Judul: Improving Rice Straw Feeding with Supplementation Technology on Performance of Female Peranakan Ongole (PO) Cattles in Rembang Regency
Abstrak: Beef cattle fattening and breeding are the main programs done by people in Rembang Regency in the Province of Middle Java. Peranakan Ongole (PO) cattle is a local beef cattle that is usually kept by people in Rembang Regency. Rice straw and rice bran are usually used as feeds by the farmers, especially during dry season. Supplementation to this kind of diet is aimed at increasing the female PO cattle performance. Therefore, the objective of this experiment is to study the effect of rice straw supplementation on production performance. This experiment was conducted in Rembang Regency for 40 days using 16 female PO cattles with 4 treatments and 4 blocks. Treatments were R1 = 100% rice straw, R2 = R1 + 2 kg rice bran, R3 = R2 + 0.4 kg nutrient enriched supplement (SKN) and R4 = complete ration consisting of rice straw, rice bran and SKN. The variables observed were dry matter intake, average daily gain and body size measurements with its average daily growths (body length, chest girth, wither height, chest width and chest depth). All data were collected and analyzed by analysis of variance with randomized block design. The results of this study showed that rice straw supplementation affected dry matter intake (P<0.01) and chest girth (P<0.05), but did not affect (P>0.05) significantly average daily gain, body length, wither height, chest width, chest depth and average daily growths of body size measurements (body length, chest girth, wither height, chest width and chest depth).

Judul: Performance Peranakan Ongole (PO) Heifer with Concentrate and Fermented Feed during the Reconditioning Period
Abstrak: Performa sapi dara menjadi hal penting untuk menunjang produktifitasnya. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh pemberian kombinasi sorinfer sebagai substitusi sebagian konsentrat terhadap performa produksi sapi dara Peranakan Ongole (PO) selama periode rekondisi. Sapi yang digunakan pada penelitia ini yaitu sapi dara PO berumur 1−2 tahun (I0−I1) sebanyak 12 ekor dengan rataan bobot awal 177,17±20,35 kg. Penelitian ini menggunakan 3 perlakuan ransum yaitu konsentrat yang dikombinasikan sorinfer dan jerami. Rasio konsentrat, sorinfer, dan jerami adalah 50:20:30 (R1), 35:35:30 (R2), dan 20:50:30 (R3). Peubah yang diamati diantaranya suhu dan kelembapan lingkungan, Temperature Humidity Index (THI), konsumsi ransum as feed, konsumsi BK, konsumsi PK, konsumsi TDN, konversi ransum as feed, konversi BK, Pertambahan Bobot Badan (PBB), bobot akhir, dan feed cost per gain (FCG). Data dianalisis sidik peragam (ANCOVA), kemudian diuji dengan Least Square Mean menggunakan Statistical Analysis Software (SAS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan konsumsi ransum as feed perlakuan R3 nyata lebih tinggi (P<0,05) dibandingkan dengan perlakuan lainnya. Konversi ransum as feed dan FCG untuk ketiga perlakuan tidak berbeda secara nyata. PBB perlakuan R2 dan R3 nyata lebih tinggi dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya (P<0,05). Perlakuan R2 dan R3 menghasilkan rekondisi sapi dara terbaik berdasarkan konsumsi as feed, konsumsi BK, konsumsi PK, konsumsi TDN, PBB, dan bobot akhir., The performance of heifers is important to support their productvity. The purpose of this study isto examine the effect of partial substitution of concentrate feed with sorinfer silage on the production performance of peranakan ongole (PO) heifer during the reconditioning period. The experiment used 12 heads of PO heifers aging 1−2 years (I0−I1) with an initial liveweight of 177,17±20,35 kg. This experiment used 3 ration treatments, namely combination concentrate, sorinfer silage, and hay with a ratio of 50:20:30 (R1), 35:35:30 (R2), and 20:50:30 (R3). The observed parameters included ambient temperature and humidity, Temperature Humidity Index (THI), feed consumption, feed conversion, daily body weight gain, final live weight, and feed cost per kg live weight gain (FCG). The data were analyzed by analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and between treatments differences were tested using least Square Means (LS Means) method. The results showed that the R3 consumption as fed was significantly higher (P<0,05) compared to the other two feed treatments. Feed conversions and FCG were not significantly different among treatments. Body weight gain of R2 and R3 treatments were significantly higher compared to R1 treatment (P<0,05). The R2 and R3 treatments gave the best results for reconditioning heifers based on as feed consumption, dry matter feed consumption, PK consumption TDN consumption, live weight gain, and final live weight.

Judul: Hamiltonian formulation for linear waves motion in two layers fluid
Abstrak: The surface wave could be considered as a wave that separates two fluids, namely water and air. Based on this assumption, it is introduced the interfacial wave, a wave between two layers of fluid with different density. The formulation of interfacial waves motion begins with deriving the base equation of irrotational ideal fluid. Furthermore, according to irrotational fluid assumption, the base equation can be stated in velocity potential. In this derivation, the fluids domain is assumed to be restricted by rigid lid boundary conditions, both at the upper and lower limit. Therefore, the interfacial waves motion can be explained in a hamiltonian formulation. In the hamiltonian formulation, total energy is defined as the sum of kinetic and potential energy. The hamiltonian system is obtained from reduction of kinetic energy by using the Dirichlet Neumann Operator. The resulted kinetic energy equation is nonlinear. Therefore, this form is linearized by first part of the Taylor expansion. This linearization gives a dispersion relation of linear wave. Based on this dispersion relation, the phase speed of the linear wave depends on the density ratio of the two layers fluid.
