Agricultural Waste Processing Technologies (Silage and Ammoniation) for Ruminant Feed in Drylands: Literature Review
No full textDryland regions commonly experience ruminant feed shortages during the dry season. The year‑round availability of high‑quality feed is a critical prerequisite for sustainable livestock development. Livestock productivity can be improved through the consistent provision of nutritionally adequate feed resources. This opportunity is supported by abundant agricultural production, particularly maize, which has not yet been optimally utilized for livestock feeding. However, most existing feed resources are characterized by low nutritional value and therefore cannot adequately support animal productivity without further processing. Agricultural residues such as rice straw and corn stover are available in large quantities but require technological intervention to improve their feeding value. Processing technologies based on silage and ammoniation have been widely reported to enhance nutrient availability and extend the storage life of these materials. This review synthesizes published research on the potential of agricultural residues as ruminant feed resources in dryland ecosystems and evaluates the effectiveness of silage and ammoniation technologies. The evidence indicates that both technologies substantially improve feed quality, increase feed availability during the dry season, and strengthen farmers’ capacity to utilize local resources in a sustainable livestock production system

Giblet Organs and Digestive Performance of Native Chickens in the Pullet Phase Fed Diets Supplemented with Propionic Acid
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine the effect of propionic acid levels in feed on the performance of giblet organs and digestive tracts of pullet-phase Native chickens. A total of 80 Native chickens aged 12 weeks with an average weight of 400 g were used in this study. The research design applied was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Chickens were randomly divided into four treatments with four replications, where each replication consisted of four Native chickens. The treatments given were T0: control feed without propionic acid; T1: control feed + 0.25% propionic acid; T2: control feed + 0.50% propionic acid; T3: control feed + 0.75% propionic acid. Data analysis was conducted using ANOVA, followed by the Duncan Test to determine differences between treatments. The results showed that live weight, giblet weight, pancreas weight, intestine weight, intestine length, proventriculus weight, were highest in the T3 control feed + 0.75% propionic acid treatment, respectively, at 1622.36±38.24 g/head; 59.23±0.39 g/head; 3.54±0.04 g/head; 27.24±0.57 g/head; 27.24±0.57 g/head; 129.33±0.68 cm/head; 6.04±0.18 g/head. The highest giblet percentage and proventriculus percentage were in the T0 control feed treatment without propionic acid at 3.74±0.12%/head and 0.38±0.01%/head, respectively. The highest percentage of pancreas weight was in the T2 treatment of control feed + 0.50% propionic acid and the T3 treatment of control feed + 0.75% propionic acid, which was 0.22 ± 0.01%/head. The highest percentage of intestine weight was obtained in the T2 treatment (control feed + 0.50% propionic acid) with a value of 1.71 ± 0.03%/head. Analysis of variance showed that the treatment significantly affected the live weight, giblet organ weight, pancreas weight, percentage of pancreas weight, small intestine weight, intestine length, and proventriculus weight of pullet phase Native chickens (P <0.05). It can be concluded that the addition of 0.75% propionic acid to the control feed had a positive effect on the performance of the giblet organ and digestive tract of Native chickens
Student’s Mathematical Problem Solving Skills and Self-Efficacy on Word Problems through Technology-Based Learning
No full textStudents’ ability to solve mathematical word problems is closely linked to their mathematical problem-solving skills and self-efficacy. This study examines the influence of two technology-based learning approaches—synchronous learning (via Zoom and Google Meet) and asynchronous learning (via WhatsApp)—on students\u27 problem-solving performance and self-efficacy levels. The research involved 27 seventh-grade students in Bandung and employed a mixed-method design with an explanatory sequential approach. The findings revealed a strong relationship between the type of technology-mediated learning and students’ self-efficacy in mathematical problem solving. Students who engaged in synchronous learning demonstrated better performance in interpreting problems, developing strategies, and justifying solutions compared to those who used asynchronous methods. Learners with moderate to high self- efficacy consistently outperformed those with low self-efficacy, particularly in identifying relevant information, making conjectures, and generalizing patterns. In contrast, students with low self-efficacy showed difficulties in solving word problems and exhibited limited use of key processes in problem solving. These results emphasize the importance of aligning instructional approaches with students\u27 self-efficacy levels and providing structured support for students involved in asynchronous learning to strengthen their mathematical problem-solving abilities
Students\u27 Error in Writing Descriptive Text Viewed from Surface Strategy Taxonomy
No full textThis study aimed to identify and explain the types of errors as well as to investigate the underlying causes of errors in writing descriptive texts among students of English Education Study Program at Universitas Palangka Raya. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method, the researcher described factual findings and aspects related to students’ errors in composing descriptive texts. The participants consisted of 30 second semester students from class C of intermediate English writing course. This study conducted an essay test to collect students’ writing in processing data. The results of students’ writing were then classified into types of errors based on the surface strategy taxonomy by Dulay, Burt and Krashen (1982). Furthermore, the researcher interviewed 5 students with more error categories than others to find out the causes of errors made by students. The results showed that students still made many errors in writing descriptive texts. There are 128 total errors found in the use of grammar in writing descriptive texts. The errors are: (1) omission which is 33 errors. (2) addition which is 23 errors. (3) misformation, 72 errors. The researcher did not find misordering errors in the students’ descriptive text writing. And based on interviews from 5 students, the cause of this error was lack of vocabulary size, time limitation, lack of comprehension, lack of confidence
Commognitive Conflict: How do Critical Thinkers Solve Cognitive Conflict Problems in Geometry?
No full textThere has been no research exploring cognitive conflict problems in geometry from commognitive framework. Nevertheless, this framework offers strong potential for gaining new theory about cognitive processes of critical thinkers. This study addresses this gap by exploring in depth how critical thinkers solve cognitive conflict problems in geometry from commognitive framework. Commognitive involves four main components: word use, visual mediators, routines, and narratives. This study employed a qualitative approach to explore the cognitive processes in depth. The instrument used in this study consisted of cognitive conflict problems in geometry designed for junior high school students. The subjects of this study consisted of 17 students from the mathematics olympiad group at Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) Surya Buana Malang, Indonesia. The results revealed two categories: Category A met all critical thinking components and commognitive indicators, whereas Category B met only some. The commognitive conflicts highlighted key moments of cognitive engagement and discourse transformation. These conflicts activated critical thinking components, including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. Based on the result, it is recommended that future research explore the development of mathematics instructional designs in cognitive conflict problems based on commognitive framework
