Abstract

This study evaluated the feeding behavior and palatability of Etawa Crossbred (PE) dairy goats fed diets with partial substitution of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius forage. An in vivo field experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design with four dietary treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted of: (T0) Leucaena leucocephala (lamtoro) as the basal forage; (T1) lamtoro supplemented with concentrate; (T2) lamtoro plus concentrate with 10% substitution of lamtoro dry matter by C. aconitifolius; and (T3) lamtoro plus concentrate with 20% substitution of lamtoro dry matter by C. aconitifolius. Parameters observed included feed intake (dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, and crude fiber), body weight change, and feeding behavior related to forage preference. The goats consistently consumed forage prior to concentrate and exhibited a higher preference for diets containing C. aconitifolius. Inclusion of C. aconitifolius reduced lamtoro intake; however, no significant differences were observed among treatments for dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, or crude fiber intake (P>0.05). Body weight change showed a positive tendency in goats receiving 10% and 20% C. aconitifolius substitution, while goats fed the control diet experienced slight weight loss, although these differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). In conclusion, C. aconitifolius demonstrated good palatability and potential as an alternative forage for PE goats when used as a partial substitute for lamtoro. Nevertheless, its inclusion at the tested levels did not significantly affect nutrient intake or body weight change. Further studies are recommended to optimize inclusion levels and feeding strategies to enhance its practical application in small ruminant production systems.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the qualitative characteristics of local ducks in Kediri Regency, East Java, as a foundational basis for breeding and genetic improvement programs. A total of 250 female local ducks were observed across five subdistricts using purposive sampling. Data were collected through direct observation of feather color patterns and beak color and were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that all observed ducks had black beaks (100%) and brown head feathers (100%). Additional dominant characteristics included white feathers above the eyes (96%), brown wing feathers (98%), brown back feathers (100%), brown tail feathers (98%), and brown thigh feathers (100%). These findings indicate that Kediri local ducks are predominantly characterized by brown plumage with distinctive white stripes above the eyes and solid black beaks. The observed variations in feather and beak color are influenced by genetic factors, particularly melanin and lipochrome pigments. This study provides essential baseline data to support selective breeding strategies, genetic conservation, and the sustainable development of local duck resources, thereby contributing to regional livestock improvement programs.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation and contribution of the Sekolah Peternakan Rakyat (SPR) Program to Brahman Cross cattle farming in Bojonegoro Regency. A mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design was applied, involving surveys, in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis of 20 SPR farmers. The results show that the program effectively improved farmers’ knowledge and technical competencies (knowledge scores ranging from 4.35–5.00). However, business expansion aspiration remained very low 1.15, indicating structural constraints beyond individual capacity enhancement. Technical performance of Brahman Cross cattle was fluctuating, particularly in reproductive indicators, and institutional capacity within the farmer group remained limited in managerial coordination and collective decision-making. These findings demonstrate that improvements in individual capacity do not automatically translate into sustainable business performance. Institutional strengthening and alignment between program design and smallholder conditions are essential to ensure long-term program effectiveness.

Abstract

Sugarcane cultivation often faces productivity losses due to poor sprouting and non-uniform initial growth. In bud-based nursery systems, seedling quality is heavily constrained by limited media volume and low buffering capacity. This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of NPK fertilizer dosages and Gibberellic Acid (GA) concentrations on the growth and physiological vigor of sugarcane seedlings. The experiment was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design featuring nine treatment combinations with four replications. Parameters measured included plant height, stem diameter, the number of tillers, the number of leaves, and the chlorophyll index. The results demonstrated that the application of the NPK 150 kg ha⁻¹ + GA 50 ppm treatment significantly enhanced plant height, stem diameter, number of shoots, and the number of leaves compared to the control treatment. Statistical analysis revealed a significant interaction between nutrient availability and hormonal stimulation in overcoming the constraints of limited rooting environments. These findings suggest that precise integration of chemical fertilization and exogenous growth regulators is essential for producing high-quality planting material, potentially reducing losses in the subsequent planting cycle. In the future, it is necessary to confirm the use of a combination of NPK fertilizer with gibberellin during the vegetative period of plants so that the information obtained is comprehensive.

