Model test on the relationship feed energy and protein ratio to the production and quality of milk protein

The purpose of this research was to find an appropriate relationship model between the feed energy and protein ratio with the amount of production and quality of milk proteins. This research was conducted at Getasan Sub-district, Semarang Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia using 40 samples (Holstein Friesian cattle, lactation period II-III and lactation month 3-4). Data were analyzed using linear and quadratic regressions, to predict the production and quality of milk protein from feed energy and protein ratio that describe the diet. The significance of model was tested using analysis of variance. Coefficient of determination (R2), residual variance (RV) and root mean square prediction error (RMSPE) were reported for the developed equations as an indicator of the goodness of model fit. The results showed no relationship in milk protein (kg), milk casein (%), milk casein (kg) and milk urea N (mg/dl) as function of CP/TDN. The significant relationship was observed in milk production (L or kg) and milk protein (%) as function of CP/TDN, both in linear and quadratic models. In addition, a quadratic change in milk production (L) (P = 0.003), milk production (kg) (P = 0.003) and milk protein concentration (%) (P = 0.026) were observed with increase of CP/TDN. It can be concluded that quadratic equation was the good fitting model for this research, because quadratic equation has larger R2, smaller RV and smaller RMSPE than those of linear equation.

Use of a germination bioassay to test compost maturity in Tekelan Village

Livestock waste from cattle farms in Tekelan village, Getasan Subdistrict, Semarang Regency can be grouped into three types, namely solid waste, slurry and waste water. Solid waste (cow dung) was processed into compost, while slurry and waste water were used to make liquid fertilizer. This compost was used as a component of planting media in horticultural crops and potted plants production. We evaluated the toxicity (phytochemical and ecotoxicological) test of compost by using germination index (GI). Vigna radiata seeds are sown on filter paper dampened with compost extract for different times. GI was calculated by relative germination (G) and relative radical length (L). The germination index (GI) = G / G0 x L / L0 x 100, where G0 and L0 are values obtained by distilled water as a control. The results showed that germination bioassay and radical length using aquades and groundwater in Tekelan village did not affect the radical length of Vigna radiata . Technically, groundwater in Tekelan village can be used as a germination bioassay control. The cow dung compost substrate appears to have a major influence on compost toxicity. Mature compost was produced on day 14 with a GI of 104.03.

Pengaruh Penyuluhan Tentang Pola Makan pada Penderita Diabetes Dengan dan Tanpa Komplikasi di Kecamatan Getasan

Diabetes Meliitus (DM) is an incurable disease or life-alive disease. Management of diabetes mellitus is not only dependent on health workers, patients and families also have an important role in controlling blood sugar levels.Diabetes mellitus often appear along with the incidence of uric acid and hypertension due to imbalance of normal components. The research was conducted in Getasan Subdistrict and aimed to see if there is any relationship between diabetes mellitus with the occurrence of uric acid and hypertension and to see the effect of counseling given to dietary change of DM patient. The results showed that diabetes had a significant relationship with uric acid containing p = 0.040 (<0.05) and the counseling did not affect the diet of the research samples in which the statistical test result was 0.478 (> 0.005).

Soil microarthropods is a arthropods that have an important role in decomposing organic materials and soil nutrients. On the farmland there is organic materials content and soil nutrients that abundants enough, because the addition of manure as a source of energy in the ground. The research was conducted in August-October 2015 took place in the field of organic and inorganic farmland in the Batur Village, Getasan Sub-district, Salatiga. This study aimed to examine the soil microarthropods community structure in organic and inorganic farmland as well as the effect of chemical and physical environmental factors to community structure of soil microarthropods. The study was conducted with samples of soil sampling method (PCT) and extracted using Barlese Funnel Extractor. Statistically show that diversity of soil microarthropods between organic and inorganic farmland are not significantly different. There is found 28 taxa of soil microarthropods in organic farmland and 23 taxa in inorganic. The highest total individual density of the taxa are exist in the organic farmland (2260 individual/ m²). The highest abundance of soil microarthropods taxa in inorganic farmland are Carabidae (26,55%) dan Prostigmata (13,27%), while in inorganic farmland are Carabidae (17,24%) dan larva Coleoptera (13,79%). The evenness of soil microarthropods taxa in organic farmland are much low compared with inorganicfarmland, because there is a dominant taxa (Carabidae). There is an influence relation between the chemical and physical environmental factors including water content, porosity, nutrient, and organic materials with community structure of soil microarthropods.

