Penerapan Penggunaan Daun Kelor Dalam Sistem Pakan Basah (Liquid Feeding) Untuk Meningkatkan Kesehatan Dan Produksi Ternak Babi

ABSTRACT A community service has been carried out in Baumata Timur Village, Taebenu District, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). The problem faced is the low level of knowledge and technology in the health management of pigs so that it is found that many of their pigs have died (> 40%) of which no one has used local ingredients such as Moringa leaves as a supplement in their pig feed. Low production and high mortality in pigs are caused by factors of nutritional deficiencies and an unhealthy environment, so that quality feed ingredients are needed, have economic value, and maintain the cleanliness of environmental livestock. The solutions offered and implemented are improvement of feed management and health of pigs including: a) Preparation procedures, quality feed ingredients from Moringa leaves; b). mixing liquid feeds; c) Procedures for managing livestock and environmental health. The methods used are: counseling and management practices of feed and health of pigs. The results of extension activities and practice of making economical feed, techniques for making quality liquid feed and management of pig health management can be carried out properly. It can be concluded that knowledge about feed management and pig health for farmer farmer communities in Manefu and Neketuka hamlet, East Baumata village increases in pig raising.   ABSTRAK Suatu pengabdian kepada masyarakat telah dilaksanakan di Desa Baumata Timur, Kecamatan Taebenu, Kabupaten Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT).  Masalah yang dihadapi, adalah rendahnya pengetahuan dan teknologi dalam pengelolaan kesehatan ternak babi sehingga dijumpai banyak ternak babi mereka mengalami kematian (>40%) dari belum ada yang memanfaatkan bahan lokal seperti daun kelor sebagai suplemen dalam pakan babinya. Produksi yang rendah dan kematian yang tinggi pada ternak babi disebabkan factor kekurangan nutrisi dan lingkungan yang tidak sehat, sehingga    dibutuhkan bahan pakan yang berkualitas, bernilai ekonomis, dan menjaga kebersihan ternak lingkungan.  Solusi yang ditawarkan dan diterapkan adalah perbaikan manajemen pakan dan kesehatan ternak babi meliputi : a) Tata cara penyiapan, bahan pakan berkualitas dari daun kelor; b). mencampur liquid feed  ; c) Tata cara pengelolaan kesehatan ternak dan lingkungan.  Metode yang digunakan adalah: penyuluhan dan praktek manajemen pakan dan kesehatan ternak babi. Hasill kegiatan penyuluhan dan praktek membuat pakan ekonomis, teknik membuat liquid feed berkualitas dan manajemen pengelolaan kesehatan babi dapat terlaksana dengan baik.  Dapat disimpulkan pengetahuan tentang manajemen pakan dan kesehatan ternak babi bagi masyarakat petani peternak di kelompok masyarakat Dusun Manefu dan Neketuka Desa Baumata Timur meningkat dalam pemeliharaan ternak babi

Ternak percobaan yang digunakan dalam penelitian terdiri dari 12 ekor induk babi bunting dengan bobot badan antara 121-125 kg (rata-rata 122,5 kg dan berkoefisien variasi 1,46%). Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah metode eksperimen menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Adapun perlakuan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu R0 = pemberian air minum tanpa larutan ekstrak daun katuk, R1 = 60 gram ekstrak daun katuk dalam 5 ml EM-4/1 liter air minum, R2 = pemberian 120 gram ekstrak daun katuk dalam 5 ml EM-4/1 liter air minum, dan R3 = pemberian 180 gram ekstrak daun katuk dalam 5 ml EM-4/1 liter air minum. Variabel yang diteliti adalah konsumsi serta kecernaan bahan kering dan bahan organik. Hasil sidik ragam menunjukkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak daun katuk berpengaruh tidak nyata (P>0,05) terhadap konsumsi bahan kering dan bahan organik ransum, tetapi meningkatkan kecernaan bahan kering dan bahan organik dengan sangat nyata (P<0,01). Kesimpulan hasil penelitian ini adalah pemberian ekstrak daun katuk segar sebanyak 120-180 gram dapat meningkatkan kecernaan bahan kering dan kecernaan bahan organik induk babi bunting

Sexual and asexual oogenesis require the expression of unique and shared sets of genes in the insect Acyrthosiphon pisum

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Although sexual reproduction is dominant within eukaryotes, asexual reproduction is widespread and has evolved independently as a derived trait in almost all major taxa. How asexuality evolved in sexual organisms is unclear. Aphids, such as <it>Acyrthosiphon pisum</it>, alternate between asexual and sexual reproductive means, as the production of parthenogenetic viviparous females or sexual oviparous females and males varies in response to seasonal photoperiodism. Consequently, sexual and asexual development in aphids can be analyzed simultaneously in genetically identical individuals.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We compared the transcriptomes of aphid embryos in the stages of development during which the trajectory of oogenesis is determined for producing sexual or asexual gametes. This study design aimed at identifying genes involved in the onset of the divergent mechanisms that result in the sexual or asexual phenotype. We detected 33 genes that were differentially transcribed in sexual and asexual embryos. Functional annotation by gene ontology (GO) showed a biological signature of oogenesis, cell cycle regulation, epigenetic regulation and RNA maturation. <it>In situ </it>hybridizations demonstrated that 16 of the differentially-transcribed genes were specifically expressed in germ cells and/or oocytes of asexual and/or sexual ovaries, and therefore may contribute to aphid oogenesis. We categorized these 16 genes by their transcription patterns in the two types of ovaries; they were: i) expressed during sexual and asexual oogenesis; ii) expressed during sexual and asexual oogenesis but with different localizations; or iii) expressed only during sexual or asexual oogenesis.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Our results show that asexual and sexual oogenesis in aphids share common genetic programs but diverge by adapting specificities in their respective gene expression profiles in germ cells and oocytes.</p

