Dinoyo's Ceramic Mascot As a Support of Brand Identity

The design of the Dinoyo Ceramic Village Mascot was carried out as a marketing initiative to support the promotion of ceramic products. Dinoyo Ceramics was a leading player within the Malang City’s creative industries. Over time, however, ceramics activities stagnated and finally the factory closed. The closure of the factory caused the loss of many livelihoods, and now there are attempts to use creative branding strategies to increase the productivity and promotion of Dinoyo ceramics. The strategy adopted was to use a mascot a communicator. The design method refers to Alina Wheeler’s Branding Design Identity, which determines the steps that must be followed to produce a product. The study began by conducting research and describing the vision, strategy, targets and values in Dinoyo Ceramic Village as a ceramic industry tourist destination in Malang. The second step is to explain the strategy and ensure it fit the brand identity needs of Dinoyo Ceramic Village. The third stage is designing the mascot identity. The fourth step is determining a focus by finalizing the design of identity design. The fifth stage is managing assets.

The Effect of Addition of Fermented Oil Palm Fronds Extract on Rumen Fermentation and Blood Metabolites of Kacang Goat

This research aims to determine the effect of the addition of Fermented Oil Palm Fronds (FOPFE) on rumen fermentation and blood metabolites of Kacang goat. The fronds of palm oil were fermented for 21 days with the addition of 10% poultry manure, then extracted with methanol solvent. This study used 12 male Kacang goats aged >1 year that were placed in metabolic cages which were equipped with feedbox and water drinker. The study used a random group design, with 4 treatment groups namely P0=complete ration+ 0% FOPFE; P1=complete ration + 0.1% FOPFE; P2=complete ration + 0.2% FOPFE; P3= complete ration + 0.3% FOPFE. The measured variables were rumen fermentation indicators (pH, total VFA and ammonia (NH3 )) and blood structural and metabolic components (erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, cholesterol, urea and blood glucose). The results showed that FOPFE had no significant effect (P>0.05) on rumen fermentation and blood profile except blood cholesterol level that was significant�ly (P<0.01) reduced in P2 group. The administration of 0.2% FOPFE can reduce blood cholesterol levels and maintain rumen fermentation and blood metabolites of Kacang goat.
