Abstrak: The aim of this study was to determine the species of lice and its distribution, and also the effect of cypermethrin as insecticide against the lice in poultry layers. This research was conducted on October 2010 in six phase i.e. searching and collecting lice from a infested layers, identifiying the species of lice, counting the number of infested lice, determining the concentration of insecticide, applicating the insecticide (dipping) and observing the effect of insecticide. The result showed that the lice species found in layer was Menopon gallinae (100%). Base on the region of infestations, the highest distribution of the lice was found in breast region (92.5%). By dipping application, the cypermethrin was effective for killing the lice in the concentration of 0.01 g/L (the mortality rate ≥90%).

Abstrak: The presence of ectoparasites is one of the obstacles faced by the layer poultry farm. Losses caused by ectoparasites infestation were large enough, such as the decreasing of egg production. Control measures were mostly done by using insecticides. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cypermethrin in controlling Menopon gallinae lice infestations by spraying method in laying hens. A total of 51 lice infested laying hens obtained from commercial farms in Ciseeng, Bogor were grouped into fives. Four groups were treated by the cypermethrin, and the rest of the group as a control treated by water. Each group consisted of three chickens, and treated by cypermethrin spraying with four replications. The concentration of cypermethrin for each groups were 0.5 g/L, 0.375 g/L, 0.25 g/L, and 0.125 g/L. Lice were identified and calculated by using the counter. Lice observations were done three times i.e before treatment, 24, and 5 48 hours after cypermethrin treatments. The result showed that the lice found only one species M. gallinae with the largest distribution in the breast region (89.93%). The effect of cypermethrin treatment in different concentration levels showed that the reduction of lice infestations were not significantly differents (p>0.05). The concentration of cypermethrin 0.125-0.5 g/L was effectively to control lice in laying hens by spraying method (reduction values 66.35-100% at 24 hours after treatment).

Judul: Desain alun-alun kraksaan sebagai taman kota tradisional di Kota Kraksaan Jawa Timur
Abstrak: Kota Kraksaan merupakan kota baru yang baru saja ditunjuk sebagai Ibukota Kabupaten Probolinggo. Dalam lima tahun terakhir, perkembangan infrastruktur serta fasilitas di Kota Kraksaan mengalami peningkatan yang sangat pesat dibandingkan sebelumnya. Potensi pembangunan yang ada di Kota Kraksaan sangatlah menarik karena dapat mempengaruhi masyarakat Kraksaan khususnya. Lokasi yang membutuhkan perlakuan khusus salah satunya adalah Alun-Alun Kraksaan yang terletak di jantung Kota Kraksaan. Lokasi alun-alun ini memiliki potensi yang besar untuk menjadi landmark dari Kota Kraksaan. Selain itu, Alun-Alun Kraksaan sering disebut sebagai taman kota untuk tempat berinteraksinya masyarakat serta ruang terbuka hijau untuk menyeimbangkan pembangunan infrastruktur. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini menggunakan metode perancangan dari Gold (1980) dengan modifikasi yang meliputi inventarisasi, analisis sintesis, dan perancangan. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi rekomendasi perancangan bagi pemerintah setempat untuk membangun alun-alun sebagai taman kota dengan berbasis nilai tradisional untuk Kota Kraksaan.
