Characteristics & cutability of farmed rusa deer (Cervus timorensis) carcasses for marketing of vension.

Rusa deer are the only viable commercial tropical deer species for farming in the tropics because of their hardiness, adaptability and prolific characteristics. Twelve entirely rusa stags were slaughtered according to halal procedure and were used for carcass evaluation and cutability studies. Three carcass categories; large (46 to 55 kg), medium (36 to 45 kg) and small (25 to 35 kg) were developed for rusa stags. This study indicated that entire Moluccan rusa deer stags with mean live weight ranging from 50 to 80 kg and age groups of 15 to 29 months showed dressing percentage of 58 to 62%. Carcass conformation of rusa stags showed significantly (p<0.05) higher forequarters portion than hindquarters for medium (mean weight, 40.8 kg) and large (mean weight, 50.0 kg) carcass categories. The large carcass category was significantly (p<0.05) bigger in hindquarters portion (47.3% vs. 45.4%) than the medium carcass category. This study showed that medium and large carcass categories are more suitable for boneless cuts since the muscles were larger than small carcasses which makes them easy for deboning. Stag carcasses showed higher proportion of the musculature in the high-priced areas of the carcass such as in round cuts. Bone-in cuts are more suitable for small carcasses since the muscles were smaller and difficult to debone (mean weight, 30.5 kg). About 90% of total deer carcasses in the small carcass category were developed into retail bone-in cuts (excluding 9.9% of breast, shank and trimming). The carcass characteristics and cutability information derived from this study can be used as a basis for a venison marketing strategy for deer farming and production in the tropics

Browsing preference and ecological carrying capacity of sambar deer (Cervus unicolor brookei) on secondary vegetation in forest plantation

The browsing preference and ecological carrying capacity (ECC) of sambar deer (Cervus unicolor brookei) in acacia plantations for management and conservation of the ecosystem were investigated at Sabal Forest Reserve in Sarawak, Malaysia. The identification of the species browsed by the sambar deer was based on an observation of the plant parts consumed. ECC estimation was based on body weight (BW) and the physiological stages of animals browsed in six fenced 4-ha paddocks. Sambar deer were found foraging on only 29 out of 42 species of secondary vegetation in the acacia plantation. The remaining species are too high for the deer to reach. Planted species, Shorea macrophylla are not palatable to the deer. This augurs well for the integration of sambar deer into shorea plantations. The most frequently exploited plants were Ficus spp. Sambar deer preferred woody species more than non-woody species and they are browser animals. By producing metabolizable energy of 19 000 to 27 000 MJ/ha, the ECC was five head/ha to 5.25 head/ha. Given its contribution to the conservation of wildlife and its capacity to sustain the ecosystem, the sambar deer integrated farming system offers a promising strategy for the future of tropical forestry management

All teachers (100%) have developed a HOTS-based portfolio learning design by considering the characteristics of subjects and student development. After attending the training, partner teachers felt the importance of this training. As a follow-up, through the MGMP, the teacher states that they will implement the training results in each learning activity

Mewujudkan Pembelajaran yang Inovatif di Madrasah melalui Pelatihan Portofolio Berbasis HOTS

Madrasah is an Islamic religious education unit under the auspices of the Ministry of Religion. In Kota Mataram, Provinsi NTB, there are two types of madrasas: public and private. Based on the interviews with PPKn teachers at the madrasah, there was anxiety about PPKn teachers carrying out learning. The reason is that students are less interested in participating in the learning, considering the implementation of education, which tends to be monotonous and based on low-level thinking skills (LOTS). PPKn teachers have realized this but have not made many innovations due to limited knowledge and experience in developing innovative learning. Based on this, the purpose of this community service is to realize innovative PPKn learning in madrasas through HOTS-based portfolio learning training. The method used is guided training and mentoring. The implementation stages of the method include preparation, training, and guided assistance. The results show that there has been an increase in participants' cognitive abilities regarding HOTS-based learning after attending the training. In addition, participants have been able to develop innovative PPKn learning designs, which include a HOTS-based portfolio approach

Sustainability of tropical animal-agricultural production systems: integration of dynamic complex systems

Animal agriculture will remain critically important despite its declining relative contribution to the national economy. Demand form animal products will increase with better economic status of most developing countries. However as input sources of land, feed resources and labor become increasingly scarce for animal-agricultural production, new technologies will be required to improve the efficiency of the production systems. A more sustainable agriculture would be in tune with the local resource base, make maximum use of internal production inputs, and have potential for sustained production and bring benefit into the future. The new millennium approach for animal-agricultural production systems in most of tropical or developing countries in the world must be based on an integrated approach. Systems analysis is the methodology to be used to evaluate and plan for the future development of integrated productions systems. This methodology applies a holistic approach and considers multi-disciplines and multi-components in complex agricultural production system

Substitution of Anchovy Waste Flour for Fish Meal as Conventional Feed on Quail Performance (Coturnix-coturnix japonica)

Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) is one of the leading poultry that has a pretty good role and prospect as an egg producer and as a meat producer. The most important factor in the maintenance of quail is feed, because 80% of the costs incurred by farmers for the purchase of feed. Attempts to rotate waste is to utilize anchovy Waste enough to be used as a substitution of fish meal in the manufacture of artificial feed quail. Anchovy waste in artificial feed is expected to reduce the use of fish meal in quail feed.
