Judul: Kecernaan Ransum Berbasis Jerami  Padi yang Diberi Tepung Daun Murbei  Sebagai Substitusi Konsentrat Pada  Sapi Peranakan Ongole
Abstrak: Mulberry leaf has a great potential as animal feed because of its high nutrient content. It has 20,4% crude protein, therefore it can be used as substitution for concentrate. The aims of this experience was to study effect of mulberry leaf as substitution of concentrate in PO cattle. This experiment used completely randomize design with 3 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were P1 (50% rice straw + 50% concentrate/control), P2 (50% rice straw + 25% concentrate+ 25% mulberry leaf), P3 (50% rice straw + 50% mulberry leaf). This experiment was conducted for 2 months with 2 weeks adaptation periode. Variables observed were dry matter digestibility, crude protein digestibility, crude fiber digestibility, extract eter digestibility, and total production of rumen VFA. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Variance, and differences among treatments were tested with Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results showed that mulberry leaf can substitute concentrate at most 50%. The addition of mulberry leaf significantly (P<0.05) increased crude fiber digestibility but decreased crude protein and eter extract digestibility. The mixture between concentrate and mulberry leaf increased dry matter digestibility and the amount of total VFA.

Judul: Evaluasi Kualitas Protein Pakan Berbasis Jerami Padi Dengan Daun Murbei Sebagai Pengganti Konsentrat Pada Sapi Peranakan Ongole
Abstrak: Rice straw is the predominant dry season feed for cattle, despite its low nutritive value. It is deficient in readily fermentable energy, nitrogen, minerals and vitamins, and cannot provide for optimum microbial growth in the rumen or tissue development of the host. Mulberry belongs to the genus Morus of the family Moraceae. Mulberry (M. alba) foliage, characterized by its high digestibility and good protein content, has great possibilities for use in animal feeding, both for ruminants and for monogastrics. The aim of this experiment was to investigate and evaluate quality of protein content from the ration based on rice straw, which is combinated with mulberry to substitute the concentrate as feed for cattle. The experiment was conducted for 56 days with the adaptation periods for 2 weeks. This experiment used completely randomized design, with 3 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments were P1 as control (50% rice straw + 50% concentrate), P2 (50% rice straw + 25% concentrate + 25% Mulberry leaves), P3 (50% rice straw + 50% Mulberry leaves). This experiment used 217.16 ± 10.53 kg male ongole crossbreed. The variables measured were protein consumption, protein digestibility, nitrogen retention, NH3 concentration, allantoin urine and total VFA concentration. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan Multiple Range Test further tested the significant differences. The cattle given P2 treatment showed the best result for protein consumption (0.96 kg/d) compared to P3 (0.86 kg/d), allantoin urine (1.73 g/d) compared to P1 (2.23 g/d) and total VFA concentration (108.75 mM) compared to P1 (75.33 mM). It can be concluded that quality of mulberry leaves protein can be used to substitute 50% concentrate in the ration as feed protein resources for ruminants especially increasing protein consumption, allantoin urine and total VFA.

Judul: Metrik Einstein (Anti-) Self-Dual Berdimensi Empat dengan Metode Cartan
Abstrak: Gravitational field equation can be formulated in differential forms (differential geometry), which describes gravity as a manifestation of the curvature of space-time. Curvature of space-time is characterized by a metric that satisfies the gravitational field equation. With differential forms it can be formulated the (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation, which is a modification of the Cartan structure in (anti-) self-dual basis. Calculation of (anti-) self-dual metric with (anti-) self-dual Einstein equation is simpler than the calculation using Christoffel symbols.
