Performa Ayam Broiler dengan Penggunaan Slat Plastik (Studi Kasus di Peternakan PT. Dinamika Megatama Citra)
Broiler chickens are a meat producing breed with a faster production period compared to other types of slaughter livestock. At the age of 28 days, broilers can already be marketed with a weight of about 1.2 kg. Increased productivity of broilers can be seen from their performance, which can be measured through body weight, feed consumption, mortality rate. One of the factors that affect broiler performance is litter management. This study aims to analyze the performance of broiler chickens with the use of plastic slats for four periods. The research was conducted at the internal farm of PT Dinamika Megatama Citra (DMC) located in Parelegi Village, Purwodadi District, Pasuruan, East Java. Research variables included average body weight (ABW), feed conversion (FCR), mortality, and performance index (IP). The results showed the performance of broilers with the use of plastic slats for four periods obtained an ABW value of 2,441 kg higher than the standard 2,226 kg. The FCR value of 1.72 was higher than the standard of 1.52 and the mortality rate of 7.8% was higher than the standard of 5%, indicating problems of uncomfortable cage environment and challenges in brooding management. The IP value of 349 is good, although improvements are needed in feed efficiency and mortality control.

Analisis peran kelembagaan dan kebijakan dalam mendorong adopsi smart farming untuk ketahanan pangan ternak Nasional
This study aims to analyze the role of institutions and policies in promoting the adoption of Smart Farming (SF) to strengthen national livestock food security. Through a systematic literature review, relevant literature from leading scientific databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, covering the period 2010-2024, was evaluated based on inclusion/exclusion criteria and analyzed thematically. The research findings indicate that formal institutions (e.g., research institutions, extension services) and informal institutions (e.g., social norms, networks) play a crucial role in facilitating SF adoption, while government policies through financial incentives, digital infrastructure, regulations, and training are essential for creating a supportive environment. Despite the significant potential of SF, socio-economic challenges such as high costs and lack of digital skills still hinder adoption, particularly among small-scale farmers, leading to productivity gaps and sustainability issues. In conclusion, synergy between comprehensive policies and adaptive institutional strengthening is vital to optimize SF adoption, making the livestock sector more resilient and contributing significantly to sustainable food security.

Effects of dried black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae feed on growth performance and cost efficiency in crossbred village chickens
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of incorporating dried black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae into commercial feed on the growth performance and cost efficiency of crossbred village chickens. A total of 30 day-old chicks were randomly assigned to three treatment groups (n = 10 each): T1 (control, commercial concentrate), T2 (commercial concentrate with 5% dried larvae), and T3 (commercial concentrate with 10% dried larvae). The experiment was conducted over a period of 9 weeks (63 days). Body weight and feed intake were recorded weekly. At the end of the trial, final body weights were measured and feed cost was analyzed. Results showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) in final body weight among the groups; however, the inclusion of dried black soldier fly larvae significantly improved feed conversion ratio (FCR) (p < 0.001), with T2 and T3 showing improvements of 15.15% and 16.67% respectively compared to the control. Feed costs increased slightly with larvae inclusion, but the 10% inclusion level led to better net profit compared to the other groups. In conclusion, supplementing commercial diets with 10% dried black soldier fly larvae enhances feed efficiency and economic returns without increasing daily feed costs, making it a viable and sustainable alternative protein source for crossbred village chicken production.

Kualitas fisik silase tebon jagung menggunakan media plastik vakum dan plastik tanpa vakum
The availability of forage feed throughout the year is a key factor in supporting livestock productivity, especially during the dry season when forage production decreases significantly. One solution to overcome this limitation is silage production. This study aims to compare the physical quality and palatability of corn stover silage stored using vacuum and non-vacuum plastic bags at Ananta Farm Sukabumi. The research was conducted from October 26 to November 16, 2024, using an experimental method with two treatments. The observed parameters included color, texture, aroma, mold contamination, and feed intake. The results showed that using vacuum plastic helped maintain a greenish-yellow color, compact texture, fresh sour aroma, and low mold contamination (0.26%) compared to non-vacuum plastic. In addition, feed intake for silage stored in vacuum plastic reached 170 grams, higher than non-vacuum plastic (155 grams). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the vacuum plastic storage method is more effective in maintaining the physical quality and improving the palatability of corn stover silage. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for farmers to optimize silage storage and improve feed production efficiency.

