THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENCES CONCENTRATION OF NATIVE CHICKEN CLAW GELATIN ON THE PHISYCAL CHARACTERISTICS OF EDIBLE FILM. This study aims to determine the effect of differences concentration on the physical characteristics of edible film from native chicken claw gelatin. This study used a completely randomized design with the treatment of chicken claw gelatin concentration 5%, 10%, 15 and 20%, each treatment repeated four times. The results showed that the differences concentration of native chicken claw gelatin had significantly different effect (P<0.05) on the value of tensile strength, elongation and thickness of edible film. Based on the results of discussion, it can be concluded that the concentration of native chicken claw gelatin from variables with 10% gelatin concentration had good physical characteristics of edible film. Keywords: Native chicken claw, Edible film Gelatin

ABSTRACTCATTLE FARMERS’S RESPONSE ON APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION (AI) TEGNOLOGY IN TONDEGESAN VILLAGE KAWANGKOAN DISTRICT, MINAHASA REGENCY. The government encourages the cattle farming industry through science and technology to increase the productivity of livestock businesses in order to be able to increase the livestock population. The objective of this study was to determine the farmer's response to the adoption of artificial insemination technology (IB) at the village of Tondegesan Dua, Kawangkoan District, Minahasa Regency and to evaluate their knowledge on artificial insemination motivation and technology adoption (IB) in Tondegesan two Village, Kawangkoan District, Minahasa Regency. Data sources were based on primary and secondary data. Data collection were conducted by observation and interview method. The farmer population were involving 42 farmers following artificial insemination and not following artificial insemination activities, but they were aware of artificial insemination technology. The number of samples taken were 30 farmers. Determination of the sample was purposively taken at the village of Tondegesan Dua. The measurement of the research indicator was carried out by applying a Likert scale. Test was done on the relationship between the variables of farmer response to artificial insemination. The results showed that the farmer's responses to artificial insemination were in a fairly good category based on the results of the study.

ABSTRACTNITROGEN RETENTION AND METABOLIC ENERGY OF BROILER CHICKEN RATION USING SORGHUM MEAL (Sorghum bicolor (L). moench) AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR CORN. The aims of this study was to determine the value of Nitrogen Rretention (RN) and Nitrogen-Corrected Metabolic Energy (AMEn) rations using sorghum meal as a substitute for corn in broiler chickens. The study was carried out using 20 broiler strain Cobb aged six weeks consisting of six preliminary days and four days of data collection. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used which is consisting of five treatments and four replications. The treatments used are: R0 = substitute 100% corn or sorghum 0%, R1 = substitute 25% corn or sorghum 12.5%, R2 = substitute 50% corn or sorghum 25%, R3 = substitute 75% corn or sorghum 37.5%, and R4 = substitute 100% corn orsorghum 50%. The variables observed were the Nitrogen Retention value (RN) and Nitrogen Corrected Metabolic Energy (AMEn). Study showed that RN value of R0 (63.38%), R1 (65.69%), R2 (70.76%), R3 (70.77%), R4 (68.03%) and AMEn R0 (2417 , 14 Kkl / kg), R1 (2331.17 Kkl / kg), R2 (2157.87 Kkl / kg), R3 (2261.17 Kkl / kg) R4 (2290.02 Kkl / kg). he treatment gave no significant effect (P> 0.05) on RN value and AMEn. Based on this study it can be concluded that sorghum flour can replace corn to 100% or use 50% in broiler ration seen from the N retention value (68.03%) and AMEn value (2290.02 Kkl / kg).Keywords :     Broiler chicken, corn, metabolic energy, nitrogen retention, sorghum