From academinc difficulty to academic well-being: An innovative pathway organized and led by the chief education adviser

Dès l'entrée au collège, un certain nombre d'élèves présentent des difficultés scolaires affectant leur estime de soi et leur bien-être, et nécessitent d'être accompagnés par les enseignants et le service vie scolaire de l'établissement. En lien avec la mission de gestion et suivi des élèves incombant au conseiller principal d'éducation (CPE), nous présentons ici un parcours innovant élaboré par deux CPE d'un collège des Pyrénées-Atlantiques (64). Ce parcours vise à poser un regard sur les difficultés pédagogiques et comportementales de l'élève. Il est composé de trois dispositifs : l'observation, l'accompagnement et le suivi de l'élève. Contextualisés et outillés, ces dispositifs novateurs prodiguent des données factuelles permettant au CPE d'échanger avec la famille et l'équipe pédagogique sur des perspectives de prise en charge de l'élève. Construit sur la base des connaissances actuelles du développement psychologique et cognitif de l'adolescent, ce parcours s'inscrit dans une logique de bien-être scolaire.When they enter middle school, some students tend to show school difficulties affecting their self-esteem and well-being. These students require support from their teachers and school office (led by the chief education adviser) to overcome their difficulties. Here, we present an innovative pathway developed by two chief education advisers of a French middle school that aims at fulfilling one of the missions of the chief education adviser: managing and monitoring the students of the school. This pathway gives to the educational team an overview of the pedagogical and behavioral difficulties of the student. It is composed of three packages: student observation, student support and student follow-up. Contextualized and equipped, these innovative packages provide factual data for the chief education adviser to discuss with the student family and the teaching team on prospects for care. Built based on current knowledge about adolescent psychological and cognitive development, this pathway is part of the logic of school well-being

Gene knockdown by RNAi in the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful method to inhibit gene expression in a sequence specific manner.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Here, we described the development of RNAi by micro-injection of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) in the pea aphid <it>Acyrthosiphon pisum</it>. Injection of dsRNA into whole aphid body induced the silencing of two marker genes with different expression patterns: the ubiquitously expressed <it>Ap-crt </it>genes encoding a calreticulin and the gut specific <it>Ap-cath-L </it>gene encoding a cathepsin-L. Time-course analysis of the silencing showed similar temporal patterns for both genes: inhibition started at 1 day after injection, reached its maximum at 5 days and stopped at 7 days. A comparable 40% decrease of gene expression was observed for <it>Ap-crt </it>and <it>Ap-cath-L</it>.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The pea aphid is the first Hemipteran insect for which genome sequence will be available soon. The gene knockdown technique developed in this study will be an essential post-genomic tool for further investigations in aphidology.</p

Why is it needed to develop system biology initiatives such as ENCODE on non-model organisms

Contrasting attentional biases in a saccadic choice task

To gain insight into how human observers select items in the visual field we pitted two attentional biases against one another in a single free choice design. The first bias is the nasal-temporal asymmetry during free choice tasks, where observers tend to choose targets that appear in their temporal hemifield over targets appearing in their nasal hemifield. The second is the choice bias found in studies of attentional priming. When observers have to select between a stimulus that shares features with a preceding target and a stimulus sharing features with previous distractors, they have a strong tendency to choose the preceding search target and this bias increases the more often the same search is repeated. Our results show that both biases affect saccadic choice, but they also show that the nasal-temporal bias can modulate the strength of the priming effects, but not vice versa. The priming effect was stronger for stimuli appearing in the temporal than in the nasal hemifield, but the nasal-temporal bias was similar for primed and unprimed targets. Additionally, our findings are the first to show how search repetition leads to faster saccades. The observed difference between the effects of the NTA and priming biases may reflect the difference in neural mechanisms thought to be behind these biases and that biases at lower levels may outrank higher-level biases, at least in their effect on visual attention

PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN TEPUNG BONGGOL PISANG TERFERMENTASI DALAM RANSUM TERHADAP KECERNAAN BAHAN KERING DAN BAHAN ORGANIKTERNAK BABI

Aims of this experiment were to know the effect adding fermented banana corm flour in basal ratio on feed intake, digestibility of dry and organic matter in pigs. There were 12 starter (6 weeks of age) Landrace crossbred pigs with 12-21 kg (CV 25.69%) initial body weight used in the trial. Randomized block design with 4 treatments and 3 blocks was used in the trial. The 4 treatment diets offered were formulated as: R0 (basal feed without fermented banana corm); R1 (feed with 7%fermented banana corm); R2 (feed with 14% fermented banana corm); and R3 (feed with 21% fermented banana corm). Variable studied in the study wereintake and digestibility of both dry matter and organic matter. The result showed that effect of treatment was not affected (P&gt;0,05) on either dry matter or organic matter digestibility.The conclusion is that including 0%-21% into basal feed performed the similar results in both dry matter and organic matter digestibility.
