Forages are often of poor quality, usually high in fiber and deficient on protein and minerals. The present research on assessment of availability and quality of forage sources was aimed to define appropriate stocking rate of beef cattle raised at teaching farm of the Andalas University of West Sumatra. Three areas of forage sources located at campus were selected as research sites, i.e.: teaching farm pasture, palm oil and teak wood plantations. Samples of forages in fresh form were collected in 5 different sampling points of each site by using quadrant of 0.5x0.5 m in size. The fresh samples were weighed and then sorted by plant species for identification of botanical composition. The samples were then remixed, dried and ground for chemical analysis. Parameter measured included forage mass yield, botanical composition, carrying capacity, DM and nutrient...

The first formula was enriched with micro minerals (P1). The second was enriched with micro minerals and supplemented with vitamin (P2). The third was supplemented with both micro minerals and vitamin and amino acid DL-methionin (P3). The minerals were mixed at the level of 6% into basal diet. Two other diets were used as controls. The first was basal diet mixed with 6% of mixture limestone, oyster shell and bone ash (P4), while the second was basal diet mixed with a commercial mineral feed (P5). The five experimental diets were then fed to 150 Kampong laying hens. The hens were divided into 3 groups based on body weight: heavy, medium and light. Each group was subdivided into 5 subgroups in accordance with number of treatments, so...

Twenty-six corn farmers, which were located in two sub districts of Kinali and Luhak Nan Duo, were selected and interviewed. Data and information collected including: farm size, farming and post harvest practices, quality of product and marketing. During the survey, samples of corn were collected and then analyzed for moisture, protein and crude fiber content, the rate of corn contaminated by fungi and contaminants. The corn contained crude protein and fiber in normal level of 11.8 % and 2,5 %, respectively. The moisture content was however found relatively high of 21.3 % in average and about 34 % of corn contaminated by fungi. Mainly insufficient handling and drying after harvesting caused the poor quality.

Samples of forages in fresh form were collected in 5 different sampling points of each paddock by using quadrant plate meter of 0.5x0.5 m in size. The fresh samples were weighed and then sorted by plant species for identification of botanical composition. The samples were then remixed, dried and ground for chemical analysis. Parameter measured included forage mass production, botanical composition, carrying capacity, DM and nutrient content of CP, CF and ash.Results shown that there were 12 kinds of species grown at the pasture, i.e. 5 gramineae, 4 leguminosae and 3 kinds of browse.Nutrient content of CP, CF and crde ash ranged from 7.2 to 18.7 %, 37.1 to 47.7 % and 6.6 to 10.0 % DM, respectively.Mean production of forages mass in fresh form of about 26.19 t/year with carrying capacities...

Mineral were formulated by using locally available materials (rock flour, limestone, fresh water oyster shell meal) and prepared in loose and lick-block forms. The local mineral formulas were fed to 24 Simmental heifers raised by 17 smallholders for 14 weeks in four treatments: P0 (no supplementation, control), P1 (supplemented with commercial mineral premix), P2 (supplemented with local mineral feed in loose meal), and P3 (supplemented with local mineral feed in form). Each treatment consisted of 6 heifers as replication. Parameters measured included: blood minerals (Ca, P, Mg) and blood hematology (hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular Hb concentration (MCHC), total red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), hematocrit concentration (HCT)), total protein, and estrus onset. Results showed that heifers supplemented with l...

This study uses a completely randomized design with 2 factors and five replications. This study uses 15 paddock with five replication. The first factor is the topography (TWL = Topography Wavey Leaning, TSC = Topography Sloping Currugated and THL = Topography Hilly Leaning), the second seasons factor (rainy and dry). The research was conducted in the January - March 2016 to the rainy season and August-October, 2016 for the dry season in BPTU-HPT Padang Mengatas pasture, Luhak, 50 Kota. The data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and if there are real differences among treatments then do a further test DUNCAN. The results that Bede ( B rachiaria decumbens ) grass dominated in BPTU-HPT Padang Mengatas (83.95% rainy season and 81....

Through discussions conducted with the community and the head of farmer groups facilitated by the headman of  Sungai Kamuyang, the teams formulated several problems. Livestock waste that has not undergone maximum processing such as cow feces, urine and feed residue. Livestock waste is bulky and voluminous so that the use of the room is wide enough for storage and a disturbing aroma. The difficulty of obtaining forage, especially in the dry season and the low production of cultivated grasses planted by farmers around their cattle sheds, and the lack of skills of farmers in processing livestock waste is a problem that also occurs. Through this program, a solution was given, namely the creation of kefir Local Microorganism (LoM) by utilizing the remaining food and feces and urine of livestock through training and application of to cultivated grass. The final stage is to discus...
