Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) strain of Sultana (superior selection of salabintana) is a new variety developed by the Center for Freshwater Resources Development (BBPABT) Sukabumi, West Java. Sultana tilapia is the result of crossing 10 superior varieties such as gift tilapia, jica, white, and other superior tilapia. Many factors cause the high price of feed, one of which is dependent on imported raw materials for feed manufacture. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the use of local raw materials with different protein content in feed for the growth of tilapia and reduce production costs by using local raw materials as feed ingredients. This research was conducted from March 21 to June 19, 2020 at the Integrated Field Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. The design used in this study was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of four treatments with three replications. The treatments given included 30% protein treatment (A), 33% protein treatment (B), 36% treatment (C), and commercial feed control (D) for 60 days of maintenance. The data obtained were analyzed by using the ANOVA test and followed by the Duncan test. The results obtained in this study are that treatment B has the best FCR value and is significantly different compared to other treatments so as to produce the best growth. Besides that, treatment A and C also had a significantly different FCR value compared to the control

Gourami fish (Osphronemus goramy Lac.) is a freshwater fish commodity that has high economic value because its very popular with all people. But the feed commonly used by gourami fish cultivators is factory-made feed, which is a commercial feed that usually costs quite a lot of money due to the material for making commercial feed, some of which still import from abroad. Therefore it is necessary to find a solution to reduce the cost of cultivation production by replacing commercial feed with homemade feed made from local raw materials. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of local raw materials formulated to make feed suitable for the growth of gourami fish (Osphronemus goramy Lac.) And to analyze the production costs of goramy feed made from local raw materials. This study consisted of 4 treatments and 3 replications using the completely randomized design (CRD) method. The treatments consisted of treatment A (30% protein), treatment B (33% protein), treatment C (36% protein), and treatment D (commercial). The results of this study indicate that the treatment of feed A, B, and C produced the same growth as commercial feed, and treatment of feed A resulted in the lowest feed production costs compared to other treatments. Key word: feed, growth, local raw materials, Oshphronemus goramy

Abstract This study aimed to examine the effect of Gamal leaves flour supplementation in commercial feed on the growth of Nirwana tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings. The experimental design used was a non-factorial completely randomized design consisting of four treatments and four replications. The treatments studied included commercial feed without supplementation of Gamal leaves flour as a control (P0), commercial feed with supplementation of Gamal leaves flour 10% kg−1 feed (P1), commercial feed with supplementation of Gamal leaves flour 15% kg−1 feed (P2), and commercial feed with supplementation of Gamal leaves flour 20% kg−1 feed (P3). Nirwana tilapia fingerlings were stocked at a density of 1 fish L−1. Nirwana tilapia fingerlings size ranges from 2-3 cm. Nirwana tilapia fingerlings maintenance period lasts for 40 days. The Annova test showed that the treatment gave a significant effect on the weight gain, length gain, daily growth rate, and feed conversion ratio (P < 0,05), but did not give a significant effect on the survival rate of Nirwana tilapia fingerlings (P > 0,05). The best dose to increase the growth of Nirwana tilapia fingerlings was commercial feed with supplementation of Gamal leaves flour 10% kg−1 feed.

The paper offers a system approach to cost analysis in garment manufacturing. The content of cost analysis and its major elements have been disclosed: the purpose, objectives, object, subject, principles, information and methodological support, unit of measurement and results. The major problems that affect the expenditure level in domestic garment manufacturing have been revealed. It is evidenced that factors of both internal and external environment negatively affect cost management, thus triggering the problems at the three levels: the macrolevel (the Ukrainian industry), the mesolevel (sector of textiles, apparel, leather, leather goods and products from other materials) and the microlevel (garment manufacturer). The key macrolevel problems account for inflation, tax burden, imperfection of legislation, tariffs on public utilities and energy, political challenges, low solvency of the population. At the mesolevel, the major challenges are: the low level of cooperation between domestic enterprises and supporting industries, high import dependency and the high price of imported raw materials, equipment and technologies, small share of medium-sized enterprises or small business associations, intense competition, lack of active government support. Among the main problems at the microlevel are moral and physical depreciation of equipment with depleted resources, low-skilled young employees and high staff turnover, low competitiveness and high production costs, high toll rates, underdeveloped logistics infrastructure which hampers the finished product sales, insufficient product intellectual property rights protection, inadequate national brand promotion policies. The research findings provide an assessment on how the above challenges affect business costs. The problems have been classified depending on the extent of their regulatory management capacity. A matrix has been constructed that allows problems differentiation and their priority setting. This matrix application will contribute to enhance the decision-making and cost management efficiency in garment manufacturing.

