Analysis of Economic Pressure, Coping Strategies, Social Support and Family Resilience in Sandwich Families in Bogor City
Full text linkThe sandwich family structure refers to individuals who are responsible for supporting both elderly parents and children simultaneously. This dual responsibility can create significant pressure and impact family resilience. This study aims to analyse family characteristics, economic pressures, coping strategies, social support, and the relationships between these variables and their influence on family resilience. This study uses a cross-sectional study design with a sample of 120 wives from complete families who live with elderly parents. Data collection was carried out in March-May 2023 in Bogor City using a questionnaire and processed using SPSS and SEM PLS. The results showed that the husband and wife were in the early adult group with an average junior high school education level and more than half of the per capita income were categorized as poor. The average economic pressure, coping strategies and social support are in the low category, while family resilience is in the moderate category. Husband and wife education and per capita income have a significant positive relationship with family resilience. Economic pressure has a significant negative direct effect on family resilience, while coping strategies and social support have a significant positive direct effect on family resilience.

Inovasi Produk Sosis Kelinci sebagai Hilirisasi Usaha bagi Kelompok Ternak Kelinci Aza Akmal Rabbit Farm di Kabupaten Kendal
Full text linkRabbits are easily adaptable and reproduce quickly, providing benefits to breeders. Kendal Regency is one of the areas in Central Java Province that has potential in the field of rabbit farming. One of the rabbit farming groups in Kendal Regency is the Aza Akmal Rabbit Farm, which develops New Zealand rabbits. The high number of rabbits is inversely proportional to the low market demand; thus, the marketing of rabbit meat is still limited to frozen carcasses. This is influenced by the lack of knowledge of breeders regarding the processing and marketing of rabbit meat products. The purpose of the community service activity was to provide education related to the importance of product innovation and how to process rabbit sausages to increase community income. The method used was direct skills training, and the level of preference was evaluated using a hedonic test on 25 panelists. The results of the activity were in the form of a brownish-white rabbit sausage product, with a distinctive aroma and taste of rabbit sausage, and a compact and chewy texture. The results of the hedonic test of the color parameters were quite liked, aroma liked, texture liked, taste liked, and overall liked. In conclusion, community service activities can add new knowledge related to processing rabbit sausages. The hedonic test results showed that the panelists liked the rabbit sausages, indicating their potential for development to improve the community\u27s economy.Rabbits are easily adaptable and reproduce quickly, providing benefits to breeders.

Performance of Kalung Cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) Fed with a Combination of Concentrate and Cassava Leaves
Full text linkCrickets are a promising alternative source of animal protein due to their high levels of amino acids, fatty acids, and protein (61.58%). These nutrients have applications in the pharmaceutical industry, human food, bird feed, and as a substitute for livestock feed, particularly in the form of cricket flour. The Kalung cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus) is notable for its rapid growth rate and efficient feed conversion. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of diets combining concentrate with cassava leaves of different maturities on the performance of Kalung crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus). A completely randomized design (CRD) was employed, consisting of three treatments with five replications each. The treatments were R1= concentrate+young cassava leaves, R2= concentrate+mature cassava leaves, R3= concentrate+cassava leaf stems, with a combination ratio of 1:1.5. The parameters observed include feed consumption, body weight gain, egg production, feed conversion, mortality, and income over feed cost (IOFC). The results showed that no significant differences among treatments in feed intake, weight gain, and mortality. However, significant differences were observed in egg production (0.022±0.011 g/individu/day) and feed conversion (1,88±0.95) with the R1 treatment showing the most favorable results. A diet combining concentrate with young cassava leaves significantly improves the reproductive performance and feed efficiency of Kalung crickets. This combination is recommended for enhancing productivity in Gryllus bimaculatus farming systems
