A study on the infection of Newcastle disease (ND) in ducks has been conducted at some areas in Indonesia and other countries by serology method and viral isolation. The result indicated that ND virus was capable of infecting ducks, stimulated immune response, with or without manifestation of the clinical signs of ND . Based on the pathotyping tests, viral isolates were considered as velogenic strains. Some infected ducks could spread the virus to the environment through faeces, so that it will be very dangerous for chicken breeder residing in the same location with many duck populations . On that account, ducks have an important role in spreading the ND virus, thus care should be taken on the presence of ducks in the poultry farms . Key word : Newcastle disease, ducks, velogenic strain

Ducks in Indonesia play roles in producing egg and meat. More than 19% of egg consumption were produced by ducks, however as meat source they only contributed 0.94% of total meat supply in Indonesia. Feed and feeding management are very important in duck farming as 70% of total production cost of egg and meat-type ducks accounted for feed cost. Unfortunately, nutrient requirements for the Indonesian ducks were limited. Therefore, overseas nutrient recommendation may be used. Water is the most important nutrient for poultry including duck, therefore quantity and quality of water are very important to be considered in feeding ducks. There are various local feeds available in Indonesia to be used as duck diets. Quality of feed is very important in duck farm as the ducks is very sensitive to aflatoxin poison. The maximum safe level of aflatoxin in the diet was to be less than 40 µg/kg. Key words. Duck, egg, meat, feed and nutrient

Agriculture in Indonesia is dominated by a rice-based farming system where ruminants are kept as saving and to provide draft power. The productivity of ruminants under this farming system is relatively low. The low productivity is mainly due to inadequate supply of feed. As the agriculture is a rice-based farming system, rice straws become potential crop residues existing in almost all areas in Indonesia. Many studies on the utilization of rice straw as ruminant feed have been conducted. Rice straw has very low nutritive values, especially its crude protein content and digestibility. A lot of treatments have been applied to improve the nutritional values particularly the digestibility value, that is, by means of physical, chemical and biological treaments. In recent studies, the efficiency of rice straw utilization for ruminants was improved by supplementation of probiotic. The aim of probiotic addition is to enhance the ability of rumen microbes to digest the rice straw in the rumen by their synergistic effect. The methods of probiotic addition can be introduced into rice straw through fermentation process or mixed with the concentrates. This paper exposes the utilization of probiotic-fermented rice straw for ruminant animals and their storage system. Key words: Rice straw, fermentation, probiotic, ruminants

Livestock Recovery Programme on Merapi Disruption Area A series of volcano eruption of Merapi on October and November 2010 was one of the biggest eruptions since 1872 with around 275 people died, 576 people in hospital and 287.131 people were evacuated. This disaster has impacted to the threatened livestock subsector that cannot be from farmers in the rural areas, especially in the Merapi surrounding areas. The proportion of livestock to total population was 14, 39 and 21,5%, for beef cattle, dairy and buffaloes respectively. Total of cattle died were 2.907 heads and the district of Sleman suffered the highest loss in livestock deaths in which 43% of the threatened dairy population died. A various action program has been carried out to recovery, i.e. supply of concentrate and wafer plus, knock down barn innovation for dairy, along with supply of medicine and services for better life of livestock. Recommendations of medium and long terms action programme for rehabilitation and reconstruction of livestock farming include: repair on water supply, innovation of complete feed, forage rehabilitation plantation, composting management and biogas usage, knock down for dairy barn to anticipate the Merapi eruption in the future, and surveillance on the possibilities of contamination and strategic animal diseases. Rehabilitation and reconstruction effort may recover the farmer economic livelihood that has been devastated in a liable period of time. Key words: Merapi disruption, livestock recovery

Generally, parasitic diseases in animals may be caused by protozoa, ectoparasites and helminthes. The diseases appearing in the hosts may range from delicate to fatal disturbances depending on the parasite types, pathogeny, location, and various factors. The diseases may be spread directly or though vectors. In'the area ofanimal health, including veterinary world, tropical diseases spread by vectors are the main cause for morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Unwise use of pesticides has caused many negative impacts both in the form of resistance to the disease vectors and to the environment. The utilization of biological agents or natural enemies is generally known as biological control for pest organism . Biological control has been carried out in the area of agricultural and plantation, mainly using predators for pest insects. The use of parasitic and pathogenic agents in biological control appeared much later. Several natural enemies have reached the operational utilization or extensive trial stage. Among them are Bacillus thuringiensis and B. spahericus. Those showing prospect are fungi, such as Lagenidium giganteum with industrial scale prospect. Invertebrate predator Toxorhynchites sp. has a good natural control potency as shown by the experiment result in the field. The presence of effective and save biological control will extensively support the disease control. In this paper, the use of nematofagus fungus as an alternative for nematode control in the ruminant digestive system is used as an example. Key words: Parasitic disease, biological control, animal

The increase in world fuel prices in the last few years has charged the global animal feedstuffs. In Malaysia, the feed industry is dependent on the importation of corn and soybean meal as the poultry and swine industries are almost totally based on corn soya bean meal diets. However, there are many byproducts and coproducts available in Malaysia as alternatives to corn or soy bean. Since Malaysia has more than 4 million hectares of oil palm plantation and after processing for the oil, large quantities of several byproducts are produced. This paper describes several available byproducts and co products in Malaysia, their nutritive value and their problems. Key words: Byproducts, non conventional feed, Malaysia

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) or Lucerne is a perennial herbaceous legume with superior forage quality. It is the most important forage crop in the world and it was the first domesticated forage crop. Alfalfa is able to fix nitrogen from the air through a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria with N production 7.85 – 10.37 g/m2. Its rooting system can reach 4.5 m that allows it to escape drought. Forage production can reach 15.48 tons of dry matter per ha/year and containing 18.0 – 29.1 % crude protein. Plants can live 3 to 12 years depending on climatic conditions and crop varieties. However, alfalfa is not a tropical plant, thus it has not been widely cultivated in Indonesia. The problem of alfalfa cultivation are high pest attacks and competition with weeds. Therefore, alfalfa cultivation requires attention and good management to obtain optimum yield. Key word: Alfalfa, forage production, nutrition, pest
