Muhammad Basir Paly — 2025-02-22

Partnership pattern broiler chicken production has contributed to chicken meat production, employment, and income of farmer households in rural areas. However, the challenge faced is the change of seasons which takes place twice a year which affects the production system. This study aims to evaluate differences in broiler chicken mortality, feed conversion (FCR) and Performance Index (IP) between the rainy and dry seasons. It was carried out in Gowa and Takalat Regencies from December to October 2022. Data was collected through surveys and interviews with 40 plasma farmers. The results showed that in the rainy season mortality was higher, FCR was not efficient, and IP performance was lower than in the dry season. I was concluded that broiler chicken maintenance in the rainy season has the potential to be detrimental to breeders. The implication of this research is that breeders need to minimize risks in the rainy season. It is recommended that breeders must be able to control the microclimate, especially humidity and wind speed which are ideal for broilers, maintain ration quality, and carry out fortification or the addition of certain substances to improve ration nutrition.

This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of sweet orange fruit extract (Citrus sinensis) on yogurt drink with organoleptic tests. The research method used a Complete Random Design (RAL) with 4 treatments and 3 replicates, namely P0: no sweet orange extract (Citrus sinensis), P1: 5% sweet orange extract (Citrus sinensis), P2: 7% sweet orange extract (Citrus sinensis), P3: 9% sweet orange extract (Citrus sinensis). The parameters tested in this study were (color, aroma, taste, texture and level of liking). Data analysis used Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the Smallest Real Difference (BNT) test. The results showed that the addition of sweet orange extract (Citrus sinensis) at different levels had a very real effect (P<0.01) on color, aroma, taste and level of liking while on texture had a real effect (P<0.05). The highest organoleptic test on color, aroma, taste, texture and preference level was obtained in P3 treatment: (9%). While the lowest in the P0 treatment: without the addition of sweet orange extract (Citrus sinensis). The addition of sweet orange fruit extract with treatment (9%) is preferred by consumers.

Strategi Pengembangan Usaha Ternak Sapi Bali di Kecamatan Kajuara Kabupaten Bone

Astati Astati — 2025-02-24

Bone Regenc, is one of the regions for Bali cattle development in South Sulawesi. Sustainable Bali cattle development is influenced by internal and external factors. Therefore, effective steps and strategies are required to manage these factors. This research was conducted in Bulu Tanah Village, Kajuara Sub-district, with the aim of analyzing the factors influencing the development of Bali cattle farming using a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. Internal and external factors were analyzed using the Internal External (IE) matrix to obtain the SWOT matrix. The research employed a qualitative approach, with data sourced from seven farmers, one village official, one artificial insemination (AI) officer, and one representative from the Livestock and Animal Health Office of Bone Regency. The total IFE matrix score was 3.18, while the total EFE matrix score was 3.36, indicating that Bali cattle farming development in Bulu Tanah Village, Kajuara District, Bone Regency, is relatively effective in responding to opportunities and mitigating threats.The alternative strategies proposed to sustain and develop Bali cattle farming in the region include: enhancing motivation for Bali cattle farming, providing market information, establishing policies for disease control, improving livestock facilities and infrastructure, strengthening farmer training and support services, building cooperative relationships with the government and cooperatives, enhancing vaccine and AI services, creating a conducive business environment, increasing farmers’ awareness of livestock diseases, encouraging investor interest in collaboration, improving skills in livestock product management, and offering technological training for farmers through workshops.

Analisis Peran Gender dalam Pengelolaan Sapi Potong pada Sistem Bagi Hasil

Gender is a social and cultural construct influencing roles and responsibilities across various sectors, including beef cattle farming under a profit-sharing system. This study aims to analyze gender roles in the management of beef cattle farming within a profit-sharing system in Bontocani District, Bone Regency. The research sample consisted of 36 farmers, 24 men, and 12 women, selected proportionally with a significance level of α=10%. Data collection was conducted using a cross-sectional survey method. Data analysis was performed descriptively to examine gender roles in access, control, and the utilization and management of profits. The findings indicate that men dominate access to resources (65–67%), decision-making control (61–64%), and external profit utilization (78%), while women play a more significant role in internal profit utilization (81%). The study concludes that gender roles influence the management of beef cattle farming, with men being more dominant in strategic and economic aspects. In contrast, women are more involved in profit management within the domestic sphere. Collaboration between men and women is a key factor in ensuring the sustainability of this farming business.

Regression Analysis of Phenotypic Traits of West African Dwarf Goats (Capra Hircus) In Derived Savanna Zone of Nigeria

Adetunmbi Tella — 2025-02-27

Three hundred and ninety-nine (399) West African dwarf goats from the Ejigbo Local Government Area in Osun State and the surrounding Derived Savanna Zone of Nigeria were evaluated for body measures and live weight. Analysis was done on data pertaining to 194 bucks and 205 does. These were categorized into six age groups (milk teeth, 2-teeth, 4-teeth, 6-teeth, 8-teeth, and worn teeth) and recorded by sex. The purpose of the study was to characterize the phenotype of the WAD goat and identify the best model or models for predicting liveweight based on body measures in the experimental location, which is Nigeria's derived savanna zone. For both sexes, body measurement values rose significantly (P < 0.05) with age. In bucks, the average body weight was 5.32 ±0.15 to 29.63±1.88 kg, while in does, it was 5.75±0.13 to 30.29±1.22 kg. In terms of body weight and other physical parameters, sex variations were discovered. For quantitative features including heart circumference, body length, rump height, foreleg height, and withers height, the fitted linear regression equations also show that the coefficients were positive and significant (P < 0.05). Moreover, at all ages, multiple regression considerably increased the coefficient of determination (R2) (P < 0.05). In summary, body weight and linear body measurements are economically significant characteristics in animal genetic resources, particularly for small ruminants like goats during selection, to offer precise weight determination in isolated locations without a scale.

Manajemen Pakan dan Pemenuhan Nutrisi pada Anoa Gunung (Bubalus Quarlesi) di Citra Satwa Celebes

Bahrul Hidayat — 2025-03-17

Anoa (Bubalus sp.) is an endemic animal from Sulawesi whose sustainability is threatened. Animal feed in the form of green fodder is very important for the health of anoa, but its utilization is constrained by dry land. Feed is divided into natural feed that is available directly in nature and artificial feed processed from a mixture of natural ingredients. This study aims to observe the type of feed, feed management, providing nutrition, and daily behavior of anoa at the Citra Satwa Celebes Zoo, as part of an effort to conserve this ex-situ species. The method used is a qualitative descriptive method. Anoa are given a variety of feed, including para grass, elephant grass, kale and tofu dregs, to meet the needs of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals in captivity. Feed management is carried out twice a day; tofu dregs which are rich in protein are given in the morning, while green grass is given in the afternoon to support digestion. The results of observations show that the feed given has met the basic nutritional needs of anoa with a protein content of 8.5% and crude fiber of 28%. The daily activity pattern of anoa is biphasic, with the main activities being feeding, walking, and resting in the morning and evening. These findings suggest that proper feeding management can support the physical health and psychological well-being of anoa in captive environments, and contribute to the success of conservation programs for this species.
