Pangalengan in Southern Bandung Regency, was known as a center for dairy farming. Mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus is a disease that often arises and difficult in treatment, because of lack of knowledge that causes arise resistance to antibiotics. Therefore, observation of milk samples, udder swabs, milking utensils, milking buckets and stable floors, from the Warnasari, Babakan Kiara and Tarumajaya small holder ranches, were tested using antibiotic discs. Results observations showed that Ampicillin, Oxytetracycline and Sulfametoxazole - Trimethoprim, ciprofloxacine and Chloramphenicol are five groups of antibiotics that are often used for the treatment of mastitis, and are now experiencing resistance. The highest percentage of resistance was to Ampicilin which reached 100% and the lowest was Sulfametoxazole - Trimethoprim, Ciprofloxacine and Chloramphenicol which reached 3.12%. Generally, the percentage of resistance of these five antibiotic group, shows the highest number in Babakan Kiara and the lowest in the Tarumajaya region. The factors that support increased antibiotic resistance in the treatment of mastitis are the use of antibiotics that is continuous and uncontrolled, poor farm management and the cage very close to farmer houses.

Results are presented showing the antimicrobial effects of bee venom, pollen, propolis and honeys (of thyme, oil-seed rape, acacia and lime) against a selection pathogenic bacteria and Candida albicans. Bee venom was found to show the strongest antimicrobial activity against all species. In the case of Staphylococcus aureus the inhibition zone for colony growth was even greater than the control antibiotic used for comparison (cefuroxin). The strains of bacteria studied showed sensitivity to propolis extract, the greatest growth inhibition being observed for Staphylococcus aureus. Pollen was found to exert a large antimicrobial effect, as evidenced by a large growth inhibition zone, on Pseudomonas aerugnosia. Lime flower honey showed moderate inhibitory effects on the growth of Staphylococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus and was the most potent of the honeys studied.

A development of ruminant farms needs to be accompanied by various efforts including the development of livestock feed forage production that adapts well around the farm. One of such effort is to develop B. mutica forage in open land by utilizing livestock waste. Ruminant animals such as cows and goats have a good palatability in consuming this forage. This preliminary experiment is a part of our research that aimed to examine the effect of an application of Dry-Mix- Manure (DMM) as planting media layer on production of B. mutica which is cultivated in an unrestricted of sunlight area. In this study B. mutica cultivation was carried out on a planting bed coated with a DMM 500 dose applied to m2 surface as planting layer with 10 cm thick and the distance one hole to another was 50 cm along 10 meters. Four rows as a replication of planting. The parameters were: fresh production and dry weight of the forage. Harvesting was done at the age of 8 weeks after planting. A descriptive analysis was realized to the data obtained. The results showed that the mean of fresh production in this unrestricted sunlight areas was 12,527 kg / ha. The conclusion was that fertilize of Dry- Mix-Manure with a dosage 500 in the andosol soils was adaptable to get a good production of B. mutica cultivation under a full day sunlight during 12 hours about 6AM to 6PM.

Sentul chicken is a specific local chicken from the Ciamis region in West Java and can be used for egg and meat production. The continuous use of antibiotics for maintenance to prevent and treat diseases in Sentul chickens can cause residues in chicken meat. To reduce the use of antibiotics, it is necessary to find natural antibiotics derived from herbal plants such as mangosteen peel extract (MPE), containing xanthone compounds like antioxidants, which used to prevent free radicals. The study aimed to determine the effect of adding MPE in rations as a feed additive to get ASUH chicken meat. This study used 100 days-old Sentul chicks that were kept for 12 weeks in the litter system. The design used was CRD with 4 treatment levels of MPE, 41 ml/kg ration, 81 ml/kg ration and 122 ml/kg ration and repeated 5 times. The results showed that the addition of MPE in the ration could have a positive impact on the growth of Sentul chickens and internal organs to produce healthy chicken meat, low in cholesterol so that safe for consumption.

