Judul: Prevalence of Helminthiasis in Sport Horses at One Stable in Cibinong District, Bogor Regency, West Java.
Abstrak: Kecacingan pada kuda merupakan satu di antara beberapa faktor yang dapat memengaruhi produktivitas serta performa kuda. Penelitian mengenai kecacingan pada kuda atlet di Bogor belum banyak dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis cacing parasit serta mengukur prevalensi dan derajat kecacingan pada kuda atlet di satu stable di Kecamatan Cibinong, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat. Sebanyak 41 sampel feses dikumpulkan dan diperiksa menggunakan metode flotasi sederhana, filtrasi bertingkat, dan McMaster. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 41 (100%) kuda atlet yang diteliti terinfeksi hanya oleh jenis cacing nematoda strongylida dengan derajat infeksi rendah sampai tinggi. Tidak ada kuda yang terinfeksi oleh cacing dari kelompok trematoda maupun cestoda. Sebagian besar kuda terinfeksi dengan derajat infeksi sedang yaitu sebesar 48,78%. Nilai rataan total telur per tinja dari setiap kategori umur dan jenis kelamin berada di rentang derajat infeksi sedang (200-500) dengan persentase paling tinggi ada pada derajat infeksi sedang (umur = 15 tahun 41,18%; umur, Helminthiasis in horse is one of several factors that can affect horse productivity and performance. The research on helminthiasis in sport horses in Bogor was very limited. This study aimed to identify the types of parasitic helminth and measure the prevalence and degree of helminthiasis in horses at a stable in Cibinong district, Bogor Regency, West Java. A total of 41 fecal samples were collected and examined using sample flotation, multistage filtration, and McMaster methods. The results showed that 41 (100%) horses were infected by only strongyle nematode species with low to high infection rates. No horses were infected with worms from the trematode or cestode groups. Most horses were infected with a moderate degree of infection at 48.78%. The mean value of total eggs per feces from each age and sex category was in the moderate infection degree range (200- 500) with the highest percentage in the moderate infection degree (age = 15 years 41.18%; age

Judul: Gastrointestinal Helminth Infections in Horses in The Cipanas Palace
Abstrak: Infeksi cacing saluran pencernaan dapat menyebabkan penyakit dan memiliki dampak besar pada kuda. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan menghitung derajat infeksi kecacingan pada kuda di Istana Cipanas. Sampel feses diambil dari kandang individu kemudian dibawa ke Laboratoium dengan menggunakan coolbox. Sampel diperiksa dengan menggunakan metode pengapungan sederhana, McMaster dan filtrasi bertingkat untuk menentukan infeksi cacing saluran pencernaan. Sampel yang positif nematoda strongyle di siapkan untuk kemudian dilakukan pemupukan feses untuk mendapatkan larva infektif (L3) untuk di identifikasi lebih lanjut. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa semua kuda (18) di Istana Cipanas positif terinfeksi nematoda strongyle. Jumlah rata-rata telur tiap gram tinja (TTGT) sebesar 669,44. Kategori infeksi mulai dari infeksi ringan hingga sedang. Delapan kuda terinfeksi nematoda strongyle dengan kategori infeksi ringan dengan TTGT 50 hingga 450. Sepuluh kuda masuk dalam kategori infeksi sedang dengan TTGT 500 hingga 1800. Berdasarkan identifikasi larva, jenis nematoda strongyle yang ditemukan pada kuda di Istana Cipanas yaitu 100% Cyathostomine. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jenis Cyathostomine yang ditemukan didominasi oleh tipe A sebanyak 67%, kemudian tipe C 20%, tipe G 5%, tipe D 3%, tipe F dan H 2%, dan tipe B 1%. Diperlukan strategi manajemen untuk mencegah infeksi ulang kecacingan pada kuda di Istana Cipanas., Gastrointestinal helminth infection cause diseases and have great impacts to the horse. This research aimed to observe the type and degree of gastrointestinal helminth infection on horses in Cipanas Palace. Faecal samples were collected individualy in cage and transported to the Laboratory in a coolbox. Samples were examined using the simple floatation , McMaster and filtration methods to determine gastrointestinal helminth infections. Samples that were positive with strongyle nematodes were provided for fecal culture to obtain the infective larvae stage (L3) for further identification. The result showed all (18) horses in Cipanas Palace were positive to strongyle nematode infection. The average amount of strongyle nematode eggs per gram of feces (EPG) were 669,44. The category of infection were ranging from light to mild infection. There were 8 horses in category of light infection with 50 to 450 EPG and 10 horses in moderate infection category with 500 to 1800 EPG. Based on the larval identification, the strongyle types that found in horses of Cipanas Palace was 100% Cyathostomine. The result showed that the type of Cyathostomine species were type A as much as 67%, the type C 20%, type G 5%, type D 3%, type F and H 2%, and type B 1%. Management strategy is required to prevent the reinfection of helminth to horses in The Cipanas Palace.

Judul: Sintesis BaTiO3 dari Campuran Ba(OH)2 dan TiO2 dengan Tambahan PbO
Abstrak: Piezoelectric material can generate electric field in response to applied mechanical stress. Conversely, they can stretch and contract in response to an electric field. This material can be used for many applications such as transducer, microphone, ultrasound, and pressure gauge. Barium titanate is a ferroelectric material with piezoelectric properties that can be synthesized easily. The aim of this study is to synthesis barium titanate from mixture of Ba(OH)2 and TiO2, also observe its optimum temperature and the effect of PbO addition. The method of synthesis was solid-state reaction and sol-gel method, then the products were characterized with x-ray diffraction (XRD). Based on XRD analysis, the optimum temperature for both methods was 800°C. Addition of PbO to BaTiO3 in the solid-state reaction formed a compound with formula of Ba1-xPbxTiO3. The addition has changed diffraction pattern peak at 2θ and strengthened its tetragonal structure. The best result was obtained at x of 0.5 which will form a compound of Ba0.5Pb0.5TiO3.
