Influence of Dietary Black Cumin Meal (Nigella sativa L.) on the Performance and Body Measurements of Garut Sheep
Full text linkBlack cumin meal has potential as feed ingredient of sheep. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of dietary black cumin meal on the performance and body measurements of Garut sheep. The study used 28 heads of male Garut sheep aged ±10 months with an average initial body weight of 20 ± 2.34 kg/head. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used to compare the influence of 4 different levels (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of black cumin meal in the diet on dry matter intake (DMI, g/head/d), average daily gain (ADG, g/head/d), feed efficiency (%), body length gain (cm), chest circumference gain (cm), and height at withers gain (cm) during 70 d feeding trial using 7 replicates. The data were statistically analyzed using a One-Way Analysis of Variance and continued with Duncan new Multiple Range Test for significant results, operated by the IBM SPSS 26 program. The results showed that DMI (P<0.05), ADG (P<0.01), and feed efficiency (P<0.05) of Garut sheep were increased for a diet containing black cumin meal compared with control. Furthermore, dietary black cumin meal enhanced body length gain (P<0.05), followed by chest circumference gain, and height at withers gain (P<0.01). Dietary black cumin meal 10% is the optimum level to increase the performance and body measurements. In conclusion, dietary black cumin meal improves the performance and body measurements of Garut sheep.
Effects of Dietary Inclusion of Angelica gigas Nakai root extract on the Growth Performance, Hematological and Serum Biochemical Parameters in Broilers
Full text linkThe study aimed to evaluate the impact of dietary supplementation with Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN) root extract on growth performance, hematological indices, and serum biochemical parameters in broiler chickens. A total of 320 straight-run Cobb broiler chicks from a commercial hatchery were distributed among four treatment groups: Basal diet (BD) as the Control; Treatment 1 (T1): BD + 2 g/kg AGN; Treatment 2 (T2): BD + 4 g/kg AGN; and Treatment 3 (T3): BD + 8 g/kg AGN), each comprising eight replicates with 10 birds per replicate. The supplementation of AGN resulted in dose-dependent improvements (P < 0.05) in body weight, gain, and feed efficiency. On both day 21 and day 35, increasing AGN dosage in the diet led to a significantly higher (P < 0.05) values of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), hemoglobin (Hb), and packed cell volume (PCV). By day 21, AGN supplementation dose-dependently decreased (P < 0.05) serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aspartate aminotransaminase (AST), alanine aminotransaminase (ALT), urea, and creatinine levels. Meanwhile, AGN dose escalation correlated with a notable increase (P < 0.05) in serum total protein (TP), albumin, and globulin levels. On day 35, increasing AGN levels led to a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in serum AST and ALT activity, along with lowered serum glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, and creatinine levels. In conclusion, AGN supplementation enhanced growth performance and positively influenced hematological indices and serum biochemistry profiles in broiler chickens. The study confirms the safe and effective utilization of AGN at an 8 g/kg (0.8 %) feed additive dosage to optimize broiler performance. These findings provide valuable insights into the potential benefits of AGN in poultry nutrition
Evaluating the Use of Marlin Fish (Istiompax indica) By-product Meal in the Ration on Carcass and Organ Yields of Broiler Chickens
Full text linkThis study aimed to examine the effect of marlin fish (Istiompax indica) byproduct meal (MFBM) mixed with some other feed ingredients such as yellow corn (YC), rice bran (RB), broken rice (BR), and top mix (TM) as a mixture feed (MF) in replacement fractionally a commercial ration (CR) on carcasses and organs of broiler chickens. As a comparison, commercial local fish meal (CLFM) was used instead of MFBM in the MF. A total of 100 DOCs, strain MB 202, were raised for 35 days of age to feed the experimental rations. The experimental rations were: CR= 100% CP511/512 (control), MFBM4= 80% CP511/512 + 20% MF1 containing 4% MFBM, MFBM8= 80% CP511/512 + 20% MF2 containing 8% MFBM, CLFM4= 80% CP511/512 + 20% MF3 containing 4% CLFM, and CLFM8= 80% CP511/512 + 20% MF4 containing 8% CLFM. The research used a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments, four replications, and two subsamples. Data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and continued by Duncan’s multiple range taste (DMRT) only if the results detected a significant difference. This study showed that at 4% usage within the MF, using MFBM did not indicate a significant difference in the whole carcass and cuts-up weights than using CLFM. However, at the level of 8% within an MF, the former was significantly higher (p<0.05) on the whole carcass and breast weight than the latter. In conclusion, marlin fish byproduct meal (MFBM) could be used up to 8% to produce better whole carcass and breast weight compared to commercial local fish meal (CLFM) without adverse effects on the internal organs of broilers
