Impact of land use and management practice on soil physical and chemical quality indicators of Vertisols at Pawe, Northwestern Ethiopia

The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of turmeric powder supplementation to the age of sexual maturity, physical, and chemical quality of the first Japanese quail’s (Coturnix japonica) egg. Forty five quails were assigned into a completely randomized design with three treatments (levels of turmeric powder, i.e., 0; 54; and 108 mg/quail/day) and each treatment used 15 quails. Turmeric powder supplementation was conducted before sexual maturity. Feed and drinking water provided ad libitum. Observed egg is an egg that was first produced. Parameters measured were the age of sexual maturity, feed intake, body weight, physical qualities which include: weight of egg, long axis, short axis, weight and thickness of shell, yolk index, Haugh unit, egg shell index. Whereas the observed chemical quality were cholesterol, HDL, LDL, protein, vitamin B12, vitamin A in eggs and egg shell calcium levels. The results showed that administration of turmeric powder can accelerate the age of maturity, increasing the levels of protein, HDL, vitamin A and B12 in eggs, decreasing the cholesterol and LDL content in eggs, but did not affect feed intake, physical quality of eggs and egg shell calcium levels. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that supplementation of turmeric powder improve the chemical quality of Japanese quail eggs (Coturnix japonica), so it is good for the development of quail embryos as well as for consumption.How to CiteSaraswati, T.

Purpose of this study was to determine the extent from the influence of various additives on the physical and chemical quality of silage of corn straw (Zea mays. L). This study was carried out using the experimental method and Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 treatments consisting of P0: corn straw silage without additives, P1: corn straw silage + 0.5% Heryaki powder, P2: corn straw silage + 5% cassava flour and P3: corn straw silage + 5% sago flour and 5 replications. Data on physical quality (odor, color and texture) were analyzed descriptively while chemical quality data (pH and ammonia were analyzed using ANOVA variance, followed by Duncan's Multiple Distance Test. Giving additives of Heryaki powder, cassava flour and sago flour showed good results on the physical quality of corn straw silage (sour smell, brownish green and texture does not clot) and has a significant effect on honey and ammonia.

This study aimed to test the physical and chemical quality characteristics of corn tortillas with substitute purple sweet potato flour. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) and LSD test if there was a significant effect. The tests carried out included organoleptic tests, air content analysis, ash content analysis, color analysis and texture analysis. The results showed that the best formulation of tortillas chips was a P4 treatment with the addition of 75% purple sweet potato flour: 25% corn, with a texture value of 4.267, taste 4.75 and aroma 4.56 and for the best color treatment found in the addition of P3 had a value of 4.31. The best treatment in the chemical analysis is the P4 treatment had a color value of -10.93, moisture content of 8.94 and ash content of 2.57. For texture analysis test the highest treatment was P2 treatment with the addition of 25% purple sweet potato flour: 75% corn with a value of 1139.15.

This study aims to know the effect of swamp buffalo’s rumen liquid based fodder toward physical and chemical quality of lamb meat. This study used 12 male Kacang goats at age of 10-12 months with weight around 12±1.2 kg. Method used in this study was Completely Randomized Design with 4 treatments repeated for 3 times until it reached 12 units of trials. The treatments consist of: (PS), regular fodder given by breeder (PFCK1) 25% rumen liquid based fodder + 75% PS. (PFCK2), 50% rumen liquid based fodder + 50% PS. (PFCK3) 75% rumen liquid based fodder + 25% PS. Data was statistically analyzed by using variance analysis. Difference between treatments was tested by using Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test. Study results showed that the usage of rumen liquid based fodder of 75% increased protein and lamb fat content (P < 0.05), the lamb meat was physically more tender (P < 0.05). The conclusion is swamp buffalo’s rumen liquid could be used to enhance lamb meat quality.
