Abstrak: Milk is one of agricultural commodity which have good prospect to be developed. It caused of national milk consumption doesn’t have fulfilled by the national milk production, increasing of income, population of Indonesia, the habitual changes of animal consumption, the realized of nutrition need, and the change of citizen lifestyle. But, the member’s income of cow farmer cooperation as supporter of national milk production has tend to stabile, while production cost (especially for concentrate food) has tend to increase by years. It cause milk quality doesn’t improve and bargaining position of farmer is getting weaker. One of cooperation which has biggest milk production is KPSBU Jawa Barat. In 2009, there is quota regulatory which cause some of milk from cooperation is dumped. One thing that do to prevent the dump of milk is make a production subcontract with PT ISAM. Whereas, if cooperation had their own milk factory, the cooperation would have more benefit for itself and the members. To compare which more feasible from sterilized milk production between make a production subcontract with PT ISAM with have own milk factory, so the business feasible analysis from nonfinancial and financial aspect is need to do. Nonfinancial aspect is consist of market, technical production, management, legal, social, economy and environmental aspect. Financial aspect are analyzed by using criteria such as NPV, IRR, Net B/C and payback period. The analysis was also conducted to determine the change of some variables. The result of nonfinancial aspect of the analysis states that the market, technical production, management, legal, social, economy and environmental aspect of all scenario is feasible. On the financial aspect criteria, there is two scenario which feasible (scenario I and III), while the scenario II is not feasible because it hasn’t fulfilled the criteria.

Judul: Distribution and Diversity of Ectoparasite Mites on Geckos in Indonesia
Abstrak: Data on the diversity and dispersal of parasitic mites on house geckos in Indonesia are very scarce. In this work, the distribution and diversity of mites living on three species of house geckos, namely Cosymbotus platyurus, Hemidactylus frenatus, and H. garnotii collected throughout Indonesia, has been elaborated. Geckos and mites were captured and immediately preserved in 70% ethanol. Whole mount of the mites was prepared by clearing in lactophenol followed by mounting on polyvinyl lactophenol solutions. The SEM preparation was conducted to examine the detail morphological characters of the mites. The results showed that among 448 individuals of geckos, 221 geckos were infected by Geckobia mites. Prevalences of C. platyurus, H. frenatus, and H. garnotii infested by mites were 14.8%, 50.69%, and 79.6%, respectively. Three different spesies of Geckobia (G1, G2, and G3) could be differentiated; and based on similarities of their morphological characters to ones described in published literatures, Geckobia G2 is Geckobia glebosum and Geckobia G3 is Geckobia bataviensis while G1 could not be identified to the species level. The highest mean intensity of Geckobia G1 infestation was found on H. garnotii (I=7.0), G. glebosum infestation on H. frenatus (I=3.5), and G. bataviensis infestation on H. garnotii (I=11.8). In general, C. platyurus was infested by the least number of mites. Geckobia G1 were found living on the skin folds on the claws, G. glebosum were found mainly on the body and thigh, and G. bataviensis were found on almost all parts of the host’s body. Geckobia mites are distributed randomly throughout Indonesian Archipelago, following the pattern of distribution of their hosts. So it is concluded that Geckobia G1, G. glebosum, and G. bataviensis are sympatric.
