Mastitis, Metritis, Agalactia (MMA) syndromes have been found throughout the world, and generally occur in sows after parturition. MMA syndrome is a pathological disorder consisting of inflammation of the udder (Mastitis), inflammation of the uterus (Metritis) which can have an impact on reducing the secretion of milk (Agalactia). The etiology associated with this condition has not been well identified but is thought to be multifactorial, which is dominated by poor maintenance management and the presence of bacterial infections. The impact of this disorder will only be observed within 12 to 48 hours after parturition and marked decreased appetite, piglets hungry, sows have a fever and udder conditions. Symptomatic treatment needs to be done as soon as possible, but not only focused on sows but also to overcome dehydration in litters that can have an impact on death. Preventive action through improving maintenance management is an important step that can have an impact on the decline in cases of MMA syndrome in a farm.

The main plot consists of six level: without water logging (D0), 1 day water logging (D1), 2-day water logging (D2), 3-day water logging (D3), 4-day water logging (D4) and 5-day water logging (D5). The sub plot consists of 4 cultivar: Sabu (K1), Rote (K2), TTS (K3) and Bima (K4). The variables observed were: number of tillers, number of leaves, root length, leaf dry weight, total chlorophyll content and weight of dry yield. The data was analyzed by analysis of variance, and continued by BNJ test (5%). The results showed that the duration of the water logging affected the number of tillers, number of leaves, leaf dry weight, root length and weight of the dry bulb. While cultivars also affect the number of tillers, number of leaves, dry weight of leaves, and weight of dry bulb, but do not affect to root length. While the total chlorophyll content of shallot affected by the interaction between the duration of water logging and cultivars. The results also showed a decrease in the number of tillers, number of leaves, leaf dry weight and weight of the dry yield in the duration of the 5-day water logging. While the length of the roots decreased after given inundation more than 3 days. The best cultivars in this study were the Bima cultivars that produced a dry yield of 56.28 g.

Data is growing every second. According to IBM, 90% of the data that is there today were created in last two years. This makes database techniques and management increasingly complex. Due to economic turmoil in recent years all organizations are required to perform with utmost efficiency. Organizations are now required to delve into big data to analyze business scenarios from all possible ways to extract meaningful inference. Higher education is no exception. The pressure is often on IT. This paper establishes that IT alone cannot solve problem and successfully implement business intelligence (BI) initiative. BI is not only a technology implementation; it is also part of how organizations operate. This paper prescribes a management framework -Quadra Pthat helps implement a successful BI initiative in any organization. Researches find out that 70%-80% BI project fails for some reason. Quadra-P framework eliminates the risks associated with BI implementation, thus reducing the risks of failures. This paper describes Quadra-P framework and a case study of how Quadra-P successfully implemented a robust BI and analytics platform in a very short time at CSU.

The process of evaluating the fisheries performance of Kupang Bay Marine Nature Park has been finished. This research is made to help describe fisheries performance that would be a great consideration for development of sustainable fisheries in collaboration with development of tourism inside the area. Based on results of composite evaluation and analysis, fisheries performance in Kupang Bay Marine Nature Park is categorized as not applying the EAFM enough. This is not only because the real condition on the field is very unsatisfactory, even gradually diminishing, but also because the availability of data needed for research has not been met. In order to guarantee the validity of fisheries performance in the area for the next two years, there are some strategic actions being offered like provision of institution that will manage data integration, formation of observers that will accompany fishermen during fish catching, training for fishermen so they can do data collecting during fish catching, development of integrated research programs, and optimization of fish auction places in relation to data recording for performance evaluation. Active involvement of all parties will hopefully guarantee the improvement of fisheries performance in the next two years.