Utilization of Waste Production of Cocoa for Tilapia Fish (Oreochromis niloticus) Seed Feed           Problems often arise in fish farming is the cost of artificial feed (pellets) which is expensive. The availability of local feed ingredients are still very limited and reliance on imports causing feed prices to rise. Therefore we need research to find alternative raw materials that can substitute fish meal price is relatively cheaper, widely available, and do not compete with cattle and human needs. Raw materials include cocoa shell waste derived from cocoa plantations. This study aimed to evaluate the use of cocoa shell waste for growing out of  tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus). The study was conducted at the Center for Research and Development of Freshwater Aquaculture, Bogor. When the study will be conducted over two months. The fish used were tilapia fish 7-8 cm size were maintained on media aquarium measuring 50 × 40 × 40 cm. In addition, the feed given that the result of the fortification of rind cocoa powder, cocoa seed shell powder, rice bran, tapioca flour, water and salt. Commercial feed was also used in this study as a comparison. Feed given as much as 3% of the total biomass of fish in each aquarium. Every two weeks the data  collection of body length and weight of fish seeds were measured. The data would be observed that the length and absolute weight, specific growth rate (SGR), increase biomass and fish survival rate. The results of this study indicated that tilapia fish fed the formulation of cocoa waste could not achieve the growth of fish with commercial feed. Further studies on cocoa waste hopely be better to produce fish seeds which same growth with the growth of fish fed by commercial feed.Key words: Feed, waste of cocoa, tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus ABSTRAK         Permasalahan yang sering muncul pada usaha budidaya ikan yaitu biaya pakan buatan (pellet).yang mahal. Ketersediaan bahan baku pakan lokal masih sangat terbatas dan ketergantungan pada impor menyebabkan harga pakan meningkat. Oleh karena itu diperlukan penelitian untuk mencari alternatif  bahan baku yang dapat menjadi substitusi tepung ikan dengan harga yang relatif murah, banyak tersedia, dan tidak bersaing dengan kebutuhan ternak dan manusia. Bahan baku tersebut antara lain limbah kulit kakao yang berasal dari perkebunan kakao. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pemanfaatan limbah kulit kakao untuk pembesaran benih ikan nila (Oreochromis niloticus). Penelitian dilakukan di Balai Penelitian dan Pengembangan Budidaya Air Tawar, Bogor. Waktu penelitian akan dilaksanakan selama 2 bulan. Ikan yang digunakan yaitu benih ikan nila ukuran 7-8 cm yang dipelihara pada media akuarium berukuran 50 × 40 × 40 cm. Selain itu, pakan yang diberikan yaitu hasil fortifikasi dari serbuk kulit buah kakao, serbuk kulit biji kakao, dedak padi, tepung tapioka, air, dan garam. Pakan komersil juga digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebagai pembanding. Pakan diberikan sebanyak 3% dari total biomassa ikan pada masing-masing akuarium. Tiap 2 minggu dilakukan pengambilan data panjang dan bobot tubuh benih ikan yang diuji. Data yang akan diamati yaitu pertambahan panjang dan bobot mutlak, laju pertumbuhan spesifik (SGR), pertambahan biomass, dan sintasan ikan uji. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa benih ikan nila yang diberi pakan formulasi dari limbah kakao belum dapat mencapai pertumbuhan yang setara dengan pakan komersial. Perlu penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai formulasi pakan limbah kakao yang lebih baik lagi agar mampu menghasilkan pertumbuhan benih ikan yang seimbang dengan pertumbuhan ikan yang diberi pakan komersial.Kata Kunci: Pakan, Limbah kakao, Nila, Oreochromis niloticus
