Efisiensi dan Nilai Ekonomi Daging Sapi untuk Potongan Pasar Tradisional Berdasarkan Potongan Komersial yang Berbeda

Beef consumers in Indonesia are generally more familiar with the term of traditional processed meat such as rendang and semur compared to the standard commercial cuts. Those terms of beef cuts are usually used in meat trading as a communication language. The study aimed to evaluate the yield and economic value of traditional beef cuts including rendang, semur and tetelan derived from different types of standard commercial cuts. A total of 298.7 kg of beef consisting of 60 commercial cuts of topside and blade were used in this study. Each of commercial cuts was then broken down into common traditional common market name such as rendang, semur and tetelan cuts. The observed parameters consisted of the weights and percentages of the cuts and their economic values, including the cost of goods manufactured (COGM). The differences between topside and blade cuts in their yield and economic value were compared by t-test analysis using the R statistical program version 4.0.0. The results showed that the weight of topside cut was significantly lower than that blade (P <0.05). However, the topside cut produced significantly higher amount and percentage of rendang and significantly lower amount and percentage of semur and tetelan compared to the blade (P<0.05). Economically, the value of blade cut was higher than that of topside for each kg of the traditional beef cuts (rendang, semur, tetelan) produced. It could, therefore, be concluded that the topside cut is economically more efficient than the blade in producing the traditional beef cuts

Performance and Development Strategy for Swamp Buffalo (Bubalus Bubalis) in Serang District Indonesia

Buffaloes is performance and potensial has ideal as meat-producing livestock, but the population has declined each year. The purpose of this research was to analyze performance and development strategy of swamp buffalo in Serang District. The resarch metodology was using the Body Condition Score (BCS) system and the analysis of Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat (SWOT). The research was conducted in Serang District with a survey method, observation and in-depth interviews to 50 farmers, with the snowball sampling, and reinforced with secondary data from the instance relevant. The research location was determined by purposive sampling. Data obtained from 36 buffaloes randomly with the range of age before and after sexual maturity with a different sex, through direct observation using a frame-size Body Condition Scores (BCS). Analysis BCS calculations using factorial completely randomized design. The analysis showed that bulls have better of Body Condition Scores (BCS) level than cows when subjected to sexual maturity. The result value of the interaction between age and sex was significant (P<0.05), so there were SWOT that differs between the interactions with one another. The SWOT analysis and Quantitative Strategic Planning (QSP): the priority was to improve the weaknesses of alternative strategies to avoid threats, the strategy was to strengthen the organizational/institutional breeders that have a strong bargaining power in order to increase the population of buffaloes and breeder ability

Penilaian Tingkah Laku Sapi Brahman Cross Selama Proses Loading dan Unloading

Loading and unloading process may lead stress to the animal. The stress can be observed from behavior action of the animal. The aim of the study was to assess behavior during loading and unloading process. Total 24 loading groups (LG) with 11 Brahman cross cattles for each LG was observed during study. An average bodyweight of the cattle was 521±28.14 kg. The data was analyzed descriptively with score, frequency and duration of each behavior action. The results showed that the cattle had loading time of S score (very bad) and behavior score 3 (average). Meanwhile the unloading time of T score (very good) and behavior score of 3 (average). Slips, jump, and fall behavior were the behavior that frequent occured during the loading and unloading process. In general, the loading process potentially stressful for cattle compare to unloading process

Physiological Responses of Bali Cattle with Oil Palm Integrated Farming System Based on Microclimate Environment Condition

Microclimate is one factor that can affect the performance of cattle. The aim of this research was to analyze the physiological responses of bali cow and heifer that kept under oil palm integrated farming system based on microclimate environment. This study was conducted in Rimba Beringin, Tapung Hulu, Kampar, Riau. Total 13 head of female Bali cattle consist of 5 head of heifer and 8 head of cow were used in the research. Microclimate parameters were ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity. Whereas, physiological responses parameters were rectal temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, and body surface temperature. The result showed that Bali cattle has mild to severe heat stress (THI 76-84). However physiological responses of Bali cattle were normal, therefore Bali cattle can adaptated in the environment. Orbital area, top of shoulder and back have coefficent of correlation 0.58, 0.46, dan 0.45 repectively with the rectal temperature

Kajian Program Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja (K3) Rumah Potong Hewan (RPH) di DKI Jakarta

The slaughterhouse is responsible for the Occupational Safety and Health of the workers and other people related to the activities. The purpose of the study was to examine the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety program at abattoir in DKI Jakarta. This study uses the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Risk Control (HIRARC) method as a guideline for identifying potential hazards and health problems in slaughterhouses. The results of the hazard severity assessment (Severity) based on risk analysis and risk evaluation show that the percentage of the impact of very light risk is 7%, light risk is 34% the impact of currently risk is 34%, the impact of heavy risk is 21% and the impact of fatal risk is 3%. The probability of an accident (likelihood) in the three abattoirs shows that abattoir C is less likely to have an accident with a percentage of 53%. The smaller of production capacity of an abattoir, the less likely an accident will occur. Risk control can be carried out by elimination, substitution, technicalcontrol, administrative control, and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
