ABSTRACT
Utilization of agricultural waste can be done as a form of optimizing the utilization of local resources and to minimize environmental damage. One of them is to take advantage of the growing media waste white oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) as compost, known as baglog. During this new baglog used as animal feed, while the compost has not been utilized intentions. However, baglog have a low nutrient content, so it needs to be combined with another in order to be used as a substitute for chemical fertilizers and pesticides that are qualified. Tithonia diversifolia is an annual weed that has the potential as a source of nutrients, containing 3.50 % N, 0.37 % P, and 4.10 % K. The study consisted of two stages of implementation, namely: 1) composting, and 2) test the quality of compost. Composting and analysis in the Laboratory of Agricultural Technology STP HAS for 6 months. This research was conducted to find the best compost formula rich in nutrients by adding Tithonia diversifolia, as well as the use of paunch manure composter. Formula best compost rich in nutrients with the addition of 50 % Tithonia diversifolia. The influence of the old oyster mushroom composting waste that is best at 60 days of composting. The addition of 50 % Tithonia and composting 60 days old showed the best formulation in composting plus. With the addition of some kind of Tithonia able to increase the level of nutrient content when compared with no Tithonia.

ABSTRACT
The general objective of this research is to develop the strategy for the fulfillment of nutrient consumption members of poor households in rural areas in order to increase the level of nutrient consumption of household and nutritional status of children, specifically aims to prove whether the increased knowledge and skills of mothers about nutrition by using the method of assistance started from planning the type of food consumed, amount, processing and serving method can increase the level of nutrient consumption and nutritional status of children families. Besides that, analyzing the adaptations behavior made by the household when there is a lack of nutrient consumption and found the strategy to fulfill nutrient consumption of poor rural households. The results of this study are useful for various departments and instances in order to fulfill the household food consumption and improve nutritional status of children. This research is also important for the future development of human resources. This research is a pilot study with the development approach and the data were analyzed descriptively. The research was conducted in Padang Pariaman district in two sub-districts, namely sub-districts 2 x 11 Kayu Tanam and sub- district Sunur at poor farmer households by sample collection method purposively. Primary data is collected by using interviews, direct observation to the location, expert discussion and forum group discussion. The results show that increased knowledge and skills of mothers by using assistance method started from planning of food that will be consumed until the serving method could increase the level of nutrient consumption of households, especially for energy nutrients, and vitamin C. The adaptation way made by the household if there is a lack of food are by reducing the expenditure of food and utilize plants at the ground. By using the assistance method can improve decision making in the fulfillment of nutrient consumption of households from 40.0% before the test became 82.5% after the test.

ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the success rate of artificial insemination in West Sumatera. The number of cows used 162 cows of four artificial insemination centre with four different parity from zero parity to parity 5th parity and frozen semen was used of four different bull. Feed similarly kept in four AI centre and data was analyzed by ANOVA of factorial of RBD. Result of this research showed that interaction between time of insemination, breed and parity were no significant different (P>0.05) on conception rate. On the contrary, there were significant different (P<0.05) on conception rate by time of insemination. The highest conception rate founded at the end of estrus 13 – 18 h (68.91 %). Local cow (71.82), third parity (59.00 %). It was concluded that the effects, time of insemination might be the important factor to get the highest conception rate of the cows. So it may be suggested that to get highest of conception rate, should inseminated the cows at the end of estrus 13 – 18 h in parity -3 and local cows was higher conception rate than the crossbred cows.

Pineapple is one of excellent commodity in Kampar district, with area is 1450 hectares, production 12,750 tons from 16.53 million pineapple trees. The purpose of study to determine the efficiency of marketing of pineapple and the factors will be affecting the farmer’s chance in selecting the institutional of marketing. 35 farmers are the respondent in this study. Logit model applied to determine the efficiency of the marketing of pineapple and simple linear regression model was used to determine the factors that affect the chances of farmers in selecting the institutional of marketing. The result showed (1) The Marketing of pineapple is not efficient yet, the rate of price changes at the farm level is smaller than the rate of change of the price at the merchant level. (2) The factor of pineapple price, production, education, income, and market information have positive influenced to the farmer’s opportunity to choose the institutional of marketing pineapple. The implications of the research shows (1) the strength of oligopsony, so the rising price is only enjoyed by traders.
