Indonesian Efforts to Conserve Gembrong Goats

Gembrong goat are mainly found in eastern part of Bali Island, especially in the village of Tumbu, Karangasem. Throughout Indonesia these goats are found no more than 50 heads. This condition puts Gembrong goat in a critical status that indicates the need of emergency and quick action. The present study was carried out to assess the characteristic of this breed and to preserve it through some proposed action plan. Information was obtained by personal observation and discussion with the leader of farmer group. Body weight (BW) and various body measurement were taken from 15 head of Gembrong goat. In general, the color of Gembrong goat body is white, or partly brown or solid brown. The average body weight is of 23.2 kg for females and 30.7 kg for males. The averages Body length of males is 60 cm, height 58.2 cm, and 14.4 cm ear length in males, and in females body length is 56.2 cm, height 55.1 cm and ear length 14.2 cm. To preserve Gembrong goat population from extinction collaborative activities is needed, namely: (1) multiplication of existing Gembrong goat population, (2) Rescuing animal genetic material and (3) up-grading female Kacang goat with Gembrong male goat as to achieve 99% Gembrong goat genetic composition

Pengelolaan Data Plasma Nutfah Ternak

There are several sources of publication could be used as database. The sources could be articles that have been published in the periodicals as well as unpublished data (idle data). Database manager should be the person who know the background, objectives, and the principles to manage the data. In addition, the coordinators should be the persons who have background of animal geneticist by training. Data on the characteristics of breeds or strain within species are extracted and presented on specific format. The format are either in the free or fixed format, for computerization. The presentation could be separated into two form of Master Records containing physical characteristics, and Slave Records containing performance characteristics and environment. Each breed or strain has only one Master Record, but it could have several Slave Records. The number of slave records are dependent upon the number of publication available

Menyelamatkan Candi Borobudur dari Erupsi Merapi

Candi Borobudur adalah sebuah kuil nenek moyang, sebagaimana disebutkan dalam prasasti Sri Kahulunan 842 M yang menyebut Borobudur sebagai " ... Kamulan I bhumi sambhara .. . ". Kamulan dapat diartikan sebagai kuil a tau tempat suci nenek moyang (J. G. de Casparis, 1950). Bernet Kempers (1970:152), dalam salah satu tulisannya mengatakan bahwa "Borobudur is a complicated building with a very special caracter of its own. There is no possibility of adopting any of the system known from literature and of using this as a simple blue print for its interpretation. Borobudur's bu/iders impresius with the originality of their ideas which make this great monument as a religious document in its own right". Dari pernyataan tersebut, Kempers beranggapan bahwa Candi Borobudur lahir dari kreativitas pembuatnya, sebab tidak ada satu monumen pun di dunia yang mempunyai kemiripan dengan candi ini

The Differentiation Of Sheep Breed Based On The Body Measurements

This research was carried out to make a difference and to predict genetic distance some sheep thatare genetically related to each other based on the body size measurements. Nineteen bodies size of 323sheeps of five sheep breeds; namely Barbados Black Belly Cross (BC), Garut Local (GL), GarutComposite (GC), Sumatra Composite (SC) and St. Croix Cross (SCC) were measured. Analysis ofvariance and canonical discriminant analysis, Mahalanobis distance, plotting canonical and dendogramwere performed using PROC GLM, PROC CANDISC, PROC CLUSTER and PROC TREE of SASsoftware ver. 9.0. Index Length, Width Slope, Depth Slope, Balance and Cumulative Index of GC sheepwere significantly higher than the four other breeds. Canonical discriminant analysis successfully coulddifferentiate among the five sheep breeds. All five breed were divided into two groups: the first groupconsisted of SCC, SC and BC; and the second group consisted of the GL and GC. The results of geneticdistance estimation showed that the SCC had a value of sheep genetic distance closest to SC (10.83) andBC (27.98), while GL had the closest distance to GC (66.60). The tail width, horn base circumference,horn length (canonical 1) and variable length of the tail and body length (canonical 2) were the breeddifferentiation variable in this study

Productivity Comparison Between Boer and Kacang Goat Dam

A study to evaluate the productivity of Boer and Kacang goats dam was carried out for 2 years atResearch Institute for Goat Production, Sungei Putih-North Sumatera. The materials used were goatsowned by the institute. The parameters observed were total birth and weaning weights of kid, litter size,parity of dam, pre-weaning mortality and kidding interval. The rate of reproduction and productivity ofthe dam were estimated using Amir and Knipscheer methods and were statistically analyzed usingGeneral Linear Model. The results showed that the total birth and weaning weight of Boer goats werehigher (P<0.05) than that of Kacang goats, while litter size of Boer goats were higher (P<0.05) than thatof Kacang goats. The pre-weaning mortality of Boer goat 15.1 ± 6.02% was lower than that ofKacang. The kidding interval of Boer goats was higher (P<0.05) than that of Kacang. Parity of dam hadsignificant effect on all production traits (P<0.05) except for pre-weaning mortality. Dam reproductionrate of Boer (1.81) was higher than that of Kacang (1.78), while productivity of Boer goat (37.12kg/head/year) was higher than that of Kacang (18.12). It can be concluded that the reproductivity ofBoer and Kacang goats were similar, however the productivity of Boer goat had better than Kacang

Analisis Perbandingan Biaya Operasional Kendaraan (Bok) Jalan Lingkar Ambarawa Dan Jalan Eksisting

Developments in the area Ambarawa showed increased very rapidly, as shown by the many activities of the trip reset - shuttle from Semarang - Yogyakarta, passing Ambarawa. Barriers of time and is very important to know because it is the minimum travel time for a vehicle to the place of destination. As we know often times it happens that so long queue of vehicles caused by several factors during the journey, such as the existence of market centers along the road, not signalized intersections and also the driver's lack of discipline have contributed to the low road. Barriers of this trip will be a negative impact, such as in the form of lost time due to the long trip and the increase in vehicle operating costs (VOC) to the existing road. The purpose of this evaluation is to analyze the velocity space (space mean speed) and the Vehicle Operating Cost comparison Ambarawa ring road and the existing road. The calculation of Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC) using the formula for the ring road Pacific Consultant International (PCI) and using the formula in the existing road curve Vehicle Speed. This is because the ring road are relatively few barriers while relatively many barriers existing road. So using a different method for determining vehicle operating costs. From the analysis of the average velocity (space mean speed) it can be seen that the travel time through the streets ring with a distance of 7.3 miles faster than the road with a distance of 6.5 km eksisiting this can be seen from the average velocity (space mean speed) vehicles both cars (58.52 km / h), buses (52.36 km / h) and a truck (47.67 km / h) faster past the ring road ring road vehicles as cars, buses and trucks are not a lot of experience travel barriers. The results of the comparison vehicle operating cost (VOC), obtained past the ring road Ambarawa cost more frugal when dibandingankan the existing road. Where the economic value of automobiles Rp 415.11 (3.09%); truck Rp 2321.46 (4.01%), and buses Rp 3383.27 (8.49%). This is because as the value of travel time on the ring road is more economical than the existing road, so it is recommended the diversion of heavy vehicles (class IIA and IIB) have to go through the roundabout Ambarawa so will reduce the volume of vehicles passing through the existing road also to be more economical in spending operational and can reduce travel time for goods brought more quickly to the destination