Different Flushing Frequency on Blood Metabolites Profile of Ewes and Their Lambs at Pre-Weaning Period
Full text linkThis study determined the effects of different flushing frequency on performance and blood metabolite profile of ewes and their suckling lambs at pre-weaning period. Twelve multiparous Garut ewes (2 years-old, BW 30.06 ± 6.20 kg) and 18 lambs born to experimental ewes (lambing weight 2.49 ± 0.56 kg) were used in this study. Ewes were randomly assigned into four treatment groups in a complete block design, namely: without flushing (T0: control), flushing at the beginning of mating (T1: 2 weeks before and after mating), two times flushing (T2: T1 + 4 weeks flushing at mid-gestation), and three times flushing (T3: T2 + 2 weeks flushing at before and after parturition). Three times flushing increased ((p0.05) dry matter intake and intakes of crude protein, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract, and total digestible nutrients of ewes at the pre-weaning period. Different flushing frequencies did not change (p>0.05) the productive performances of ewes during the pre-weaning period. Flushing application improved (p<0.05) the average daily gain of pre-weaning lambs at 14 days, but it did not affect the weaning weight of lambs. Two times flushing showed no pre-weaning mortality rate (p<0.05). Flushing application tended to decrease (p=0.08) blood plasma triglyceride of ewes at 21- days, while two times flushing frequency tended to increase blood plasma cholesterol (p=0.05) and triglyceride (p=0.08) of lambs at 21 days. In conclusion, increased flushing frequency supports ewes and their twin lamb growth performance and blood metabolite profile at the pre-weaning perio
Polymorphism of Cyt-b Gene in Several Indonesian Cattle Using PCR-RFLP Method
Full text linkThe cytochrome b (Cyt-b) gene is one of the genes that is located in the mitochondrial DNA. Variations in the Cyt-b gene can be used to compare different animal species to investigate the origin of certain animal species. This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity of Indonesian local cattle breeds, including Bali cattle as an Indonesian native cattle breed and Banteng as the wild type of Bali cattle, using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). A total of 336 individual DNA samples from Indonesian cattle breeds were analyzed in this study. The RFLP method using three restriction enzymes, i.e., HinfI, HaeIII, or XbaI, was used to identify the variation of the Cyt-b gene. The Cyt-b gene was polymorphic based on the PCR-RFLP method. There were six alleles of the Cyt-b gene found in this study, i.e., A and B allele (HinfI), C and D allele (HaeIII), X and Y allele (XbaI). All alleles can be found in Pasundan, Madura, and PO cattle. Pesisir cattle have the highest allele frequency D. The UPGMA results showed three clusters of Indonesian native cattle in this study. Cluster 1 consists of Pasundan, Banteng, and Bali cattle. Cluster 2 consists of Madura, PO, and SO cattle. Pesisir was separated from other cattle in cluster 3. The X allele could become an indicator to distinguish Banteng and Bali cattle
Improved Antioxidant Activity of Low-Fat Herb-Fortified Cottage Cheese
Full text linkThis study aimed to evaluate the properties of low-fat cottage cheese with the addition of herbs. We conducted an experiment with nine treatments, namely P1: whole-milk cottage cheese; P2: low-fat cottage cheese; P3: low-fat cottage cheese + 20% bidara leaf extract; P4: low-fat cottage cheese + 20% bay leaf extract; P5: low-fat cottage cheese + 20% moringa oleifera leaf extract; P6: Low-fat cottage cheese + 10% bidara leaf extract + 10% bay leaf extract; P7: low-fat cottage cheese + 10% bidara leaf extract + 10% moringa oleifera leaf extract; P8: low-fat cottage cheese + 10% bay leaf extract + 10% moringa oleifera leaf extract; and P9: low-fat cottage cheese + 6.67% bidara leaf extract + 6.67% bay leaf extract + 6.67% moringa oleifera leaf extract. The microbial profile of cheese showed that the total LAB count was retained at 6.23-7.25 log CFU/g. While herb-fortified cottage cheese contained a significantly higher level of antioxidants, the lowest cholesterol level was observed in cottage cheese fortified with 20% bidara leaf extract. The general fatty acids in cheese without herb addition were saturated fatty acids (51.94%) and unsaturated fatty acids (15.67%), with palmitic acid being the most predominant fatty acid (36.62%). In conclusion, herbs can improve antioxidant levels and retain total fatty acid in low-fat cottage cheese
Fatty Acid Profiling of Bali and Wagyu Cattle using Principal Component Analysis
