Judul: Karakteristik Pertumbuhan Pra dan Pascasapih Domba Lokal di Unit Pendidikan dan Penelitian Peternakan Jonggol Institut Pertanian Bogor (UP3J-IPB)
Abstrak: Selection program on sheep needs some important factors like season, sex, body weight and age of dam. This research was aimed to get the characteristic of pre and post-weaning growth of local sheep in Jonggol Animal Science Teaching and Research Unit (JASTRU) IPB and selection criteria. The result can be used as a basic information on selection program to grade up the genetic properties of these sheep. This research located at JASTRU IPB, Singasari Village, sub district of Jonggol from June 2007 to May 2008 which represent two different seasons, rainy and dry. The number of sheep in the beginning of research was 154 head and in the end of research was only 33 head. The result showed that the value of Temperature Humidity Index were on slight and adequate heat. Statistic t test showed that there was a significant difference (p<0,05) between male and female birth weight in rainy season but in age of 90 and 180 day showed no significant difference. Also, birth weight between rainy and dry season was significantly different (P<0,05) and body weight on age 90 and 180 day was not significantly different. Variance analysis showed that age of dam significantly affected the male birth weight in dry season (p<0,05) and female birth weight in rainy season (p<0,05). The highest lamb body weight was owned by lamb from 2,5 to 3,0 years of dam. Pre-weaning weekly average daily gain (ADG) was higher than that of post-weaning, both on male and female, and rainy and dry season. Body weight on age 90 day can be used as a selection criteria and selection on dam can be done at age 1 to 2 years of age. Selection response of 90 day weight in dry season was higher than that of rainy season.

Judul: Studi Morfometrik Domba Lokal Jantan Di Unit Pendidikan Dan Penelitian Peternakan Jonggol Sebagai Kriteria Seleksi
Abstrak: Jonggol local sheep is very potential to be developed at Jonggol Animal Science Teaching and Research Unit (JASTRU). The sheep have been well adapted to marginal environments including hot and dry weather, ectoparasites, and limited feed supply. However their growth rate performances still vary among the sheep. It is therefore selection needs to be conducted to get fast growing sheep. Daily gain was used as a standard of differing fast growing sheep and slow growing sheep. Sheep with daily gain above 100gr/head/day was categorized as fast growing sheep and daily gain under 80gr/head/day as the slowing group. The results show that shoulder height, body length, chest circumference, upper neck circumference, lower neck circumference, head length, and mouth circumference were significantly higher at fast growing sheep than slow growing group. Similar results were found that circumference of right foreleg and left upper hind leg, and circumference of hind pastern either at left or right sides were significantly higher at fast growing sheep than slow growing group. This may indicate that the parameters can be used as selection criteria for fast growing sheep. and the parameters can be used as selection criteria to obtain fast growing sheep. On the contrary, chest depth, neck length, tail length, circumference of left foreleg and right upper hind leg, and circumference of neck to thoracic limb and hind pastern either at left or right sides were similar between the two groups of sheep, indicating the three parameters might not be used as the selection criteria. Almost all parameters had positive correlation between one and the other parameters especially daily gain.

Judul: Katalis Zink Ferit Tersubstitusi Cu untuk Oksidasi Benzil Alkohol
Abstrak: Katalis berperan dalam menurunkan energi aktivasi. Katalis ZnFe2O4 dan ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu disintesis menggunakan metode kopresipitasi untuk digunakan dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol. Katalis dicirikan dengan spektrofotometer inframerah (FTIR) dan difraktometer sinar-X. Spektrum FTIR menunjukkan puncak serapan dari ikatan Zn-O dan Fe-O masing-masing pada rentang 559‒575 cm-1 dan 419‒447 cm-1. Difraktogram menunjukkan terbentuknya fase tunggal Zn0.6Cu0.4Fe2O4 pada katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20%. Benzil alkohol dioksidasi dengan sistem refluks. Konversi benzil alkohol meningkat dengan meningkatnya suhu. Kadar benzaldehida yang dihasilkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan katalis ZnFe2O4 yang tidak tersubstitusi dan yang tersubstitusi Cu 60 dan 80%. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa katalis ZnFe2O4 tersubstitusi Cu 20% memiliki kinerja yang lebih baik dalam oksidasi benzil alkohol menjadi benzaldehida dengan kadar benzaldehida 8.763%.