Quality Function Development (QFD) is a systematic approach specific to quality management that facilitates product development by ensuring consumer requirements meeting (customer voice), these being taken into account from the design phase, then during the entire technological process, being reflected in the finished product. The purpose of this study was to apply the QFD methodology (House of Quality, HoQ1,) to improve the quality of products in the food industry, taking into account the technological process of obtaining fruit ice cream (the Q product), thus providing a synthetic model. The working method consisted in the participation of a number of 240 ice cream consumers, aged between 20-24 years, who provided the list of consumer requirements, prioritizing and weighting them based on a score from 1 to 5. The following stages were represented by the transposition of consumers' voice in quantifiable technical requirements, their correlation at the "roof" level, establishing the relations between technical measures and the customer's voice by using predefined symbols, establishing the direction of improving the quality of the new product, assessing current competition and determination of target values. Following the analysis, the most important consumer requirements were the amount of fruit added (20.8%), the lack of hazardous additives (20.8%), the creaminess (16.7%) and the lack of ice crystals (16.7%). Thus, in order to meet consumer requirements, the replacement of sugar with maple syrup, artificial stabilizers and emulsifiers with pectin (0.4%) and yolk (0.5%), led to a more nutritious and healthier product, but which will probably have a higher price compared to the products currently available on the market.

Acceleration of genetic gain for some valuable traits represents for some local animal breeds an upmost necessity, especially when unimproved breeds are in competition with more productive ones. The progress in DNA and assisted reproduction technologies could represent a valuable tool to overcome these limitations. In many cases, valuable DNA mutations can have a low frequency, making the breeding process costly and time consuming. Therefore, artificial insemination can contribute to increase the frequency of these mutations in a population. We tested the viability of this combined approach on a Carpathian goat population. In this respect, the potential Carpathian goat males, candidates for semen collection needed for the artificial insemination experiments, were first selected from the herd book based on their known origin and phenotype. To confirm their parentage, we used a panel of 22 microsatellites markers. On the other hand we genotyped the remained candidate males for the alpha s1 casein gene, which is significantly associated with milk casein content and cheese yield. Only four males, with AA, BB and AB genotypes (positively associated with these traits) were retained for semen collection. A number of 450 Carpathian goat females were prepared for insemination using hormonal induction and synchronization of oestrus with fluorogestone acetate impregnated sponges (Chronogest sponges, with FGA 20 mg). In the 9th day after the sponges insertion, pregnant mare serum gonadotropin PMSG (Folligon) was injected in a dosage of 400 UI. The semen was collected from the selected males using an artificial vagina and was subsequentlyanalysed and processed for insemination. The goats were artificial inseminated in fixed point, 45 ± 2 hours after the sponges removal, with freshly diluted semen that was collected and diluted 2-3 h before insemination. Fecundity calculated after the end of parturition was 84.65%.

During the ecological study of 31 specimens of freshwater bream (Abramis brama (Linnaeus, 1758)) from Danube River, by applying standard techniques for parasites, an infestation was found with two acanthocephalan species – Pomphorhynchus laevis and Acanthocephalus lucii. The content of arsenic in water, sediments, parasites, tissues and organs of Abramis brama (infected and uninfected) were establishedin the present study. P. laevis showed 42-170 times higher content of arsenic than its host tissues and organs. The content of arsenic in A. lucii was 37-205 times higher than the content of arsenic in its host tissues and organs. The highest concentration of arsenic in uninfected specimens of A. brama was found in liver (1.35±1.29 mg.kg-1). The highest concentration of arsenic for the infected with P. laevis specimens of freshwater bream was established for muscles (0.68±0.08mg.kg-1), while for the infected with A. lucii specimens of fish, the highest concentration of arsenic was established for skin (1.75±1.32 mg.kg-1). A highly significant correlation (p<0.01) was fixed for the relationship between CAs/P. laevis–CAs/Muscles.

In the last decade, FT-IR spectroscopy has been introduced in methodological portfolio specific for analyzing food products, because it is a very efficient, and non-destructive analytical tool. Vibrational spectral techniques, as FT-IR, offer several advantages in the context of current research and using this techniques we can identify molecular components in the studied samples. In this study FT-IR spectroscopy technique is applied to detect fat, protein, and lactose content of buffalo milk, and compositional differences between samples corresponding to different lactations. The results emphasizes specific evolutions corresponding to the increase of protein, lactose, and fat buffalo milk contents, from the first lactation up to the fifths/fourths lactations.

An evaluation based on performance tests was carried out on 639 male and female (castrated) animals from the Danube White breed in Agricultural Institute Shumen. The testing of animals was done at 90 kg live weight with the “Pig log 105” apparatus. Significant sources of specific variance in different levels of probability were established for line, year, sex and replacement animals. Significant effects of sublevels of the studied environmental factors were also established. The results, presented by us, emphasized the necessity of fixed trait evaluations and determination of their effects during the genetic evaluation of the Danube White population.
