Judul: Perencanaan Penangkaran Rusa Timor (Cervus timorensis de Blainville) dengan Sistem Farming : Studi Kasus di Penangkaran Rusa Kampus IPB Darmaga
Abstrak: Timor deer (Cervus timorensis de Blainville) is one of Indonesia wildlife species which population growth on natural habitat facing many threats as impact of human activities, like wild hunting and habitat destinction and fragmentation. Timor deer can be developed as livestock in the future its ability in difference geographic area of Indonesia. Farming system is appropriate model to be developed, because majority of Indonesian farmers ha ve about less than 1 hectares of farm area. The objectives of this research are: to analyse suitable location, to analyse breeding plan and economical aspect. The research was caried out in captive breeding field labratory of IPB Darmaga Campus. Equipments which have been used are: digital camera, rool meter, weighing-machine and a set of computer with design program. Materials which used are: map, timor deers and plastic bags. This research used field observation method, literature study and interview method. Pursuant to this research with based on bioecological condition, IPB captive breeding is suitable for timor deer captive location. Farm location was devideed into: headquarter zone 0,10 hectare (2,35%) and captive breeding zone 4,15 hectare (97,65%). Captive breeding management to be executed is farming system. Based on economic analysis, until 21,35% interest, captive breeding with farming system still give advantage if population size of parent stock in first year are 105, and 210 in second year and to be taken care until ninth year, with payback period 4,53 years.

Judul: Management and Visitor Perceptions of Timor Deer  (Rusa timorensis) as a Tourism Object in Deer Breeding at IPB Campus Darmaga Bogor.
Abstrak: Keterancaman dari kelestarian populasi dan habitat menjadi pemicu utama dilakukannya upaya konservasi Rusa Timor (Rusa timorensis), salah satunya melalui upaya penangkaran yang dilakukan di Penangkaran Rusa Kampus IPB Darmaga. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan pengelolaan Rusa Timor dan menganalisis persepsi pengunjung terhadap pemanfaatan Rusa Timor sebagai objek wisata. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada Juni hingga Oktober 2023, melalui observasi lapang dan wawancara dengan pengelola, serta penyebaran dan pengisian kuisioner oleh responden. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa perlu dipertimbangkan mengenai adanya pengaturan reproduksi untuk menghasilkan populasi dan produktivitas rusa di penangkaran yang sejahtera. Pengunjung memberikan persepsi positif terhadap pemanfaatan rusa sebagai objek wisata dan dapat disimpulkan bahwa responden memiliki daya tarik dan mendukung pengembangan penangkaran. Hubungan tersebut perlu dilakukan perbaikan pengelolaan kesejahteraan terhadap rusa, pengelolaan penangkaran, maupun terhadap pengayaan fasilitas penangkaran dan penambahan sarana dan prasarana di lokasi penangkaran.

Judul: Karakteristik Carboxymethyl Chitosan Dengan Variasi Konsentrasi NaOH
Abstrak: Carboxymethyl chitosan is chitosan derivative product obtained from chemical modification. CMCh were made by alkalization process and carboxymethylation process. Factors that affect CMCh characteristics were excess sodium hydroxide in alkalization process, ratio between chitosan and monochloroacetic acid, and carboxymethylation temperature. The objectives of this research were to study the NaOH effect to CMCh characteristics, to learn process of making CMCh, to set the proper concentration of NaOH, and to analyze CMCh characteristics. CMCh yields were 110.72%-114.22%. CMCh pH value were 3.74-4.31. The optimum NaOH concentration to obtain the best CHCh was 10 M. Percentage of CMCh moisture content was 10.70%-11.42%. Ash content and nitrogen content of CMCh were 0.49%-0.50% and 4.52%-4.81%. CMCh viscousity was 8.25 cps. Percentage of CMCh solubility was 61.61%-91.50%. The different functional groups from chitosan which observed in CMCh were C=O group, CH group from alkene functional group, C−O group, and C−O−C group.
