Abstrak: The study observed body size and shape variability of Etawah Grade dairy goat in Doa Anak Yatim Farm (DAYF) in Waru Tegal village, District Ciampea and Cordero Farm (CF) in Ciapus, Bogor. EG dairy goat consisted of 185 heads were divided into 97 heads in DAYF (45 males and 52 females) and 88 heads in CF (35 males and 53 females). Goat was not randomly selected (purposive sampling). Descriptive statistics indicated that body measurements of PE dairy goat in CF was higher and selected strict than in DAYF. T2-Hotelling showed highly significant (P<0.01) differences in linear measurements of body surface of EG dairy goat in DAYF and CF. Principal Component Analysis showed that the size discriminator of EG dairy goat in DAYF and in CF was similar, namely body length and chest circumference. Eigen vector of body length and chest circumference of EG dairy goat in DAYF were +0.528 and +0.550 respectively, and that of in CF were +0.476 dan +0.522 respectively. The possibility proportion of Ettawa and Local (Kacang) blood goats observed was the same. The range of PE goat size in DAYF obtained at 58.722 to 185.974 wider than those found in CF at 76.323 to 182.257. The shape discriminator of EG dairy goat in DAYF and CF was different. The shape discriminator of EG dairy goat in DAYF was 0.768, whereas that of body length in CF was 0.837. Clustered diagram showed that the body size will increase and its shape will change as the EG dairy goats from both farm are getting older.

Abstrak: The purpose of this research was to determine the differences among surface linear measurement body morphometric characteristics of BPTU KDIHPT Pelaihari, Cordero Farm, and Doa Anak Yatim Farm Etawah Grade goat females. Number of Etawah Grade goat females be observed were 90 heads (30 heads of each). Variables measured were shoulder height, hip height, body length, chest width, depth chest, hip width, rump length, chest circumference and cannon circumference. The data was analyzed with T2-Hotelling test, Fisher discriminan analysis, Wald-Anderson and D2-Mahalanobis minimum distance. Discriminator variables between BPTU KDI-HPT Pelaihari vs Cordero Farm Etawah Grade goat females were depth chest, rump length, chest circumference and cannon circumference, whereas those of BPTU KDI-HPT Pelaihari vs Doa Anak Yatim Farm Etawah Grade goat females were shoulder height, hip height, rump length and chest circumference, and those of Cordero Farm vs Doa Anak Yatim Farm Etawah Grade goats were shoulder height and hip height. Unsimilarity body morphometric distance between BPTU KDI-HPT Pelaihari vs Cordero Farm Etawah Grade goat females was 4.617, whereas that of BPTU KDI-HPT Pelaihari vs Doa Anak Yatim Farm Etawah Grade goat females was 5.952 and that of Cordero Farm vs Doa Anak Yatim Farm Etawah Grade goat females was 2.265. BPTU KDI-HPT Pelaihari Etawah Grade goat females was separated from Cordero Farm and Doa Anak Yatim Farm ones . Cordero Farm Etawah Grade goat females formed a category together with Doa Anak Yatim Farm ones conjecturable purpose milk production, whereas BPTU KDI-HPT Pelaihari formed category 2 as Etawah Grade goat females conjecturable purpose meat production.

Judul: Natrium lignosulfonat sebagai agen pendispersi pada mortar
Abstrak: Lignosulphonate, a modification product of lignin waste from pulp and paper industry can be used as water reducer in mortar mixture. This substance can influence the mechanical characteristic of mortar such as diameter of flow, flexural strength, compressive strength, and setting time of cement paste. Lignosulphonate shows it function as dispersant on cement hydration at 3 days that analyzed with x-ray difractometer. Research result show that flow of fresh mortar rise with increase concentration (from weight of cement) of synthetic sodium lignosulphonate (NaLS). It show that mortar homogenity also increasing. The result of flexural strength and compressive strength test use synthetic NaLS 0.1-0.3% from weight of cement show that addition synthetic NaLS 0.2% is the best result because it has the biggest of flexural strenght and compressive strength value. Initial setting time of cement paste increase, about 50% with addition of synthetic NaLS 0.2%. Whereas the final setting time decrease, about 8%. Cement hydration test show increase hydration product peak, Ca(OH)2 dan calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H).
