Judul: Tingkat Pengetahuan Tenaga Medik Veteriner Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian Tanjung Priok Terhadap Lumpy Skin Disease
Abstrak: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) merupakan penyakit menular pada hewan ruminansia khususnya sapi yang disebabkan oleh virus. LSD masuk dan menyebar ke suatu daerah atau negara melalui perpindahan hewan ternak, khususnya perdagangan. Keberadaan karantina hewan di pintu masuk suatu daerah sangat penting dalam mencegah masuk dan menyebarnya penyakit hewan menular, salah satunya Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian Tanjung Priok. Oleh karena itu, tenaga medik veteriner karantina diharapkan memiliki pengetahuan terkait penyakit hewan menular dan zoonosis. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan tenaga medik veteriner karantina terhadap LSD. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan penyebaran kuesioner dalam bentuk Google form yang dibagikan kepada seluruh tenaga medis veteriner meliputi paramedis veteriner dan dokter hewan Balai Besar Pertanian Tanjung Priok. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif dan disajikan dalam bentuk tabel. tenaga medis veteriner terdiri dari dokter hewan (54,6%) dan paramedis (45,4%) yang sebagian besar berjenis kelamin perempuan (54,6%). Hampir seluruh dokter hewan telah lulus dengan gelar magister (86,1%), sedangkan paramedis umumnya diploma (83,3%). Tingkat pengetahuan tenaga medik veteriner tentang karakteristik virus, transmisi, gejala klinis, tindakan pengendalian LSD sudah baik, sehingga dapat disimpulkan seluruh tenaga medis veteriner Balai Besar Karantina Pertanian Tanjung Priok memiliki pengetahuan yang baik tentang lumpy skin disease.

Judul: Knowledge, Attitudes Practices of Cattle Farmers in Banjar Kertarahayu village towards Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD)
Abstrak: Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) merupakan penyakit menular pada sapi yang disebabkan oleh virus famili poxviridae dengan tingkat morbiditas 45% dan mortalitas mencapai 10%. LSD telah menjangkiti ternak sapi di Indonesia termasuk di Desa Banjar Kertarahayu, Kecamatan Way Pengubuan, Kabupaten Lampung Tengah. Peternak memiliki peran dalam upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian LSD sehingga pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik peternak yang tepat sangat diperlukan dalam pengendalian penyakit ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi tingkat pengetahuan, sikap dan praktik peternak sapi di Desa Banjar Kertarahayu terhadap upaya pengendalian Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD). Data diperoleh dengan mewawancarai 30 Peternak sapi di Desa Banjar Kertarahayu menggunakan kuisioner terstruktur. Data dianalisis dengan metode analisis deskriptif dengan teknik scoring berdasarkan skala likert dan skala guttman . Data hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan dan sikap terhadap LSD berada pada kategori sedang dan praktik peternak termasuk dalam kategori kurang., Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) is an infectious disease in cattle caused by a virus from the poxviridae family with a morbidity rate of 45% and a mortality rate of up to 10%. LSD has infected cattle in Indonesia, including in Banjar Kertarahayu Village, Way Pengubuan District, Central Lampung Regency. Farmer have a role in prevent and control LSD so that the appropriate knowledge, attitudes and practices of farmers are necessary in controlling the disease. This research aims to identify the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices of cattle farmers in Banjar Kertarahayu Village regarding efforts to control Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD). Data was obtained by interviewing 30 cattle breeders in Banjar Kertarahayu Village using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis methods with scoring techniques based on the Likert scale and Guttman scale. The result shows that the level of knowledge and attitudes towards LSD is in the medium category and farmers practices are in the poor category.

Abstrak: Iron oxide and iron oxide-activated carbon magnetic composites have been prepared by co-precipitation method at temperature 70oC. The magnetic composite were prepared with ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 by weight. The magnetic composites were made to obtain adsorbent which can be responsive to magnetic field so that it can be separated by simple magnetic procedure. The result from X-ray diffraction characterization showed a similarity of diffraction peak of iron oxide and magnet composite with specific peak in PCDFWIN program data base no 11-0614, which is iron oxide of magnetite (Fe3O4). Magnetization value of iron oxide and magnetic composites measured by vibrating sample magnetometer were 76.59, 25.6, 18.9, and 11 emu/g, respectively. Magnetization value decreased due to the lowering iron oxide fraction in the sample. Characterization using scanning electron microscope showed little particle of iron oxide. Microstructure of activated carbon showed large pores, while magnetic composite revealed iron oxide particles that cover and surround on the pores of the activated carbon. Surface area measured by Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller equipment showed decreasing surface areas of the activated carbon after composited with iron oxide. Adsorption experiment showed that higher Cs and Sr adsorption capacity occured at adsorbent 0.0125 g and initial concentration 200 ppm. Optimum pH for Cs adsorption occured at pH 7, while that of Sr adsorption was lower at pH 6.
