Judul: Penerapan good breeding practices sapi potong di PT lembu jantan perkasa Serang-Banten
Abstrak: Cow-calf production is fundamental to the other cattle production system, i.e growing of stocker and cattle finishing. Good Breeding Practices (GBP) for beef cattle is important for breeding goal achievement that is producing breeding animal. The scope of GBP in beef cattle farming includes four aspects: facilities, cattle breeding, environmental protection and supervision. The study aimed to examine the Good Breeding Practices for beef cattle at PT Lembu Jantan Perkasa (LJP) in Serang -Banten. Descriptive analysis was used to review the breeding operation in PT LJP Serang-Banten. The breeding parameters observed were calving interval, service per conception, conception rate, and calving rate. The result showed that in general the company had applied well GBP in its operation. There were several aspects that should be considered to improve the GBP operation those site plant building and security, replacement stock, and animal health. Calving interval are 408 days in 2009 and 372 days in 2010. Service per conception are 1,6 in 2009 and 1,5 in 2010. Conception rate are 78% in 2009 and 88% in 2010 and calving rate are 23% in 2009 and 84% in 2010.

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.