One of the marine aquaculture commodities that is currently booming in East Nusa Tenggara Province and has a market prospect is seaweed. The local government of Sikka district since 2007 has declared seaweed as its main aquaculture commodity. This declaration is based on the availability of coastal land, where 90% of the territorial waters are potential for seaweed cultivation. However, this potency is oftentimes ignored. The purposes of this study are (1) to analyse the suitability area for seaweed cultivation, (2) to collect data and information about the area, water capacity, unit area, and carrying capacity of the waters. This research was conducted in the coastal area in Parumaan village, Sikka, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Analysis of area compatibility is based on the water carrying capacities to support seaweed cultivation. The result shows that the coastal area in Parumaan was compatible for the cultivation, with a value of 270 which means that the development of seaweed is possible while still taking into account the carrying capacity of the ecosystem.

The aim of the study was to determine the structure and composition of vegetation characteristics based on important value index, species diversity, evenness and species richness in the distribution area of the Philemon inornatus bird in the Baumata landscape. Vegetation analysis was done by using nested sampling with a sampling intensity of 1.9%. Measuring plots were placed on each type of land cover. The size of the grid was 200 x 500 m2. The structural characteristics and vegetation composition of the habitat of Cikukua Timor bird in the Baumata landscape were characterized by Cassia siamea, Tectona grandis for pole and sapling levels, and seedlings by Chromolaena odorata as dominant species. The only function of Cassia siamea for bird is as a source of food, while Tectona grandis as food sources as well as a place for resting/sleeping and nesting. The level of species diversity (2,45-2,80) and species richness (3,55-5,68) is classified as moderate. The species were distributed almost evenly across the entire research landscape with the more or less equal abundance.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the production of organic matter, crude protein, nitrogen free extract of natural pasture forages which was introduced by different types of grasses and legumes which had been carried out on natural pastures in Tuatuka Sub-District, East Kupang District for 7 months from April to October 2017, based on randomized block design (RBD) with 5 treatments and 4 groups, namely: P0: Natural pasture without introduction, CP: natural pastura introduced by Cynodon plectotachyus, DA: natural pastura introduced by Dichantium aristatum, DV: natural pastura introduced by Desmanthus virgatus, and C: natural pastura introduced by Clitoria ternatea. The variables observed were organic matter (OM) production, crude protein (CP) production, nitrogen free extract (NFE) production of forages. Data were analyzed for variance based on RBD and continued with Duncan Test. Variance analysis shows that OM production, CP production and NFE production of natural pasture forages are strongly influenced (P <0.01) by species introduction. Duncan's test showed that introduction with C, DV and CP produced OM, CP,and NFE production of forage higher and different (P <0.05) with DA and P0. Average of OM, CP, and NFE production of forage are: 2.38 tons / ha, 0.10 tons / ha and 1.18 tons / ha. It was concluded that the introduction of natural pastura with superior species was able to increase the production of OM, CP, and NFE forages and species of Clitoria ternatea, Desmanthus virgatus and Cynodon plectotachyus producing the highest forage production.

Serum samples that are positive for RBT mostly come from female cattles which are 56 and only 4 bulls gave positive results. The average prevalence is 57%, the majority of the RBT test results from positive samples on the RBT test is +1 scoring (the lowest score in the RBT test).

The development of seaweed farming needs a feasibility study to anticipate the failures. Feasibility of oceanographic parameters determine the quality of seaweed farming areas, consist of physical parameters including depth, brightness and current velocity, and chemical environment which is salinity, pH and nitrate concentration in the waters. The study aims to determine the suitability of oceanographic parameters of seaweed farming areas in the coastal waters of Northwest Rote District. The results showed that the sea surface temperature ranges between 29.77°C-30.17°C, salinity between 30.67‰-31.67 ‰, ranges of current velocity between 0.13 m/s-0.20 m/s, depth ranges between 3,0 m-3.69 m, pH ranges between 7.27-7.37 and the types of substrate is generally sandy. The suitability analysis showed that the coastal waters in District of Nortwest Rote were classified as quite suitable for seaweed farming.

The evaluation of fisheries performance using Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) is done by evaluating indicators based on existing data. The data used for indicators' evaluation have to be up to standards and requirements in place. Three out of six domains that are going to be evaluated in this process consist of fish resources, habitats and ecosystems of fish, and also the catching technology of it. The process of evaluating the fisheries performance of Kupang Bay Marine Nature Park has been finished. This research is made to help describe fisheries performance that would be a great consideration for development of sustainable fisheries in collaboration with development of tourism inside the area. Based on results of composite evaluation and analysis, fisheries performance in Kupang Bay Marine Nature Park is categorized as not applying the EAFM enough.

