Abstrak: There are a lot of factors that influence the variance of dairy milk production. In peral, it can be divided into two major factors, genetics and environment factors. A high value of genetics variance means that the environment has small effect in dairy milk production. In the real world. the true variance is impossible to know, so statistical methods are needed with the purpose of estimating them. Statistical analysis that is frequently used for analyzing tho woci.tion between the response and explanatory variable Is linear model. However, this analysis is restricted by the assumption that it can only involve variables that are considered fixed. Another approach is needed If the variables concerned arc random variables. Linear mixed model is a suitable method. because it provides analysis for both fixed and random variables. The result showed that the stage of lactation is the only flxed effect to be significant. Unstructured Covariance, based on the Ale value, is the best covariance struciure to model the random effects. N. final point, Varlour type is the most superi()r sire with the highest genetic contribution to its daughter" milk production, and by the maximum genetic progress,·compared to additional types.

Judul: Hubungan antara Produksi dan Kualitas Susu Sapi Perah dengan Faktor yang Mempengaruhi (Studi Kasus di Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta Timur)
Abstrak: Dairy cows are the large ruminants that mostly kept by Indonesian dairy farmers. The dairy farms of Indonesia located not only in the villages, but also in the urban areas, such as Pondok Ranggon in East Jakarta. Recent study was done to observe effect of technical factors on milk production and quality of dairy farms in Pondok Ranggon in East Jakarta. The parameters were environmental conditions, feeding patterns, animal conditions, lactation performance, and milk quality. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. To overcome less of roughage supply, farmers used agro-industry by products such as tofu waste, soybean waste, and rice bran. The averages of roughage, concentrate, tofu waste, soybean waste and rice bran that offered to the animals were 20,85±4,27; 0,67±0,73; 28,94±7,62; 2,26±4,51; and 0,01±0,09 kg/h/d, respectively. Under this feeding regime, the average milk produced was 9,28±3,22 kg/h/d. The averages of fat, lactose, protein, solid non fat, density of milk quality were 4,44%; 4,20%; 3,91%; 8,83%; and 1,032 g/ml. The relationship of milk production(Y) on roughage (X1), concentrate (X2), tofu waste (X3), soybean waste (X4) and rice bran (X5) was Y1=2,672X10,256 X20,014 X30,018 X4-0,008 X5-0,055. The influenced of age, number of lactation, lactation days, pregnancy and body weight on milk production and quality were also confirmed. It was concluded that maximum milk production in Pondok Ranggon was produced by the cows at 2,5 years age, in the first lactation, at the second months of lactation, from heavier cows, or in the non pregnant cows.

Judul: Membran Komposit Kitosan-Nanopartikel Magnetik Fe3O4-Hidroksiapatit untuk Rekayasa Jaringan Tulang.
Abstrak: Composite membrane implants from biodegradable and biocompatible polymers such as chitosan, added with Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticleshydroxyapatite (MHAP) is an alternative that is appropriate for bone tissue engineering. The MHAP was first synthesized using coprecipitation method with 3 different composition, with the ratio of Fe3O4 : hydroxyapatite is 3:7, 4:6, and 5:5 by mass. The composite membrane chitosan-MHAP (MK K-MHAP) was then synthesized by mixing a chitosan solution and the best MHAP composition (10, 20, 30, and 40% w/w of the mass of chitosan). Characterization using X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of Fe3O4 and hydroxyapatite phase on the MHAP. The magnetic saturation value and size of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles increase with the increasing Fe3O4 composition in MHAP and MK K-MHAP which characterized based on its magnetic hysteresis and particle size distribution curve, respectively. The morphology of the best composition of MHAP composite was analysed using transmission electron microscope. Molecular interactions in MK K-MHAP was characterized based on infrared spectra. Immersion test of MK K-MHAP showed optimum state at 30% mass MHAP composition in chitosan matrix with calcium concentration released about 1000 ppm within 144 hours.