EFFECT OF REPLACEMENT OF CORN WITH SORGUM Cv. KAWALI IN PELLET RANSUM ON LOCAL RABBIT PERFORM. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of substitution corn with sorghum in rabbit rations on feed consumption, body weight gain, and ration conversion. The duration of the study was 28 days using 20 local rabbits. The statistical design used in this study was a completely randomized design, with 4 (four) treatment rations and 5 (five) replications. The four experimental rations, namely R0: 45% corn + 0% sorghum, R1: 30% corn + 15% sorghum, R2 15% corn + 30% sorghum, R3 0% corn + 45% sorghum. Variables were measured, viz: feed consumption, body weight gain and ration conversion. The results showed that the average of feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion, were: 28.27–30.59 g /head /day, 15.76–21.55 g / head /day, and 1.42-1.80 g /head /day, respectively. Based on the analysis of variance, the treatments ration had no significant effect (P> 0.05) on consumption, but had a very significant effect (P <0.01) on body weight gain and feed conversion. The LSD test showed that all treatment rations using sorghum (R1, R2, and R3) gave results of body weight gain which were very significantly different (P <0.01) and higher than R0. Whereas, on ration conversion, treatments R1, R2, and R3 give very different results (P <0.01) lower than R0. It is concluded that the substitution of corn with sorghum at the level of 45% in the ration gives the highest results for body weight gain and conversion of rations for rabbits. Keywords: corn, sorghum, ration, performance, local rabbit

GROWTH RESPONSE OF Brachiaria humidicola cv Tully grass WITH ORGANIC FERTILIZER BOKASHI LAYING CHICKEN. This study aims to determine the growth response i.e stolon length, number of nodes, number of phytomers, and number of tillers of Brachiaria humidicola cv Tully with bokashi organic laying hens fertilizer. The completely randomized design was applied using four treatments and five replications for each treatment. The treatments were assigned level of bokashi. The levels of bokashi that B0 = 0 tons/ha (control), B1 = 2 tons/ha (1.8 kg/plot), B2 = 4 tons/ha (3.6 kg/plot) and B3 = 6 tons/ha (5.4 kg/plot). The variables measured consisted of stolon length, number of nodes, number of phyitomers, number of tillers. The Results of analysis of variance showed that treatment very significantly different (P <0.01) on stolon length, number of phyitomers, number of tillers and significantly different (P <0.05) on the number of nodes. Test of Honest Significance Difference (HSD) showed that B1 (1.8 kg / plot), B2 (3.6 kg / plot), and B3 (5.4 kg / plot) have higher length of stolone, number of phyitomers and number of tillers than B0. B3 and B2 had higher numbers of nodes than B0. It was concluded that the level 1.8 kg/plot organic fertilizer bokashi chicken laying equivalent to 2 tons/ha gave highest B. humidicola cv Tully growth response. Keywords: growth, B. humidicola cv Tully, bokashi laying Chicken

PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF GROWING PIGS FED RATION CONTAINING CAKALANG FISH WASTE PRODUCT. The study aims to determine the extent of the effect of using fish waste flour as a partial substitute for concentrates in feed on the appearance of grower phase pig production to finiser. Swines are very potential to be developed in North Sulawesi because they have the attributes and capabilities of fast growth rates, high number of litter size, good ration efficiency, and a high percentage of carcass. Cakalang fish waste is one of the feed ingredients that are potentially used as animal feed ingredients because it is easy to be obtained and its price is relatively cheap.  Cakalang fish waste can be processed into fish meal and can be used for animal feed mixtures including swines, poultry and fishery. This research was carried out on the farm belongs to Mr. Cloudio Lumowa, starting with the pre-trial for the 2 weeks and data collection for the 10 weeks, starting on June 14 to August 26, 2017. Research was using 20 heads of gilt and boar with a range body weight of 53-63kg. The research design used was Randomized Block Design (RCBD) involving 4 treatments and 5 replications at each treatment. The treatments of feeding were including R0 = ration without cakalang fish waste flour, R1 = ration + 2% cakalang fish waste flour, R2 = ration + 4% cakalang fish waste flour, and R3 = ration + 6% cakalang fish waste flour. The results of the research showed that the use of cakalang fish waste flour with a level of 2%, 4%, and 6% had a significant effect (P< 0.05) on swine weight gain and feed effciciency, but did not affect significantly feed consumption. Based on the results of the study and discussion of all variables, it can be concluded that the use of cakalang fish waste flour as a partial replacement of concentrate up to 6% in grower to finisher produced the same ration consumption, a good body weight gain and feed efficiency.Keywords: cakalang fish waste, production, grower
