Judul: Penyebab Kematian Pedet Serta Dampak Terhadap Perkembangan Populasi Sapi Sabah Sahiwal Friesian (Studi Kasus Di Stasiun Pembiakan Ternakan JPHPT Sebrang, Keningau, Sabah, Malaysia)
Abstrak: The aim of this study was to know the causes of mortality in Sabah Sahiwal Friesien (SSF) calves and its impact towards the population development of SSF cattle. The main causes and their percentages observed at the Stasiun Pembiakan Ternakan Jabatan Perkhidmatan Haiwan dan Perusahaan Ternak (JPHPT) in Sebrang Keningau, Sabah, Malaysia was hairball (21,71%), lethargy (17,43%), cachexia (13,16%), bloat (9,87%), diarrhea (9,21%), dehydration (8,22%) and pneumonia (7,90%). The most significant causes of mortality revealed a serious problem with hygiene in stationary enclosures and feeding management. Mortality of juveniles decreases the slope of the replacement line, and causes changes in the slope of the stock. Replacement stock is cattle that are grown on farm to replaced oldes, less productive cows, and bulls. With better calf management in regard to hygiene, surveillance, and control of milk off-take, overall calf survival may be increased and the station’s production made more profitable.

Judul: Penampilan reproduksi sapi perah ras Sabah Sahiwal Friesian (SSF) (studi kasus di Stesen Pembiakan Ternakan Sebrang, Keningau Sabah Malaysia)
Abstrak: Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari manajemen pemeliharaan sapi perah ras Sabah Sahiwal Friesien (SSF), dan mengetahui berbagai masalah yang sering muncul dalam pemeliharaan sapi perah SSF, dampak yang ditimbulkan, serta upaya mencari solusinya. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah dengan menggunakan studi deskritif melalui data primer (kuisioner) dan data sekunder yang diperoleh dari Stesen Pembiakan Ternakan Sebrang JPHPT Keningau, Sabah. Data populasi yang diperolehi pada tahun 2009, 2010 dan 2011 masing-masing sebesar 215, 240, dan 130 ekor sapi perah ras SSF. Data kelahiran bagi ketiga tahun tersebut masing-masing adalah 123, 106 dan 62 ekor anak sapi ras SSF dengan data kematian masing-masing sebanyak 62, 57, dan 109 ekor sapi perah SSF. Metode perkawinan untuk ras sapi SSF ini lebih banyak menggunakan sistem inseminasi buatan (IB) dibanding kawin alam. Masalah reproduksi tidak banyak ditemukan di stesen ini, namun diantara penyebab kematian tinggi pada stok replacement maupun induk produksi sapi perah SSF adalah masalah nutrisi dan manajemen kandang.

Judul: Synthesis of Molybdenum Trioxide (MoO3) by Electrochemical Method for Electrochromics Application
Abstrak: Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) thin films have been deposited on glass substrates by electrochemical method using ammonium heptamolybdate tetrahydrate ((NH4)6Mo7O244H2O). The films were deposited onto glass substrates as the control temperature at 25○C and annealing treatment at 350○C for 30 mins. The MoO3 thin films were investigated by UV-Vis, X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The JCPDS card show that orthorhombic MoO3 (α- phase) has been formed. Molybdenum trioxide MoO3 formation was also confirmed by JCPDS card no. 35-0609. The SEM photographs revealed that the spherical and rod-like morphology and their grains size increased with increasing of heating temperatures. The measurement results show that the MoO3 thin film prepared at 350°C transmited about 80% of the visible spectrum. The effect of different heat treatments on surface morphology, thickness and optical properties of the films are discussed in this thesis.