Full text linkThis study aimed to compare the fatty acid profiles of Bali cattle and Wagyu cattle. A total of 50 beef was used in this study, consisting of 44 Bali cattle from Kupang, NTT, and 6 samples of Wagyu cattle from supermarkets. The fatty acid profiles identified are saturated and unsaturated (MUFA and PUFA). The fatty acid analysis used is the Gas Chromatography (GC) method. Descriptive analysis was used to examine data on the fatty acid profile, and T-test analyzed fatty acid composition differences between Bali and Wagyu beef. Differences in fatty acid compositions have been reported based on breeds. The Bali beef had significantly (p0.05). The principal component analysis (PCA) results showed that the first principal component was UFA, MUFA: SFA ratio, oleic acid, omega-9, MUFA, and palmitic acid. In contrast, the second principal component was myristoleic acid, linolenic acid, omega-3, PUFA: SFA ratio, PUFA, omega-6, linoleic acid, stearic acid, SFA, and palmitoleic acid. The study's findings revealed that Bali beef had a much more saturated fatty acid composition of Bali beef was higher than Wagyu beef. This result suggests that Wagyu cattle have a more favorable fatty acid profile, which benefits health
Technological Acceptance of Cattle Farmers in Mobile Applications for Livestock Digital Marketing
Full text linkThe farmers have encountered challenges in conducting livestock trade due to the absence of dealer activity caused by Anthrax and Foot Mouth Disease (FMD) epidemics. In this context, it is crucial to utilize technology in livestock marketing to obtain current market information from distant marketplaces and reduce the risk of contagion. To meet these purposes, a mobile phone application has been developed in order to be used by cattle farmers; after that, market testing has been conducted to gain feedback and determine the segmentation. Thus, the study aimed to examine the differences in the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and social impact amongst farmers who are willing and unwilling to embrace a mobile phone application for digital marketing. A total of 968 cattle farmers were surveyed with stratified random sampling techniques in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The data obtained were analyzed using mean difference inferential analysis. The result showed that farmers with various categories of age, education, farm revenue, farmers group, farmer experience, cattle ownership, and regions have significantly different (p<0.01) perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PE), and social influence (SI) on mobile applications for livestock digital marketing. Furthermore, farmers willing to adopt mobile application have significantly higher (p<0.01) PU, PE, and SI factors. This study recommends mobile app developers evaluate potential user needs and background factors that may influence farmers' interest

The objective of this study was to evaluate the supplementation of Sakura Block Plus in palm frond feed on the nutrient digestibility of beef cattle. The research design employed a Latin Square Design (LSD) with treatments P0 (10% Sakura Block Plus), P1 (8% Sakura Block Plus), P2 (10% Sakura Block Plus), and P3 (12% Sakura Block Plus). Four male beef cattle, 18 months old, weighing approximately ± 110 kg, were utilized throughout four treatment periods, each lasting 15 days. The results of the study indicated a significant improvement in the 12% Sakura Block Plus treatment concerning the digestibility of Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), and hemicellulose. In conclusion, the supplementation of Sakura Block Plus at the 12% level in palm frond feed resulted in the most optimal nutrient digestibility
Food Hygiene-Sanitation Labels: Is It Important? Analysis of Consumer Attention and Perception Across Age, Gender, Education and Income Groups
Full text linkThe suitability of a product's perceived value to consumers’ needs determines the success of offerings. Food safety labels as product attributes have not yet become a concern for most consumers. This research analyzed consumer attention to NKV certification and perceptions of choosing NKV-certified livestock food products regarding demographic profiles. This research was conducted using a survey and data collection was carried out online via social media between June and August 2023. Respondents were determined using a purposive sampling method with the criteria that they had ever shopped for processed livestock products in the last month and were over 18 years old. A total of 210 data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and non-parametric Chi-Square. The results showed that behavior regarding NKV certification is positively related to age, education level, and income variables but not to gender. Further analysis showed that the perception of purchasing NKV products is wise and a first choice is greater in groups with older age and higher education levels. Furthermore, the perception of this purchase has the potential to occur in the group of respondents with an income of at least IDR 1,500,000. Furthermore, NKV has not been considered by all respondents, only 14.28% of respondents thought NKV was an important attribute. This study concluded that demographic variables such as age, education level, and income should be deliberated in profiling the market segment for NKV-certified livestock food products. Behavior to purchase NKV products increases in older age groups, higher levels of education, and income
