Judul: Tingkat Keberhasilan Inseminasi Buatan Intrauterine pada Kambing Kacang dengan Semen Beku Kambing Boer.
Abstrak: Upaya untuk meningkatkan produktivitas ternak, salah satunya dengan melakukan inseminasi buatan. Namun bila dilihat dari hasilnya terutama pada temak ruminansia kecil belum memuaskan karena mash banvak masalah v- an-e belum terungkap secara tuntas dalam penggunaan teknologi inseminasi buatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar tingkat keberhasilan inseminasi buatan intrauterine pada kambing Kacang dengan mengbakan semen beku kambing Boer, pengaruh berat badan, waktu inseminasi dan keragaan produksi hasil inseminasi buatan.

Judul: Penampilan reproduksi kambing boer : Studi kasus di PT. Widodo Makmur Perkasa, Propinsi Lampung
Abstrak: Kegiatan lapangan untuk penulisan skripsi ini sebagai syarat menjadi Sarjana Kedokteran Hewan IPB dilakukan dalam bentuk studi kasus penampilan reproduksi kambing Boer yang dilaksanakan bulan November 2007 sampai Juli 2008 di PT. Widodo Makmur Perkasa, Propinsi Lampung. Studi kasus ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui manajemen reproduksi kambing Boer, berbagai masalah yang sering muncul dalam pemeliharaan kambing Boer, serta tingkat keberhasilan munculnya kebuntingan pada inseminasi buatan dan perkawinan alami pada kambing Boer. Studi kasus dilakukan berdasarkan metode survey deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data primer dan data pendukung lainnya. Data primer didapat dari hasil wawancara dengan para pekerja yang berwenang di PT. Widodo Makmur Perkasa dan pengamatan secara langsung di PT. Widodo Makmur Perkasa. Data lainnya diperoleh dari data yang dimiliki oleh PT. Widodo Makmur Perkasa, literatur, dan internet. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa nilai Conseption Rate (CR) secara kawin alam sebesar 91 % dan 80 % secara inseminai buatan. Nilai Service per Conseption (S/C) pada kambing Boer yang dikawinkan secara kawin alami sebesar 1,1 dan inseminasi buatan adalah 1,2. Data menunjukkan bahwa nilai S/C secara IB lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kawin alam. Calving Interval ( CI ) kambing Boer terjadi selama 8 bulan. Kelainan yang sering muncul dalam pemeliharaan kambing Boer yaitu anak lahir prematur, tidak mampu bertahan hidup karena kondisi badannya terlalu lemah akibat kelahiran yang abortus, dan patah tulang akibat transportasi.

Judul: Systematics of Desmos (Annonaceae) in Malesia
Abstrak: Desmos is a woody climbing genus of Annonaceae which has been widely used as traditional medicine in several countries such as China, Indo-China, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia to treat dysentery, vertigo, fever, and postpartum. Phylogenetic studies on Desmos showed a close relationship between Desmos and Dasymaschalon. They share similar moniliform monocarpic fruits, but their flowers are different. It has been debated among Annonaceae researchers whether both genera should be treated as the same or distinct genus. Therefore, investigation on the taxonomic delimitation of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon will be necessary. Plastid genome (plastome) identification, leaf epidermal section of Desmos species and Dasymaschalon species, a taxonomic revision of Desmos in Malesia using morphological data, the spatial distribution of Desmos species in Malesia, and morphological and genetic variation in Desmos chinensis population using ISSR marker were used to investigate taxonomic delimitation of Desmos. Plastome study of Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was carried out to determine the origin, evolution, phylogenomics, and identify marker candidates for Desmos and Dasymaschalon or with other genera in Annonaceae. We discovered that the plastome of Desmos chinensis was circular with the size of 167,677 bp (smaller than Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum), consist of 111 genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 transfer RNAs, and 4 ribosomal RNAs. The plastome showed a typical quadripartite structure, i.e., large single copy (LSC), small single copy (SSC), and two inverted repeats (IRs). The plastome of Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum was 191,488 bp in length, which also exhibited a typical quadripartite structure (LSC, SSC, and two IRs). Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum showed different copies of accD, ndhD, ndhF, rps18, and ycf2. Protein coding genes of rpoB, rpoC1, rbcL, matK, rpl32, infA, and rpl36 were identified based on nucleotide diversity, sequence variability, and parsimony-informative sites. The genes are defined as molecular marker candidates of plastome for phylogenetic, barcoding, and population genetic research. We predicted that Desmos chinensis and Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum separated at ca. 64 million years ago during the Paleocene. Leaf anatomical feature study was carried to support the taxonomic delimitation of interspecific Desmos and intergeneric of Desmos and Dasymaschalon. Leaf anatomy in the paradermal section of 20 taxa (12 species of Desmos, eight species of Dasymaschalon) have been carried out. According to the leaf epidermal section, Desmos and Dasymaschalon are two distinct genera mainly distinguished based on the anticlinal wall undulation of epidermal cells and supported by variation of the crystal type and size. The anticlinal wall undulation of Desmos was almost straight to slightly wavy and never sinuous; meanwhile, Dasymaschalon varies from almost straight to deeply sinusoid. The crystals of Desmos consist of rhombohedral, druse type A, and druse type B crystals, whereas Dasymaschalon has prism, druse type A, druse type B, and druse type C crystals. The recent taxonomic revision using the morphological data was mainly based on the examination of about 1374 specimens from BO, L, WAN, ANDA, SING, SAN, K, P, HUH herbaria. The Desmos species in Malesia consists of eight species: D. acutus, D. chinensis, D. chryseus, D. dunalii, D. pedunculosus, D. subbiglandulosus, two new records: D. lawii and D. macrocarpus, and one
