Judul: Formula Campuran Asap Cair Dan Propolis Sebagai Antibakteri Yang Berpotensi Memacu Pertumbuhan Ayam Pedaging
Abstrak: Asap cair merupakan hasil kondensasi dari pirolisat bahan berlignoselulosa dan propolis adalah komponen sarang lebah yang telah diketahui banyak bermanfaat untuk pengobatan, di antaranya sebagai antibakteri. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah mengevaluasi efektivitas formula asap cair dan propolis sebagai antibakteri yang berpotensi memacu pertumbuhan ayam pedaging. Yang termasuk kuat (zona hambat 15 mm) terhadap Staphylococcus aureus ditunjukkan oleh formula yang terdiri atas 100 ppm propolis + 1000 ppm asap cair, sedangkan terhadap Escherichia coli adalah formula yang terdiri atas 60 ppm propolis + 600 ppm asap cair. Terdapat kecenderungan meningkatnya sifat antibakteri dengan meningkatnya konsentrasi propolis. Juga terdapat sinergisme antara propolis dan asap cair jika diformulasikan. Dapat diduga bahwa formula tersebut mampu memicu pertumbuhan ayam pedaging. Propolis yang digunakan mengandung alkaloid, tanin, flavonoid, saponin, dan minyak atsiri.

Judul: Efektivitas Pemberian Feed Additive Alami Pada Ransum yang Dibandingkan dengan Penggunaan Antibiotik terhadap Organ Dalam dan Status Kesehatan Ayam Pedaging
Abstrak: Banyak cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan produksi. salah satunya yaitu dengan menggunakan antibiotik sebagai pemacu pertumbuhan dan pengobatan penyakit. Penggunaan antibiotik saat ini telah menjadi kontroversi karena dapat menimbulkan residu antibiotik pada produk ternak yang dihasilkan sehingga menghasilkan produk pangan yang tidak aman untuk dikonsumsi oleh manusia. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut muncul alternatif baru untuk menggantikan antibiotik yaitu dengan menggunakan Feed additive alami berupa herbal, probiotik dan prebiotik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mcngetahui efektifitas pemberian feed additive alami (herbal, probiotik dan prebiotik) dalam ransum yang dibandingkan dengan penggunaan antibiotik terhadap organ dalam dan status kesehatan ayam pedaging.

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.
