Abstract.Rubber from Hevea brasiliensis is the only commercial natural rubber in the world. Propagation of rubber trees usually done by grafting and seed germination. BPPT had been producing rubber tree by in vitro technique with embryo somatic methods. Validation of mother plant for in vitro propagation is important to compare between mother plant and propagated plants. The aim for this research was to validation of PB 260 clone that planted at Cikumpay Plantation by SSR marker. Sampling of 10 rubber leaves were done at Cikumpay Plantation based on GPS position from the area of PB 260 clone. Rubber leaves were isolated with CTAB modification method to obtained DNA. Four of SSR primers from rubber, i.e.: hmac 4, hmac 5, hmct 1, and hmct 5, were used as primers to amplification of rubber DNA. The result showed that no band that different from 10 rubber of PB 260 clone at Cikumpay Plantation. This research will continue to compare genomic validation between mother plant and propagated plants that had been produced from BPPT.

This paper aims to discuss the results of the assessment of cattle feed technology to accelerate the increase of beef production as a source of animal protein. Ministry of Health reported that in 2015 there are 404 districts/cities in Indonesia who suffer from malnutrition. The condition of malnutrition in Indonesia is also happening in children less than 5 years old which is the future of this nation which is classified as very apprehensive. Based on the value of the Global Hunger Index (GHI) in 2016, Indonesia falls into the category of serious hunger. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the fulfillment of food requirement from livestock protein sources will be deficit because the demand level is 3.61% higher than the average production rate of 1.54%. It is estimated that by 2024 there will be a shortage of 1.045 million tons of beef supply, with the share of domestic meat production decrease to 52.25%. Compared to other countries in ASEAN, beef consumption in Indonesia is very low. Beef consumption levels in Malaysia or Singapore have reached about 15 kg/capita/year, while Indonesia consumes only about 2.2 kg/capita/year. Therefore, the Agency for Assessment and Application of Technology in accordance with its competence conduct assessment one of them is animal feed technology. The assessment of cattle feed technology was done through a cattle-palm oil integration model using raw materials from leaf/branch, by product and decanter solid that can be utilized for cheap, easy and quality animal feed to increase the population and beef production. Fulfillment of community protein needs, is expected to affect the healthier society and educate the nation. Key Words: Feed Technology, Cattle-Palm Integration, Animal Protein ABSTRAKMakalah ini bertujuan untuk membahas hasil pengkajian teknologi pakan ternak sapi untuk mempercepat peningkatan produksi daging sapi sebagai sumber protein hewani. Kementerian Kesehatan melaporkan bahwa pada tahun 2015 terdapat 404 kabupaten/kota di Indonesia yang mengalami gizi buruk. Kondisi kekurangan gizi di Indonesia banyak pula terjadi pada anak balita yang merupakan masa depan bangsa ini yang tergolong sudah sangat memprihatinkan. Berdasarkan atas nilai Global Hunger Index (GHI) pada tahun 2016, Indonesia termasuk dalam kategori kelaparan serius. Menurut Kementerian Pertanian, pemenuhan kebutuhan pangan sumber protein asal ternak akan terus mengalami defisit yang semakin membengkak karena laju permintaan (demand) sebesar rata-rata 3,61% yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan laju produksi sebesar rata-rata sebesar 1,54%. Diprediksi pada tahun 2024 akan terjadi kekurangan pasokan daging sapi sebesar 1,045 juta ton dengan share produksi daging dalam negeri yang semakin menurun menjadi sebesar 52,25%. Dibandingkan dengan negara-negara lain di ASEAN, konsumsi daging sapi di Indonesia termasuk sangat rendah. Tingkat konsumsi daging sapi di Malaysia atau Singapura sudah mencapai sekitar 15 kg/kapita/tahun, sementara Indonesia hanya mengkonsumsi sekitar 2,2 kg/kapita/tahun. Oleh...
