2024-01-04T19:54:28+08:00

The productivity of local chickens can be improved through the enhancement of the rearing system, ranging from extensive to intensive management. This research aims to identify the production characteristics of native chickens reared semi-intensively in the Sepakat Jaya Livestock Group, Padang Laweh Village. Ten farmers who raise more than 20 local chickens were selected as respondents for this study. The research was conducted in the form of a survey, with the selection of the location, farmers as respondents, and the use of native chickens as research samples carried out through purposive sampling. The collected data, such as the age at first egg laying, the body weight of the hens at first egg laying, and the weight of the first egg, were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of this study indicate that the production characteristics of local chickens reared semi-intensively in the Sepakat Jaya, Padang Laweh, include age at first egg laying of approximately 178.7 days, a body weight of hens at first egg laying of around 1.46 kg per bird, and a weight of the first egg of about 49.1 grams per egg. This research concludes that semi-intensive rearing can improve the production characteristics of local chickens in the Sepakat Jaya, Padang Laweh.

Sirukam Dairy Farm Agrotourism Development Model in Solok Regency

2024-01-04T21:41:07+08:00

Basically, agrotourism is placing the primary sector (agricultural sector) in the tertiary sector (tourism sector) which aims to help increase farmers' income. Farmers and the agricultural sector will benefit from agrotourism activities. Agrotourism can maintain the sustainability of the agricultural sector and prevent the agricultural sector from being marginalized. There are many
reasons why tourists are interested in seeing the beauty of nature and carrying out various activities in the open air, including enjoying the beauty that agrotourism provides. A number of areas in Solok Regency are currently being developed as agrotourism areas, one of which is Sirukam Dary Farm, but this agrotourism management model is very different from the others. The diversity of agrotourism management models becomes material for study to develop agrotourism development models that apply in different conditions at these agrotourism objects. This article explains in detail the agrotourism development model at Sirukam Dairy Farm and it is hoped that it can be used for agrotourism management in other regions throughout Indonesia.

The Effect Used of Local Bioactivators In Citronella Waste on The Content of Dry Matter, Organic Matter, and Crude Protein

2024-01-04T21:21:22+08:00

This research aims to determine the effect of rumen-content bioactivators in citronella waste on dry matter, organic matter, and crude protein content. Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments with different incubation times, namely (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 days), each treatment was repeated three times. The variables observed in this study were dry matter content, organic matter, and crude protein. This study showed that the length fermentation of citronella waste with rumen content bioactivator had no significant effect (P>0.01) on dry matter. On organic matter and crude protein, fermentation of citronella waste using rumencontent bioactivators had a hight significant effect (P<0.01). Based on the research results, it can be concluded that fermenting citronella waste using a rumen content bioactivator at a dose of 10% with long incubation times (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 days) can increase the content of crude protein and organic material in curing for 20 days.

The Effect of Addition Red Passion Juice (Passiflora Edulis) on Fat Content, Protein Content, and Eastness of Mozzarella Cheese

2024-01-18T12:05:36+08:00

This research aimed to determine the effect of adding red passion fruit juice (Passiflora edulis) on fat content, protein content, and elongation of mozzarella cheese. This research used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments, namely giving red passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) (0%, 6%, 8%, and 10%) with 4 repetitions. The research results on the average fat content for each treatment were, P0 (15.97%), P1 (15.33%), P2 (13.25%), and P3 (12.69%). protein is P0 (21.70%), P1 (22.29%), P2 (23.24%), P3 (23.86%). The results of the research on the average elongation are, P0 (66.50cm), P1 ( 83.50cm), P2 (85.25cm), and P3 (91.25cm). Based on the research results it can be concluded that giving red passion fruit juice (Passiflora edulis) has a very significant effect (P<0.01) on fat content and protein content and was not significantly different (P>0.05) on the elongation of mozzarella cheese. The best treatment was found in the treatment without the addition of red passion fruit juice (Passiflora edulis) for protein and fat content while the best elongation was obtained in the treatment with the addition of 10% red passion fruit juice (Passiflora edulis).

Physiological Response of Broiler Chicken To Cage Temperature

2024-01-18T12:25:48+08:00

This study aims to study the physiological response shown by broiler chickens to cage temperatures at different times. A completely randomised design was used in this research, with three treatments and five replications of each. The treatments were the average temperature of the cage in the afternoon (30.15oC) , afternoon (27.04oC), and morning (26.01 °C). Each treatment was repeated six times, and each replication consisted of 5 chickens. The variables measured in this study are respiratory rate, heart rate, and rectal temperature in broiler chickens. If the results of the analysis of variance show that there is a significant difference between treatments, it is continued with the Duncan Multiple Range test. The results showed that the temperature of the cage during the day significantly increased the frequency of breathing of broiler chickens (74.90 times/minute), heart rate (279.50 times/minute), and rectal temperature (41.53 oC) compared to the frequency of breathing (57 times). ,27 times/minute and 55.77 times/minute), heart rate (274.07 times/minute and 272.47 times/minute), and rectal temperature (40.74oC and 40.61oC) In the afternoon and the morning, it can be concluded that the temperature of the cage during the day resulted in the frequency of breathing, heart rate and rectal temperature in broilers which were significantly higher than the temperature of the cell in the afternoon and morning, while the temperature of the cell in In the afternoon, the respiratory frequency, heart rate, and rectal temperature were not significantly higher than the cage temperature in the morning.
