Abstrak: Ectoparasite is parasite living outside of its host. One of parasites infects on Reptile body is mite. Pterygosomatidae lizard is infected by Geckobia mites. The aim of this research was to classify, identify, and examine the about infection of ectoparasitic mite on lizard in Sumedang. Lizards were collected and preserved in Alcohol 70%. Mites were taken from head, eyes, armpit, body, thigh, tail, fingers, and toes. Mites were prepared on whole mount method using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) media and was dried in oven for 2 weeks at temperature 400C. Ectoparasitic mites infecting the lizards were Geckobia sp1, Geckobia glebosum, Geckobia sp4, Geckobia sp5, Geckobia sp6, Geckobia sp10, Geckobia sp13 and Geckobia sp17. Total prevalence of infected lizards valued was 97%. The highest average of mite infection intensity on lizard C. platyurus was mite G6, H. frenatus was mite G. glebosum, H. garnotii was mite G1, and G. mutilata was mite G10. The highest infection intensity of mite was on H. garnotii

Abstrak: Ectoparasites are form of parasite that stick on the surface of organism, suck their blood or looking for feed on hair, fur, skin, or skin secretions. This study was aimed to inventory, identify, and analize mites infestation in the lizard ectoparasites on market and Muara Angke conservation area, Jakarta. Lizards were collected and preserved in 70% alcohol. The sticky sites on lizard which could be infested are head, ears, armpits, torso, thighs, forelimbs, hind limbs, and tail. All mites were prepared with PVA media. The results showed that there were four species of Geckos, Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus garnotii, Hemidactylus frenatus, and Gehira mutilata. Identification results based on characters of mites found six types of Geckobia (G1, G2, G5, G6, G10, G11). However based on chaetotaxy the G5 and G11 were grouped as G. indica, G2 in G. glebosum, G6 were in Geckobia group 1, G10 in group with G. gleadoviana, and unidentified G1 geckos. Hemydactylus garnotii was found to had the largest prevalence values at market and conservation, i.e 94.4% and 73.3%. Hemydactylus garnotii also was found to had the largest infestation intensity values at market and conservation, i.e 28.1 and 7.7

Abstrak: Sorghum can be used as a basic ingredient in developing ready to eat cereals. The general aim of this study was to develop cereal milks based beverages with sorghum as a main ingredient. The materials used to make cereal milk sorghum were milk powder, sorghum flour, sugar, cocoa powder, vanillin powder, and salt. This study covered two stages of experiment, i.e. preliminary and main experiments. The objective of preliminary study was to produce sorghum flour that can be rehydrated and has good characteristics. Flour that can be rehydrated known as pragelatinized flour. Pragelatinized sorghum flour can be achieved by studying the comparison of the amount of water added in the cooking stage that studied in the preliminary experiment. The ratio of coarse sorghum flour and water (w/v) tested were 1 : 2.5, 1 : 3, 1 : 3.5, 1 : 4, 1 : 4.5. The physical properties of the products resulted such as yield, water solubility index, and the rehydration time were analyzed. Based on these test results, the ratio of flour and water to be used in the main study was 1 : 4. The main study aimed to get a cereal milk formula that was suitable and acceptable by consumers. Variables observed on the main research in determining the optimum formulation of cereal milk were the amount of pragelatinized sorghum flour and milk powder added. The organoleptic test conducted showed that the formulation with a ratio of milk and pragelatinized sorghum flour 3 : 7 was chosen. Based on proximate analysis, the chosen formula contain (dry basis) 5.82% moisture content, 5.87% fat, 8.16% protein, 2.73% ash, and 83.24% carbohydrate. Chosen formula also contain 14.76% dietary fibre and total phenolic compound 3.28 mg GAE (Gallic Acid Equivalent)/ g product. Financial analysis that has been done shows milk cereal product development is feasible.