Nutritional assessment of maggot meal as an alternative protein in broiler starter diets
Proper feed formulation is needed to meet the needs of the necessary food substances in sufficient quantities to support livestock productivity. Starter phase broilers have the highest crude protein requirement because it is an important growth phase in muscle and body tissue formation. Broiler chickens have a good ability to utilize nutrients through alternative feed as a source of protein due to the low Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) value and high fat absorption efficiency. Maggot meal (Hermetia illucens) is an alternative protein source has been widely studied in poultry feed, containing approximately 40–45% crude protein. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different levels of maggot meal as an alternative animal protein source on the optimal nutritional content of starter-phase broiler feed. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and three replications (15 samples), which were analyzed in the laboratory. The treatments included P0 (0%), P1 (5%), P2 (10%), P3 (15%), and P4 (20%) maggot meal. Based on the results of proximate analysis of moisture content, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and ash content, the P4 treatment (20% maggot meal) yielded the best results with an optimal feed nutrient composition that meets the requirements of starter-phase broiler chickens. Further research can be conducted by testing maggot-based feed directly on livestock through in vivo trials.

Mulberry leaves (Morus alba) as a potential alternative forage for rabbits: a review
The success of rabbit farming largely depends on the availability of economical and highly nutritious forage. White mulberry leaves (Morus alba) are a promising option, as they contain over 20% crude protein, more than 80% digestibility, and a balanced profile of amino acids. These leaves are also rich in minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds with antioxidant, immunostimulant, and antibacterial properties that support rabbit health and performance. Research shows that including mulberry leaves at up to 50% of the diet can improve feed efficiency, growth, and immune response without compromising meat quality. However, for meat with better flavour and a juicier texture, a lower inclusion rate below 10% is preferable. Age-related differences are important; feeding young rabbits diets containing 20% or more mulberry leaves may slow growth. Despite their benefits, mulberry leaves also contain antinutritional factors such as tannins, phytic acid, crude fibre, and 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), which may reduce digestibility and nutrient absorption. To minimise these limitations, appropriate inclusion rates should be used, and processing methods such as wilting, drying, fermentation, or producing leaf meal can be employed to lower antinutritional levels. In conclusion, mulberry leaves are a safe and valuable forage for rabbits with recommended dosage 20% until 50% DMI.

The variables studied in this study include: feed consumption, feed conversion, deplesion, and indeks performance. The results of the study showed that the provision of herbal probiotics in broiler feed did not make a difference to feed consumption, feed conversion, and mortality rates, but it could make a difference to the index performance. The conclusion of this study is that broiler chickens raised in upper cages can produce relatively larger body weights because the air exchange regulation system in the upper cages works well so that the chickens are able to adapt to a supportive environment.

The effect of replacing filler with sweet potato flour on the hedonic test of spent quail meat sausages among child panelists
Sweet potato flour is a source of fiber with potential to be used as a filler in meat products, such as sausages. This study aimed to determine the effect of substituting sweet potato flour as a filler on the hedonic evaluation of spent quail meat sausages by child panelists. The materials used in this research included spent quail meat, tapioca, soy protein isolate, oil, monosodium glutamate, sodium tripolyphosphate, pepper, carrageenan, salt, garlic, shallots, ice, egg white, onions, coriander, frankfurter, nutmeg, sugar, white sweet potato flour, yellow sweet potato flour, purple sweet potato flour, and collagen casings. The filler substitution treatments were as follows: P1 (no substitution), P2 (20% white sweet potato flour), P3 (20% yellow sweet potato flour), P4 (20% purple sweet potato flour), and P5 (a 20% combination of white, yellow, and purple sweet potato flours in a 1:1:1 ratio), based on the total amount of tapioca filler. Sensory tests were conducted with 40 child panelists aged 6-12 years. The hedonic parameters evaluated included color, flavor, taste, texture, chewiness, and overall acceptability, measured using a 5-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using non-parametric methods, specifically the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test for further analysis when significant differences were found. The results indicated that sweet potato flour substitution significantly affected the chewiness score of the sausages but did not influence the scores for color, flavor, taste, or texture. It was concluded that substituting sweet potato flour as a filler can improve the chewiness of spent quail meat sausages and can be used up to 20% of the total filler in sausage production.

