Potential of Jatropha Curcas Seed Extract Linimentum as A Therapeutic for Scabies in Goats
Full text linkThis study aimed to evaluate the potential of Jatropha curcas seed extract liniment (JSE) as a therapeutic agent for scabies in goats. The experiment involved 20 adult goats (1215 months old) divided into five treatment groups: P0 (negative control), P1 (positive control), P2 (10% JSE), P3 (20% JSE), and P4 (40% JSE). Each treatment group consisted of four replicates, with one goat per replicate. The JSE preparation was applied topically to the affected skin twice daily (morning and evening) for 14 days. Data were collected on days 0, 3, 7, 10, and 14, assessing clinical parameters such as alopecia, skin thickening, scab formation, and scabies recovery time. The results indicated that the 40% JSE treatment (P4) exhibited superior efficacy compared to lower concentrations, yielding outcomes comparable to the positive control (ppt sulfur liniment), a widely used scabies treatment
Histological and Chemical Studies of Goat Skin Transformation Processing of Raw Skin into Tanned Leather
Full text linkFresh goat skin and skins tanned with different tanning agents were prepared for histological, chemical, and physical analyses. Fresh skin samples were fixed in 10% formalin solution, processed using the paraffin embedding technique, sectioned, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin to determine the histological structure. Samples of goat tanned skin, treated with various tanning agents (chrome, aldehyde, chamois, and vegetable), underwent chemical analysis using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) followed by physical analyses, including tensile strength, tear strength, thickness, and shrinkage temperature. The results showed that the histological structure of fresh skin consisted of two layers: the epidermis and dermis, while tanned leather only exhibited the dermis layer. The epidermis was removed during the tanning process. FTIR analysis of chrome-tanned leather showed bands at 1633 cm1 (amide I), 1554 cm1 (amide II), and 1240 cm1 (amide III). Aldehyde-tanned leather showed bands at 1651 cm1, 1550 cm1, and 1271 cm1 (amide I, II, and III), while vegetable-tanned leather displayed bands at 1634 cm1 (amide I), 1552 cm1 (amide II), and 1239 cm1 (amide III). Shifts in peak positions, intensity, and the number of signature peaks were observed across the tanning agents (chrome, aldehyde, oil, and vegetable). The use of different tanning agentswet blue, wet white, vegetable-tanned, and chamoisresulted in distinct grain-surface structures, significantly influencing the physical characteristics of the leather
Effect the Use of Coconut Water Kefir Supplementation on Performance, Carcass, and Gastrointestinal Tract of Broiler Chicken
Full text linkThis study aimed to assess the effects of coconut water kefir (CWK) supplementation on the production performance, carcass characteristics, and gastrointestinal tract morphology of broiler chickens. A total of 400 broiler chickens were used and divided into four treatment groups with five replicates, each containing 20 chickens. The study followed a completely randomized design (CRD). The treatment groups were as follows: T0 (control, no CWK supplementation), T1 (5% CWK), T2 (10% CWK), and T3 (15% CWK). The results indicated that CWK supplementation significantly influenced production performance, including feed intake, final body weight, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and feed efficiency ratio. Furthermore, CWK supplementation also had a significant effect on carcass traits, such as carcass weight, breast percentage, thigh percentage, and abdominal fat, as well as on gastrointestinal tract parameters, including jejunum percentage, jejunum length, and ileum length. The optimal results were obtained from the 10% CWK supplementation (T2). In conclusion, CWK supplementation effectively improved the production performance, carcass yield, and gastrointestinal tract development in broiler chickens

Internal Quality of Mojosari Duck Eggs by Soaking in Bandotan Plant Solution (Ageratum Conyzoides L) as a Natural Preservative
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to determine the effect of soaking in a solution of Bandotan plants (Ageratum conyzoides L) on the quality of Mojosari duck eggs. This research method was a laboratory experiment with a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and three replications. The concentration of egg soaking in a solution of Bandotan plants was 0% (T0), 10% (T1), 20% (T2), 30% (T3), and 40% (T4). The research data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), if there were differences between treatments, then continued with Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results showed that soaking in a solution of Bandotan plants gave a significant difference (P0.05) to the shrinkage of egg weight, egg cavity height, egg yolk index, egg white index, haugh unit (HU). The value of egg weight shrinkage from the smallest to the largest as follows 6.87% (T2) and 12.14% (T0). Egg cavity height: 4.41 (T2) and 10.31 (T0). Egg yolk index: 0.12 (T0) and 0.46 (T2). Egg white index: 0.043 (T0) and 0.101 (T2). Haugh unit (HU): 52.20 (T0) and 80.37 (T2). Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that soaking Mojosari duck eggs in a 20% solution of Bandotan (A. conyzoides L) for 12 hours was the most effective concentration for maintaining internal egg quality during 21 days of storage at room temperature
Kinematic Characteristics of Spermatozoa in Different Goat Breeds Using Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA)
