Judul: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Cattle Farmers in Astomulyo Village Towards Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) Control Efforts.
Abstrak: Penyakit mulut dan kuku (PMK) merupakan salah satu ancaman bagi peternakan di Indonesia, salah satunya Provinsi Lampung karena berpotensi sebagai lumbung ternak. Peranan peternak dalam upaya pengendalian dibutuhkan dan harus didukung dengan pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik peternak yang tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik manajemen peternakan oleh peternak di Desa Astomulyo Lampung Tengah terhadap upaya pengendalian PMK. Metode pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner, observasi lapang, dan wawancara terhadap 30 peternak sapi di Desa Astomulyo. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif untuk karakteristik responden, dan secara kuantitatif menggunakan teknik skoring berdasarkan Skala Likert dan Skala Guttman untuk penilaian pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik. Data hasil penilaian pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik manajemen peternak di Desa Astomulyo masing- masing menunjukkan nilai yang baik, yaitu 93,6%, 87,4%, dan 78,9%. Studi ini mengindikasikan perlunya optimalisasi upaya pengendalian PMK melalui peningkatan pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik peternak melalui penyuluhan, pelatihan, dan partisipasi semua pihak terkait., Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a threat to livestock farming in Indonesia, including Lampung Province because of its potential as a livestock barn. The role of farmers in controling disease is needed and must be supported by appropriate knowledge, attitudes, and practices. This study aims to identify the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of farmer in Astomulyo Village, Central Lampung towards FMD control efforts. Data collection methods used questionnaires, field observations, and interviews with 30 cattle farmers in Astomulyo Village. Data were analyzed qualitatively for respondent characteristics, and quantitatively using scoring techniques based on the Likert Scale and Guttman Scale for knowledge, attitude, and practice assessments. Data from the assessment of knowledge, attitudes, and management practices of farmers in Astomulyo Village showed good values of 93.6%, 87.4%, and 78.9%, respectively. This study indicates the need to optimize FMD control efforts through improving farmers

Judul: Impact of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) on Productivity of Dairy Cows in Pangalengan Subdistrict and its Management Strategy
Abstrak: Penyakit Mulut dan Kuku (PMK) menjadi masalah yang besar untuk sentra peternakan sapi perah di Kecamatan Pangalengan karena dampaknya terhadap penurunan produktivitas sapi perah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi dampak PMK dan strategi penanganan pada ternak sapi perah anggota Koperasi Peternakan Bandung Selatan (KPBS) Pangalengan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode survei kepada peternak anggota KPBS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 50 responden 46% anggota KPBS berusia >45 tahun, 66% tingkat pendidikan terakhir Sekolah Dasar (SD), 34% memiliki pengalaman beternak selama 21-30 tahun. Sebelum wabah PMK, total populasi ternak responden sejumlah 218 ekor. Saat wabah terjadi, 66% (143 ekor) diantaranya terjangkit PMK, 34% (75 ekor) lainnya dinyatakan bebas PMK. Produksi susu harian mengalami penurunan, sebelum wabah didapatkan 1926 kg hari-1, fase saat wabah berlangsung turun 51% menjadi 942 kg hari-1, fase setelah wabah produksi susu mengalami kenaikan menjadi 1695 kg hari-1. Produksi susu menurun karena kebutuhan nutrien induk sapi perah tidak tercukupi disebabkan mulut melepuh dan kuku kaki yang lepas, akibatnya hewan ternak tidak bisa makan. Pencegahan yang dilakukan peternak yaitu dengan pembatasan terhadap lingkungan luar, vaksinasi, sanitasi dan praktik biosekuriti. Tindakan penanganan yang dilakukan pada ternak terinfeksi PMK yaitu penyemprotan obat pada bagian tubuh ternak yang luka dengan tujuan agar luka tersebut bisa cepat kering., Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is a major problem for dairy farming centers in Pangalengan Subdistrict because of its impact on reducing dairy cattle productivity. This study aims to evaluate the impact of FMD and management strategies on dairy cattle members of Koperasi Peternakan Bandung Selatan (KPBS). The research was conducted using a survey method to KPBS members. The results showed that out of 50 respondents, 46% of KPBS members were >45 years old, 66% were elementary school graduates, and 34% had 21-30 years of experience. Before the FMD outbreak, the total livestock population of respondents was 218 heads. During the outbreak, 66% were infected with FMD, 34% were FMD-free. Daily milk production decreased, before the outbreak it was 1926 kg day-1, during the outbreak it decreased by 51% to 942 kg day-1, after the outbreak milk production increased to 1695 kg day-1. Milk production decreases because the nutrient needs of dairy cows are not met due to mouth blisters and loose toenails, as a result the cattle cannot eat. Prevention is by limiting the external environment, vaccination, sanitation and biosecurity practices. The treatment for FMD infected livestock is spraying medicine on the wounded body part with the aim that the wound dries quickly.

Judul: Penggunaan Teorema Homeomorphy 2-Manifold dan Teorema Euler Poincare pada Torus 𝑇�� dan Simplicial Complex 𝐾��
Abstrak: Two dimensional topological spaces are said to be homeomorphic if they have the same topological invariant, where one of topological invariant used is an Euler characteristic. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem and Euler Poincare’s Theorem are used to distinguish two topological spaces. Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem uses Euler characteristic to identify two dimensional topological spaces. Euler Poincare’s Theorem is an alternative way to find Euler characteristic with Betti number, which is topological invariant as well. The objective of this paper is to investigate the homeomorphism of torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾�����. Topological space torus and simplicial complex 𝐾����� have the same Euler characteristic, which is two. Based on Homeomorphy 2-Manifold’s Theorem topological space torus 𝑇����� and simplicial complex 𝐾����� is homeomorphic.
