. The observed parameters included the physical properties of the wafers, namely aroma, texture, color, water absorption, and density, as well as rumen fluid characteristics, namely total volatile fatty acid (VFA), pH, and ammonia (NH3). The results showed that increasing storage duration tended to decrease total VFA from 123.12 ± 2.28 mM in T1 to 121.10 ± 2.01 mM in T4, although the values remained relatively stable. The rumen fluid pH was also relatively uniform, ranging from 6.82 ± 0.13 to 6.88 ± 0.13. NH3 concentration decreased with increasing storage duration, from 21.28 ± 0.54 mg/100 mL in T1 to 18.13 ± 1.51 mg/100 mL in T4. Storage duration had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the aroma, texture, or color of the wafers, indicating that their physical quality was maintained during storage. Based on these results, it can be concluded that complete feed wafers supplemented with mangrove fruit and PFAD maintained their physical quality and rumen fermentation stability for up to 60 days of storage.

Abstract

Melastoma (M) malabathricum L. is a phytochemically rich tropical plant with potential relevance to methane-mitigation research in ruminants. This study aimed to characterize the tannin and saponin contents of different organs of M. malabathricum L. as a preliminary basis for evaluating its prospective use as a phytogenic resource for livestock. Samples were collected from Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra, Indonesia, and separated into roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits for analysis. Tannin content was analyzed using the hide powder method based on the Folin-Ciocalteu reaction, while saponin content was determined using the TLC scanner method. The results showed clear variations in both metabolites among plant organs. Flowers had the highest tannin content, whereas the roots had the highest saponin content. These findings indicate an organ-specific distribution of bioactive compounds in M. melabathricum L. and suggest that this plant may serve as a promising botanical resource for further studies on methane mitigation. However, as the present study was limited to phytochemical characterization, further in vitro and in vivo studies are required to verify the effects of this extract on rumen fermentation and methane production.

Abstract

Turi (Sesbania grandiflora) is a high-protein forage legume with significant potential to support ruminant nutrition in tropical regions. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR; Rhizomax) on the vegetative growth of turi as an indicator of forage productivity in ultisol soil. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and five replicates: P0 (without PGPR), P1 (100 ml/plant), P2 (200 ml/plant), P3 (300 ml/plant), and P4 (400 ml/plant). The measured variables included plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaf stalks. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test when appropriate. The results showed that different doses of PGPR had no significant effect (P>0.05) on any of the observed parameters during the early vegetative phase. This indicates that PGPR application did not enhance the early growth performance or potential forage biomass production of turi under the conditions of this study. The lack of response is likely associated with the early growth stage, where external nutrient supplementation is not critical for plant development. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of PGPR on Turi as a forage crop may require longer observation periods or integration with additional nutrient sources to be fully realized.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determinant factors influencing the contribution of livestock and fisheries subsectors to the economy of Mandailing Natal Regency using a multiple linear regression model with a quantitative-mathematical approach. The study employs secondary time series data from 2015-2024 obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The dependent variables are the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of livestock and fisheries subsectors, while the independent variables include livestock population, meat production, egg production, capture fisheries production, aquaculture production, and number of fishery households. Mathematical analysis was conducted through two regression models with classical assumption testing (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation) to ensure the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) properties. The results show that the regression models have excellent predictive capability with R2 values of 0.994 for livestock and 0.997 for fisheries. Livestock population is the dominant determinant for the livestock subsector (β=0,852;p<0.01), while capture fisheries production is the dominant determinant for the fisheries subsector (β=0,789; p<0.01).

Abstract

Camel production systems are increasingly central to livelihood resilience, climate adaptation, and food security in the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) of Kenya, where recurrent droughts and climate variability have undermined conventional cattle-based systems. Consequently, pastoral communities have progressively shifted towards camel-dominant production strategies. Despite the growing economic and ecological significance, systematic empirical forecasting of national camel population trajectories remains limited. Most existing livestock assessments rely on descriptive statistics rather than formal stochastic modelling frameworks. This study developed a comparative univariate time-series forecasting framework. Specifically, it evaluated the forecasting performance of Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Holt's linear trend, Exponential Smoothing State Space (ETS), and Linear Trend models using the annual FAOSTAT livestock stock database for Kenya (1961 to 2024). Model performance was evaluated using stationarity diagnostics, residual independence tests, and out-of-sample forecast accuracy metrics, including Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). Forecast comparisons were further evaluated using the Diebold–Mariano predictive accuracy test. The ARIMA (2,1,1) model achieved the lowest AIC (-46.55) and BIC (-36.25). However, the ETS (M, N, N) model demonstrated the highest predictive accuracy with the lowest forecast errors (RMSE = 622,710; MAE = 429,282; MAPE = 11.36%). The projections suggest that Kenya's camel population is likely to stabilise or moderately increase between 2025 and 2029, reflecting continued adaptation to climate variability. These findings provide valuable evidence for livestock planning, climate adaptation, and sustainable development of Kenya's camel sector.

Abstract

This study was conducted to assess the impact of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MoLM) on the growth performance and carcass quality of broiler chickens at the growing and finishing stages. Fresh Moringa olefera leaves purchased was washed and air dried for two weeks, milled and incorporated into feed. A total of 108 twenty-eight day-broiler chicks of initial average weight of 940g were used in this experiment. Birds were randomly assigned to three treatments of 36 birds each. Each treatment was sub divided into three replicates of 12 birds each.  The three treatments were designated T1(0% MoLM), T2(T 1 + 1% MoLM) and T3 (T1 + 3% MoLM). The experiment lasted for 28 days. Dietary treatments, were labelled as T1 (0% MoLM), T2 (T 1 + 1% MoLM) and T3 (T1 + 3% MoLM). Feeding and watering of birds were served ad-libitum. Productive performance and carcass characteristics of experimental birds were measured.  1 % MoLM diet had the best feed conversion ratio, whiles those on the 3% MoML diet recorded the highest average body weight gain. Carcass analysis indicated that the birds on the 3% MoLM diet had the highest dressing percentage. Sensory evaluation parameters were significantly improved by the inclusion of 3%MoLMin the diet. The 3% MoLM breast cut grilled meat produced highest overall likeness and product intended to buy mean vales.  In conclusion, MoLM inclusion to broiler diets up to 3% improved birds’ performance at growing stage.  After week 4, the growth promoting property of MoLM was not observed.
