Judul: Fluktuasi Konsentrasi Kalsium dan Fosfor sebagai Predisposisi Fraktur Ekstrimitas Satwa Liar Felidae di Taman Safari Indonesia Cisarua Bogor
Abstrak: Medical conservation is an important aspect to be developed in Indonesia as a mega biodiversity country Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI) is an ex-situ conservation institution that has challenged on repeating cases of extremity fracture of wild Felidae during 2011-2014. These cases were considered as a non-technical or non-human error. However, the etiology of this case should be performed for future preventive purpose. For this purpose we did retrospective study by evaluating five clinical data of wild Felidae at TSI Cisarua Bogor. Extrimity fracture located on os femur (5), os tibia-fibula (3), os ulna (1), and on one of them was treated with bone pin. The result revealed that the profile of serum calcium and phosphor seemed to be fluctuating. The serum calcium tends to be decreased and considered as a subclinical hypocalcaemia. The serum phosphor tends to be increased four times and considered as a hyperphosphatemia. From five wild Felidae four of them has fluctuation in calcium and phospor serum. The combination of fluctuating subclinical hypocalcaemia and hyperphosphatemia were concidered as predisposition factors of extremity fracture.

Judul: Kajian Retrospektif Kasus Infausta Fraktur Ekstremitas pada Satwa Liar Felidae di Taman Safari Indonesia
Abstrak: Conservation medicine is very important to maintain the survival of endangered animals in captivity or ex-situ conservation site such as Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI). In this position, conservation medicine should be able to judge the recovery progress of ill animal as good prognosis (fausta), bad prognosis (infausta), or doubt prognosis (dubius). In order to study the cause of infausta cases in TSI, we did a retrospective study of six extremity fracture cases on wild felids where three of it were considered infausta during 2011–2014. From the previous study, fluctuation of calcium and phosphor value were found as a predisposition factor of these extremity fractures. Clinical and laboratory data were used to find the complication factors that made these cases infausta. There were five of six felids which had eosinophilia as a figure of non-specific response of continuous degenerative chronic disease such as parasitism. This was confirmed with helminthic material findings in the vomit of one of the felids. Three of six felids died with complication of macrocytic anemia. One of them had a hypochromic macrocytic anemia. From those three, on one of them also had a high value of creatinin and urea, as a figure of glomerulonephritis or hydronephrosis. There was also an increased presentation of lymphocytes indicating a complication of feline viral infection. All these findings have to be a lesson learned in developing conservation medicine.

Judul: Pengaruh jenis jagung terhadap pembuatan beras jagung instan
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis jagung terhadap pembuatan nasi jagung dan menghasilkan beras jagung instan yang praktis atau mudah dalam penyiapannya. Metode penelitian terdiri dari persiapan bahan (pembuatan beras jagung), percobaan 1 (pembuatan nasi jagung dari 3 varietas jagung) dan percobaan 2 (pembuatan beras jagung instan). Hasil rendemen dari pembuatan beras jagung adalah pada varietas Bayu (24.32%), Arjuna (29.68%), dan C-7 (29.85%). Kadar air dari beras jagung dari ketiga varietas jagung tidak berbeda nyata yaitu sekitar 12 %bk. Pembuatan nasi jagung dilakukan menggunakan alat tanak laboratorium dengan 2 metode yaitu rendam-kukus dan aron-kukus. Metode rendam kukus tidak menghasilkan nasi jagung yang bagus dalam waktu yang singkat (± 150 menit). Sedangkan metode aron kukus hanya memerlukan waktu 30 menit (10 menit untuk pengaronan dan 20 menit untuk pengukusan). Hasil dari pembuatan nasi jagung menunjukkan bahwa varietas Bayu dan Arjuna lebih pulen dibanding dengan varietas C-7, sehingga jagung yang dipilih dalam pembuatan beras jagung instan adalah varietas Bayu dan Arjuna. Tahap ketiga adalah pembuatan beras jagung instan. Pembuatan beras jagung instan meliputi perendaman dalam bahan kimia (1:1) selama 2 jam, pengaronan 10 menit, pengukusan 20 menit, dan pengeringan pada oven 60-70°C (3 jam). Larutan perendam yang dipakai adalah air biasa, Na2HPO4 0.2%, Na sitrat 1% dan CaOH 0.1%. Pengujian terhadap beras instan yang dihasilkan meliputi penyerapan air, pengembangan volume, kadar air, rasio rehidrasi, densitas kamba, rendemen dan uji organoleptik. ...
