Judul: Jumlah dan bobot massa larva kumbang Tenebrio molitor pada media bertelur yang berbeda
Abstrak: Significance economic value of the larva of Tenebrio molitor beetle (called : mealworm) made researchers finding out methods and means to increase mealworm production. Manipulating egg laying media was one of the mean. This research was done from July up to October 2005 at Non Ruminants and Prospective Animal Division, Department of Animal Production Technology, Faculty of Animal Science, Bogor Agricultural University. The purpose of this research was to compare total and mass weight of the mealworm from four different egg laying media. The egg laying media used as the treatments were feed, cotton, dry banana leaves and rotten wood. This study used 1600 T. molitor beetles which had a day old. Completely Randomize Design was used as the experimental design with four replications for each treatment. The observed variables were total of the larva, mass weight and body weight of each larvas. The obtained data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and tested with Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The result showed that cotton was the best egg laying media compared to three other media. Total and mass weight of the mealworm at cotton media (4164,s larvas and 61,028 g) were higher than other media (feed : 3029,s larvas and 59,965 g, dry banana leaves : 1836,s larvas and 47,725 g, rotten wood : 1842,5 larvas and 44,930 g). Dry banana leaves and rotten wood media could be used by the farmer if he wants to increase body weight of each larvas. Combination of egg laying media could be taken into account such as dry banana leaves or rotten wood and feed. Key words : Tenebrio molitor, Mealworm, Egg laying media

Judul: The Performances of the Meal Worms (Tenebrio molitor) Kept with a Different Density
Abstrak: Ulat hongkong (Tenebrio molitor) merupakan komoditas ternak yang termasuk ke dalam ternak prospektif. Pemeliharaan ulat hongkong harus dilakukan dengan tepat sehingga menghasilkan produksi yang optimal. Kepadatan kotak kandang pemeliharaan merupakan faktor yang berpengaruh pada saat pemeliharaan dalam meningkatkan produksi ulat hongkong. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis performa ulat hongkong yang dipelihara dengan tingkat kepadatan berbeda. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan empat perlakuan dan tiga ulangan untuk setiap perlakuan. Peubah yang diamati adalah panjang badan, lebar badan, bobot kitin, bobot individu, bobot hidup total, dan mortalitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kepadatan berbeda nyata (P<0,05) terhadap performa ulat hongkong. Tingkat kepadatan sebanyak 500 gram pada kotak kandang pemeliharaan memberikan hasil yang paling baik, yaitu pada rataan panjang badan, rataan bobot hidup total, rataan mortalitas, dan rataan bobot kitin., Meal worms (Tenebrio molitor) are chategorized as prospective animals. The farming of the meal worms must be done correctly to achieve their optimal production. The density of the during farming box is a factor that influences the maintenance process in increasing meal worm production. This study aims to analyze the performance of meal worms raised at different density levels. The study used a completely randomized design (RAL) with four treatments and three replications for each treatment. The observed variables were body length, body width, chitin weight, individual weight, total live weight, and mortality. The results of the study showed significantly different density levels (P<0.05) on the performance of meal worms. A density level of 500 grams in the farming box yielded the best results, particularly in average body length, average total live weight, average mortality, and average chitin weight.

Abstrak: Terputusnya penyediaan tenaga listrik terasa sebagai hal yang sangat mengganggu kenyamanan bagi setiap pelanggan. Gangguan penyediaan tenaga listrik tidak dikehendaki oleh siapapun, tetapi merupakan kenyataan yang tidak dapat dihindarkan, sehingga perlu dilakukan usaha untuk mengurangi jumlah gangguan tersebut. Gangguan yang terjadi sangat merugikan, seperti jika gangguan terjadi pada pelanggan di bagian industri yang akan berdampak pada macetnya proses produksi, sehingga akan mempengaruhi pula perekonomian nasional.
