Judul: Infestation of Tropical Fowl Mites and Feather mites in Layer poultry farm in Kuningan, West Java
Abstrak: Poultry is a domesticated animal that are using for meat, eggs and their feathers for human purposes. The problem that often found in the poultry is the presence of ectoparasites such as ticks, fleas, mites and louse on their body. The aim for this study is identify and estimate the prevalence of ectoparasites on layers in several poultry farms in Kuningan, West Java. Total of 80 layer hens were randomly selected from different four layer farms as sample for mite’s collection without consideration for age. The mites were collected from 5 different regions of hen at head and neck, wings, thorax and abdomen, tail and legs. The result shows that 70 out of 80 layer hen had been infested by mites. Total of 1842 mites had been found in 70 infested layer hens. Farm 4 had the highest prevalence of mites which is 100% and the least prevalence with 60% is found in farm 3. Prevalence of mite’s infestation that occurs on layer hen in Kuningan is around 87.5%. Type of mites that had been found consists of two species which are Ornithonyssus bursa (3.80%) and Megninia ginglymura (96.20%). Thorax and abdomen are recorded as highest infestation of mites with 30.35%. Type of mites that dominates in this study is Megninia ginglymura in thorax and abdomen region (29.42%) and least dominate region is wings (10.26%).

Judul: Diversity and Prevalence of Chewing Lice (Phthiraptera: Mallophaga) in a Poultry Farm in Laladon, Bogor.
Abstrak: Poultry lice are notorious ectoparasites that pose significant challenges to the health and productivity of poultry, thereby affecting their economic value. This study aimed to investigate the diversity, prevalence, and degree of infestation of chewing lice in five different bird species: domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), turkey (Meleagris gallapavo), fantail pigeon (Columba livia domestica), swan geese (Anser cygnoides), and Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata). Specimens were collected from various body regions and identified using established identification keys. The results revealed the presence of Menacanthus and Menopon genera in chickens and turkeys, exclusive presence of Lipeurus in chickens, Anaticola in Muscovy ducks and swan geese, Colpocephalum in fantail pigeons and swan geese, Columbicola and Campanulotes exclusively in fantail pigeons, and Holomenopon exclusively in swan geese. The prevalence of lice infestation was determined, with all bird species exhibiting a 100% prevalence, except for Muscovy ducks, which showed a prevalence of 40%. The study highlighted the challenges in identifying poultry lice at the species level due to the unavailability of identification keys, leading to incomplete identification results. Moreover, farmers need to be aware of the detrimental effects of chronic lice infestations on poultry health and productivity, Kutu unggas merupakan ektoparasit yang menyebabkan gangguan terhadap kesehatan dan produktivitas unggas, sehingga mempengaruhi nilai ekonomi komoditi unggas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keragaman spesies, prevalensi, dan tingkat infestasi kutu pada lima spesies burung yang berbeda, yaitu ayam ras (Gallus gallus domesticus), kalkun (Meleagris gallapavo), merpati kipas (Columba livia domestica), angsa (Anser cygnoides), dan entog (Cairina moschata). Sampel kutu diambil dari berbagai bagian tubuh unggas dan diidentifikasi menggunakan kunci identifikasi morfologi. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan keberadaan genus Menacanthus dan Menopon pada ayam dan kalkun, dan keberadaan eksklusif Lipeurus pada ayam. Kutu Anaticola pada entog dan angsa, Colpocephalum pada merpati kipas dan angsa, Columbicola dan Campanulotes secara eksklusif pada merpati kipas, serta Holomenopon secara eksklusif pada angsa. Infestasi kutu pada semua jenis unggas menunjukkan prevalensi 100%, kecuali pada entog dengan prevalensi 40%. Ketidaktersediaan kunci identifikasi kutu unggas sampai tingkat spesies, menjadikan hasil identifikasi tidak lengkap. Hasil penelitian menunkjukkan bahwa peternak harus berwaspada tentang dampak infestasi kutu yang kronis dan merugikan

Judul: Penyelesaian Numerik Persamaan Schrödinger untuk Molekul BaO dan SrO Menggunakan Model Potensial Morse
Abstrak: Morse potential is a potential model used to describe the behavior of a molecular vibration between atoms. This study aimed to obtain the value of the dissociation energy, the energy eigenvalues of each energy level, and describe the shape of the wave function of the molecule BaO and SrO on the vibrational state. Dissociation energy is calculated by adding the experimental dissociation energy and the ground state energy eigenvalues. Calculating the energy eigenvalues of the energy levels 0 to 4 using shooting method integrated with Numerov and Runge-Kutta method. Energy eigenvalues of each levels that calculated numerically having accuracy of 100% compared with the calculated analytically. The profil of wave functions accurately show the corresponding states and their normalized wavefunctions.
