Judul: Kajian Kasus Kriptosporidiosis Pada Sapi Potong Di Kecamatan Ujung Jaya, Sumedang, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Kriptosporidiosis merupakan zoonosisyang disebabkan oleh protozoa spesiesCryptosporidium.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dan mengidentifikasi tingkat prevalensi infeksi C. parvum pada sapi potong di peternakan rakyat pada wilayah Kecamatan Ujung Jaya, Kabupaten Sumedang, Provinsi Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini memeriksa sampel feses sapi sebanyak 60 sampel dari 35 peternak. Berdasarkan umur ternak, 60 sampel tersebut terdiri atas 10 pedet, 9 sapi anakan, dan 41 sapi dewasa. Dan berdasarkan jenis kelamin, 60 sampel tersebut terdiri atas 46 sapi betina, dan 14 sapi jantan. Sampel diuji dengan metode pengapungan gula sheaterdan diamati di bawah mikroskop. Prevalensi Kriptosporidiosis di Kecamatan Ujung Jaya masih dalam kategori rendah (11.67%). Melalui analisis statistik didapat hasil bahwa umur dan jenis kelamin tidak meningkatkan prevalensi Kriptosporidiosis secara signifikan (P>0.05) baik pada pedet, anakan, atau sapi dewasa. Berdasarkan hasil deskriptif, prevalensi Kriptosporidiosis lebih tinggi pada sapi jantan (14.29%) daripada sapi betina (10.87%), juga pada sapi dewasa (7.32%) lebih rendah dari pada pedet (20%) dan sapi anakan (22.22%)

Judul: Prevalensi infeksi Cryptosporidium sp pada sapi potong di Kecamatan Cijulang dan Cimerak, Ciamis, Jawa Barat
Abstrak: Cryptosporidium sp is a parasite causes cryptosporidiosis in cattle. Cryptosporidiosis can be transmitted from animals to humans and vice versa (zoonosis). This research aimed to determine the prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp infection in cattle at Cijulang and Cimerak regency, Ciamis, West Java. Fecal specimens from 145 cattles of 77 farmers, consisted of 20 calves, 33 heifers and 92 adult cattles. Based on gender, the sample was consisted of 127 cows and 18 bulls. Sample of feces were examined by floating Sheather sugar and acid-fast staining method. Percentage prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp in Cimerak area (43.18%) was higher than in Cijulang area (14.29%). The result of statistical tests shows the prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp infection based on age and gender is no significant difference (P>0.05). However, based on the results of descriptive, prevalence infection of Cryptosporidium sp in cows (33.1%) was higher than in bulls (23%).

Judul: Aplikasi Puffing Gun dan Metode Ayakan Getar (Vibrating Mesh) Dalam Proses Pembuatan Berondong Beras dan Berondong Ketan Butiran Berlapis Gula
Abstrak: Puffing rice and puffed glutinous rice are the traditional snack commonly available in the market. The objectives of this research are, first, to determine the puffing time when using a puffing gun to puff the rice/glutinous rice grains. Second, to know the effect of moisture content of the grains to the physical properties of puffed rice and puffed glutinous rice. The next objective is to design a product of sugar coated puffed rice and puffed glutinous rice granules. The materials used were rice and glutinous rice and were conditioned to the moisture content of 14, 16, 18, and 20% wb. The quality parameters used were water losses, hardness, specific volume, and an organoleptic test for the preference. Puffed rice which has been puffed using the puffing gun then were coated with melted of sugar granules in a ratio of 1:1 (w/w), and then were vibrated using a vibrating mesh with 80 mm, 90 mm, and 100 mm amplitude. This process is carried out for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes. Results show that the moisture content the rice/glutinous rice grains significantly affect the puffing time, water losses, hardness, specific volume, and even the organoleptic preferences of the puffed rice/glutinous rice. Glutinous rice grain with 14% moisture content is the most preferred in terms of flavor, crispy, color, specific volume, texture, and taste. Vibration using amplitude 90 mm in 15 minutes is successfully can be used to produce sugar coated puffed rice granules.