This study aims is to find the response of antibody titers in chickens vaccinated with ND and given herbal remedies. The chickens used which were one day broiler (DOC) strain of CP 707. This extract groups were given to chickens from 7 days until 28 days in three treatment groups and one control group (drinking water). Serum samples were taken from chickens aged 7, 14, and 21 days after ND vaccination, followed by serological tests. The average that of antibody titers before were given treatmentand 7 days post vaccination showed that the highest titers and the average antibody titers after vaccination at day 14, 21 and 28 days and post were given treatment with herbs and decoction of curry leaves were decrease. ANOVA analysis revealed that all treatments had no significant effect (P> 0.05) toward the number of antibody titers in tested broiler chickens. In the treatment of herbal medicine, a combination of herbs and decoction of curry leaves, and decoction of curry leaves which were given to chickens showed that there were the same number of antibody titers as the control of only drinking water. But the platelet values in the treatment group were higher than control (drinking water).

Distribution is the activity of moving products from sources to consumers using distribution channels at the right time (Assauri, 2004). A distribution channel is a structure reflecting alternative channels and various ventures (such as producers, wholesalers, and retailers). The objectives of this study are (1) Identification of patterns of food distribution (rice, garlic, groundnuts, kidney beans, mung beans) in Kupang city; (2) Identification of food supplier areas in the city of Kupang. This research is a set of survey activities, and the data collected is sourced from primary and secondary data. The methods used in this study are descriptive method and the sampling technic which is taken from 100 traders in the city of Kupang which are situated in 4 main traditional markets (Oesapa, Oeba, Inpres, and Oebobo). The results showed that rice agents held 75 percent of the distribution patterns with the distribution system of rice as such: agents-distributors-retailers-consumers. Whereas 25 percent are local rice with distribution patterns, farmers-collectors-consumers. Regarding the garlic distribution, 100 percent held by garlic agents supplying directly to retailers before reaching consumers. Unlike garlic, peanut and mung beans distribution patterns are 90 percent held by collectors, and directly sold to consumers, and only 10 percent goes consumers through retailers. Kidney beans commodities 70 percent goes to traders-10 percent goes to retailers-consumers. Sulawesi and Surabaya are the two main rice suppliers for the region make up 75 percent. Surabaya also funnels 100 percent imported garlic from China to Kupang. While groundnuts and kidney beans are provided 80 percent by TTS farmers, 15 percent Ende farmers and 5 percent from Surabaya. About mung beans, 70 percent are coming from Malaka district, 30 percent from Camplong, Oeso and Semau. Except for red beans which are sometimes supplied from Surabaya around 10 percent, the other types of beans are most of the times always available in NTT.

Lamatuka Village is one of the villages in Lebatukan Subdistrict, as a corn producer. On the one hand as a corn producer, on the other hand the population is still in the poverty line and is categorized as the poorest population in Lembata Regency. The purpose of this study is among others, first; identification of the causes of problems of low income of corn farmers, carried out by observation techniques and household interviews. Second, analyze the causal factors, using the application of fishbone analysis. Third, use the pareto chart to determine the most dominant factors and potential factors that also influence. Fourth, formulate the right solution, carried out by studying secondary data, in-depth interviews (key informance interviews) such as the Village Chief, Head of BPD, Community Leaders, and Agricultural Extension Officers. The list of key informance interview questions refers to the 5W-1H matrix. Fifth, provide recommendations as the most appropriate solution to the government of Lamatuka Village and Lembata Regency government so that it becomes a program and village fund allocation activity in the planning of the Village Budget in 2019. From the results of the identification of the most dominant factors and potential factors that influence the problems of corn farmers, it was concluded that the work method factors became the most dominant factor and the work material factor became a potential factor that contributed to the low income of corn farmers in Lamatuka Village. The work method factor is the most dominant factor that influences that is equal to 30.98%, and the work material factor is a potential factor which also influences that is equal to 30.85%. Research recommendations include restructuring of BUMDesa and establishing a Business Unit to ensure the availability of superior seed varieties, fertilizers and insecticides. In addition, extension activities, assistance and simulations by agricultural extension officers and continuously for farmers.

