Judul: The effects of branched chain volatile fatty acids and encapsulated lysine and threonine supplements on protein nutrition of growing holstein
Abstrak: Nutrisi protein pada hewan ruminansia sering dibatasi oleh adanya perkembangan mikroba rumen yang terganggu dan pasokan asam amino pada pasca rumen yang kurang mencukdpi. Dalam praktek pola pemberian pakan pada hewan ruminansia sering mengabaikan penyediaan nutrien yang cukup untuk sintesis biomassa mikroba rumen. Hal ini terutama akan mempengaruhi pencernaan pakan di dalam rumen dan secara umum akan mempengaruhi pasokan nutrien protein bagi induk semang.

Judul: Peran Isolat Bakteri Pencerna Serat Dalam Pencernaan Nutrien Pada Pedet Lepas Sapih Yang Diberi Pakan Periode Pertumbuhan
Abstrak: In Indonesia, milk and beef production do not meet the needs. High calves mortality is one of the factors related to the problem. Reducing calf mortality and shortening weaning period are necessary to improve the population and farmers profit. The research was designed to evaluate the effect of inoculation of fiber degrading bacteria during pre-weaning period of dairy calves on nutrient intake and digestibility in post-weaning. The treatments were control and inoculation of bacteria isolates that applied in four and three Frisian Holstein calves, respectively. Both treatments were applied to the calf by a complete randomized design. Variables measured were nutrient intake, dry and organic matter digestibility, and the concentration of ruminal ammonia (NH3) and volatile fatty acids (VFA). Dry matter intake was determined from the beginning of the experimental period. Nutrient digestibility, ruminal NH3 and VFA concentration were determined four weeks after weaning. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using t-test method with α = 0.05. The results showed that the inoculation of bacteria isolates affected the concentration of ruminal VFA of weaned calves. Inoculation of bacteria isolates had no significant effect on nutrient intake, nutrient digestibility and concentrations of ruminal ammonia. It was concluded that inoculation of fiber degrading bacteria into the rumen of calves in milk feeding period improved nutrient fermentability but not improved nutrient intake and its digestibility in post-weaning period.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
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.
