Abstrak: Research was conducted to evaluate erythrocyte indices of male new zealand white rabbits undergoing the urethrotomy surgery. Fifteen males NZW rabbits used in this study and distributed to three treatment groups. Treatment groups are slicing urethra up serous layer group, slicing urethra through mucosal lining group, and abdominal skin group as control. Blood samples were collected via auricularis vein. Based on statistic test, at the end of operation (H+0) and interval 7 days postoperatively (H+7) no significant difference in the results obtained for erythrocyte indices. Erythrocyte indices (MCV and MCHC) group serous, mucous, and abdominal skin showed the same result were microcytic–normochromic anemia. However, the microcytic–normochromic anemia resulted from iron deficiency due to poor feed quality.

Abstrak: The experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding complete ration in pellet form containing Indigofera zollingeriana and lamtoro (Leucaena leucocephala) leaves on sperm quality of New Zealand White crossbred rabbits. The rabbits were grouped according into 5 treatments with 4 replications. The treatments were R0 (commercial fed), R1 (complete ration containing 30% lamtoro leaves), R2 (complete ration containing 20% lamtoro leaves and 10% Indigofera leaves), R3 (complete ration containing 10% lamtoro leaves and 20% Indigofera. leaves), R4 (complete ration containing 30% Indigofera leaves). All of rations were fed to tested rabbits for 60 days, with preliminary trial period for 14 days. Semen was collected and its quality according to treatment were analyzed macroscopically and microscopically. The data were analyzed with statistic of descriptive. The results showed that there were no significant effect among given ration on sperm motility, viability and abnormality percentage of the rabbits. The range of percentage sperm motility, viability and abnormalities were 0%-70%, 46.88%-94.33%, 2.87%-19.33%, respectively. It is concluded that all complete rations containing Indigofera zollingeriana and lamtoro leaves played positive role on spermatogenesis in rabbit.

Abstrak: Komponen penyusun plastik terdiri atas dua jenis, yaitu komponen utama berupa polimer (resin) yang merupakan komponen terbesar dari bahan plastik dan aditif. Aditif adalah komponen yang sangat penting pada plastik, walaupun hanya dalam jumlah sedikit tidak lebih dari 5%. Aditif digunakan pada plastik untuk meningkatkan sifat fungsionalnya seperti ketahanan terhadap api, kekuatan, dan fleksibilitas. Salah satu zat aditif paling penting adalah pemlastis (plasticizer). Pemlastis menguasai 65% dari 7.5 juta ton pasar zat aditif di dunia yang setara dengan US$7,6 miliar. Kegunaan utama, yaitu sekitar 90%, digunakan untuk polivinil klorida (PVC). Bahan pemlastis ditambahkan pada PVC agar tidak bersifat kaku dan rapuh dan pemlastis terbesar yang digunakan sekarang ini diambil dari kelompok senyawa ftalat (ester turunan dari asam ftalat). Pemlastis jenis ftalat seperti dietilheksil adipat (DEHA), dietilheksil ftalat (DEHP), dan dioktil ftalat (DOP) merupakan pemlastis berbahan dasar minyak bumi (petrokimia) yang dikategorikan berbahaya dan toksik.
