Judul: Carcass Percentage, Commercial Cuts, and  Non-Carcass Parts of IPB-D3 Chickens at Different Slaughter Ages and Locations
Abstrak: Ayam lokal memiliki ketahanan tubuh yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan ayam ras. Ayam IPB-D3 merupakan calon galur baru pejantan (male line) yang dibentuk dari hasil seleksi ayam IPB-D1 G7 berdasarkan pertumbuhan bobot badan yang cepat pada umur 12 minggu. Pertumbuhan bobot badan yang cepat dapat dipengaruhi oleh genetik dan lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi persentase karkas, potongan karkas secara komersial dan bagian non karkas pada ayam IPB-D3 pada umur potong dan lokasi berbeda, yaitu Sukabumi, Bogor, dan Boyolali. Penelitian ini menggunakan ayam IPB-D3 Sukabumi sebagai data primer dan ayam IPB-D3 Bogor dan Boyolali sebagai data sekunder pembanding, masing-masing berjumlah 30 ekor. Berdasarkan hasil yang didapat adalah ayam IPB-D3 Sukabumi memiliki persentase karkas yang lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan ayam IPB-D3 Bogor dan Boyolali, akan tetapi bagian persentase non karkas ayam IPB-D3 Sukabumi lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan ayam IPB-D3 Bogor dan Boyolali, Local chickens have higher immune resilience compared to commercial breeds. IPB-D3 chickens are a new male line strain created by selecting IPB-D1 G7 chickens based on their rapid body weight growth at 12 weeks. Tight body weight growth can be influenced by genetics and the environment. This research aims to evaluate the carcass percentage, commercially cut carcass pieces, and non-carcass parts of IPB-D3 chickens at different ages and locations, namely Sukabumi, Bogor, and Boyolali. The study utilizes IPB-D3 Sukabumi chickens as primary data and IPB-D3 Bogor and Boyolali chickens as secondary comparative data, with each group comprising 30 individuals. Based on the results, it is found that IPB-D3 Sukabumi chickens have a lower carcass percentage compared to IPB-D3 Bogor and Boyolali chickens. However, the percentage of non-carcass parts in IPB-D3 Sukabumi chickens is higher than in IPB-D3 Bogor and Boyolali chickens

Judul: Comparison of Non-Carcass Weight Percentage between IPB-D2 and IPB-D3 Chickens at Different Slaughter Age
Abstrak: Ayam lokal Indonesia merupakan komoditas yang banyak dipelihara oleh masyarakat untuk memenuhi kebutuhan ekonomi dan sumber protein hewani namun memiliki produktivitas yang sangat rendah. Ayam IPB-D1 merupakan rumpun baru ayam lokal yang telah dilakukan upaya peningkatan mutu genetik. Ayam IPB-D2 dan IPB-D3 yang merupakan keturunan ayam IPB-D1 yang diseleksi dengan tujuan menjadi calon galur baru dengan tingkat ketahanan tubuh yang baik serta pertumbuhan bobot badan yang cepat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menilai persentase bobot non karkas ayam jantan IPB-D2 dan IPB-D3 pada umur potong berbeda. Ayam yang digunakan adalah 100 ekor DOC IPB-D2 G3 dan 100 ekor DOC IPB-D3 G1. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan September hingga Desember 2021 di Laboratorium Lapangan Pemuliaan dan Genetika Ternak, Fakultas Peternakan, Institut Pertanian Bogor. Peubah yang diamati adalah bobot kepala, ceker, usus total, hati, rempela, jantung, dan ginjal. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan uji deskriptif dan uji t. Persentase bobot non karkas tertinggi ayam IPB-D2 G3 terdapat pada umur 12 minggu (24,26%) dan ayam IPB-D3 G1 pada umur11 minggu (25,78%)., Indonesian local chicken is the most widely kept by the community because it can meet the economic needs and source of animal protein but with very low productivity. IPB-D1 chickens are a new family of local chickens that have improved genetic quality. IPB-D2 and IPB-D3 chickens are descendants of IPB-D1 chickens that are selected to become candidates for new strains with a good level of body resistance and rapid bodyweight growth. This study purposes to assess the percentage of the non-carcass weight of IPB-D2 and IPB-D3 chickens at different slaughter ages. The chickens used were 100 DOC IPB-D2 G3 and 100 DOC IPB-D3 G1. The research was conducted from September to December 2021 at the Laboratory of Animal Breeding and Genetics Field, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Bogor Agricultural University. The observed variables were head weight, claws, total intestine, liver, gizzard, heart, and kidney. The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive test and t-test. The highest percentage of the non-carcass weight of IPB-D2 G3 chickens was found at 12 weeks of age (24,26%) and IPB-D3 G1 chickens at 11 weeks of age (25,78%).

Judul: Peran Surfaktan Setiltrimetilamonium Bromida dan Natrium Dodesil Sulfat pada Sintesis ZnO dengan Metode Hidrotermal
Abstrak: Zno crystal is the main preference material in various applications recently, such as in semiconductors, ultraviolet lasers, and catalysts. This study aims to synthesize ZnO with addition of surfactant. ZnO crystals were synthesized by reacting ZnSO4, KOH, and surfactants using hydrothermal method. The first step was to determine the best ratio of ZnSO4: KOH (1:2; 1:3; 1:4, and 1:5) based on X-ray diffraction. The second step was to evaluate the role of surfactan cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the synthesis of ZnO crystals. The result of this study showed the best ratio of ZnSO4:KOH was 1:3, based on the least of impurities and the highest degree of crystallinity (85.64%). The addition of surfactant CTAB and SDS in the synthesis of ZnO increased the degree of crystallinity, which were 98.28% and 92.17%, respectively. Based on mathematical calculation using Scherrer equation, the crystal size without surfactant was 32 nm, whereas with CTAB and SDS the crystallited size were 28 nm and 29 nm, respectively. The degree of crystallinity and crystal size indicated that CTAB surfactant produce ZnO crystals with the best characteristics as compared to SDS surfactant or without surfactant.