Full text linkoai:jurnal.usk.ac.id:article/47621Advances in semen quality analysis technology are developing rapidly. Computer-based semen analysis technology provides a more objective assessment of spermatozoa motility by measuring various kinematic movements of spermatozoa cells. This study aimed to analyze differences in spermatozoa movement patterns using Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) in various goat breeds. This study used frozen semen from four goat breeds: Boer, Ettawa crossbred (PE), Saanen, and Anglo-Nubian. Parameter observations were conducted on thawed frozen semen from two straw samples for each group, consisting of six replicates from each breed. The observed sperm kinetic movement characteristics were VAP, VCL, VSL, DAP, DCL, DSL, STR, LIN, WOB, ALH, and BCF. The results showed that sperm movements did not differ significantly (P0.05) in VAP, VCL, VSL, DAP, DCL, and WOB. There were significant differences in DSL, the highest in Saanen 21.993.01 m/second, the highest STR and LIN values in Boer 0.690.04% and 0.450.03%, the longest ALH Anglo Nubian 6.190.39 m, and the largest BCF Boer 25.561.87 Hz. This study concludes that differences in goat breeds affect the kinematic movement of spermatozoa as measured by CASA in the parameters of DSL, STR, LIN, ALH, and BCF
Rice Field Carrying Capacity as A Source of Ruminant Feed in the Rice-Cattle Integration System
Full text linkKolaka Regency is recognised not only as a major rice producer but also as an important centre for smallholder livestock farming. The Rice-Cattle Integration System (R-CIS) has been identified as an effective approach to optimize local agricultural resources for smallholder livestock development. However, its dissemination has remained limited due to the uneven carrying capacity of rice fields across different regions. This study aimed to analyse the current and projected carrying capacity of rice fields in Kolaka Regency, Southeast Sulawesi (20232024), considering land availability, livestock population, and feed resources. Data analysis included assessments of land carrying capacity, livestock density, livestock concentration index (LCI), and feed concentration index (FCI). Results indicated that Kolaka had 12,203 ha of rice fields, producing 3,188 tons of crude protein (CP) annually from unfermented rice straw and 10,539 tons CP/year from fermented straw. Feed distribution within the regency was uneven: in districts such as Baula, Pomalaa, Samaturu, Wolo, and Wundulako, livestock populations could be increased, whereas Toari and Watubangga exceeded carrying capacity even after straw fermentation. The study estimated that fermented straw could support an additional 24,335 livestock units (LU) across Kolaka Regency, equivalent to about 2,028 LU per district annually. These findings highlight the need for inter-district feed substitution and livestock redistribution. Overall, fermented rice straw significantly enhanced feed availability, thereby supporting sustainable livestock production
Digestibility of Dry Matter and Organic Matter in Feed with Pollard Substitution in Male Jawarandu Goats
Full text linkThis study aimed to determine the effect of adding pollard to the feed on the digestibility of dry matter and organic matter in Jawarandu goats, as well as to assess the impact of pollard supplementation on the productivity of these goats. The study was conducted from March 2020 to May 2020. The material used in the study consisted of male Jawarandu goats, aged approximately 1 year, with an average body weight of 20.74 kg (CV= 13.60%), placed in individual metabolic cages with a stage cage model, totaling 12 Jawarandu goats. The feed used consisted of forage, specifically elephant grass, and concentrate, comprising rice bran, cassava flour, and pollard, with a ratio of 30% forage to 70% concentrate. This study employed an experimental, quantitative method with a completely randomized design (CRD), involving four treatments. The results showed that the effect of adding pollard to the ration on dry matter and organic digestibility in male Jawarandu goats was not significantly different (P0.05). However, the best treatment in this study was treatment P3 with a pollard addition ratio of 60%, yielding a daily body weight gain of 89.63 g/head/day, dry matter digestibility of 47.5111.55%, and organic matter digestibility of 55.6711.30% in male Jawarandu goats. The addition of pollard to the feed of Jawarandu goats tends to increase the value of dry matter digestibility, organic matter digestibility, and increase the productivity of Jawarandu goats
The Effectivity of Giving Citronella Ark Blok to Improve the Quality of Etawah Crossbreed Goat Milk
Full text linkThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of citronella ark blocks on the fat, lactose, and protein content of Etawah crossbreed goat milk. The study used five female Etawah crossbreed goats, each in their first and fifth lactation periods. A Latin Square Design (LSD) was employed, with five treatments and five replications, as follows: P0: 0% citronella block, P1: 2% of total ration, P2: 4% of total ration, P3: 6% of total ration, and P4: 8% of total ration. The parameters measured included milk fat, lactose, and protein content. The results indicated that the administration of citronella ark blocks had no significant effect (P0.05) on the milk quality of Etawah crossbreed goats. Before treatment, the milk had an average fat content of 4.16%, lactose content of 3.91%, and protein content of 4.11%. After treatment, the milk quality improved, with fat content reaching 4.9%, lactose content 4%, and protein content 4.16%. Therefore, the use of citronella ark blocks may enhance milk quality, offering significant benefits for the dairy goat farming industry
Implementation of Rucah Fish Meal as a Substitute for Fish Meal in the Native Chicken Ration
Full text linkThis research aims to assess the performance of native chickens fed with rucah fish meal (RFM) as a substitute for fish meal (FM). A total of 200 native chickens, aged 1 day, were maintained for 8 weeks and divided into 20 experimental units with five treatments and four replications. The treatments included substituting fish meal in the ration with rucah fish meal at various levels: P0= 12% FM and 0% RFM, P1= 9% FM and 3% RFM, P2= 6% FM and 6% RFM, P3= 3% FM and 9% RFM, and P4= 0% FM and 12% RFM. A completely randomized design was used with a coefficient of variation for initial body weight of 2.37%. Parameters measured included feed consumption, body weight, carcass percentage, and feed conversion ratio. The results showed that replacing fish meal with rucah fish meal did not significantly affect (P0.05) feed consumption but significantly increased (P0.05) chicken body weight and improved feed conversion ratio. It was concluded that fish meal can be replaced up to 100% with rucah fish meal (12% in the ration) to improve native chicken performance
