Calf Performance Offspring of Cow Fed with Depolarizing Katuk Leaves

The birth and growth of dairy calves are important factors in the dairy cattle business. The growth of calves and mothers needs to be monitored in production management so that they can produce good seeds or milk according to the expected quality. This study aims to determine the effect of feeding depolarized katuk leaves on the performance of calves from cow consuming depolarized katuk. 21 gestation cows were three groups of seven cows each, the control group (feed complete),CF-DKPo (complete feed added with Depolarized Katuk Powder), CF-DKPe (complete feed added with Depolarized Katuk Pellets). As a feed addition, 100 grams of depolarized katuk feed were provided daily to each head which is given in the morning by mixing it with the morning feed. The treatment was served during at 10 days before calving day and up to 7 days birth. The research data consisted of gestational days data, daily gain data and calf body weight data from 0 – 90 days old. Data analysis on gestational age, body weight, and average daily gain of calf were by using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and if there is a difference, continue with further testing (Dunnett’s test) using SPSS. The results showed that there were differences in birth weight and body weight in calves from mothers that were given depolarized katuk leaves. Calves from broodstock that consumed depolarized katuk leaves in pellet form had higher weights compared to the control and BKD treatments. Significant differences occurred in birth weight and calf ADG for each treatment. Katuk leaves that have been depolarized can be added to feed to help calves grow bigger

Seasonal Factors and The Potential of Artificial Insemination (AI) in Dairy Cattle

Dairy cattle are dominant milk producer in Indonesia. Several programs have been carried out to increase the population of dairy cattle and milk production, one of which is Artificial Insemination (AI). Indonesia is a tropical country that has two seasons, namely the rainy season and the dry season. This study was conducted in the KPSBU Lembang working area, West Java, from November 2019 to January 2020. Rainfall data from the BMKG Dramaga Climatology Station and artificial insemination (AI) records of Frisian Holstein dairy cattle from 2017 to 2019 were collected. AI success was assessed using the Service per Conception (S/C) and Conception Rate (CR) parameters, obtained through pregnancy checks two months after insemination. Pregnancy checks were conducted using rectal palpation to confirm conception. Statistical analysis focused on seasonal differences in reproductive performance based on these metrics. Highest S/C value was 2.02 with CR Value 53.27% on rainy season with rainfall 253.67 mm month-1. The analysis showed a strong correlation (α = 0.005) between S/C and CR value (0.89*), very weak correlation between rainfall with S/C (r = -0.05) and CR (r = -0.08). The results of the research show that the rainy season and the dry season are not the main factors affecting the AI in dairy cattle, however they didn’t directly affect the season to increase the productivity of saplings

Improved content aware scene retargeting for retinitis pigmentosa patients

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In this paper we present a novel scene retargeting technique to reduce the visual scene while maintaining the size of the key features. The algorithm is scalable to implementation onto portable devices, and thus, has potential for augmented reality systems to provide visual support for those with tunnel vision. We therefore test the efficacy of our algorithm on shrinking the visual scene into the remaining field of view for those patients.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Simple spatial compression of visual scenes makes objects appear further away. We have therefore developed an algorithm which removes low importance information, maintaining the size of the significant features. Previous approaches in this field have included <it>seam carving</it>, which removes low importance seams from the scene, and <it>shrinkability </it>which dynamically shrinks the scene according to a generated importance map. The former method causes significant artifacts and the latter is inefficient. In this work we have developed a new algorithm, combining the best aspects of both these two previous methods. In particular, our approach is to generate a <it>shrinkability </it>importance map using as seam based approach. We then use it to dynamically shrink the scene in similar fashion to the <it>shrinkability </it>method. Importantly, we have implemented it so that it can be used in real time without prior knowledge of future frames.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We have evaluated and compared our algorithm to the <it>seam carving </it>and image <it>shrinkability </it>approaches from a content preservation perspective and a compression quality perspective. Also our technique has been evaluated and tested on a trial included 20 participants with simulated tunnel vision. Results show the robustness of our method at reducing scenes up to 50% with minimal distortion. We also demonstrate efficacy in its use for those with simulated tunnel vision of 22 degrees of field of view or less.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Our approach allows us to perform content aware video resizing in real time using only information from previous frames to avoid jitter. Also our method has a great benefit over the ordinary resizing method and even over other image retargeting methods. We show that the benefit derived from this algorithm is significant to patients with fields of view 20° or less.</p

Milk Production and Morphometrics Derived from Digital Images of Friesian and Holstein Cows in Different Lactation Periods

This study was conducted to analyze milk production and morphometrics derived from digital images of Friesian and Holstein cows in smallholder farms located in Pondok Rangon, Lembang, and Cibungbulang Bogor in different lactation periods. The morphometric parameters measured in this study included body length, height, chest girth, and body weight. The findings indicated that Holstein cows exhibited greater body length, height, chest girth, and body weight compared to Friesian cows across all farms. Milk production in Friesian cows remained relatively stable from lactation periods one to three. Additionally, body length, height, chest girth, and body weight were found to influence the milk production of both Friesian and Holstein cows. Cows with longer body lengths, greater heights, higher body weights, and wider chest girths tended to produce more milk. Chest girth and weight emerged as the primary factors influencing milk production in Friesian and Holstein cows, while height, body length, and lactationperiod also played significant roles
