Abstrak: Pengembangan sektor ekonomi domestik diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kedaulatan pangan di Indonesia. Salah satu sasaran dari peningkatan kedaulatan pangan yaitu pengembangan 1000 Desa Pertanian Organik. Pengembangan 1000 Desa Pertanian Organik tidak akan berjalan dengan baik jika tidak adanya partisipasi petani yang beralih ke sistem pertanian organik. Tujuan dari penulisan ini adalah mengidentifikasi hubungan partisipasi dengan taraf hidup setelah mengikuti kegiatan pertanian organik. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk menggali fakta, data, dan informasi dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif yang didukung oleh data kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa petani berpartisipasi dalam pertanian organik. Namun dari segi taraf hidup setelah berpartisipasi dalam pertanian organik belum menunjukkan peningkatan taraf hidup yang signifikan dari hasil pertanian organik.

Abstrak: This study was conducted to get the hematology and blood biochemistry profile of Komodo dragons at Ragunan Zoo. A total of 18 adult dragons were used. Blood was drawn as much as 2 mL whole blood for hematology and 3 mL for blood biochemistry in serum. Hematology examinations were done by automatic hemavet® machine except differential leukocytes were done manually and blood biochemistry examinations were done by biosystem® machine. Examinations results of erythrocyte parameters of total erythrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, and MCHC in row are (1,24±0,21) × 106/mm3, (38,0±4,6) %, (13,3±1,6) g/dL, (311,4±49,9) fL, (109,4±18,7) pg, and (35,1±1,2) g/dL. Trombocytes count is (3,1±1.6) × 103/mm3 and erythrocyte sedimentation rate is (3,9 ± 1.7) mm/h. Leukocytes parameters indicate the values of total leukocytes, heterophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils in row are (6,53±9,47) × 103/mm3, (3,478±4,972) × 103/mm3, (2,959±4,694) × 103/mm3, (0,096±0,187) × 103/mm3, (0,00) /mm3, and (0,00) /mm3. Biochemical parameters indicate the values of total protein, albumin, globulin, AST, ALT, urea, and creatinine in row are (10,19±3,39) g/dL, (2,51±0,39) g/dL, (7,68±3,07) g/dL, (49,39±20,71) IU/L, (45,39±27,88) IU/L, (13,53±5,88) mg/dL, and (0,29±0,11) mg/dL. The result of examinations averagely showed values tend to normal. Some individual results demonstrated abnormalities which are suspected as acute infection in 1 dragon, foliculogenesis in 1 dragon, muscle disease in 2 dragons, and liver disease in 5 dragons.
