A concern that the supplementation of swine diets with vitamin K may overcome the effects of warfarin-based rodenticides used in swine facilities was evaluated. Rats did not respond to additional vitamin K and all rats fed warfarin died within 5 days, indicating that vitamin K supplementation of swine diets should not impede rat control. Key words: Vitamin K, warfarin, swine, rats

The efficacy of an E. coli derived phytase on phosphorus (P) digestibility and excretion, on the form of the P excreted, and the optimal dietary calcium (Ca):P ratio was examined. In exp. 1, 63 barrows (40.4 ± 1.9 kg) were assigned to receive one of 21 treatments arranged as a 3 × 7 factorial. Treatments consisted of three Ca levels (0.50, 0.60 and 0.70%) and seven phytase treatments [0, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 FTU kg-1 of an E. coli-derived phytase and 500 FTU kg-1 of an A. niger phytase added to a P deficient (0.37% P) diet or 0 FTU phytase kg-1 added to a P adequate (0.53% P) diet]. In exp. 2, 144 pigs (6.52 ± 0.75 kg), received a P adequate (0.60% P) diet or a P deficient (0.44% P) diet supplemented with 0, 250, 500, 1000 or 2000 FTU phytase kg-1 for a 28-d trial. A subset of 36 barrows was then fed the same diets in a balance trial. In exp. 3, 36 barrows (7.1 ± 0.75 kg) were assigned to one of six treatments arranged as a 2 × 3 factorial (0 or 500 FTU of phytase kg-1; 1.0, 1.6 or 2.2 Ca:P ratio). In exp. 1, P digestibility improved from 21 to 54% with increasing phytase (quadratic; P < 0.05). Supplementing the diet with 500 FTU phytase kg-1 decreased the output of total and soluble P by 25% in exp. 2 and to a similar extent in exp. 3 at the lowest Ca:P ratio (P < 0.05). The effect of phytase on total P digestibility was mitigated as the dietary Ca:P ratio increased in exp. 3. Supplementation of swine diets with an E. coli derived phytase decreases output of total and soluble forms of P, but this effect is reduced at high dietary Ca:P ratios. Key words: Swine, E. coli phytase, phosphorus, soluble phosphorus

Juvenile spot prawns, Pandalus platyceros (initial carapace length 15.0–22.5 mm), were successfully tagged with Bergman–Jefferts coded wire tags in the thoracic sinus. Tagged prawns, prawns subject to tagging needle insertion but without tags, and a control group were tested. No significant differences in growth and survival within or between test groups occurred and no behavioral changes were observed among tagged animals. All tagged prawns molted at least twice during the 6-mo experiment. Average tag retention was 95%. Key words: Pandalus platyceros, tagging, tag retention, molting, survival

<p>The experiment was conducted to study the effect of thyroxine hormone injection on female marble goby on metamorphosis and survival rate of their larva. Thyroxine hormone was injected into female at the dosage of 0,25 and 50 µg/g body weight. And then the female were reared with males in spawning tanks. Spawned eggs were hatched and the larva was observed for organogenesis, yolk absorption and growth in length. Formation of eye spot, swim bladder and body pigment becoming faster as the increase in thyroxine hormone dose. Yolk volume in larva that was obtained form thyroxine injected female decreased faster than those of control. Thyroxine hormone did not affected length growth and survival rate</p> <p>Key words: Marble goby, broodstock, thyroxine, metamorphosis, survival rate, larva</p>

<p>Dua percobaan telah dilakukan, yaitu tanpa dan dengan larva ikan. Percobaan pertama, yang menggunakan 3 konsentrasi diazinon 0. 2 dan 4 ppm dan 3 ulangan, mempelajari pertumbuhan rotifera, cladocera dan copepoda. Percobaan kedua mempunyai 2 perlakuan, yaitu diazinon 0 dan 4 ppm (yang terbaik dari percobaan pertama) serta 4 ulangan untuk mengevaluasi: 1) ketersediaan, pemanfaatan dan susunan jasad-jasad pakan, 2) pertumbuhan dan kelangsungan hidup larva, serta 3) perkembangan larva ikan. Larva yang berumur satu hari ditebar pada saat kelimpahan rotifera tertinggi di hapa dengan kepadatan 40 larva/1 atau 3.200 larva/hapa. Hapa (mesh 0,8 mm) yang berukuran 50x40x50 cm ditempatkan dalam kolam-kolam beton yang berukuran 4,25x2,00x 0,65 m. Kolam-kolam ini mula-mula dikeringkan selama 2 hari, dipupuk dengan kotoran ayam 1.000 g/m3 dan diisi air setinggi 50 cm. Keesokan harinya kolam dipupuk dengan urea dan tripel superfosfat masing-masing 20 dan 30 g/m3. Dua hari kemudian air diberi diazinon sesuai perlakuan. Hasil percobaan pertama menunjukkan bahwa diazinon meningkatkan ketersediaan rotifera. Populasi rotifera tertinggi dicapai di kolam yang mendapat diazinon 4 ppm. Percobaan kedua memberikan laju pertumbuhan harian dan kelangsungan hidup larva ikan serta ketersediaan dan pemanfaatan rotifer tertinggi pada pemberian diazinon 4 ppm.</p> <p>Kata kunci: Pakan alami, larva. <em>Oxyeleotris marmorata, </em>diazinon. kelangsungan hidup, pertumbuhan</p> <p> </p> <p>ABSTRACT</p> <p>Two experiments were conducted, without and with fish larvae.

Hemibagrus nemurus is a local commodity fish that is especially favored by people in South Sumatra, Java and Kalimantan. The low survival rate of H. nemurus in the seed rearing phase is one of the obstacles in developing its cultivation. In this study an environmental modification was carried out in the rearing of H. nemurus seed containers through the addition of aeration and recirculation to increase the growth and survival. The study was conducted at a hatchery of farmers in the Kemang area, West Java. The initial length of seed was 10.1 ± 0.17 mm. The container size used was 300 liters of fiberglass. Stocking density was 10 fish / L. The maintenance period was 1 month. The treatments tested were rearing of seeds in an aquarium using A) Aeration system, B) Recirculation System, and C) Aeration + Recirculation System. The results showed that the use of rearing containers equipped with Aeration + Recirculation system resulted in better growth (29.4 mm) and survival (24.5%) compared to rearing in containers with only aeration or recirculation systems. Key words : Aeration,Growth, Hemibagrus nemurus, Recirculation, Survival rate

The effect of container size on the growth and survival of herbaceous perennials (Artemesia, Lamium, Thymus, Echinacea Monarda, Gentiana, Penstemon, Stachys) overwintered over two seasons at two commercial nurseries was evaluated. Results indicate: (1) For most species, container size does not affect survival; (2) Container size was a significant factor in plant growth and in almost all cases, a larger container resulted in a larger plant compared with a smaller container. Plug-grown perennials may be fall planted in their final container size to maximize growth potential by the following spring. Key words: Low temperature, overwintering, storage, perennial plants
