Physiological Response and Haematological Profile of Reproductive Ewe Consuming Diet Supplemented with Black Tea Extract and Sunflower Seed Oil

This study was aimed to examine the effect of black tea extract addition in diet containing 4% and 6% sunflower oil on ewe physiological responses and blood profiles from late pregnancy until early lactation. This study was designed using a 2×2 factorial completely randomized design with 5 replications on 20 late-pregnant ewes. The first factor was two levels of sunflower seed oil (4% and 6%) and the second factor was the levels of black tea extract addition (0 ppm and 500 ppm). Data were analyzed by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's multiple range test. Results showed that supplementation of sunflower seed oil and black tea extract had no effect on physiological responses and blood profiles of ewe during late pregnancy until early lactation except for erythrocyte numbers. Erythrocyte numbers were higher on 6% sunflower seed oil supplementation than that of 4% (P<0.05). In conclusion, addition of black tea extract in diets containing 4% and 6% sunflower seed oil limitedly affect physiological responses and blood profiles of ewe

Feed Intake and Efficiency of Slow Loris (Nycticebus coucang) in Captivity. Study on feed intake and efficiency of captive slow loris (Nycticebus coucang) has been conducted at the Division of Zoolgy, Research Center for Biology – LIPI for five weeks. Three individuals were placed in three cages, with its sizes of 1.2 x 1.7 x 1.9 m (one cage) and 0.8 x 1.7 x 1.9 m (two cages). Feeds consisting of papaya, banana, coconut, passion fruit, guava, sweet corn, quail egg, and white bread, were given ad libitum. Average body weight of slow loris in the beginning of the study was 587 gram/head and at the end was 648.33 gram/head. Average of feed consumption was 317.26 gram/kgBW/day. Average of feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio (PER) was 0.0270 and 0.0945, respectively

Physical Quality of Complete Pellets Feed Containing Peanut Waste (Arachis hypogaea) and Its Effects on Rabbit Growth Performance

This study aimed to evaluate the physical quality of complete pellets with the addition of peanut waste and the effect of its administration on the performance of rabbits. A total of 20 local male rabbits aged 12 weeks with an average body weight of 1335.60 ± 280.53 g are divided into five groups based on body weight, and then used in this study which is performed in randomized block design (RBD). The rabbits are fed on the commercial pellets as a control diet (P0) and feed pellets containing peanut waste at the level of 5% (P1), peanut waste 10% (P2), and peanut waste 15% (P3). The results show that the physical quality of the pellets was not significantly different (p>0.05) in all treatments. Feeding complete pellets with the addition of peanut waste rabbits performances show no significant difference in performance (p>0.05) in all treatments. In conclusion, complete pellets with the addition of peanut was can resemble the physical quality of commercial pellets (control), maintain performance

Kecukupan Asupan Nutrien Asal Hijauan Pakan Kambing PE di Desa Totallang-Kolaka Utara

This study aimed to identify patterns of feed provision and evaluate the nutritional adequacy of crossbred goats (EC) in Totallang, Lasusua District of North Kolaka. The method used was descriptive analysis to describe the general state of research sites, feeding system and adequacy of nutrien by EC goats. The result revealed that livestock rearing is generally performed by breeders at the age of 1556 years (productive age group) of 81.25 and the remaining 18.75 in those aged &gt;56 years. The experience of breeder ranges from 15 years (68.75) and &gt;6 years (31.25). The type of feed used by farmers in the village of Totallang include: Gliricidia sp., Pennisetum purpureum, Erytrina subumbrans (Hassk.), and Ficus variegata Blume. Gliricidia sp. was dominant forage fed to animals (95.98) and other forage were fed in limited portion such as: pennisetum purpureum (1.79), Erytrina subumbrans (Hassk.) (1.34%) and Ficus variegata Blume (0.89). Gliricidia sp. contributed protein in ration up to 16.82. About 56.25 of farmer fed animal with 100 Gliricidia sp., while 18.75 of farmer used Gliricidia sp. in combination with Erytrina subumbrans (Hassk.) and 12.5 of them fed EC goats with combination of Gliricidia sp. and Erytrina subumbrans (Hassk.) or and Ficus variegata Blume. About 62.5 farmer in Totallang fed their goat with sufficient dry matter intake according to Kearl (1982), as well as 100 of goat were sufficient in crude protein intake meanwhile TDN intake were not fulfilled by farmer about 93.75

