This study aimed to determine the effect of cutting age on biomass production and nutritional content of Cipelang grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Taiwan) in the seventh regrowth. The research was conducted in Naibonat Village RT. 22 RW. 08 East Kupang District Kupang Regency East Nusa Tenggara from April to August 2024. The tools used in this study included a measuring tape, a SF-400 digital scale with a capacity of 10 kg, scissors, and calipers. The materials used were Cipelang green grass and chemicals for laboratory analysis. The method used in this research is an experimental method (experiment) by using a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 3 treatments 4 replications. The treatments are: UP30 = 30-day cutting, UP60 = 60-day cutting, UP90 = 90-day cutting. The results showed that the highest fresh biomass production at 90 days cutting age was 76.92 tons/ha, the highest dry matter content at 90 days cutting age was 21.93%, the highest organic matter at 90 days cutting age was 85.28%, the highest crude fiber at 90 days cutting age was 25.31%, while the highest crude protein content at 30 days cutting age treatment was 12.18%. The results of statistical analysis showed that the cutting age treatment had a very significant effect (P <0.01) on fresh biomass production, dry matter content, organic matter, crude protein and crude fiber of Cipelang grass. It was concluded that biomass production, dry matter content, organic matter, crude fiber, were highly dependent on cutting age and increased with increasing cutting age. Crude protein content showed the opposite fact, which decreased with increasing cutting age and the best cutting age at 90 days.

Cattle feces can be used as poultry feed, but their utilization is limited due to their high crude fibre and low crude protein content. Therefore, innovation in the form of fermentation is needed, as it can break down crude fibre into more digestible compounds and increase crude protein. The purpose of this study was to examine the growth of KUB chickens fed with fermented cattle feces. This study used 100 DOC KUB chickens. The design used was a completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. Four treatments observed were R0: commercial ration (control), R1: commercial ration 90% + 10% fermented cattle feces, R2: commercial ration 80% + 20% fermented cattle feces, R3: commercial ration 70% + 30% fermented cattle feces. The observed variables were body weight gain (PBB), ration consumption, ration conversion and carcass weight. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA and followed by Duncan’s test to determine, if there were significant differences between treatments. The results of this study indicate that the provision of fermented cattle feces at a level of 20-30% in KUB chicken rations reduces ration consumption, body weight growth, ration efficiency, carcass weight and carcass percentage (P < 0.05). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the inclusion of fermented cattle feces in KUB chicken rations (up to 10%) provides good results for the growth of KUB chickens.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of substituting Kume Grass hay with maize fodder hay on the feeding behavior of Kacang Goats. Eight goats weighing 10–15 kg were used in a change-over design with four treatments and two periods as replicates. The treatments were: DMF0 (70% Kume Grass hay + 30% concentrate), DMF1 (52.5% Kume Grass hay + 17.5% maize fodder hay + 30% concentrate), DMF2 (35% Kume Grass hay + 35% maize fodder hay + 30% concentrate), and DMF3 (17.5% Kume Grass hay + 52.5% maize fodder hay + 30% concentrate). Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. Results showed that feeding time ranged from 4.5 to 7.0 hours/day, eating frequency from 6.3 to 12.8 times/day, rumination time from 3.6 to 5.1 hours/day, rumination frequency from 10.1 to 19.6 times/day, resting time from 13.1 to 14.5 hours/day, and resting frequency from 17.1 to 21.8 times/day. Statistical analysis revealed that the treatments significantly (P<0.05) affected feeding time, eating frequency, and resting frequency, but had no significant effect (P>0.05) on rumination time, rumination frequency, and resting time. In conclusion the substitution of Kume Grass hay with maize fodder hay up to 75% the eating duration, eating frequency and resting frequency, but it does not affect the rumination duration, rumination frequency and resting duration.

PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN SOPHIA (MINUMAN BER ALKOHOL) DAN LAMA SIMPAN YANG BERBEDA TERHADAP KUALITAS DAGING SE’I SAPI BETINA TUA (Effect of Using Sophia Use in Difeerent Storage Times on the Quality of Smoked Meat from Aged Cow Female Beef)

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using Sophia (alcoholic beverage) use in difeerent storage times on on the quality of smoked meat from aged cow female beef. This study used 36 kg of fresh old female beef, Sophia and saltpeter. The method used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) 4x4 factorial pattern. The two factors applied were: the factor of giving the level of Sophia use 0% (Control), 10%, 12%, 14%. The storage time factor was 3 days, 6 days, 9 days. Each treatment was repeated 3 times to obtain 36 experimental units. The parameters in this study were pH, total bacteria and organoleptic. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (Analysis of Variance / Anova). Organoleptic data were calculated using the Non-Parametric Kruskall-Wallist test method, if there were differences, continued with the Mann-Whitney test. The results showed a significant interaction between Sophia levels and storage duration on the pH of se'i meat, where the pH decreased on the 3rd day with a level of 14% Sophia. TPC increased from 1.03 X 102 on the 3rd day to 4.09 X 102 on the 6th day but decreased from 2.15 X 102 to 1.76 with the administration of Sophia. The conclusion is that the use of Sophia levels and storage duration factors for old female se'i meat has the potential to improve the quality of pH, total plate count (TPC) and organoleptic at the level of 10%-14% during storage.

PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN TEPUNG BAWANG PUTIH PADA RANSUM TERHADAP PRODUKTIVITAS AYAM PETELUR FASE LAYER UMUR 20 MINGGU (The Effect of Garlic Powder Supplementation in Feed on the Productivity of 20-Week-Old Laying Hens in the Layer Phase)

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding garlic powder to feed on the productivity of 20-week-old laying hens. This study was conducted in Wonorejo Village, Wates District, Kediri Regency, from January 26 to March 9, 2025. The research method used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments with 5 replicates, and each replicate consisted of 2 laying hens aged 20 weeks. The treatments were P0 with 0% garlic powder addition, P1 with 0.5% garlic powder addition, P2 with 1% garlic powder addition, and P3 with 1.5% garlic powder addition. The variables observed were feed intake, number of eggs, egg weight, and feed conversion. The results of this study indicate that the addition of garlic powder to the feed of 20-week-old laying hens has a significant effect on feed consumption, egg production, and feed conversion (P<0.05). Treatments P1 and P2 produced average feed consumption and egg weight that were not significantly different but higher than P0 and P3. The highest number of eggs was obtained in treatment P1, which showed a higher average than P0, P2, and P3. In addition, treatment P1 also showed the lowest feed conversion rate, indicating better feed utilization efficiency, because the lower the feed conversion rate, the higher the feed efficiency. The conclusion of this study shows that P1 produced the best production performance, as indicated by higher average feed consumption, number of eggs, and egg weight compared to P0, P2, and P3. In addition, the feed conversion ratio in P1 was also the most efficient because it showed a lower average than treatments P0, P2, and P3
