Gis-Based Multi-Criteria Land Suitability Analysis For Five Tropical Forage Legumes In Highland Agroecosystems, Cori Qamara, Dwi Yuzaria, Fuad Madarisa, Anugrah Budiarsa

Jurnal Ilmu Ternak Universitas Padjadjaran

In this study, GIS-based land suitability analysis is used to optimize the cultivation of forage for goat production in Limapuluh Kota Regency, West Sumatra. We assessed five important forages—cassava, Calliandra calothyrsus, Gliricidia sepium, Sesbania grandiflora, and Leucaena leucocephala—by incorporating a multi-criteria evaluation (including slope, soil characteristics, and climate conditions). Results show clear agroecological niches: cassava flourishes extensively, even on marginal lands, C. calothyrus and G. sepium need specific adaptations to soil and climate, Sesbania grandiflora excels as a high-protein choice in various zones, whereas Leucaena leucocephala requires strict geographic targeting. Processing protocols (sun-drying, co-feeding) and species-specific …

Tenderness Level And Sensory Analysis Of Buffalo Meltique Meat Injected With Various Oils And Papain, Mohammad Yudhistira, Astari Apriantini, Zakiah Wulandari

Jurnal Ilmu Ternak Universitas Padjadjaran

Buffalo meat has a high nutritional value but tends to have a tough texture, making it less popular with consumers. Therefore, processing methods such as the meltique technique are needed to tenderize buffalo meat. The aim of this study was to evaluate the tenderness and sensory characteristics of buffalo meltique meat injected with different types of fats (beef tallow, Wagyu fat, coconut oil, and palm oil) combined with papain enzyme. The meltique technique, involving fat emulsion injection, enhances meat marbling and tenderness. Papain, a proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya extract, was applied to improve meat texture by breaking down myofibril …

The Different C/N Ratio Of Quail Feces And Rice Straw Mixture Affects Temperature Change, Microbial Count, Organic-C Content, And Total N Content In Early Decomposition Results, Ani Priyati, Endang Sujana, Mieke Setiawati, Anas Anas

Jurnal Ilmu Ternak Universitas Padjadjaran

Livestock waste is one of the factors that must be considered in livestock farming, as it can cause environmental pollution. Quail feces, a type of livestock waste, generally has a low carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, necessitating the supplementation of carbon source from rice straw. Rice straw, which contains high fiber content, is often discarded or burned and has not been utilized by farmers, even though it is suitable for processing into solid or liquid organic fertilizer (POC). Because of the substantial changes in temperature and microbial composition that occur during the composting process, initial breakdown is critical. Using native microbes from quail …

Heat Stress Response In Dairy Cattle, Olga Tessalonika, Nyimas Popi Indriani, Nyimas Popi Indriani, Mansyur Mansyur

Jurnal Ilmu Ternak Universitas Padjadjaran

Indonesia is a tropical country with high ambient temperatures and humidity. In Indonesia’s hot and humid summer, dairy cows cannot dissipate enough body heat to prevent a rise in their body temperature. Increasing air temperature, temperature humidity index, and rectal temperature above a critical threshold are associated with decreased dry matter intake (DMI), milk production, and milk production efficiency. Modifications including shades and cooling fans can help dissipate body heat, lower body temperature, and increase BMI. Genetic selection for heat tolerance is possible, but continued selection for better performance without consideration for heat tolerance will result in greater susceptibility to …
