The objectives of this study are to determine the levels of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, ratio C / N, and the best composition of the addition of activators MOL banana weevil and EM4 from the composting. Growth and the first harvests of Setaria grass by fertilizing compost from composting results were also observed. The statistical method used is Complete Random Design (CRD), which consists of 6 treatments and 4 replications; namely: A1 = 25 ml MOL / 5 kg of compost material (feces + coffee Pulp), A2 = 30 ml MOL / 5 kg of compost material (feces + coffee Pulp), A3 = 35 ml MOL / 5 kg of compost material (feces + coffee Pulp), A4 = 25 ml EM4 / 5 kg of compost material (feces + coffee Pulp), A5 = 30 ml EM4 / 5 kg of compost material (feces + coffee Pulp), A6 = 35 ml EM4 / 5 kg of compost material (feces + coffee Pulp). Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and a further test by HSD. The results showed that the addition of activators MOL banana weevil and EM4 in the composting process was highly significant (P <0.01) on P-total, K-total, the number of tillers first crop of Setaria grass, but the effect was not significant (P> 0.05) against N-total, C / N and heavy wet Setaria grass of first crop canopy. It was concluded that the addition of activators MOL banana weevil as much as 35 ml MOL / 5 kg of compost material (feces + coffee hull; A3) gives the best results on nutrient (P-total and K-total), number of tillers and wet weight of the canopy on Setaria grass (Setaria splendida Stapf).Key words: Activators, Compost, Grass Setaria (Setaria splendida Stapf). ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan kadar Nitrogen, Posfor, Kalium, ratio C/N dan komposisi yang optimal dari penambahan aktivator MOL bonggol pisang dan EM4 hasil pengomposan. Kompos hasil penelitian diaplikasikan pada tanaman rumput setaria (Setaria splendida Stapf) dan dilakukan pengamatan terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil panen pertama. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak lengkap (RAL) yang terdiri dari 6 perlakuan dan 4 ulangaan, yaitu : A1 = 25 ml MOL / 5 kg bahan kompos (feses +kulit kopi), A2 = 30 ml MOL / 5 kg bahan kompos (feses +kulit kopi), A3 = 35 ml MOL / 5 kg bahan kompos (feses +kulit kopi), A4 = 25 ml EM4 / 5 kg bahan kompos (feses +kulit kopi), A5 = 30 ml EM4 / 5 kg bahan kompos (feses +kulit kopi), A6 = 35 ml EM4 / 5 kg bahan kompos (feses +kulit kopi). komposisi kimia dari kompos serta pertumbuhan rumput setaria (Setaria splendida Stapf) juga diteliti dalam penelitian ini dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perlakuan, data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan analisa sidik ragam dan uji lanjut BNJ. Hasil penelitian dengan penambahan aktivator MOL bonggol pisang dan EM4 menunjukkan berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) terhadap P-total, K-total, jumlah anakan panen pertama rumput setaria dan berpengaruh tidak nyata (P>0.05) terhadap N-total, C/N dan berat basah tajuk panen pertama rumput setaria. Penambahan aktivator MOL bonggol pisang sebanyak 35 ml MOL /5 kg bahan kompos (feses + kulit kopi; A3) memberikan ha...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of supplemented curcumin (Curcuma longa) and red ginger (Zingiber officinale) on hematological values of broilers. Three hundred twenty one-day-old broilers were randomly distributed into 8 treatment groups with 4 replicates (pens) of 10 chicks each. The treatment diets were control groups (T01=basal diet and T02=basal diet + bacitracin), and treatment diets supplemented with curcumin (C1, C2, and C3), and supplanted with ginger (Z1, Z2 and Z3). Results showed that PVCs and hemoglobin level of the chickens fed treatment diets increased significantly (P<0.05) compare to the control diets, and the erythrocytes of the chickens fed diet supplemented with ginger increased significantly (P<0.05) compared to the control in period I (21 days of age) but no significant differences in Period II (34 days of age). Furthermore, treatment diets had no effect on erythrocyte indices of MCHC and MCV (P>0.05). However, dietary inclusion of the addition of ginger significantly decreased MCH in period I (P<0.05), but no significant differences were observed in period II. Furthermore, the treatment diets had significantly lower leucocytes and heterophils/lymphocytes ratios (P<0.05) than the control diets, but no significant differences were investigated in the percentage of differential leucocytes of eosinophils and basophils. In conclusion, the use of curcumin and ginger up to the level of 1.5% indicated the potentcy of improving the general health status of broilers. They have been able to improve the hematological values, and reduce the stress level of the chickens.

The  research  was  conducted  to  evaluate  the  effects  of  domestication  of  Sambar  deer  (Cervus unicolor)  on  performance  and  hematological  values.  One  captive  Sambar  deer  was  housed  in  an individual cages fitted on a slatted floor of 2 x 3 m2 . The diet was consisted of field grasses, legume and forages  given  ad  libitum  and  sweat  potatoes.  The  data  were  collected  during  a  two-month  period following a one-month adaptation period; The feed and the residues were collected daily, and the blood samples for hematological values were collected via jugular vein. The data were obtained three times; at the beginning (0 month), in the middle (1 month), and in the end (2 months) of the trial. The performance results showed  that BW  in  the  three respective  times were 12.17, 15.60 and 19.40 kg; ADG in  the  first and the second month respectively ware 115 dan 127 gr/d; Total of DM consumption were 987 and 1216 gr/d;  and  the  percentage  of DM/BW  were  6,33  dan  6,27%.  The  following  averages  of  hematological values were obtained: erythrocytes 8,4, 7,9 dan 7,9 million/ml;  Hemoglobin 11,4, 11,2 and 13,2 gr/100 ml;    PCV  0,62,  0,57  and  0.50%;  Leukosytes  14750,  11547  and  9721/ml;  pH  7,34,  7,45  and  7,40, respectively.  Finally,  Sambar  deer  as  the  wild  animals  have  prospective  values  when  they  are domesticated and intensively cared.

Effects of the environmental temperatures on nutrient oxidation were evaluated in male broiler  chickens.  The  chickens  were  allocated  into twelve  cages  with  six  chickens  per  cage during  the  first  week  and  three  chickens  in  the  following  five  weeks  of  experiment.  The temperatures  were  set  on  T0  =  21o C,  T1  =  24oC,  and  T2  =  28oC.  A  22  to  24$hour$respiration measurement  was  made  in  the  middle  of  each  five$day  collection  period  using  an  open$air circulation  respiration  unit.  The  results  showed  that  the  increase  of  temperature  decreased protein  (OXP)  and  fat  oxidation  (OXF;  P<0.05),  but there  was  no  difference  (P>0.05)  on carbohydrate  oxidation  (OXCHO).  Lipogenesis  from  carbohydrate  made  up  the  main constitution (69 to 78%) to  the total fat retention. In contrast, fat retention from  protein (8.8 to 9.6)  was  the  minor  contribution,  and  there  was  no  difference  (P<0.05)  among  the  groups. Furthermore,  the  conversion  of  dietary  fat  to  the  fat  retention  was  increased  (12.1  to  21.4) following the increase of the environment temperature. In conclusion, the temperature range of 21 to 28oC used was still in the tolerable hot zone since the oxidation of protein, carbohydrate and  fat  were  not  influenced.  However,  the  utilization  of  protein  and  fat  depended  on  the environmental temperature except for carbohydrate.
