Immunohistochemical Methods

To increase production efficiency of meat products, milk protein additives are often used. Despite a number of advantages, use of dairy ingredients involves a certain risk, namely the allergenic potential of milk proteins. A number of methods have been developed to detect milk-origin raw materials in foodstuffs, including immunological reference methods. This study presents newly developed immunohistochemical (IHC) methods for casein detection in meat products. Casein was successfully detected directly in meat products where sensitivity was determined at 1.21 and specificity at 0.28. The results obtained from the IHC were compared with the Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) and there was no statistically significant difference between the IHC and ELISA methods (p > 0.05). The correspondence between the methods was 72% in total. The highest correspondence was reached in frankfurters (90%), the lowest in canned pâté (44%).

In samples taken monthly throughout the year the percentage of American smelt in Lake Ontario and Lake Erie containing cysts of Glugea hertwigi was 5.2% and 62.7% respectively. Sexual differences in incidence were observed, the significance of which was uncertain as results from the two lakes were contradictory.In male fish infection was almost entirely restricted to the digestive tract with few cysts in the liver, skin, and testes. In female fish the digestive tract and ovaries were similarly infected.Seasonal fluctuations in Glugea infection were obvious and seemed correlated with the gonadal cycle. In both sexes the highest parasite load corresponded with the onset of maturation.A striking difference in fecundity between the two smelt populations was attributed to the Glugea infection. In females parasite cysts replaced ovarian tissue, causing a reduction in the number of maturing eggs.

Microalgae have long been used for the commercial production of natural colorants such as carotenoids and chlorophyll. Due to the rising demand for carotenoids and other natural products from microalgae, strategies to increase production efficiency are urgently needed. The production of microalgal biorefineries has been limited to countries with moderate climates. For countries with cooler climates and less daylight, methodologies for the efficient production of microalgal biorefineries need to be investigated. Algal strains that can be safely consumed as whole cells are also attractive alternatives for developing as carotenoid supplements, which can also contain other compounds with health benefits. Using such strains helps to eliminate the need for hazardous solvents for extraction and several other complicated steps. In this study, the mesophilic green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was employed to study the effects of cold stress on cell physiology and the production of pigments and storage compounds. The results showed that temperatures between 10 and 20 °C induced carotenoid and chlorophyll accumulation in the wild-type strain of C. reinhardtii. Interestingly, the increased level of carotenoids suggested that they might play a crucial role in cold stress acclimation. A temperature of 15 °C resulted in the highest carotenoid and chlorophyll productivity. At this temperature, carotenoid and chlorophyll productivity was 2 times and 1.3 times higher than at 25 °C, respectively. Subjecting a mutant defective in lutein and zeaxanthin accumulation to cold stress revealed that these two carotenoids are not essential for cold stress survival. Therefore, cold temperature could be used as a strategy to induce and increase the productivity of pigments in C. reinhardtii.

Abstract Background: Estrogen could limit the nondominant follicles development after the first deviation by inhibition of the FSH secretion through the negative feedback loop, which ensure that the number of dominant follicles would be in a moderate level. Methods: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of estradiol benzoate (EB) on inhibiting the development of nondominant follicles and inducing twin calves in beef heifers. Beef heifers were synchronized using an estradiol (E2)- plus- progesterone (P4)- based and superovulated using small dose follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) protocol. From days 6.5 to 7.5 every heifer was treated with variety dose of estradiol benzoate (EB) for 3 times with 12 h intervals to eliminate the excess number of dominant follicles. Results: The diameters of the two largest follicles (F1 and F2) continually increased from day 3.5 to day 10. However, the growth rate was constrained by exogenous EB, and the degree of suppression was greatest in the 0.5 mg EB treatment compared with other treatments. As a result, the number of large follicles (≥ 10 mm) was also reduced along with the dose of EB increased. The double/triple ovulations rate, pregnancy rate and twin were all demonstrate the highest in 0.2 mg EB treatment group than in other treatments. Conclusions：The present study describes an efficient protocol that can be used to stimulate the development of a small number of dominant follicles i.e. 2-3 at the deviation stage through a FSH and 0.2 mg EB combine treatment, which can further result in the production of two calves. The appropriate dose of EB treatment during FSH induced superovulation procedure could limit the number of dominant follicles development and eventually increase the calf production efficiency.

