Objective: The present study aimed to quantify the effects of fermented soybean meal (FSBM) on broiler chickens' performance by employing a meta-analysis approach.Methods: A total of 16 studies were included in the database after being systematically selected using a PRISMA protocol. Hedges' g effect size was used to quantify pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) using random-effects models at 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Publication bias among studies was computed with Egger's test and visualized using funnel plots.Results: Results indicated that dietary FSBM inclusion increased final body weight (BW) (SMD = 0.586, 95% CI: 0.221 to 0.951, pP = 0.002) of broiler chickens, particularly in starter period (SMD = 0.691, 95% CL: 0.149 to 1.233, pP = 0.013) while in the finisher period, the effect was weaker (SMD = 0.509, 95% CI: 0.015 to 1.004, pP = 0.043). Average daily gain (ADF), feed intake (FI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were not affected with FSBM inclusion when compared to control. Subgroup analysis revealed that FI increased in starter period (SMD = 0.582, 95% CI: 0.037 to 1.128, pP = 0.036). When considering types of microorganism as moderating variables in the subgroup analysis, we found that Aspergillus oryzae, mixed probiotics + bromelain protease, Bacillus subtilis, and Lactobacillus bacteria were significantly increased ADG and FI (pP < 0.01). Additionally, either Bacillus subtilis + protease or Bacillus subtilis alone decreased FCR (pP < 0.001). However, metaregression analysis showed that levels of FSBM inclusion had no effects on final BW (pP = 0.502), ADG (pP = 0.588), feed intake (pP = 0.861), and FCR (pP = 0.462). Conclusion:Substituting SBM in broiler chickens' diet with FSBM improved body weight of broiler chickens, especially in the starter period whereas the effects on ADG, FI, and FCR were mostly dependentd on microbial strains used for fermentation.

This study was aimed to determine the effect of dose of gamma radiation of seeds on plant growth and plant production of Brachiaria brizantha cv. MG5 during 3 different growth phases. The variables measured were plant growth parameters (height and length of plant, number of leaves and tillers) and production (dry matter and organic matter productions). Data were analyzed in a 5 x 3 factorial design. The first factor was dose of gamma radiation consisted of 5 levels i.e., 0, 100, 200, 300, and 400 Gy. The second factor was regrowth phase consisted of 3 levels i.e., growth phase 1, growth phase 2, and growth phase 3. The difference between means was analyzed using Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results showed that dose of gamma radiation influenced the plant growth and production (P<0.05) on different growth phases. The dose of 100 Gy gamma radiation showed the highest height and length, as well as dry matter and organic matter productions. The dose of 200 Gy gamma radiation showed the highest number of leaves and tillers. During regrowth phase 2, the grasses showed the highest of height, number of leaves and tillers, and organic matter production, while during regrowth phase 3, the grasses showed the highest length (P<0.05). There was an interaction between the dose of gamma radiation of seeds and regrowth phases on the growth and production of B. brizantha cv. MG5 (P<0.05). The dose of 100 Gy radiation of seeds and regrowth phase 2 gave the best interaction. In conclusion, the dose of 100 Gy radiation of seeds gave the best growth and production of B. brizantha cv. MG5 during regrowth phase 2.

This research aimed to determine the comparation of production and financial analysis of broiler farm with close house and open house farm system in partnership patterns. This research was conducted on August 2019 in Surakarta. The variable measured were feed intake, average of final body wieght, average slaughter age, depletion, Feed Convertion Ratio (FCR), Performance Index (PI), Average daily gain (ADG), R/C Ratio and income. Data were analysed descriptively. The result shows the difference between broiler farm with close house and open house farm system in partnership patterns. The result showed that feed intake, PI, ADG, R/C Ratio of  broiler farm with open house system were higher than that of close house system. Farmer income per production with open house system is higher (Rp. 4,334) than that of close house system (Rp. 4,001). In conclusion, broiler farm with open house system in partnership patterns is more beneficial than close house system. Key words : broiler, closed house, income, open house.

The purpose of this research was to study the effect of cricket flour addition on production performance of quail including: feed consumption, egg production, and feed convertion. There were 240 female of quail  selected at 47 days of age which were divided into four treatments including: 100 % of basal feed (P0), 95% of basal feed + 5% of  cricket flour (P1) , 90% of basal feed + 10% of cricket flour (P2), 85% of basal feed + 15% of cricket flour (P3). The research method used was experiment using completely random design. The obtained data were analyzed by Anova (Analysis of variance), if there was significant different it would be tested by Duncan's Multipel range test (DMRT). The results of this research showed that the addition of cricket flour on feed give a significantly different on (P<0.01) feed consumption, egg production, and feed conversion. The highest to the lowest of feed consumption was T3 (23.83 ± 0.09d), T2 (23.62 ± 0.05c ), T1 (23.41 ± 0.11b), T0 (23.21 ± 0.08a); the highest to the lowest of HDP was T3 (91.01 ± 2.09c), T2 (87.68 ± 3.06b), T1(86.13 ± 5.51b), T0 (79.71 ± 4.58a); the highest to the lowest of egg mass was T3 (8.65 ± 0.20b), T2(8.33 ± 0.29b), T1 (8.19 ± 0.52b), T0(7.57 ± 0.44a); the highest to the lowest of feed conversion was T0 (3.09 ± 0.19c), T1(2.89 ± 0.19b), T2 (2.85 ± 0.10ab), T3 (2.76 ± 0.06a). The conclusions of this research was that the addition of cricket flour in feed can improve performance production of quail. The best treatment was T3 with the addition of 15% cricket flour in feed it is advisable toget the best results should be used cricket flour respectively15% in feed and used basal feed in mash to feed can be mixed perfectly with cricket flour. Keywords : cricket flour, quail, quail performance.
