Judul: Persentase Karkas, Lemak Abdomen, dan Potongan Komersial Ayam Broiler yang Diberi Plantarisin sebagai Feed Additive
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas penggunaan plantarisin sebagai alternatif penggunaan Antibiotik Growth Promotor di dalam pakan terhadap persentase karkas, lemak abdominal, dan potongan komersil (dada, paha, pangkal paha, sayap, punggung) ayam broiler. Penelitian ini menggunakan 280 ekor ayam broiler jantan strain Lohman MB 202 dengan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) terdiri dari 7 perlakuan 4 ulangan. Perlakuan tersebut yaitu P0: Kontrol (ransum tanpa penambahan Plantarisin), N1 : P0 + Plantarisin Native 0.05 %, N2 : P0 + Plantarisin Native 0.10 %, N3 : P0 + Plantarisin Native 0.15 %, R1 : P0 + Plantarisin Rekombinan 0.05 %, R2 : P0 + Plantarisin Rekombinan 0.10 %, R3 : P0 + Plantarisin Rekombinan 0.15 %. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukan pemberian plantarisin berpegaruh nyata (P<0.05) terhadap persentase paha dengan persentase tertinggi pada perlakuan R1, dan tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0.05) terhadap persentase karkas, lemak abdomen, dada, pangkal paha, sayap, dan punggung ayam broiler. Penambahan plantarisin dalam pakan memberikan pengaruh yang sama dengan kontrol.

Judul: Efektivitas Pemberian Plantarisin dalam Ransum sebagai Feed Additive terhadap Performa Ayam Broiler
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh penggunaan plantarisin sebagai alternatif Antibiotic Growth Promotor terhadap performa ayam broiler. Ternak yang digunakan adalah ayam broiler jantan strain New Lohmann (MB 202) sebanyak 280 ekor. Penelitian dilakukan selama 5 minggu. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 7 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Perlakuan yang digunakan adalah P0: Ransum Kontrol (ransum tanpa penambahan plantarisin), N1: Ransum Kontrol + Plantarisin Native 0.05%, N2: Ransum Kontrol + Plantarisin Native 0.10%, N3: Ransum Kontrol + Plantarisin Native 0.15%, R1: Ransum Kontrol + Plantarisin Rekombinan 0.05%, R2: Ransum Kontrol + Plantarisin Rekombinan 0.10% dan R3: Ransum Kontrol + Plantarisin Rekombinan 0.15%. Peubah yang diamati ialah konsumsi ransum, bobot badan, pertambahan bobot badan, konversi ransum dan mortalitas ayam broiler. Disimpulkan bahwa penambahan plantarisin sebagai feed additive tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap konsumsi ransum, bobot badan, pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi ransum. Mortalitas ayam selama penelitian relatif tinggi, yaitu 10% dari populasi ayam yang dipelihara. Kata kunci: antibiotik, broiler, performa, plantarisin ABSTRACT MUHAMMAD JORDY ANDRIAN PAHLEVI. Effectiveness of Plantaricin Addition as Feed Additive in the Diet on Performance of Broiler Chicken. Supervised RITA MUTIA and WIDYA HERMANA. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of plantaricin as an alternative to the use of Antibiotic Growth Promotor in feed to the performance of broiler chickens. This study used 280 male New Lohmann (MB 202) broiler chickens with completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 7 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were P0: Control (ration without addition of Plantaricin), N1: P0 + Plantaricin Native 0.05%, N2: P0 + Plantaricin Native 0.10%, N3: P0 + Plantaricin Native 0.15%, R1: P0 + Plantaricin Rekombinan 0.05%, R2: P0 + Plantaricin Rekombinan 0.10% and R3: P0 + Plantaricin Rekombinan 0.15%. The variables observed were feed consumption, body weight, body weight gain, feed conversion and broiler mortality. It concluded that the addition of plantaricin as a feed additive did not influence feed consumption, body weight, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio. Chicken mortality during the research was relatively high, ie 10% of the chicken population was maintained.

Judul: Thermal Characteristics and Dynamics of Tropical Cyclone over Western North Pacific Ocean: A Case Study of Typhoon Songda (Chedeng) 2011
Abstrak: The frequent occasion of Tropical Cyclone (TC) over Western North Pacific (WNP) Ocean lies from 10˚N to 26˚N and 121˚E to 170˚E. Sources of TC development come from warm ocean temperature where latent heat is released during condensation processes and subsequently concentrated in the boundary layer. Relative humidity at 850-700 hPa is responsible to produce the most intense storm. Meanwhile, weak vertical wind shear between 850-200 hPa is one of the dynamical factors that lead to the development of TC. Pressure level of 850-200 hPa is chosen to minimize the thermodynamic effect in the lower troposphere. Typhoon Songda (Chedeng in the Philippines) or TSC lasted from May 18th to 30th, 2011 and strengthened into powerful Super Typhoon stage between May 24th and 27th. Long curving track and the exhibition of all sequences of TC life cycle, TSC is then considered as an ideal case of TC. The objective of the study with case of TSC is to investigate the role of thermal characteristics and dynamics on TC intensity. The research is carried out by using Advanced Research of Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF ARW model) version 3.3. Two domains are employed in the model. The first domain situate from 02˚N to 40˚N and 118˚E to 149˚E and cover spatial resolution () of 33.1 km. The second domain situate from 09˚N to 27˚N and 119˚E to 132˚E with of 11 km. Timestep of the model () is 120 seconds. The model is supported by the following physical parameterization, i.e., Yonsei University Scheme (YSU) in the boundary layer, Kain-Fritsch scheme (KF) in the cumulus, and WRF Single-Moment 3-class scheme in the microphysics. Initial meteorological condition prior to the formation of the cyclone is generated using WRF ARW standard-release model. Sensitivity of the model output is obtained from a selected single-parameter change scenarios, namely, 10 % to 20 % decrease and increase of wind shear initial data at 850-200 hPa, and by 10 % to 20 % decrease of relative humidity initial data at 850-700 hPa. The result showed that the negative correlations between wind shear and intensity are found in wind shear scenarios. Wind shears of 10 ms-1 which lead to strengthening of the wind intensity in the early period of Typhoon development are found in wind shear scenarios. The effect of wind shear changes on wind intensity is statistically significant in the 20 % wind shear scenarios. During mature stage, weak wind intensity occurred when wind shear increase as given in the WRF standard-release and the 20 % decreasing scenario. Different situation is found in the 20 % increasing scenario where wind shear tend to weak and lead to strong wind intensity at this stage. Meanwhile, the reduction of moisture supply at 850-700 hPa resulting from 20 % decreasing relative humidity play a major role in the weakening of wind intensity and reduces mechanical energy of the cycle process as much as 300 J kg-1.