Effect of green-synthesized nano-calcium fortification from broiler bones on the hedonic evaluation of broiler meatballs by child panelists
The green synthesis of nano-calcium from broiler bones is considered safer because it uses environmentally friendly solvents and has low toxicity. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of nano-calcium fortification derived from broiler bones using green synthesis on the hedonic evaluation of broiler meatballs by child panelists. The materials used in the research included broiler meat, tapioca flour, egg white, salt, shallots, garlic, monosodium glutamate, pepper, soy protein isolate, sodium tripolyphosphate, carrageenan, ice, lime juice, and distilled water. The nano-calcium fortification treatments were: P0 (0%), P1 (0.15%), P2 (0.3%), P3 (0.45%), and P4 (0.6%) based on the total weight of the meatball mixture. Sensory evaluation was conducted with 40 child panelists aged 6-12 years. The hedonic test parameters assessed included color, flavor, taste, texture, chewiness, and overall acceptability, using a 5-point Likert scale for scoring. The hedonic test data were analyzed using non-parametric statistical methods, specifically the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test for post-hoc analysis when significant differences were found. The results showed that nano-calcium fortification from broiler bones significantly affected the taste and overall acceptability scores of the meatballs, while it had no significant effect on color, flavor, texture, or chewiness. It was concluded that fortification with 0.6% nano-calcium derived from broiler bones was the most effective treatment, yielding the highest scores for taste and overall acceptability at 4.88 and 4.98, respectively.

Characterization of the whiteness degree of calcium citrate synthesized from broiler chicken bone waste
The whiteness degree characterization was performed to assess the brightness and purity of calcium citrate, as a higher whiteness degree indicates better product quality and greater potential for application. This study aimed to characterize the degree of whiteness of calcium citrate synthesized from broiler chicken bone waste. The study materials included broiler chicken bone waste, citric acid, ethanol, and distilled water. Calcium oxide derived from broiler chicken bones was mixed with distilled water. Citric acid and 95% ethanol were then added and stirred for 30 minutes using a hotplate magnetic stirrer at 75 °C and 500 rpm. The sample was subsequently sun-dried for 14 days and ground for 1 minute using a blender. The observed parameter was the degree of whiteness, measured using a color reader. The whiteness data were analyzed descriptively. Calcium citrate synthesized from broiler chicken bone waste using citric acid had a whiteness degree of 74.40±0.02, indicating that the product exhibited good visual quality and a stable synthesis process. These results demonstrate that broiler chicken bone waste has strong potential as an environmentally friendly alternative source of calcium.

Evaluation of the digestive organs of laying quails fed diets containing golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) and Azolla pinnata meal
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of feed containing Golden Apple Snail (Pomacea canaliculata) meal and Azolla pinnata meal on the digestive organs of laying quails to determine the safety of using these two feed ingredients. The experiment used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four treatments and five replications, each replication consisting of four laying quails, and from each replication one bird was randomly selected for digestive-organ observation. The treatments were: P0, control feed without Golden Apple Snail or Azolla pinnata meal; P1, feed containing 10% Azolla pinnata meal; P2, feed containing 10% Golden Apple Snail meal; and P3, feed containing 10% Azolla pinnata meal and 10% Golden Apple Snail meal. Data were analyzed using a one-way CRD, and when significant differences were found, Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was applied. The results showed that inclusion of 10% Golden Apple Snail meal, 10% Azolla pinnata meal, or their combination in the diet of laying quails had no significant effect on the percentage weight of the ventriculus, liver, heart, or intestinal length, and all internal organs appeared normal. These findings indicate that Golden Apple Snail and Azolla pinnata are safe to use as alternative protein sources in quail feed.