Abstract

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a high-value horticultural commodity, but its production has declined due to drought stress affecting plant physiology and female flower formation. To address this issue, the use of mulch and planting spacing can modify the microclimate and reduce inter-plant competition. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of rice straw mulch and planting spacing on the growth, yield, and environmental conditions of cucumber. A factorial randomized block design was employed with two factors: mulch (no mulch and rice straw mulch) and planting spacing (40 × 60 cm, 50 × 50 cm, and 60 × 40 cm), replicated four times. Observed variables included vegetative growth, number of male and female flower, yield, soil temperature, and soil moisture. The study was conducted from June to August 2025 at the Agrotechnopark, Brawijaya University. The results showed a significant interaction between rice straw mulch and 50 × 50 cm planting spacing on fruit diameter, fruit length, fruit weight per fruit, fruit weight per plant, and plant productivity. This combination also created a more stable soil environment. It is concluded that the application of rice straw mulch with a 50 × 50 cm planting spacing is the optimal combination for enhancing cucumber growth and yield through improved microclimate conditions, however, these research are limited to a single growing season and a single experimental location.

Abstract

The Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak has inflicted severe multidimensional disruptions on dairy farming communities, yet limited research has systematically examined how social, economic, and psychological impacts collectively shape farmer welfare in post-outbreak contexts, particularly in developing countries. This study aims to investigate the simultaneous effects of social, economic, and psychological impacts on the welfare of dairy farmers following the FMD outbreak in Indonesia, and to extend theoretical frameworks of welfare and resilience to the context of livestock disease crises. A quantitative survey was conducted with 150 dairy farmers in Pujon District, Malang Regency—one of the areas most severely affected by the 2022 FMD outbreak. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The measurement model results was assessed for reliability and validity, while the structural model tested the hypothesized relationships. All three impact dimensions demonstrated significant positive effects on farmer welfare: social impact (β = 0.640, t = 4.431, p < 0.001), economic impact (β = 0.635, t = 4.487, p < 0.001), and psychological impact (β = 0.647, t = 4.143, p < 0.001). The model explained 95.5% of the variance in farmer welfare (R² adjusted = 0.955), indicating exceptional explanatory power. Factor loadings revealed that mutual assistance (0.990), loss of assets (0.986), and business insecurity (0.981) were the strongest indicators of social, economic, and psychological impacts, respectively. Farmer welfare in post-FMD contexts emerges from the synergistic interplay of social solidarity, economic pragmatism, and psychological resilience. The findings extend welfare utility and post-traumatic growth theories to livestock disease settings and provide evidence-based foundations for integrated post-disaster interventions targeting smallholder farmers in developing countries.

Abstract

Coal mining activities in East Kalimantan have significantly contributed to regional economic development, but they have also resulted in extensive land degradation that requires effective reclamation strategies. The integration of forage crops in reclaimed mine lands offers an opportunity to simultaneously support ecological restoration and livestock production. However, the performance of forage grasses under shaded conditions created by revegetation trees remains insufficiently understood. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological responses, morphological characteristics, and nutritional quality of two forage grass species, Brachiaria humidicola and Stenotaphrum secundatum, grown under shaded conditions on reclaimed coal mine land. The experiment was conducted at the PT Kitadin Embalut reclamation site, East Kalimantan, using a split-plot design with two shading levels (0% and 50%) as the main plots and two grass species as subplots. Each treatment was replicated six times. Variables measured included dry matter yield, leaf-to-stem ratio, chlorophyll content (a, b, and total), crude protein, and crude fiber content. The results showed that a 50% shading level significantly influenced physiological and morphological responses of the grasses. Stenotaphrum secundatum exhibited a marked increase in chlorophyll content under shaded conditions, indicating a stronger acclimation to low light environments compared with Brachiaria humidicola. Shading also reduced the leaf-to-stem ratio in both species. However, dry matter production was not significantly affected by shading, suggesting that both grasses were able to maintain biomass accumulation under moderate shade conditions. Shading slightly reduced crude protein and crude fiber contents.
