Judul: Evaluation of Beef Cattle Breeding Management from Livestock Aid Grants
Abstrak: Upaya pengembangan sapi potong dalam rangka peningkatan produksi hasil peternakan dilaksanakan oleh Dinas Peternakan dan Kesehatan Hewan Kabupaten Pesisir Selatan melalui program bantuan ternak sapi potong yang diberikan pada kelompok ternak dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan hasil ternak sehingga dapat meningkatkan pendapatan peternak. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi penerapan manajemen pemeliharaan yang baik sesuai dengan standar GFP pada kelompok ternak penerima bantuan. Metode yang digunakan adalah wawancara dan observasi. Kuesioner meliputi pengetahuan reproduksi, manajemen pakan, tatalaksana pemeliharaan, kesehatan dan penyakit serta perkandangan. Dampak penerapan manajemen pemeliharaan diamati berdasarkan BCS sapi potong. Responden penelitian adalah 10 orang anggota kelompok ternak Pincuran Boga Sakato dan 15 orang anggota kelompok ternak Padang Dama II. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian penerapan manajemen pemeliharaan pada kedua kelompok ternak mendapatkan kategori kurang, dengan persentase Pincuran Boga Sakato sebesar (49,95%) dan Padang Dama II (54,86%) Penerapan aspek yang perlu mendapat perhatian adalah pengetahuan reproduksi, tatalaksana pemeliharaan serta kesehatan dan penyakit ternak. Secara keseluruhan performa sapi di kelompok Padang Dama II lebih baik dari pada di kelompok Pincuran Boga Sakato., The efforts to develop beef cattle in order to increase livestock production are carried out by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Animal Health of Pesisir Selatan Regency through a beef cattle grant program to farmers groups with the aim of increasing livestock yields so as to increase farmer income. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of beef cattle management in accordance with GFP standards in groups of farmers. The method used consists of interview and observation. The questionnaire includes knowledge of reproduction, feed management, maintenance management, health and disease and housing. The impact of the implementation beef cattle management was observed based on the BCS of beef cattle. Research respondents were 10 members of the Pincuran Boga Sakato farmers group and 15 members of the Padang Dama II farmers group. Data were analyzed using method. The result of the study on the application of beef cattle management to both group of farmers were categorised in the less category (<60%), the percentage of Pincuran Boga Sakato (49,95%) and Padang Dama II (54,86%) The application of aspects that need attention is the knowledge of reproduction, maintenance management and health and disease of livestock. Overall, the performance of the beef cattle management in Padang Dama II farmers group was better than in the Pincuran Boga Sakato farmers group.

Judul: Evaluation of Good Farming Practice in Beef Cattle Breeding and Breedfat in Astomulyo Village, Central Lampung
Abstrak: Kelompok peternakan pembiakan dan penggemukan sapi yang memiliki kepemilikan ≥100 ekor diperlukan pengelolaan yang profesional berdasarkan pedoman good farming practice guna mencapai produktivitas yang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk untuk mengevaluasi kesesuaian pemeliharaan peternakan sapi breeding serta breedfat dengan standar good farming practice pada usaha peternakan rakyat desa Astomulyo, Kecamatan Punggur, Lampung Tengah. Kuesioner disusun berdasarkan Permentan 46/2015 meliputi aspek pembibitan dan reproduksi, pakan, pengelolaan, kandang dan peralatan, serta kesejahteraan ternak. Penilaian secara kualitatif dilakukan melalui metode observasi dan wawancara kepada 50 peternak di desa Astomulyo menggunakan rubrik penilaian berdasarkan aspek GFP dan dianalisis deskriptif menggunakan metode rating scale. Penerapan GFP di kedua jenis usaha (breeding dan breedfat) mendapatkan kategori kurang (>55%-75%), dengan skor performa terendah pada aspek pengelolaan (0,33/0,8) serta pembibitan dan reproduksi (0,35-0,42/0,8). Nilai performa GFP pada peternakan gabungan/breedfat lebih baik dari peternakan breeding, dengan persentase skor performa GFP berturut-turut 59,20% dan 58,07%., Commercial beef cattle farms over 100 heads, require professional management following good farming practices to achieve optimum productivity. Require professional management based on good farming practice guidelines to achieve optimal productivity. This study aims to assess whether the Good Farming Practice standard is suitable for smallholder farming businesses in Astomulyo Village, Punggur District, Central Lampung Regency.

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.
