Judul: The production of “kereman” cattle in tlogohendro village, pekalongan, central java
Abstrak: Sapi potong menjadi salah satu komoditi utama petani di Tlogohendro, Kabupaten Pekalongan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi produksi sapi potong di Pekalongan, Jawa Tengah. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah survei ke lokasi yang telah ditentukan secara sengaja (purposive) yakni dusun yang memiliki sapi dengan jumlah rata-rata kepemilikan 2-4 ekor yang menerapkan pola kereman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jenis dan karakteristik dari dataran tinggi dan rendah secara signifikan mempengaruhi peternakan sapi potong yang mengakibatkan produksi sapi berbeda. Pemeliharaan dengan sistem kereman di Dusun Tlogo memiliki produktivitas yang lebih tinggi sehingga menghasilkan keuntungan yang lebih tinggi., Beef cattle become one of the main comodities of farmers in Tlogohendro of Pekalongan Regency as a source of family income and asset. This study was aimed to evaluate the production system and productivity of beef cattle in Pekalongan Central Java. The method used in this study was by conducting survey to some purposively determined locations which have at about 2-4 beef cattles and apply the “Kereman” system. The result showed that the types and characterictics of high and low land significantly influenced the beef cattle farming which resulted in different cattle production system and productivity. The beef cattle farming by using ‘kereman’ system, had higher productivity and also resulted in the higher benefit.

Judul: Evaluasi Penerapan Good Farming Practice pada Peternakan  Rakyat Sapi Potong di Situ Bolang Indramayu
Abstrak: Produktivitas ternak sapi potong domestik belum cukup untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dalam negeri. Sebanyak 90% peternakan sapi di Indonesia dikelola secara tradisional. Penelitian bertujuan mengevaluasi pengelolaan peternakan sapi potong di Peternakan Situ Bolang sesuai Peraturan Menteri Pertanian Republik Indonesia Nomor 46/Permentan/PK.210/8/2015 tentang Good Farming Practice untuk Sapi Potong. Penelitian menggunakan analisis deskriptif kualitatif wawancara kepada 33 responden menggunakan kuesioner dan pengamatan secara langsung. Hasil penelitian dapat dilihat dari nilai aspek Good Farming Practice yaitu pembibitan dan reproduksi, manajemen pakan, tata laksana pemeliharaan, perkandangan, dan kesejahteraan ternak. Penerapan GFP oleh peternak rakyat di Situbolang Indramayu mendapatkan nilai 2,05 tergolong dalam kategori sangat kurang., Domestic beef cattle productivity is not sufficient to meet domestic demand. As many as 90% of cattle farms in Indonesia are managed traditionally. The study aimed to evaluate the management of beef cattle farming in Situ Bolang Farm according to the Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 46/Permentan/PK.210/8/2015 about Good Farming Practice for Beef Cattle. The study used descriptive qualitative analysis of interviews with 33 respondents using questionnaires and direct observation. The results of the study can be seen from the value of aspects of breeding and reproduction, feed management, rearing procedures, cowshed, and animal welfare. Implementation of GFP by smallholder farmers in Situbolang Indramayu received a score of 2.05, which is classified as very lacking.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
