Judul: The Growth Pattern Based on Body Weight and Body Measurements from Local Sheep at Jonggol Animal Science Teaching and Research Unit (UP3J)
Abstrak: The objective of this research was to know the growth pattern from local sheep in population based on body weight and body measurements. This research has been done from July up to August 2007 at UP3J. Local sheep based on sex (159 males and 330 females) was identified by teeth to classify their age such as birth to weaning (2 months), weaning to 12 months of age, I1, I2, I3, I4 and I5. Variables in this research were body weight and body measurements such as wither height, body length, chest width, chest circumference and chest depth. Data obtained were analyzed using t-student test to compare average body weight and body measurement based on sex, Pearson correlation was used to measure relationship between body weight and body measurements. Minitab V. 14 package program was used to analyze the data. The result showed that the growth rate on fast from conception to birth and to puberty. At puberty period, the growth rate started to slow down until the age of maturity was reashed. The highest score found by Pearson correlation in male pre weaning was 0,958 between body weight and chest circumference, whereas in female pre weaning was 0,962 between body weight and chest depth.

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%.
