Efek Pemberian Ekstrak Etanol Daun Leilem (Clerodendrum Minahasae) terhadap Kadar Kreatinin, Asam Urat dan Ureum pada Tikus Putih (Rattus Novergicus)

  Kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan di bidang pengobatan sekarang ini sangat pesat seiring dengan kemajuan teknologi, namun penggunaan obat-obatan tradisional semakin digemari. Hal ini disebabkan rendahnya efek samping yang ditimbulkan oleh obat-obatan tradisional, praktis pemakaiannya, mudah memperolehnya dan harga yang terjangkau. Sulawesi Utara merupakan salah satu daerah yang memiliki begitu banyak jenis tumbuhan, diantaranya tumbuhan leilem (Clerodendrum minahassae) dari genus Clerodendrum. Tumbuhan leilem merupakan tumbuhan endemik Sulawesi Utara yang oleh masyarakat Minahasa sering dikonsumsi sebagai sayur dan biasanya ditambahkan pada pengolahan daging. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ekstrak etanol daun leilem  terhadap gambaran nilai ureum, asam urat dan kreatinin pada tikus putih yang diinduksi etlen glikol. Rancangan penelitian, kelompok perlakuan dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok. Kelompok kontrol (P0), Kelompok etilen glikol (P1), Kelompok perlakuan batugin (P2), kelompok ekstrak etanol daun leilem dosis 150 mg/kgBB (P3), dan kelompok ekstrak etanol daun leilem dosis 300 mg/kgBB (P4). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol daun leilem 150 mg/kgBB dan 300 mg/kgBB dapat  menurunkan kadar ureum, kreatinin dan asam urat pada tikus dengan perlakuan etilen glikol. Ekstrak etanol daun leilem 150 mg/kgBB lebih baik dalam  menurunkan kadar ureum, kreatinin dan asam urat tikus  dibandingkan dengan dosis 300 mg/kgBB (p<0.05).   Kata kunci : Leilem, ureum, kreatinin, asam ura

HAMBATAN PETERNAK DALAM PEMELIHARAAN TERNAK KERBAU DI KABUPATEN ENREKANG

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kendala yang dihadapi peternak kerbau di Kabupaten Enrekang, yang memiliki potensi besar dari segi ketersediaan pakan, luas lahan yang memadai, serta nilai ekonomi ternak kerbau. Namun, potensi tersebut belum diimbangi dengan perkembangan usaha peternakan kerbau karena metode pemeliharaan yang masih bersifat tradisional. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan metode survei, yaitu penelitian yang menggambarkan fenomena untuk melihat hubungan antar variabel. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hambatan pada subsistem hulu meliputi ketersediaan pakan sebesar 53% dan ketersediaan bibit sebesar 41%. Sementara itu, pada subsistem on-farm, hambatan yang ditemukan adalah penanganan penyakit sebesar 25%, pemeliharaan dan kandang sebesar 39%, serta reproduksi sebesar 27%. Sedangkan pada subsistem hilir dan pendukung lainnya, tidak ditemukan kendala dalam pemeliharaan ternak kerbau di Desa Sumbang, Kecamatan Curio, Kabupaten Enrekang.