Apical dorminance on tomato crops impact on its lateral buds dormancy, it needs to be reduced by prunning the apical portion of the crop. Timeliness of prunning will affect the growth of lateral buds and its results as well. Lateral buds growth potential to become productive branches that will produce more flowers and fruits. The growth occurs when not followed by proper fertilization will lead to decreased fruit production. Nutrient that regulates flowering and fruiting is potassium, such as KNO3. Research carried out in field of State Agriculture Polytechnic of Kupang from July until November 2015. The results showed that a). The time prunning apical buds at 7 HST (days after planting), affect both the amount of production branches (6.7917), the number of fruit crops and plots (36.8333 and 464.83) and fruit weight per plot (17579.2 kgs) of tomatoes; b). KNO3 dose of 10 g/ltr (K2) , had a good influenced on fruits quantities in each crop (33.222), fruits diametres (4.1189 cm) fruits amount and its weight in each plot (419.11 fruits and 17,331 kgs). Otherwise, that dose has not a significant different with KNO3 dose of 5 g/ltr (K1), so K1 is better for fertilizer use efficiently; c). There are interactions between time of apical buds prunning on 7HST with KNO3 dose of 5 g/ltr (K1P1) where weight of tomatoes in each crop are best (1,987.21 g). This results will contributes as science and technology information for tomato farmers, teaching materials enrichment and scientific article publication.

Classical Swine Fever (CSF) is a fatal viral disease of both domestic pigs and wild boar, which has become endemic in some districts in Nusa Tenggara Timur. Little is known of how the disease gained entry, introduced and transmitted into the region through the movements of pigs and the disease. This research was aimed to identify and analyze the movement of pigs through the market chain as a pathway to spread the disease from outside and within the district of Sikka. A total of 57 respondents were face to face interviewed in this study involved sellers and buyers in the markets (4 buyers and 4 sellers in each market-a total of 32 people), suppliers of pigs (10 people), and pig farmers as many as 5 respondents per village (3 villages selected purposively). This study found 5 actors that had the highest Out-Degree values including S5, D1, F24, K1, and P1.

The development in Wini Beach coastal area will have an impact on the destruction of the mangrove ecosystem which is a habitat for the life of the macrozoobenthic fauna. This study aims to determine the community structure of macrozoobenthos including abundance, diversity, evenness and dominance of the type of macrozoobenthos in the mangrove area. The study was carried out in the District of North Insana which included the mangrove area of Temkuna Beach (station I) and the mangrove area of Tanjung Bastian Beach (station II). Taking macrozoobenthos samples was carried out at low tide using the line transect method which was made perpendicular to the land in the mangrove forest area. The results of the study found 13 types of macrozoobenthos fauna spread over 2 stations namely the 8-type gastropod class, bivalvia class 4 types and 1 type crustacean class. Medium category (H ') = 2.41 index, Uniformity Index (E) = 0.938 classified as stable community and Dominance index (D) = 0.10 low category. The Equity Index score is classified as a stable condition where no macrozoobenthos species dominate.

The purpose of this research was to determine the society's understanding of disaster mitigation or preventing the likelihood of landslides, and efforts have been made public as well as solutions regarding prevention or reduction of the occurrence of landslides. This research was conducted in the Toobaun village of West Amarasi, Kupang district. The sampling technique was proportional random sampling. Sampling from entire population was taken as 100 respondents using descriptive analysis. The results showed that: 1) The level of public understanding about vulnerable to landslides and how to cope with and mitigate that are in the low category, where people suffered a lot of losses and damages caused by landslides, 2) Efforts have been made public categorized as high, and solutions in case of landslide still categorized low, people's knowledge and understanding of disaster mitigation less than the maximum so that the public is less aware of the potential damage caused by landslides.