Demikian dengan jarak tanam tidak memberikan pengaruh nyata. Kesimpulan varietas 12S49001 memiliki pertumbuhan tanaman yang paling tinggi dan  jarak tanam optimun 25x25 cm. Varietas yang unggul ada pada varietas  12S49001 sebaiknya dikembangkan  sebagai pakan ternak.Kata Kunci:  jarak tanam, pertumbuhan, varietas hybrid.ABSTRACTThiese reseach aim was to evaluate growth of hybird sorghum varieties and well as establish the most ideal spacing on sorghum plants. This study was conducted in Agrostology Laboratorium Animal Science Faculty IPB. This study was arranged by 3x2 factorial in block randomized block design (RBD) with six treatments and four replications. The first factor was the varieties 12FS9006, 13FB7001 and 12S49001 varieties. The second factor was spac of 25x25 cm and 25x40 cm. The result showed sorghum varieties was significantly different (P<0,05) on plant height, stem diameter, width, length and number of leaves. Interaction between variety and plant spacing was not significantly on growth, so as plant spacing was not significantly. It concluded the highest growth of sorghum varieties 12S49001 and spac 25x25 cm was the best plan spac for hybrid sorghum.Keywords: hybrid varieties, growth, spacin

Evaluation of the Addition of Supplement Wafers Containing Prill Fat to Sheep Fed Complete Feed In Vitro

The addition of wafers to animal feed has shown potential for improving feed quality and digestive efficiency in sheep. This study evaluated the effects of different wafer supplementation levels—0.0393 g of wafer (T1), 0.0786 g of wafer (T2), and 0.1179 g of wafer (T3)—on feed quality, rumen fermentability, and nutrient digestibility. A completely randomized design with four treatments and three replicates was used, and parameters such as the rumen pH, ammonia (NH?) concentration, total volatile fatty acid (VFA) content, dry matter digestibility (DMD), and organic matter digestibility (OMD) were measured. Statistical analysis via ANOVA followed by Duncan's test revealed that the addition of wafers significantly increased the DMD and OMD, with values increasing from 73.45 ± 0.59% and 73.11 ± 0.67% at T0 to 81.75 ± 1.14% and 81.26 ± 1.23% at T3, respectively. The NH? concentration increased from 11.80 ± 0.27 mM at T0 to 16.48 ± 0.24 mM at T3, whereas the VFA concentration increased from 82.38 ± 1.92 mM to 147.55 ± 3.67 mM during the same treatment period. These increases indicate improved fermentation activity and more efficient nutrient utilization due to the addition of wafers. Although the DMD and OMD values were higher than those reported in previous studies, this may indicate more efficient feed degradation and better energy release, thereby supporting improved livestock performance. Overall, the addition of 0.1179 g of wafer (T3) yielded the best results, confirming the effectiveness of wafer supplementation in improving feed quality and rumen function in rams

PENGOLAHAN DAUN LAMTORO SECARA FISIK DENGAN BENTUK MASH, PELLET DAN WAFER TERHADAP PERFORMA DOMBA (Physics processing of leucaena leaves by mash, pellet and wafer on the performance of sheep)

Leucaena leaves are an alternative forage of protein source for ruminants containing mimosineas anti-nutrition. Leucaena leaves processing necessary to reduce the content of mimosine, such as physical processing in the form of mash, pellets and wafers. This experiment was designed by randomized block design with 4 levels of treatment and 3 blocks of sheep body weight. The levels of treatment were R1 : control diet, R2 : control diet + 15% leucaena leaves in mash, R3 : control diet + 15% leucaena leaves in pellet and R4 : control diet + 15% leucaena leaves in wafer. Based on the results, the form of pellet and wafer able to reduce mimosine content more than 30% compared to mash. The results showed values significantly different (P &lt;0.05) on dry matter intake, organic matter, crude protein, body weight gain and IOFC. Treatment of R4 showed dry matter intake of 1062 g/head/day, this value is 16% greater than the R1. Body weight gain and IOFC from treatment R4 of 145.54 g/head/day this value is 102% greater than the R1