Decision Making towards Maternal Health Services in Central Java, Indonesia

Background: Indonesia has always been struggling with maternal health issue even after the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) programs were done. Prior research findings identified many factors which influenced maternal health status in developing countries such Indonesia and even though various efforts had been made, the impact of the transformation of maternal health behavior was minimal.Purpose: This study aimed to seek an understanding of the factors influencing decisions towards maternal health services.Methods: A case study with a single case embedded design was employed. Interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were held to collect data from 3 health workers and 40 maternal women in a sub-district in Central Java, Indonesia.Results: Interviews with the village midwives as the main health providers in the Getasan sub-district concluded that there were several factors influencing the women's decisions towards maternal services. The factors were options to have services with other health workers outside the area, and shaman services as alternative care and family influencing maternal health behaviors. The analysis of the FGDs also supported the village midwives’ statements that in spite of their awareness towards the available maternal health services, the existence of shamans and traditional beliefs strongly affected their decision.Conclusion: The findings in this study showed that cultural issues prevented the maximum maternal health status in Getasan sub-district. This study recommends Puskesmas (Primary Health Care) as the first level of health institutions in Indonesia to support the village midwives’ roles within their target area.

Ekskresi Natrium Dan Iodium Urine Pada Anak Usia Sekolah Dasar Dan Dewasa (Urinary Sodium and Iodine Concentration Among School Age Children and Adults)

The prevalence of hypertension among people aged over 18 years old at national level is high (31.7%) and the median value of urinary iodine concentration among school age children is also high (224 µ/g/L). In Indonesia, all salt for consumption should be iodised. Is there any relationship between urinary iodine and urinary sodium concentration? This study is to assess urinary sodium and iodine concentration among school age children and adults. The study is conducted in highland of Getasan Subdistrict, Semarang District, Central Java. The unit of sample is household that consist of male and female aged 18-45 years and school age children (aged 8-12 years). Total samples are 297 people consist of 99 male and 99 female adults and 99 school age children. Data collection includes sample of salt, 24 hours urine collections, 24 hours food recalls and anthropometric measurements. Percentage of Urinary Iodine Concentration (UIC) value with category of iodine deficiency is 55.6 percent and with category excess of iodine is only 1.0 percent. Percentage of Urinary Sodium Concentration (USC) value with category of low is 26.3 percent and with category high of sodium was 62.3 percent. Median value of UIC was 93 µg/L and median value of USC is 2588 mg/day. Around 37.4 percent of house-holds use salt that contained sufficient iodine. Almost all respondent (98%) consume food-stuff source of sodium such as monosodium glutamat, soy sauce and spices more than once a day. There is a positive correlation between USC and UIC. However, there is no correlation between urinary sodium concentration and sistolic blood pressure. Median value of urinary iodine is in the category of iodine deficiency and median value of urinary sodium concentration is in the category above the recommended requirement. Majority of sodium and iodine intakes come from salt added in cooking.

KAJIAN KANDUNGAN GLUKOSA DARAH DAN PRODUKSI SUSU SAPI PERAH DENGAN RANSUM BERBEDA KUALITAS

The study was conducted with involving members of dairy cattle farming group in Samirono Village, Getasan Subdistrict Semarang Regency. The study was aimed to find out the effect of feeding with various diets for the blood glucose concentration and the milk production of Friesian Holstein dairy cattle. Ox livestock were 15, relocated in 3 different treatments, i.e. TO= Feeding with 12% PK and 65 TDN; Tl= 14% PK and 70 % TDN; and T2 = 16 % PK with 75 % TON. The feeding used bulrush and the concentration comparison was 55 % and 45 %. Beverage was given in ad libitum. Experiment setting used integrated random design with F assessment and Duncan's doubled distance test. Noticed variables were dry fed consumption (BK), blood glucose concentration, milk lactose, milk liquid, and milk production. The result showed that the average consumption of BK TO (8.540 kg/day) was significantly lower (P 0.05). The average lactose concentration TO (328.904 gram/day), was in fact lower (P<0.05) than TI (462.702 gr/day) and T2 (478.128 gram/day). The average of milk concentration TO (7.096 kg/head/day) was evidently lower (P<0.05) than TI (11.858 kg/head/day). The average of milk production TO (7.919 It/head/day) was evidently lower (P<0.05) from TI (11.277 lt/ head/day) and T2 (13.117 It/head/day). Based on the study, it can be concluded that the in• creasing quality of feeding can raise blood glucose concentration, milk lactose, milk liquid, and milk production.
