The utilization of bean sprout waste as a sheep feed in order to reduce waste pollution in Indonesian Traditional Market

Bean sprout waste is scalp of bean sprout that usually removed before being so ld to the consumers. Bean sprout is always available in large quantities in Indonesian traditional market because Indonesian people frequently use it as a food . In the other hand, bean sprout waste is considered useless so that many people do not utilize it. The objective of this study was to identify potential of bean sprout waste as sheep feed. In fact, the results of proximate analysis showed that bean sprout waste contains 13.6% protein and 49% crude fiber which are good to be used as sheep feed. The nutrient content of bean sprout waste is also better than concentrate (feed which often used for sheep feed). The advantages of using bean spro ut as a sheep feed could make daily weight gain of sheep equal with using concentrate. The study showed that 50 kg of bean sprouts waste could produce 1 kg of meat. This indicates that bean sprout waste is very good to be used as sheep feed . The use of bean sprouts waste has many advantages such as for feeding sheep, at once reducing environmental pollution and also it does not compete with human food needs

Improving pulse crops as a source of protein, starch and micronutrients

Pulse crops have been known for a long time to have beneficial nutritional profiles for human diets but have been neglected in terms of cultivation, consumption and scientific research in many parts of the world. Broad dietary shifts will be required if anthropogenic climate change is to be mitigated in the future, and pulse crops should be an important component of this change by providing an environmentally sustainable source of protein, resistant starch and micronutrients. Further enhancement of the nutritional composition of pulse crops could benefit human health, helping to alleviate micronutrient deficiencies and reduce risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. This paper reviews current knowledge regarding the nutritional content of pea (Pisum sativum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba L.), two major UK pulse crops, and discusses the potential for their genetic improvement

Kejadian Hujan Asam di Kabupaten Bogor dan Retensi Timbal pada Domba Lokal yang Diberi Ransum Berkadar Timbal Tinggi

The objectives of this research were: 1) to find out whether acid rain has taken place in Bogor Regency area and its effect on the lead (Pb) content in soil and roughage in the region, 2) to predict the correlation of Pb content in rain water and soil, and the content of Pb in roughage in the Bogor regency area, 3) to study the impact of acid and Pb content in the ration to sheep daily gain and measure Pb content in liver, kidney and meat. The results showed that in Bogor regency area the acid rain occurred during the dry season but not in the wet season. The Pb content in the rainwater and soil were not affected by acid rain. There was no correlation of Pb content between soil and roughage. Acid containing ration decreased daily gain, but not for the ration of high Pb-content. Acid containing ration increased Pb content in the kidney but not in the liver and meat. However, high Pb content in the ration increased the Pb content in the liver and kidney but not in the meat. Key words: acid rain, Pb, Bogor, local shee

Kecernaan Nutrien dan Status Fisiologis Domba Akhir Kebuntingan dengan Ransum Flushing Minyak Sawit dan Minyak Lemuru: Nutrient Digestibility and Physiological Status of Late Pregnancy Ewe fed with Flushing Diet Containing Palm Oil and Lemuru Oil

The objective of this study was to evaluate nutrient digestibility and physiological status of local sheep at late pregnancy fed with flushing diet containing palm oil, lemuru oil, and their combination. In this research, the livestock used were 12 female local sheep at late pregnancy with an average body weight of 43.58 ± 5.57 kg were placed in metabolic cages. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with 4 treatments and 3 block replications. The treatments were P1 = control ration (30% grass + 70% concentrate), P2 = control ration + 6% palm oil supplementation, P3 = control ration + 3% lemuru oil and 3% palm oil supplementation, P4 = control ration + 6% lemuru oil supplementation. The feed consumption, nutrient digestibility, and physiological status were measured in this study. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA. Means values differences were analyzed using Duncan test. The results showed that the addition of palm oil and lemuru oil to the concentrate diet increased (p<0.05) crude fat consumption, dry matter digestibility, and crude fat digestibility, but decreased (p<0.05) Nitrogen free extract consumption. Addition of palm oil and lemuru oil on the concentrate diet had no significant effect on dry matter consumption, crude protein consumption, crude fiber consumption, crude protein digestibility, crude fiber digestibility, Nitrogen free extract digestibility, and TDN value. The treatments did not affect significantly  on physiological status. It can be concluded that the use of 6% palm oil in the ration can increase crude fat consumption and crude fat digestibility in pregnant ewes.

Silage Quality, Rumen Fermentation Characteristics, and Nutrient Digestibility of Sorghum bicolor cv. Samurai 1 Harvested at Different Maturity Stages Treated with Fibrolytic Enzyme

The Samurai 1 variety is a genetically mutated strain with superior agronomic characteristics and enhanced nutrient content. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of harvest maturity stages and fibrolytic enzyme (Sunsonzyme) treatment on the nutrient value, fermentative quality, and nutrient digestibility of Sorghum bicolor cv. Samurai 1 silage. The silage quality was assessed using a completely randomized design with a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement. Sorghum was harvested at three different maturity stages, namely 85, 90, and 95 days, with fibrolytic enzyme added at 0%, 0.025%, and 0.05% of the dry matter. In vitro fermentability and digestibility were evaluated using a randomized block factorial design, which was also based on the same three harvest stages and enzyme levels. Observed variables included the nutrient composition of the sorghum, physical characteristics and nutrient content of the silage, as well as in vitro fermentability and digestibility. The results showed a significant interaction between harvest maturity and enzyme level on lactic acid production and total volatile fatty acid (VFA). Harvest age significantly affected (p<0.05) all variables, while the treatment of fibrolytic enzyme significantly increased ammonia (NH₃) and total VFA concentrations, as well as reduced the fiber fraction of the silage (p<0.05). The harvest age of 90 days showed the best quality in terms of nutrients, silage, and rumen fermentability. The addition of enzyme levels up to 0.05% improved the fermentative quality of silage, reduced fiber fractions, and enhanced rumen fermentability
