Abstrak: Serangkaian percobaan telah dilaksanakan untuk mengevaluasi nilai nutrisi kompleks-NPN-karbohidrat yang terbuat dari urea dan ampas sagu. Percobaan. pertama untuk mempelajari berapa besar kandungan nitrogen terikat dalam produk kompleks-NPN-karbohidrat kompleks pada setiap satuan waktu pemasakan dan level si nilai nutrisi produk kompleks-NPN-karbohidrat dilakukan kedua yang untuk pertama dalam menyumbangkan substrat bagi pertumbuhan mikroba rumen Sedangkan pelajari sampai sejauh mana mem- dosis urea. Percobaan kedua dan ketiga adalah evalua- secara in vitro. Percobaan mempelajari manfaat produk pada percobaan agar dapat mencapai sintesis protein maksimal. sasaran percobaan ketiga adalah untuk produk pada percobaan pertama yang menunjukkan hasil terbaik pada percobaan kedua dapat menghambat laju pelepasan amonia-urea oleh kerja enzym mikroba rumen pada berbagai satuan lama waktu inkubasi. Proses pembentukan produk kompleks-NPN-karbo- hidrat pada percobaan pertama dilakukan dengan pemasakan sistem tertutup pada suhu perlakuan cara 170° C dengan lama waktu pemasakan 0, 1, 2, 3, dan 4 pada berbagai level urea dari BK ampas sagu 0, dan 6%. Evaluasi in vitro nilai nutrisi produk pleks-NPN-karbohidrat ditempatkan dalam model jam 4 2. kom- perco- baan berfaktor 5 X 4 pada rancangan dasar acak lengkap dengan 3 ulangan. Perlakuan pada percobaan ketiga adalah waktu inkubasi 0.0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 9.0, 10.5 dan 12.0 jam yang dilakukan 6.0, 7.5, pada produk kompleks-NPN-karbohidrat yang menunjukkan hasil ter- baik pada percobaan kedua yaitu lama penasakan 2 jan dengan dosis urea 6 % dari BK ampas kontrol adalah ampas sagu tanpa sagu. pemasakan dosis urea 6%. Untuk mempelajari hubungan Sebagai dengan antara perlakuan dengan peubah yang diamati pada percobaan pertama, kedua dan ketiga digunakan uji regresi poli- nomial ortogonal.

Judul: Fermentability and Digestibility of Feed Added Slow Relase Urea-Nitrate In Vitro.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji pengaruh penambahan slow release urea-nitrat dalam ransum secara in vitro. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok 5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri dari P0 = ransum kontrol; P1 = P0 + urea; P2 = P0 + urea-nitrat; P3 = P0 + urea-nitrat dilapisi dengan molases; P4 = urea-nitrat dilapisi dengan limbah cair sari kurma. Peubah yang diamati adalah kecernaan bahan kering (KcBK), kecernaan bahan organik (KcBO), konsentrasi amonia (NH3), derajat keasaman (pH), volatile fatty acid (VFA) total, sintesis protein mikroba (SPM), total produksi gas, dan gas metan. Data dianalisis menggunakan analysis of variance (ANOVA) dan perlakuan yang berbeda nyata akan dilakukan uji lanjut dengan uji duncan menggunakan statistical product and service solutions (SPSS) 25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05) terhadap nilai KcBK, KcBO, VFA total, pH, SPM, total produksi gas, dan gas metan. Perlakuan yang berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) adalah konsentrasi amonia (NH3). Simpulan penelitian ini adalah penambahan slow release urea-nitrat belum mampu menurunkan konsentasi amonia., This study aimed to examine the effect of the addition slow release urea-nitrate in rations in vitro. This study used a randomized block design with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatment consisted of P0 = control ration; P1 = P0 + Urea; P2 = P0 + urea-nitrate; P3 = P0 + urea-nitrate coated with molasses; P4 = urea-nitrate coated with palm juice liquid waste. The observed variables were dry matter digestibility (KcBK), organic matter digestibility (KcBO), ammonia concentration (NH3), degree of acidity (pH), total volatile fatty acid (VFA), microbial protein synthesis (SPM), total gas production, and methane gas. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and significantly different treatments would be further tested with Duncan's test using statistical product and service solutions (SPSS) 25. The results showed that the treatment had no significant effect (P>0.05) on the KcBK, KcBO, total VFA, pH, SPM, total gas production, and methane gas. The treatment that had a significant effect (P<0.05) was the concentration of ammonia (NH3). The conclusion of this study was the addition of slow release urea-nitrate has not been able to reduce the concentration of ammonia.

Judul: Characteristic of Overshooting Top (OT) Based on  Himawari  8  Satellite  as  a  Convective  Cloud  Feature  that  Generates  Extreme Weather in the Java Island Region
Abstrak: Overshooting Top (OT) is a feature at the top of a convective cloud that is associated with extreme weather. Research on OT in tropical Indonesia is still very limited. The existence of geostationary satellites with wide area coverage and fast frequency observations is useful for observing the fast dynamics of the OT life cycle. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the relationship between OT and extreme weather, updraft and thermodynamic conditions of OT when extreme weather occurs, the best objective method for detecting OT in the day time and night time, and the spatiotemporal distribution of OT in the tropical region of Java Island during the 2018-2021 period. Based on visual analysis using visible channel and Himawari 8 sandwich products, 87% of extreme weather events in Java were accompanied by the appearance of OT. It indicates that the presence of the OT pattern is a convection cloud pattern or feature that is closely related to extreme weather events for the Java Island region. The existence of a time lag between the appearance of OT and extreme weather events on Java Island indicates that the OT of convection cloud can be used as a precursor or nowcasting for the appearance of extreme weather. Most of the convective cloud OT features during extreme weather events on Java Island have altitude that were only able to exceed the altitude of the equilibrium level and few were able to exceed the tropopause level of 9 km – 16 km. The difference in atmospheric conditions during extreme weather events on Java Island, which is in the tropics and subtropics, is a strong and unstable convective energy condition characterized by a larger CAPE, as well as unstable KI, LI, SI and TTI values. It is offset by kinematic factors in the form of a weak vertical wind shear (bulk wind shear 0-6 km) and a higher freezing point height. The difference between extreme weather events in the Java Island region and other tropical regions compared to subtropical regions is the strong updraft speed of convection clouds. The IRW Texture COMB algorithm based on the IRW-Texture Gradient modification and the COMB algorithm shows a significant increase in quality for detecting OT and non-OT pixels in Java. Rainy days with rainfall > 50 mm/day are very common in areas with an altitude of > 500 m. On the other hand, the level of convection activity which is indicated by the presence of OT and lightning is significantly reduced in this area. OT of convective clouds appear more frequently during the DJF season and less frequently during the JJA season. OT often appears during the day time and rarely at night time. Most OTs appear in the central part, away from the south and north coasts of Java Island during the day, while OTs that appear near the south and north coasts of Java Island can appear in the morning or afternoon.
