    Fourty five-male Sprague Dawley rats, weighing about 100g of 2 month old were used as experimental animals to studyt he role of high cholesterol and high fat diets on blood lipid profiles, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol. Before this research began, rats were adapted for a week and were fed basal diet. The rats were then randomly alloted into three groups( I, II, UI) of 15 each. Group I as control was fed normal (basal) diet, group II was fed diet containing high fat diet, and group III was fed diet containing high cholesterol and high fat diet. After 3, 6, and 12 weeks on experimental diets, blood specimen from 5 rats of each group were collected to determine triglyceride, HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol concenhation. The statistic alanalyses using multifactorial randomized design for blood lipid, showed that experimentat time periods caused significant increase(p <0.05) in the total cholesterol concentration, wish, 1 2 weeks on experimental diet was the highest concentration. Diet and experimental time periods showed significant increase(p <0.05) in the total triglyceride concentrations,a fter 12 weeks of treatments was the highest concentration. Significantly increased( p<0.05) in HDl-cholesterol concentrations were caused by diet and experimental time periods, however, there was no significant effect by interaction between experimental time periods and diet. Significantly increased (p<0.05) inLDL-cholesterol concentrations were caused by diet and experimental time periods. However, there was no interaction between experimental time periods and diets in total LDL-cholesterol concentration. In this study,high fat and high cholesterol d iet group (group III) and six weeksi n experimental diet had the greatest influenced in total LDL-cholesterol concentration. Based upon the experimental results, it can be concluded that: (l) high cholesterol and high fat diet could increase total cholestrol concentration and total triglyceride concentration, (2) there was no interaction between experimental time periods and diet on HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentration

    In countries with high plant biodiversity such as Indonesia, the availability of food of plant origin is very diverse. The presence of anti-nutrients in plants would potentially cause problems in cattle if not managed properly. phytic acid is one anti nutritional factor that have a role in disrupting the health and productivity The term phytate refers to the molecule phytic acid, which generally acts as a chelate to Mg, Ca, Na, and K, and in some cases protein and carbohydrates. Seeds of cereals, legumes and oilseed plant which is used as animal feed usually contains a lot of phytic acid which can cause a decline in nutritional value. However, with a variety of processing methods, levels of phytic acid in animal feed can be reduced or even eliminated. In addition to the processing method, the method of adding phytase enzyme may also be done to improve the nutritional value of the animal feed ingredients

    Peran Makromineral pada Reproduksi Ruminansia

    Macromineral is one component of a nutrient that has an important role in the growth, health, production,reproduction and immune system of animals. Ruminants need makromineral such as Ca, P, Mg, K, Na , Cl and S. Mineral needs of ruminant affected by several factors such as their age, pregnancy and lactation status.Mineral deficiency can cause disturbances in reproduction ruminant. Ca and P have direct influence while Mg, K, Na, Cl and S acted indirectly on reproductive function. A complete understanding of the role macromineral on ruminant reproductive function is indispensable for the prevention of their reproductive disorders due toimproper feeding minerals

    Brachiaria decumbens grass is one of the grazing grasses with better production than field grass. It has high nutritional value, is more resistant in the dry season, and is suitabel for tropical areas. Brachiaria decumbens grass, called Signal Grass, is usually planted for pastures—permanent grazing, but also planted or conserved in limited quantities by smallholder farmers. The general nutritional content of Brachiaria decumbens natural grass is 10.08% water content, 14.11% ash, 3.21% crude protein, 47.39% crude fiber, 2.25% crude fat, 33.04% BETN, TDN 42.14%. Even though it has high nutritional value, Brachiaria decumbens contains anti-nutritional steroid saponin factors such as protodioscin, diosgenin, and yamogenin, which can interfere with growth and are toxic to ruminants. This article reviews the benefits and risks of using Brachiaria decumbens grass as forage for ruminant livestock.Brachiaria decumbens grass is one of the grazing grasses with better production than field grass.

Demikian juga pertambahan bobot badan dan FCR tidak berbeda nyata (P>0.05) antar perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan hasil berbeda tidak nyata (P<0,05) pada semua kelompok perlakuan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian disimpulkan penggunaan fucoidan 2,6 mg/mL sampai dengan level 10,4 ml/mL belum dapat memberikan pengaruh terhadap konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan serta FCR pada ayam pedaging

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