The ratio of fish farmers to fisheries extension professionals was 1:1000 which is too low. Para-extension functionaries can fill up this gap in the fisheries sector to improve the production and productivity of fishers. The opinion leaders from the local fish farmers community will help identify fish farmers who can further transfer the knowledge concerning how to fish to others through their diffusion network. This study was undertaken to analyze gender roles in fish farming and their relation with opinion leaders. It was observed that 90% of male fish farmers had control of fisheries/family resources, and 97 per cent of fish farmers were found to have contact with male opinion leaders. At the same time, 33% of female fish farmers were contacted by shelf help groups and local progressive farmers. The study shows that the opinion leaders influenced the fish farmers’ diffusion network and their knowledge about how to fish. To involve women in the fisheries sector, empower women, there is also a need to select opinion leaders preferred by women fish farmers.

Cassava or cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of Indonesia's local carbohydrate sources which ranks third largest after rice and corn. One of the uses of cassava is cassava crackers (samiler). Cassava crackers (samiler) are very popular snacks among the people, made from cassava, thin round in shape and taste delicious. Production Capacity of Karya Lestari Jaya's UKM in producing cassava crackers (samiler) in 1 day is ± 20 kg of material or 5 kg of dried cassava crackers (samiler). In one month cassava cracker orders (samiler) can reach ± 80-120 kg. The production process of cassava crackers (samiler) goes through several stages, including: raw material process, printing process, steam process, drying process and packaging process. The problem that can be identified in the field of production is the limited equipment in the packaging process and weighing the samiler cassava crackers. Karya Lestari Jaya's UKM partners in calculating product prices per package have not met the break even point (BEP) standard, so it cannot be maximized in business management. From the above conditions, the method and results of this service are providing technology transfer by providing vaccum sealer machines, continuous band sealers, and digital scales as well as training in the use of tools and training in Break Even Point (BEP) so as to increase production efficiency of cassava crackers (samiler). ABSTRAKSingkong atau ubikayu (Manihot esculenta Crantz) merupakan salah satu sumber  karbohidrat lokal Indonesia yang menduduki urutan ketiga terbesar setelah padi dan jagung. Salah satu pemanfaatan singkong adalah kerupuk singkong (samiler).  Kerupuk singkong (samiler) adalah makanan ringan yang sangat populer dikalangan masyarakat, terbuat dari singkong , berbentuk bundar tipis dan rasanya gurih. Kapasitas Produksi UKM Karya Lestari Jaya dalam memproduksi kerupuk singkong (samiler) dalam 1 hari sebanyak ± 20 kg bahan atau 5 kg kerupuk singkong (samiler) kering. Dalam satu bulan pesanan kerupuk singkong (samiler) dapat mencapai ± 80-120 kg. Proses Produksi kerupuk singkong (samiler) melalui beberapa tahapan, antara lain : proses bahan baku, proses pencetakan, proses steam, proses penjemuran dan proses pengemasan. Permasalahan yang dapat diidentifikasi dalam bidang produksi adalah keterbatasan peralatan dalam proses packaging dan penimbangan kerupuk singkong samiler. Mitra UKM Karya Lestari Jaya dalam melakukan perhitungan harga produk per kemasan belum memenuhi standar break even point (BEP), sehingga tidak dapat maksimal dalam pengelolaan usaha. Dari kondisi diatas maka metode dan hasil dari pengabdian ini adalah memberikan transfer teknologi dengan memberikan Mesin vaccum sealer, continuous band sealer, dan timbangan digital serta melakukan pelatihan penggunaan alat dan pelatihan Break Even Point (BEP) sehingga meningkatkan efisiensi produksi Kerupuk singkong (samiler).
