Judul: Studi Morfometrik Domba Lokal Jantan Di Unit Pendidikan Dan Penelitian Peternakan Jonggol Sebagai Kriteria Seleksi
Abstrak: Jonggol local sheep is very potential to be developed at Jonggol Animal Science Teaching and Research Unit (JASTRU). The sheep have been well adapted to marginal environments including hot and dry weather, ectoparasites, and limited feed supply. However their growth rate performances still vary among the sheep. It is therefore selection needs to be conducted to get fast growing sheep. Daily gain was used as a standard of differing fast growing sheep and slow growing sheep. Sheep with daily gain above 100gr/head/day was categorized as fast growing sheep and daily gain under 80gr/head/day as the slowing group. The results show that shoulder height, body length, chest circumference, upper neck circumference, lower neck circumference, head length, and mouth circumference were significantly higher at fast growing sheep than slow growing group. Similar results were found that circumference of right foreleg and left upper hind leg, and circumference of hind pastern either at left or right sides were significantly higher at fast growing sheep than slow growing group. This may indicate that the parameters can be used as selection criteria for fast growing sheep. and the parameters can be used as selection criteria to obtain fast growing sheep. On the contrary, chest depth, neck length, tail length, circumference of left foreleg and right upper hind leg, and circumference of neck to thoracic limb and hind pastern either at left or right sides were similar between the two groups of sheep, indicating the three parameters might not be used as the selection criteria. Almost all parameters had positive correlation between one and the other parameters especially daily gain.

Judul: Identifikasi Produktivitas Induk Domba yang Digembalakan sebagai Dasar Kriteria Seleksi di Unit Pendidikan Penelitian dan Peternakan Jonggol Institut Pertanian Bogor (UP3J-IPB).
Abstrak: Local sheep is one of the animal genetic resources which is potential to be developed in supporting national meat supply. Local sheep has some superiorities such as twinning birth, early mature age and non seasonally breeding. Nevertheless, instead of these superiority, some problem still occurred as lacking of lamb survivability rate, low carcass percentage and high variances both genotype and phenotype parameters. The objectives of this study were to find the relationship between ewe age and its productivity, and ewe body measurements and its milk yield on grazing system. This study was conducted in the Jonggol Animal Science Teaching and Research Unit (JASTRU), Singasari Village, Bogor District, from June up to November 2007. As many 100 lactating ewes, on 1 to 4 years of age, were used in this study. Sheep were reared on grazing system from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and housed at night. The results showed that ewe age highly significant affected the body weight after lambing (p<0,01), milk yield (p<0,01), total birth weight (p<0,01) and total weaning weight (P<0,01) but did not significant for litter size. Breast circle, udder base circle, and udder height showed strong relationship in predicting 3 to 5 year ewe milk yield (p<0,01). The most productive ewes was 3 to 4 year ewes group.

Judul: Katalis Zink Ferit Tersubstitusi Cu untuk Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol
Abstrak: Katalis berperan dalam menurunkan energi aktivasi. Katalis ZnFe2O4 dan ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi untuk digunakan dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol. Katalis dicirikan dengan spektrofotometer inframerah (FTIR) dan difraktometer sinar-X. Spektrum FTIR menunjukkan puncak serapan dari ikatan Zn-O dan Fe-O masing-masing pada rentang 559‒575 cm-1 dan 419‒447 cm-1. Difraktogram menunjukkan terbentuknya fase tunggal Zn0.6Cu0.4Fe2O4 pada katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20%. Benzil alkohol dioksidasi dengan sistem refluks. Konversi benzil alkohol meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu. Kadar benzaldehida yang dihasilkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 yang tidak tersubstitusi dan yang tersubstitusi Cu 60 dan 80%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida dengan kadar benzaldehida 8.763%.
