Judul: Production Performance of Whiteleg Shrimp  (Litopenaeus vannamei) Field Scale given Different Feed Additives
Abstrak: Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan fungsi pakan adalah dengan suplementasi bahan tambahan pakan (feed additive) yang memiliki berbagai fungsi baik dalam hal peningkatan kinerja pertumbuhan maupun kesehatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi pengaruh penambahan feed additive yang berbeda terhadap performa pertumbuhan, gambaran darah, dan efisiensi biaya pakan udang vaname Litopenaeus vannamei yang dibudidayakan pada tambak intensif. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua perlakuan dengan tiga kali ulangan, yaitu feed additive 1 (FA1) dan feed additive 2 (FA2). Perlakuan FA1 merupakan perlakuan dengan penggunaan feed additive alternatif yang menggantikan semua feed additive yang digunakan pada perlakuan FA2. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tambak intensif dengan luas kolam 2500 m2 dengan padat tebar 125 ekor/m2 selama 86 hari. Nilai total haemocyte count (THC) menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan (p<0,05) antar kedua perlakuan. Nilai bobot akhir udang pada perlakuan FA1 dan FA2 adalah sebesar 21,65 g dan 20,85 g, dengan pertumbuhan spesifik masing-masing sebesar 9,07 %/hari dan 9,03 %/hari, serta rasio konversi pakan masing-masing sebesar 1,38 dan 1,42. Tingkat kelangsungan hidup perlakuan FA1 memiliki nilai 67,08% sedangkan perlakuan FA2 60,67%, dengan nilai produktivitas pada perlakuan FA1 sebesar 1,57 kg/m2 dan FA2 sebesar 1,33 kg/m2. Udang yang diberi pakan dengan suplementasi feed additive FA1 menunjukkan kinerja pertumbuhan yang tidak berbeda nyata dengan perlakuan FA2, namun dengan biaya feed additive dua kali lebih rendah. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa aplikasi feed additive FA1 dapat diterapkan sebagai alternatif berbagai feed additive yang diberikan pada perlakuan FA2 pada skala lapangan budidaya udang vaname., One of the efforts that can be made to improve the function of feed is by supplementing feed additives which have various functions, both in terms of increasing growth and health performance. This study aims to evaluate the effect of adding different feed additives to growth performance, blood count, and feed cost efficiency of whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei cultured in intensive ponds. This study used two treatments with three replications, namely feed additive 1 (FA1) and feed additive 2 (FA2). FA1 treatment is a treatment with the use of alternative feed additives that replace all feed additives used in FA2 treatment. This research was conducted in intensive ponds with a pond area of 2500 m2 with a stocking density of 125 fish/m2 for 86 days. The value of total haemocyte count (THC) showed a significant difference (p<0.05) between the two treatments. The final weight values of shrimp in FA1 and FA2 treatments were 21.65 g and 20.85 g, with specific growths of 9.07%/day and 9.03%/day, respectively, and feed conversion ratios of respectively. 1.38 and 1.42. The survival rate of FA1 treatment had a value of 67.08% while FA2 treatment was 60.67%, with a productivity value of 1.57 kg/m2 for FA1 treatment and 1.33 kg/m2 for FA2. Shrimp fed with FA1 feed additive supplementation showed growth performance that was not significantly different from FA2 treatment, but with twice the cost of the feed additive. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the application of FA1 feed additives can be applied as an alternative to various feed additives given to the FA2

Judul: Evaluation of micromineral-based feed additive suplementation on growth performance and health of vaname shrimp litopenaeus vannamei
Abstrak: Mineral adalah salah satu mikronutrien yang dibutuhkan makhluk hidup. Mineral mempunyai fungsi dalam metabolisme terutama sebagai kofaktor enzim. Terdapat dua jenis mineral, yaitu makromineral dan mikromineral. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi suplementasi feed additive berbasis mikromineral terhadap pertumbuhan dan kesehatan udang vaname Litopenaeus vannamei. Penelitian menggunakan tiga perlakuan, yaitu kontrol, FA1, dan FA2. Udang yang dipakai adalah udang berbobot 5,95 ± 0,04 g ditebar dalam bak fiber berdiameter 150 cm dengan ketinggian air 70 cm. Setiap bak ditebar 150 ekor udang dan dipelihara selama 70 hari. Udang diberi pakan dengan metode ad restricted/menentukan feeding rate. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan penambahan FA1 dapat meningkatkan nilai SGR pada hari ke-14 dan ke-28, tetapi tidak pada hari ke-42 hingga akhir masa pemeliharaan. Nilai ADG, FCR, PER, dan SR tidak berbeda nyata antar perlakuan hingga akhir masa pemeliharaan. Penambahan FA2 dapat menurunkan nilai THC dan aktivitas fagositosis udang vaname, Minerals are one of the micronutrients needed by organism. Minerals have a function in metabolism, especially as enzyme cofactors. There are two types of minerals, namely macrominerals and microminerals. This study aims to evaluate micromineral-based feed additive supplementation on the growth and health of vaname shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. This study used three treatments, namely control, FA1, and FA2. Shrimp used are shrimp weighing 5.95 ± 0.04 g reared in a fiber tub with a diameter of 150 cm and water level of 70 cm. Each tub was stocked with 150 shrimp and kept for 70 days. Shrimp are fed with an ad restricted method/ determined feeding rate. Results of this study indicated that the addition of FA1 could increase the SGR value on the 14th and 28th days, but not on the 42nd day until the end of the maintenance period. ADG, FCR, PER, and SR values were not significantly different between treatments until the end of the rearing period. The addition of FA2 could reduce the THC value and phagocytosis activity of vaname shrimp

Judul: Metrik Einstein (Anti-) Self-Dual Berdimensi Empat dengan Metode Cartan
Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
