Essential oil (EO), as a feed additive, is known to increase feed efficiency and reduce methane production in ruminants. This research was conducted to study the effect of Java cardamom (Amomum compactum Soland ex Maton) essential oil as a feed additive on ruminal feed fermentation. The in vitro gas production technique was used in this research to determine the effect of cardamom on nutrient digestibility or fermentation in the rumen. Cardamom meal was added into the feed sample to obtain final EO concentrations in the fermentation medium of 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg/L. The substrate consisted of Pennisetum purpureum, rice bran, and wheat pollard. The addition of cardamom did not significantly affect dry matter digestibility, except at 100 mg/L, where it decreased. Protein digestibility decreased when the diet was supplemented with cardamom, whereas organic matter and crude fiber digestibility increased by up to 13.5% and 24% at the 100 mg/L EO level, respectively. The production of volatile fatty acids (acetate, propionate, butyrate), pH, and microbial protein synthesis, except ammonia concentration, were not affected by cardamom addition. Similarly, methane production and protozoa population did not significantly change. The utilization of Java cardamom as a feed additive positively affected ruminal fermentation by increasing organic matter and crude fiber digestibility, while reducing protein digestibility.

Although it contains heavy metals, the highly nutritious green mussel Perna viridis is used as a fish meal replacement in fish diets. Fortunately, humic acid (HA) has the ability to chelate heavy metals in animal feeds. Its addition to fish feed formulation is, therefore, needed to prevent the accumulation of heavy metals in the fish's body. Hence, an experiment using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments and 3 replications was conducted to evaluate the performance and feed efficiency of Asian seabass Lates calcarifer juveniles with the addition of HA to their green mussel–based diet containing the heavy metal cadmium (Cd). Five experimental diets were formulated with different dosages of HA addition at 0, 400, 800, 1200, and 1600 mg kg⁻¹ of feed as treatments A, B, C, D, and E, respectively. The experimental diets were given to triplicate groups of 15 Asian seabass juveniles with an initial body weight of 4.30 ± 0.60 g over a 70-day cultivation period, feeding until satiation. The results showed that feed consumption, feed digestibility, protein retention, growth performance, and feed efficiency were significantly affected by HA addition in the fish diet. Among all treatments, HA addition of 1600 mg kg⁻¹ produced the best biological response from the Asian seabass. To conclude, the HA addition of 1600 mg kg⁻¹ into the diet was the best dosage, resulting in optimal growth performance and feed efficiency in Asian seabass. The highest dose of HA in Cd-contaminated feeds could reduce Cd content, but had not yet been able to eliminate Cd in fish meat. Therefore, green mussel meal, with HA addition as an alternative protein source, has potential as a feed additive for Cd-contaminated diets of Asian seabass juveniles.

The transgenic corn variety, NK 603, which contains a gene called CP4 EPSPS (5-enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate synthase) which makes the corn plants tolerant to the glyphosate herbicide, on the other hand conventional corn varieties are sensitive to glyphosate. It was required to test the chlorosis and burn-down effect both in transgenic and conventional corn varieties due to glyphosate. The experiment was conducted to quantify the burn-down effects and chlorosis due to the application of herbicide glyphosate potassium 660 g L⁻¹ on two varieties of corn at the Agriculture Faculty Research Station of Padjadjaran University, West Java, Indonesia, from December 2015 to April 2016. The experiment was arranged in randomized block design with 20 treatments and each treatment replicated twice. At 15 days and 20 days after planting, five transgenic corn varieties (C 7 RR, 979 RR, 77 RR, 85 RR and 95 RR) and five conventional corn varieties (C 7, 979, 77, 85 and 95) were applied with herbicide glyphosate potassium 660 g L⁻¹ at a dose of 2 L ha⁻¹. The results showed that the herbicide was effective to control the weed in both transgenic and conventional corn varieties. The transgenic corn variety exhibited smaller percentages of chlorosis (0–20%) and no burn-down effect was observed following applications of glyphosate potassium 660 g L⁻¹. On the other hand, chlorosis and burn-down effects were found on all conventional corn varieties. The yield of transgenic corn varieties was higher than those of the conventional corn varieties.

In aquaculture, Spirulina platensis is used as a feed supplement as it contains the amino acid phenylalanine. This study was conducted to evaluate the differences in the effects of spirulina-based microcapsules and commercial diets on the absolute, daily, and specific growth rates, as well as the survival rates, of milkfish larvae. The larvae were fed with Spirulina platensis as a core diet in microcapsules with different matrix (wall) compositions. The first capsule wall consisted of gelatin and fish oil, while the second capsule wall contained gelatin, fish oil, and whole egg. The control group was fed a commercial diet. A total of 1,200 larvae were used in this experiment using a recirculating system. The experiment was conducted over 42 days of culture. The larvae were fed three times per day, and the feed amount was increased regularly in accordance with larval growth. The results showed that the effects of both spirulina-based microcapsule diets on absolute growth rate (AGR), specific growth rate (SGR), and average daily growth rate (ADGR) of Chanos chanos larvae were comparable to those fed a commercial diet. The survival rates were 80.6 ± 11.17% for larvae fed Spirulina platensis with a gelatin and fish oil wall, 84.6 ± 8.44% for those fed Spirulina platensis with a gelatin, fish oil, and whole egg wall, and 83.8 ± 16.50% for those fed the commercial diet. This study demonstrated that spirulina-based microcapsules had similar effects to commercial feed on the growth of milkfish larvae, indicating that this diet could potentially replace commercial feed.

