This experiment was aimed to evaluate the effect of fermented cocoa pod as feed for Bligon goats. Sixteen Bligon goat with a body weight of 11-13 kg were put into individual cages which were equipped with feed and drink containers. The study design used a randomized block design, where initial body weight in as peragam with four treatments and four replications. Fermented cocoa pod used Trametes versicolor. The experimental treatments were T1= 30% of fresh king grass + 50% of dried king grass + 20% of concentrate; T2= 30% of fresh king grass + 30% of dried king grass + 40% of concentrate; T3= 30% of fresh king grass + 30% of cocoa pod + 40% of concentrate; and T4= 30% of fresh king grass + 30% of cocoa pod fermented + 40% of concentrate. Observed variables were feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion. The result showed that fermented cocoa pod at the level of 30% had higher (P<0.05) infeed intake (560.33 g day-1), body weight gain (101.79 g head-1day-1), and feed conversion (5.50) compared to other treatments. The conclusion of this study were the use of 30% cocoa pod fermented in the ration showed the best body weight gain and feed conversion on Bligon goat performance.

The study was carried out to estimate the energy utilization for body weight gain in West African dwarf ram-lambs fed differently processed breadfruit meal in total mixed rations. Twenty non-castrated ram-lambs, about 7months of age with an average-initial body weight of 6.00 ± 0.55kg, were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments with five ram-lambs per treatment group in a completely randomized design. Ficus foliage with differently processed breadfruit meals and concentrate diet were used as treatment diets. Diet A (50% unpeeled raw breadfruit meal +20% Ficus foliage + 30% concentrate diet) B (50% peeled raw breadfruit +20% Ficus foliage + 30% concentrate diet), C (50% unpeeled soaked breadfruit meal +20% Ficus foliage + 30% concentrate diet) and D (50% unpeeled boiled breadfruit meal + 20% Ficus foliage + 30% concentrate diet). Results showed that faecal energy output (999.41MJ/g/day DM) was significantly (P< 0.05) highest in treatment diet Acompared with other treatment diets. Ram-lambs on treatment diets B and C had the significantly highest (P < 0.05) on digestible energy intake (1310.84 and 1295.62 MJ/g/day DM), metabolizable energy intake (1074.89 and 1062.41MJ/g/day DM), average total weight gain (4.18 and 4.13kg) and average daily weight gain (87.08 and 86.04g) compared with treatment diets A and D. Gross energy intake (4503.00MJ/g/day), average total feed intake (13.68kg), average daily feed intake (285.00g) and feed conversion ratio (4.44) were significantly (P < 0.05) better in ram-lambs on treatment diet D. There were no significant (P > 0.05) differences in urinary energy loss, metabolizability and initial body weight of ram-lambs. It was therefore concluded that diets B and C enhanced efficiency of energy utilization for body weight gain of ram-lambs.

Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL), Analisa data dengan menggunakan Analysiss of variance dilanjutkan Uji Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penambahan wortel kukus dalam pakan dari level 10 sampai 30% tidak berbeda nyata terhadap penampilan itik pedaging (P>0,05). Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil dari penelitian ini adalah bahwa penambahan wortel kukus sebagai pakan tambahan pada itik pedaging tidak memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap penampilan itik pedaging. Kata kunci: itik pedaging, konsumsi pakan, konversi pakan, pertambahan berat badan                     wortel ABSTRACT The aim of the research was to examine the effect of giving steamed carrots as additional feed on the appearance of meat ducks. The research material was "Hybrid" male meat ducks aged 14 days with an average initial body weight of + 308.9 g/head as many as 60 tails, divided into 4 treatments, three replications, each replicated 5 ducks. The basal feed for the starter phase consisted of: BR1 concentrate (63%), bran (28%), polar (9%) and the finisher phase consisted of BR1 concentrate (50%), rice bran (30%), polar (20%). The treatments given were T1: Basal feed without added carrots; T2: Basalt feed + steamed carrots (10% of feed amount). T3 : Basalt feed + steamed carrots (20% of the amount of feed given). T4: Basalt feed + steamed carrots (30% of the amount of feed given). The variable observed was the performance of broiler ducks (feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion). The study used a completely randomized design (CRD), data analysis using the Analysis of variance followed by Duncan's test. The results showed that the addition of steamed carrots in the feed from level 10 to 30% was not significantly different to the appearance of broiler ducks (P>0.05). The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the addition of steamed carrots as additional feed for broiler ducks does not have a significant effect on the appearance of broiler ducks.   Keywords: broiler ducks, feed consumption, feed conversion, weight gain, carrot

Background: Fetal weight at birth is the singular parameter resonant of maternal health and is measured with reasonable precision, while measuring preterm birth or IUGR requires a valid estimate of gestational age. Notwithstanding the relevance of mortality and morbidity as measures of adverse pregnancy outcome, proxy markers like low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and congenital anomalies have been used in the past. This exercise aims to study the epidemiological predictor variables in pregnant women attending ante-natal clinic and its association with birth outcome.Methods: This prospective study was carried out over a one-year period at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Data was collected using structured questionnaire, investigation reports and ante-natal cards. The outcome of delivery in all registered women was recorded by following them up till delivery.Results: The variables having a statistically significant association with an adverse pregnancy outcome were maternal and paternal education, family income, socioeconomic status (SES), gravidity, maternal complications, level of physical activity, rest during pregnancy, trimester of initiation of ANC visits, diet, iron supplementation, maternal weight gain, exposure to tobacco/environmental tobacco smoke and gestational age.Conclusions: Parental education, good antenatal care, early detection of high risk pregnancy, light physical activity and adequate rest, adequate nutrition with supplementation and exposure to ETS markedly influence the pregnancy outcome and intervention in these areas would result in an improved birth outcome. Factors having marginal scope of intervention include age of the pregnant women, adequate inter-pregnancy interval, maternal weight gain and socioeconomic status.

Cocoa leave is potential as goat’s feed, but has not been widely used by farmers. The aim of this study was to observe the use of cocoa leaves as goat feed and their effect on the daily gain of goats. This study was conducted on 2 phases. Phase 1, study of the use of cocoa leaves as feed goat has been done on 10 farmers with innovation and 10 farmers without innovation. The observations were done by weighing of fresh cocoa leaves as goat feed for eight months (March to October, 2013). Independent t-test was done to analyze the cocoa leaves treatments on farmers with and without innovation . Phase 2, feeding trial has been done for 8 weeks to compare 3 level of feed treatments namely A (grass ad lib, cocoa leaves 2 kg/head/day, rice bran 0.6 kg/head/day), B (grass ad lib, cocoa leaves 2 kg/head/day) and C (grass ad lib). Each level of feed treatment consisted of 7 male Bligon goats, aged 11-12 months. Data was analyzed using analysis of covariance with initial body weight as covariate. The results showed that the use of cocoa leaves as goat feed on farmers  with innovations was 130 ± 18 g/head/day higher than on farmers without innovation namely 33 ± 19 g/head/day. Body weight gain of goat increased from 30,6 ± 13,5 g/head/day (feeding grass) to 61,2 ± 9,5  g/head/day if added cocoa leaves 2 kg/head/day and to 68,9 ± 24,0g/head/day if added cocoa leaves 2 kg/head/day and rice bran 0.6 kg/head/day. The study implied that cocoa-goats integration system should be developed to optimize the utilization of cocoa leaves as goat’s feed.
