Thu, 03 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study examines the improvement of broiler chickens using AGP and without AGP aims to determine the difference between the use and removal of antibiotic growth promoter (AGP) in broiler chicken feed based on production aspects (feed efficiency and cumulative performance index), economic aspects (business capacity and income), socio-demographic aspects (breeder education, age of breeder, duration of breeding and motivation to raise livestock), analyzing various factors and their relationship in broiler farming in Banyumas district, Pemalang district, Temanggung district, and Banjarnegara district, Central Java province. This research was conducted using a survey method on broiler breeders who joined a partnership company. Data analysis consisted of analysis of variance based on GLM (general linear model). The results of the phase 1 study showed that there were differences in production aspects (EFF and IPK) in different years, districts, and business scales, but the use and elimination of AGP on feed efficiency and cumulative performance index showed no significant differences. Broiler production was better in 2018 with the elimination of AGP than in 2017 when using AGP in the manufacturer's feed. Based on the economic aspect, the use and elimination of AGP have no significant effect on business capacity and income. Scientifically, it is necessary to carry out further research and development of quantitative models. The implications of efforts to improve the broiler farming business system on smallholder farms include: 1) breeders have land and cages with minimal quality, namely semi-closed houses, 2) partnership companies partner with farmers who have livestock education background, 3) improve maintenance management based on quality. SAPRONAK used. Therefore, in the development of the broiler farming business, it is necessary for the Government to also pay attention to the regulatory system and arrangement of the broiler marketing trade system as an effort to increase the productivity of the broiler farming business.

This study aims to compare the hatchability of a static incubator without turning the eggs with a manual incubator that performs the process of turning eggs. The research was carried out in December 2021, at Sanggrahan, Krajan Village, Gatak District, Sukoharjo Regency. The study used two manual incubators and a heating source using an incandescent lamp with a power of 5 watts of 375 lumens. The incubator is set to a temperature of 37.5°C and a humidity of 55-70%. The quail eggs used were 170 eggs. The manual incubator uses a static method, namely the eggs are placed standing vertically with the pointed part at the bottom so that the egg turning process is not carried out. The manual incubator is done by turn the eggs twice a day manually. The hatching process lasts for 18 days. The results showed that fertile eggs hatched with a static incubator reached 65.8%, while with a manual incubator it reached 67%. Mortality hatched by static incubator reached 37.5% while with manual incubator 31.5%. The hatchability of quail eggs hatched using a static incubator was 62.5%, while the hatchability of quail eggs hatched using a manual incubator was 68.5%. The hatchability of quail eggs hatched using a static incubator without turning the eggs is 6% lower than quail eggs hatched by a manual incubator with an egg turning process, but the time and energy of using a static incubator are more efficient because it does not need to be rotated egg.

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of different concentrations of kandangu Mbuku flour on water content, antioxidants, Ph, and organoleptics in salted eggs from purebred chickens, including (color, taste, texture and preferences). The research was carried out in the integrated laboratory at Wira Discourse Christian University, Sumba. This research used 200 purebred chicken eggs. This research used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replications, namely P1= 20% concentration of kandangu mbuku flour, P2= 25% concentration of kanu mbuku flour, P3= 30% concentration of kandangu mbuku flour, P4= concentration 35% corn flour. So there are 20 sample units. The variables observed were water content, pH, antioxidants, and organoleptics (color, taste, texture and preferences). The data obtained is analyzed with a confidence level of 5%, if the results have a real effect then it will be continued with a real difference test. Treatment of kandangu Mbuku flour with each different level can have an influence on changes in color, taste, texture and preferences. However, the highest concentration, namely 35%, can increase the percentage of water content in the egg white and yolk, as well as increase the pH of the egg. The higher the concentration of kadangu mbuku flour given, the more intense the color of the egg yolk will be.

This study investigates the efficacy of binahong (Anredera cordifolia) leaf extract as a natural alternative to synthetic vaccines on the blood profile of broiler chickens. One hundred COBB broilers were divided into five treatment groups with four replications each: P0 (standard ND vaccine), P1 (no treatment/control), P2 (binahong leaf extract 0.25 g/ml), P3 (binahong leaf extract 0.15 g/ml) and P4 (binahong leaf extract 0.05 g/ml). Blood samples were collected and analyzed after 28 days to assess hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), and erythrocyte levels. Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Duncan’s post-hoc test. Results showed that binahong leaf extract significantly increased hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels, with the highest Hb observed at 7.74 g/dl in the 0.25 g/ml group and the highest erythrocyte count at 2.84 x 10⁶ cells/mm³ in the 0.15 g/ml group. Although PCV levels were highest in the 0.25 g/ml group, differences across treatments were not statistically significant. These findings suggest that binahong leaf extract, particularly at higher concentrations, may improve blood parameters in broilers, suggesting its potential as a natural health promoter in poultry production.

Body weight and measuring body sizes in livestock are important factors in selecting seeds, slaughtering livestock, and describing the condition of livestock. This study aimed to develop a practical method for estimating body weight in female Garut sheep by employing Winter, Schoorl, and Arjodarmoko estimation formulas, and analyzing the correlation between body weight and morphometric measurements, including body length, chest circumference, and shoulder height. The research was conducted on a sample of 23 female Garut sheep aged 18-24 months, utilizing a qualitative descriptive methodology with purposive sampling. Results demonstrated body weight deviation averages as follows: Winter formula 0.74 kg (2.96%), Schoorl formula 2.54 kg (10.21%), and Arjodarmoko formula 1.23 kg (4.95%). Mean body weight estimations were: Winter formula 24.14 ± 3.81 kg, Schoorl formula 27.42 ± 2.65 kg, and Arjodarmoko formula 26.11 ± 4.12 kg. The smallest deviation was observed in the Winter formula (±0.74 kg, 2.96%), followed by Arjodarmoko (1.23 kg, 4.95%), while the Schoorl formula exhibited the largest deviation (2.54 kg, 10.21%). The study concluded that the Winter formula provides the most accurate estimation of body weight for female Garut sheep.
