Judul: Korelasi antara Umur dengan Bobot Badan dan Body Condition Score (BCS) di Pedagang Lapak Hewan Kurban di Daerah Lampung
Abstrak: Bobot badan dan Body Condition Score (BCS) ternak merupakan indikator yang sangat penting dalam pemilihan hewan kurban. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisa hubungan umur dengan bobot badan dan BCS pada hewan kurban. Jenis dan jumlah hewan kurban yang digunakan adalah 10 ekor sapi, 8 ekor domba dan 333 ekor kambing dengan peubah yang diukur dan diamati berupa bangsa ternak, umur ternak, bobot badan ternak, dan BCS ternak. Hubungan antara umur dengan bobot badan dan BCS pada ternak diamati dengan metode korelasi rank Spearman. Koefisien korelasi pada domba antara umur dengan bobot badan sebesar 1.00 dan umur dengan BCS sebesar 1.00. Koefisien korelasi pada kambing antara umur dengan bobot badan sebesar 0.713 dan umur dengan BCS sebesar 0.743. Korelasi tersebut menunjukkan bahwa umur dengan bobot badan dan BCS pada ternak domba memiliki korelasi yang sangat kuat dan pada ternak kambing memiliki korelasi kuat., Body weight and Body Condition Score (BCS) are important indicators in the selection of Kurban animals. This research aim to analyze the correlation between age with body weight and body condition score in Kurban animals. The Kurban animals used were 10 beef cattles, 8 sheeps and 333 goats with measured and observed variables such as breed, age, body weight and body condition score (BCS). Correlation between age with body weight and BCS was observed by the Spearmann rank correlation method. The coefficient of correlation between age with body weight was 1.00 and with BCS was 1.00 in sheep. The correlation coefficient between age and body weight was 0.713, while with BCS was 0.743 in goat. The correlation shows that age with body weight and body condition score in sheep have a very strong correlation and strong correlation in goat.

Judul: Profil Body Condition Score (BCS) Sapi Perah di Wilayah Koperasi Peternakan Sapi Bandung Utara (KPSBU) Lembang (Studi Kasus)
Abstrak: Body Conditon Score (BCS) is a method to define or interpret the livestock’s weight and its physiological state. This case study was conducted in Sukajaya which belongs to the area of North Bandung Dairy Farmer Cooperation by observing the condition of dairy cattle types Friesian Holstein. A hundred lavtation of dairy cattle was used in this case study.The scoring was based on 1(emaciated) to 5(very fat) by the interval degree of 0.25. In Sukajaya farming society, the body condition score at the early fase of lactation was 3.106+0.354, then decrease at the peak milk fase 2.981+0.268. This score will increase gradually on the next months. The decreasing of BCS happened due to the high milk production which was not accompanied with enough feed, therefore the body fat reserves which were deposited on the observed parts decreased. This body fat was used for another energy sources except from feed. Generally The body condition score was 3.500+0.315 for dry off period in Sukajaya.

Judul: Pemurnian dan karakterisasi protein inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C
Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.
