Morphometric Analysis in Determining Body Score Index of Male Duroc Pigs

This research aims to determine the index score of male Duroc pigs. The research was carried out at Mitra Tani Farm, Wewiku District, Malaka Regency. The livestock used in this research were 80 1 year old male Duroc pigs. The variable observed in this research is the Salako cumulative index which consists of weight index, height slope index, length index, width slope index, depth index, foreleg length index, balance and cumulative index which will be analyzed using the Salako (2006) formula to see the cumulative index to determine the index score of the livestock. The results of the study showed that the average morphometric size of male Duroc pigs was body weight 46.56 ± 24.00 kg, body length 58.43 ± 16.88 cm, shoulder height 50.78 ± 11.83 cm, hip height 52.00 ± 12.66 cm, chest circumference 77.90 ± 26.50 cm, chest width 18.45 ± 5.78 cm, chest depth 36.32 ± 12.95 cm, hip length 16.36 ± 4.67 cm, and hip width 12.28 ± 2.24 cm. The average weight index, height slope index, length index, width slope index, depth index, foreleg length index, and balance of male Duroc pigs from the research were respectively 14882.30 ± 8387.32; 1.23 ± 1.97; 1.14±0.13; 0.75±0.32; 0.70±0.14; 14.56±7.90; and 1.29 ± 0.70 with a cumulative index of 5.20 ± 2.35. Based on the research results obtained, it was concluded that the high cumulative index value of male pigs can be used to determine the body index score in livestock selection. This can be used as one of the selection criteria in improving the quality of pigs at Mitra Tani Farm Wewiku, Malaka Regency

Area-Based Beef Cattle Farming Spatial Planning in Lampung Province

Livestock areas are areas specifically designated for livestock activities or integrated as a component of farming. The Beef Cattle Livestock development program is faced with the problem of increasingly narrow business land due to increasing competition in land use which results in the land available for green animal feed becoming increasingly narrow. Lampung Province has an area of 33,575.41 Ha with hilly and mountainous topography making it suitable for livestock development, beef production of 21.18 million kg/year, and has large land potential for development. while the beef cattle population is 906,568 heads. With this potential, it is very possible for Lampung Province to become a region for developing beef cattle farming. However, the problem is that Lampung Province does not yet have mapping and standards for spatial planning or beef cattle farming areas. This research was carried out by identifying and analyzing the potential for beef cattle development in Lampung Province using 2 analyzes namely; Descriptive Analysis, and Location Quation (LQ) Analysis. LQ analysis is used to determine the areas of beef cattle livestock centers in districts/cities in Lampung Province. The results of the research show that there are 14 regencies/cities that can be used as business centers for the maintenance and development of beef cattle in Lampung Province. Of the 15 regencies/cities in Lampung Province, only Bandar Lampung City has an LQ value of less than 1. The results of this research can become a reference for the Lampung Provincial government, related agencies and other stakeholders in making policy decisions for developing beef cattle businesses in Lampung Province in the future

Growth Performance of Broilers fed Basal Diets with Different Nutrient Content and Added with Enzyme

The balance of nutrients in the diet is essential for optimal bird performance. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the growth response of broilers fed different basal diets supplemented with enzymes.  A total of 250 day-old chicks (Cobbs, mixed sex) were used in this experiment. The experiment was designed using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 5 treatments and 5 replications (10 birds/pen). The treatments were as follows: P0 = control diets, P0= Control diets, P1= Low crude protein diets (PK) P2= Low crude protein diets supplemented with protease; P3= Low phosphor diets; P4= Low phosphor diets supplemented with fitase. The results of statistical analysis showed that treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on feed intake, body weight gain (BWG), and feed conversion ratio(FCR) of broiler chickens aged 3 weeks. The conclusion of this study was that the addition of protease in a low-protein diet enhances feed intake, body weight gain, and feed efficiency in starter phase broilers. Conversely, the addition of phytase in a low-phosphorus and low-protein diet does not improve the growth performance of starter phase broilers
