Abstrak: The use of palm kernel in the diet should be limited, because it contains high crude fiber and crude fat and low protein. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding diets containing palm kernel powder added pollard or rice bran on percentage of internal organs in broiler chickens. The treatments were as follow : P1: control, P2: feed A (feed containing palm kernel powder added pollard ), P3: feed B (feed containing palm kernel powder added rice bran). The results showed that percentage of weight of the liver and bile were not significantly affected by the treatment. However the treatments significantly (P<0.01) affected the percentage of weights and relative lengths digestive organs where the percentage of weights were higher, and relative lengths were longer for treatments compared with that of control, while P2 and P3 results are comparable, except pancreas and colon. It is concluded that feeding diets containing palm kernel powder added pollard or rice bran produces a comparable percentage of internal organs in broiler chicken, but not to the pancreas and colon where feed containing palm kernel powder added pollard higher than feed containing palm kernel powder added rice bran.

Abstrak: The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of feeding complete diet containing palm kernel powder that added pollard or rice bran on broiler performances. Experiment used 180 day old chicks (DOC) of CP 707 and reared for 28 days. The experiment used completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 6 replications consisting of 10 broilers in each replication. The treatments were: P1= feed control (100% commercial feed) without palm kernel powder, P2= Feed A (feed containing palm kernel powder + pollard), P3= Feed B (feed containing palm kernel powder + rice bran). The diet and water were given ad libitum. The results indicated that feeding palm kernel powder in broiler diet that added with pollard or rice bran decreased (P<0.01) feed consumption, final body weight, body weight gain and increased feed conversion rate. There were not significant differences between P2 and P3 treatments in terms of its effect on broiler chickens performance. The quality of feed containing palm kernel powder-pollard or palm kernel powder-rice bran could not substitute the commercial feed.

Abstrak: Traffic flow phenomenon can be described through mathematical model such as continuous dynamic model with an ordinary differential equation so that it can be solved with integral factors. In this paper three simple models of traffic flow are discussed, i.e, two macroscopic and one microscopic models. Macroscopic model formulates dynamics of the traffic flow that occurs on a large number of vehicles on a road. While the microscopic model explains drivers’ behavior in their interaction with other vehicles ahead, i.e, car-following model. This paper shows the existence of ordinary differential equation found in the traffic flow model and indicates some different representations in the context of the same model. It also reviews a simple model of traffic flow along a single link, which leads to some unexpected results, i.e, it can express the solution model in term of link outflows as well as trip time. In the microscopic model, simulation is done to illustrate the behavior of the drivers with a sensitivity coefficient as a benchmark parameter.
