Abstrak: The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of Haemonchus contortus infection on the weight gain of thin tail sheep. Twenty thin tail sheep, which have previously been freed from helminth infection were devided into five groups. One group served as uninfected controls, whereas the other four groups were infected experimentaly with 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 H. contortus. The animal were weighed weekly for eigth weeks. At the end of the study all sheep were slaugtered for worm counting of H. contortus in abomasum. Degrees of infection were catagorized based on the number of worm into three groups namely mild (1-250), moderate (251-500), and heavy infection (>500). Results of this study showed there were decreased weight gain of 1170 g, 1703 g, 1633 g, 2680 g for control, mild, moderat and heavy infection. The percentage decline of weight gain on mild group was 10 %, moderat group was 11 % and 16 % heavy infection group was compared with at begining of experiment

Abstrak: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Haemonchus contortus infection to white blood cell profile of Javanese thin tail sheep. Twenty males Javanese thin tailed sheep were divided into five groups, namely infected group of 500 L3, 1000 L3, 2000 L3, 4000 L3 and uninfective group as control. The blood and fecal samples were collected from rectum before and three weeks after infection. The blood samples were collected using venoject® from Jugular vein. The fecal samples were collected directly from rectum. The blood samples were examined to determine total of white blood cell (leukocytes) and white blood cell differential, whereas fecal samples to determine egg per gram. The result showed that Haemonchus contortus infections cause an increased total of leukocyte but were not significantly different among of level infection doses (P>0.05). Number of eosinophils were significantly different among uninfected group (P<0.05), but were not significantly different in number of lymphocyte, monocyte, and neutrophil (P>0.05). There where positively correlated significantly between the amount of egg per gram (EPG) and profile of eosinophil (P<0.05), however were negatively correlated significantly between the amount of egg per gram (EPG) and neutrophil’s profile (P<0.05). There where no correlation significantly between the amount of egg per gram (EPG) and profile of white blood cell, lymphocyte, and monocyte (P>0.05).

Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
