Background: The implementation of regional autonomy inhealth care, Human Resources (HR) are required to have healthentrepreneurship ability, leadership and managerial. In fact,until now information about the capabilities are not yet clearlyknown.Purpose: This study aims to know the capabilities soft skills(entrepreneurship, managerial, leadership) of health workersin the District of Bojonegoro and Magetan.Method: Research design that is used is descriptive researchon the location of Health Dander, Baureno Health, and dr.Sosodiro Hospital District of Bojonegoro. Health Candirejo,Health Ngariboyo, Plaosan Health, Health Kawedanan Dr.Sayidiman Hospital Magetan District. Research target is thehead office staff and health, and director of the hospital staff,health staff and the head. Large target is 82 people. Variableinvolved is the ability of soft skills aspects of entrepreneurship,leadership, change management and conflict management.Collecting data is done by giving a ranking scale with the contentof the medium on the aspects of konatif attitude. Data analysiswould be conducted descriptive.Result: Result of research showed that entrepreneurial abilityis less 56.1%, 50.0% less in leadership and managerial 41.5%less. Attributes such as entrepreneurial marketing 48.1% less,self-confidence 57.3% less, task orientation and 58.5% poorresults. Courage risk taking 56.1% less; lobby and negotiate47.5% less. Attributes such as leadership ability 36.6% lessdirective, less supportive 82.9%, 48.8% less participative,achievement orientation, and 52.5% less. While the ability tomanage changes to 13.4% less, manage conflict 74.3% less.Conclusion: The situation above can be concluded that theability entrepreneurship aspects of soft skills, leadership andmanagerial health still needs to be done so that lessimprovement and development of these skills.Keywords: soft skills, entrepreneurship, leadership,manageria

Rumen Fermentation, Blood Metabolites, and Performance of Sheep Fed Tropical Browse Plants

The in vitro study was designed to evaluate total gas production, dry matter degradability (DMD), and VFA profile; while in vivo study was designed to evaluate nutrient intakes, blood metabolites, and performance of sheep fed native grass mixed with Calliandra calothyrrus (CC), Leucaena leucochepala (LL), Moringa oleifera (MO), Gliricidea sepium (GS), and Artocarpus heterophyllus (AH). The best three from the in vitro results were used to formulate diets in in vivo study. Sixteen male growing sheep (average BW 20 kg) were fed 100% native grass (NG) as control; 70% NG + 30% GS; 70% NG + 30% MO; and 70% NG + 30% AH. Nutrient consumptions, DMD, blood metabolites, and sheep performances were analyzed by using Completely Randomized Design. The in vitro results showed that the total gas production and DMD of CC and LL were the lowest (P<0.05) while the highest was found in GS, MO, and AH treatments (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the in vivo results showed that nutrient intakes (DM, CP, and CF) of GS and AH rations were the highest. The ADG, concentration of albumin, and globulin in all treatments were similar, while total serum protein, triglycerides, and glucose concentration in MO and AH rations were higher than others. Serum cholesterol concentration in MO ration was the lowest, meanwhile the concentration of IgG was the highest (P<0.05). Supplementation of 30% MO was the best choice for optimum rumen fermentation and maintaining health status of local sheep

Rumen Fermentation and Milk Quality of Dairy Cows Fed Complete Feed Silages

This study was conducted to evaluate the rumen fermentation and milk quality of Friesian Holstein (FH) cows given complete feed silages during lactation. Twelve FH cows in 5th mo lactation were offered four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with three replications. The treatments were, control diet (NS) containing 50% concentrate, 45% elephant grass and 5% sun flower meal; grass complete feed silage (GS) containing 50% concentrate, 45% elephant grass and 5% sunflower meal; rice straw complete feed silage (RSS) containing 50% concentrate, 30% elephant grass, 15% rice straw and 5% sunflower and palm oil frond complete feed silage (PKS) containing 50% concentrate, 30% elephant grass, 15% palm oil frond, and 5% sunflower meal. Ensilage was done with addition of Lactobacillus plantarum 1A-2 and cellulase enzyme. Analysis of variance and Duncan test were applied to compare the different among the means of treatments. Complete feed silages had range of pH between 3.89-4.44, temperature of 28.0-29.67 oC and lactic acid bacteria of 0.54-1.50 x 108 cfu/g. Crude protein intake of  RSS was  the highest among treatments. Acetate concentration in rumen liquor was more than 70%. Milk yield and protein were not different among treatments. GS gave the highest milk fat (5.66%). The conclusion was that both complete feed silages, using rice straw or palm oil frond can be used as alternative rations for lactating dairy cows. Key words: complete feed, silage, Friesian Holstein, palm oil frond, rice stra
