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...

This study aimed to determine the effect of storage length of Merawang chicken (Gallus gallus) egg on ferlitility, hatchability, hatching period, hatching weight and dead embrio. Experimental design used was completely randomized design. Non factorial with 6 treatments and 4 replications. Six different treatments on storage time namely: P 1: Storage of 1 day old, P 2: Storage of 3 days, P 3: Old Storage of 5 days, P 4: Storage of 7 days, P 5: Storage of 9 days, P 6: Storage of 11 days. Results showed that egg storage time did not significantly (P> 0.05) affect on fertility, hatchability and hatching time, but was highly significant (P <0.05) on weight at hatching DOC. The highest fertility treatment was found on P5 (79.17%) and the lowest was on P 4 (62.50%). The highest hatchability was P 5 (95.00%) and the lowest was P 6 (79.17%). The highest hatching time was P 6 (20.30) and the lowest was P 1 (19.95). The highest hatching weight was P 1 (37.50) and the lowest was P 6 (27.63) and the highest percentage of deaths embrio was P 6 (20.83) and the lowest were P 4 and P 5 equal to (5.00). It was concluded that the effect of storage time Merawang chicken (Gallus gallus) egg to hatchability no significant effect on fertility, hatchability and time and very significant effect on hatching w eight of DOC.

This study was aimed to investigate the performance of broiler chickens to the type and timing of rations which include feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion and carcass weight. Observation analysis was conducted in completely randomized factorial design 2 x 4 with three replications. Eighth treatments were the type and frequency of rationing namely: J1W0 treatment; kinds of rations 1 and ration ad libitum. J1W1 treatment; wide rationing rations 1 and 2 times were given at 06.00 and 18.00 pm. J1W2 treatment; wide rationing rations 1 and 3 times were done at 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 pm. J1W3 treatment; wide rationing rations 1 and 4 times were given at 06:00, 10:00, 14:00 and 18:00 pm. The results showed that the treatment types and frequency of rationing effect was not significant (P> 0.05) on feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion and carcass weight. Feed consumption were highest in J2W3: 3.597.81g and the lowest of 3.208.59g. Body weight gains were found the highest in J2W2: 2.101.81g and the lowest J1W2: 1.895,92g. Feed conversions were highest in J2W1: 1.84 and lowest price J1W1: 1.65. Carcass weights were highest in J2W2: 1627.33 and the lowest J1W1: 1365.33. It was concluded that the effect of various types and ad libitum feeding time, two times, three times, and four times did not give effect to the performance of broiler chickens.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui level ekstrak daun pepaya (Carica papaya L.) dalam air minum terhadap kinerja ayam arab jantan periode starter, parameter yang diamati konsumsi ransum, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi ransum, dan mortalitas. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret sampai dengan dengan Mei 2016 di Kelurahan Sidoarjo Kecamatan Lubuklinggau Barat II Kota Lubuklinggau. Digunakan 96 ekor DOC (Day Old Chicken) ayam arab silver jantan. Penelitian ini bersifat eksperimen dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) non faktorial terdiri dari 6 taraf perlakuan yang masing-masing perlakuan diulang 4 kali.Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara statistik dengan menggunakan analisis keragaman, dilanjutkan dengan uji Beda Nyata Terkecil (BNT). Keenam perlakuan dibedakan berdasarkan taraf pemberian ekstrak daun pepaya dalam air minum yaitu: P1=1 ml, P2=3 ml, P3=5 ml, P4=7 ml, P5=9 ml dan P0 sebagai kontrol. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penambahan ekstrak daun pepaya dalam air minum dengan taraf berbeda berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) terhadap parameter konsumsi ransum (P5=1766,62 gram/ekor vs P1=1391,70 gram/ekor) dan pertambahan bobot badan ayam arab jantan (P5=483,19 gram/ekor vs P1=328,75 gram/ekor), dan berpengaruh tidak nyata (P>0,05) terhadap angka konversi ransum. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan pada perlakuan P5 dengan penambahan ekstrak daun pepaya 9 ml dalam air minum memberikan hasil terbaik pada parameter konsumsi ransum dan pertambahan bobot ayam arab jantan.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui level ekstrak buah nanas (Ananas comosus L. Merr) dan lama perendaman terhadap kualitas daging itik afkir. Parameter yang diamati adalah pengaruh penambahan ekstrak buah nanas yang mengandung bromelin, lama perendaman dan interaksi antara kedua faktor terhadap susut masak, pH, kadar protein, kadar lemak dan kadar air daging itik afkir. Itik yang digunakan adalah 18 ekor itik Tegal umur 84 minggu. Sampel yang digunakan untuk uji susut masak, pH, kadar air,kadar lemak, dan kadar air adalah daging paha. Rancangan penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) Pola Faktorial 3 × 3, dengan faktor pertama penambahan ekstrak buah nanas (0%, 10%, 20%) dan faktor kedua lama perendaman (15, 30, 45 menit). Terdapat interaksi antara penambahan ekstrak buah nanas dan lama perendaman (P<0,01) pada kadar lemak dan (P<0,05) pada kadar protein. Penambahan ekstrak buah nanas dan lama perendaman dapat meningkatkan kadar protein daging itik afkir dan menurunkan kadar lemak daging itik afkir. Penambahan ekstrak buah nanas 10% dan waktu perendaman 30 menit menghasilkan kualitas daging itik yang terbaik karena mampu menurunkan kadar lemak dan meningkatkan kadar protein.