Effect of Salinity on the Survival, Growth and Immunity Rate of Juvenile Sea Cucumbers (Holothuria scabra) Sembiring, Sari Budi Moria; Wibawa, Gigih Setia; Hutapea, Jhon Harianto; Giri, I Nyoman Adiasmara

Sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) is an important species as food and medicine, especially for the Chinese market. It is a stenohaline and osmoconforming organism with a low level of tolerance to salinity change. Salinity of the medium is one of the environmental factors that affect the physiology and survival of juvenile sea cucumbers. This study was aimed at assessing the effect of different salinities on the growth, survival and immunity rate of juvenile sea cucumbers (Holothuria scabra) and also determining the suitable salinity level for the optimal growth, survival and immunity rate of the sea cucumbers. This experiment used a completely randomized design with 5 salinity treatments: 24, 29, 34, 39, and 44 ppt with 3 replications using fifteen 30 L fiberglass tanks. The juvenile sea cucumbers measured 4.4 ± 0.2 cm in total length and 5.6 ± 0.3 g in body weight. The juveniles were raised at 15 individuals/tank, fed with cultured fresh benthos once a day in the afternoon. Coelomate was taken from the sea cucumber juveniles from each tank and used to determine the immunity rate and also for the osmolality. The data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Tukey's test at 5% level of significance. The salinity of the medium significantly affected (p < 0.05) the growth, survival rate and immunity rate of sea cucumber juveniles. The 24–34 ppt salinity can support survival rate up to 100%, high growth (6.47–7.10 g) and immunity rate (27–76 × 10⁴ phagocytic cells/mL), while the 44 ppt salinity has resulted in not only a low survival rate (55.60%), but also had a bad effect on osmolality (303 ± 3.5 mOsm/kg), growth (3.12 ± 0.34 g), and immunity (209 × 10⁴ phagocytic cells/mL).

Carbon conservation programs in mangrove ecosystems focus on the growth of mangrove vegetation that is measured based on the amount of carbon present at different tree stages, particularly the seedlings, saplings, and mature mangrove trees. This study was aimed to determine carbon percentage of mangrove ecosystems using the SNI 06 — 3730 — 1995 and TAPPI T 211 om 85 methods, and to analyse the mangrove clustering based on carbon percentage. The results showed that (1) Avicennia spp., Sonneratia spp., Bruguiera spp., Rhizophora spp., Aegiceras spp., Lumnitzera spp., Ceriops spp., Excoecaria agallocha and Xylocarpus granatum had carbon percentages between 45.01% and 55.54%; (2) the carbon percentage of mangroves at different growth stages were as follows; seedlings at 16.3-21.2%, saplings at 19.0-28.1%, trees with diameter at breast height (DBH) of 10-20 cm at 38.1-46.30%, trees with DBH of 20-30 cm at 40.2-51.1% and trees with DBH of 30-40 cm at 49.1-55.20%. The carbon conservation is positively correlated with the carbon sequestration ability and growth of the mangroves.

Photoperiod is one of the factors that regulate endocrine gland hormone production necessary for gonadal growth and development, gametogenesis, and reproductive cycles in fish. However, studies on the influence of photoperiod on tropical fishes are still limited. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of photoperiod on the hard-lipped barb, particularly the gene expression of its cloned gonadotropin hormones I (GtH-I) and II (GtH-II). The experiment was designed using three treatments: 14L:10D (control), 8L:16D (short photoperiod), and 18L:6D (long photoperiod). Four aquariums with nine fish per tank were used as replicates. The fish were maintained under these photoperiod treatments for eight weeks. Pituitary activity was observed by measuring GtH gene expression. The length of cDNA GtH-I was 222 bp, and the cDNA GtH-II was 354 bp. The GtH-I precursor encoded by the cDNA consisted of 67 amino acids, including the mature peptide. The level of GtH gene expression significantly increased as longer photoperiods were applied. The results indicated that photoperiod length affects the reproductive performance of the hard-lipped barb.

The grouper (Epinephelus sp.) is a marine fish species that is widely cultivated commercially for hatchery and grow–out purposes and shows a promising production prospect. The structure and development of fish intestines are influenced by internal and external factors, such as water quality, feed quality, and feed quantity. However, even though the protein content in the diet is relatively high, the growth performance of Epinephelus lanceolatus × Epinephelus fuscoguttatus remains low. This study aimed to determine the effect of papaya simplicia supplementation on grouper growth, specifically absolute weight gain and protein efficiency ratio. The experiment used a Completely Randomized Design with five treatments and three replications (A: papaya simplicia 5%, B: 3.75%, C: 2.5%, D: 1.25%, and E: 0% as the control). Groupers were reared in floating net cages in Pangandaran Regency, Indonesia. Supplementation of papaya simplicia at 3.75% and 5% increased the number of necrotic cells (169 and 183 cells, respectively), as well as the number of goblet cells. The addition of papaya simplicia at 5%, 3.75%, and 2.5% increased the absolute weight gain to 161.36 g, 152.19 g, and 152.09 g, respectively. Supplementation at 5% and 3.75% also increased the protein efficiency ratio to 3.18% and 3.19%, respectively.
