Arnoldussen | Summary In this review, we discuss the role of adipokines in the onset of puberty in children with obesity during adrenarche and gonadarche and provide a clear and detailed overview of the biological processes of two major players, leptin and adiponectin. Adipokines, especially leptin and adiponectin, seem to induce an early onset of puberty in girls and boys with obesity by affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary- gonadal (HPG) axis. Moreover, adipokines and their receptors are expressed in the gonads, suggesting a role in sexual maturation and reproduction. All in all, adipokines may be a clue in understanding mechanisms underlying the onset of puberty in child- hood obesity and puberty onset variability.

Thereby, defining the role of 25 adipokines is of importance in elucidating the variability in puberty as the expression of adipokines is sex-specific and is altered with body composition, adiposity, and during growth spurts. Moreover, adipokines and their receptors are expressed in gonads and several brain regions suggesting involvement in the onset of puberty and sex- ual maturation. Lastly, adipokines interfere in processes regulating timing and duration of puberty, for instance in the HPA and HPG axes which are both key players during adrenarche and gonadarche.

This roughly 28-day-cycle comprises several phases, including the follicular phase and luteal phase. During the follicular phase, increasing levels of FSH stimulate the maturation of follicles and the production of estrogen from the ovaries. This in turn inhibits the release of FSH from the pituitary gland. A high level of estrogen will induce the production of LH by the pituitary gland, resulting in ovula- tion. The matured follicle secretes progesterone thereby inhibiting the release of GnRH.

Leptin stimulates the release of kisspeptin in KNDy neurons, which activates the hypothalamus to produce gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). In response to the release of GnRH, the pituitary gland secretes follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH), which stimulates the ovaries to release estrogen resulting in the formation of secondary sex characteristics in girls. Estrogen stimulates the production of leptin. Adiponectin inhibits GnRH release resulting in reduced levels of GnRH and thereby a delayed onset of puberty.

Thereby, leptin plausibly has a minor impact in adrenarche in boys. Since leptin receptors are found in the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and testes, they might be involved in the onset of puberty by affecting the HPG axis during gonadarche. Leptin stimulates the release of kisspeptin and GnRH, and as a consequence, it accelerates the onset of puberty (Table 1, Figure 3). In contrast, adiponectin inhibits the secretion of GnRH, GH, LH, and FSH therewith delaying the onset of puberty. However, adiponectin levels are generally lower in men compared with women and even lower in men with obe- age age of 13.4 years. 70 4.1 | Fat storage Many aspects of the reproductive physiology are energetically demanding,71 and therefore, an adequate energy level is necessary.

Firstly, determining both the onset and stage of puberty is rather difficult. For instance, assessing the stage of breast develop- ment in girls with obesity is complicated as clinicians should differenti- 2 changes in response to the activated HPG axis. to determine the onset of puberty refer to secondary sex characteris- tics, such as testicular volume in boys and breast development in girls. A more accurate measurement of puberty onset would be to combine secondary sex characteristics with plasma or serum hormone level measurements such as LH, FSH, adipokines, e.g. leptin. Thereby, differences in puberty measurements could explain variations in the age of puberty onset between boys and girls within different Thereby, resistin is expressed in the testes of rats, but its exact 83 Secondly, male pubertal 1467789x, 2020, 6, Downloaded from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/obr.13005, Wiley Online Library on [10/03/2024].

Leptin activates kisspeptin secretion in KNDy neurons, this activates the production of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus. GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH), activating the production of testosterone from the testes allowing the development of secondary sex characteristics. Leptin also inhibits the production of testosterone, which may cause a delayed onset of puberty. Adiponectin inhibits GnRH release. Low levels of adiponectin, as a result of TNF-α and IL-6 expression, lead to a reduced inhibition of GnRH. In response to GnRH release, the pituitary gland will secrete FSH and LH, and the testes will produce testosterone resulting in the development of secondary sex characteristics in boys countries, and In addition, the inclusion of a of puberty. ferent time points is complicated, as subjects examined several decades ago presented pronounced differences concerning lifestyle patterns such as nutrition and exercise habits. Lastly, obesity or over- weight is often determined by BMI, a classification based on weight and height measurements. Additionally, it is important that all studies studies or across continents, ethnicities proper age range (8-16 years) is important when assessing the onset (Figure 4). 12-15,17,20-23,49,77-79,84,85 30,47 Furthermore, comparison between studies from dif- 86 Specifically in children, BMI is often dependent on age and growth use the same anthropometric standards and sex-specific cut-offs. 13,14,16-23,49-51,77-80 fat and would represent a more accurate measurement in its regard. Based on this review, several suggestions can be made for further research. Firstly, the roles of adipokines like resistin, chemerin, visfatin, and omentin in puberty onset, fertility, and sexual maturation should be examined in detail. Secondly, future research examining the onset of puberty should combine indicators of puberty onset (e.g. breast development or testicular volume) with plasma or serum hor- mone measurements such as LH, FSH, sex-steroids, adipokines (e.g. spurts. ment in case of growth spurts. distribution of body fat should be taken into account in determining puberty and obesity in children.

The majority of the studies examining boys with obesity indicate an early onset of puberty, while not all reported an earlier onset of puberty. In detail, high leptin, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels combined with low adiponectin levels stimulate the activation of the HPG axis in girls and boys with obesity, and 5, 45, 50, 51 REFERENCES 1.

Future research should focus on assessing puberty onset by measuring consistent puberty markers and determine the percentage of body fat and its distribution and adipokines and hormone serum levels particularly involved in the HPG axis.

TUJUAN PEMBELAJARAN Setelah mengikuti perkuliahan ini, mahasiswa diharapkan mampu: Memahami konsep dasar evaluasi performa broiler. Mengidentifikasi data teknis yang dibutuhkan dalam perhitungan performa. Menghitung mortalitas, deplesi, bobot badan rata-rata, FCR, dan IP. Menghitung biaya produksi, penerimaan, keuntungan, dan efisiensi usaha broiler. Menganalisis hubungan antara performa teknis dengan hasil ekonomi usaha. ________________________________________ 3. DESKRIPSI MATERI Dalam usaha broiler modern, keberhasilan produksi tidak hanya diukur dari bobot panen, tetapi juga dari efisiensi penggunaan pakan, tingkat kematian, umur panen, serta keuntungan yang diperoleh per siklus. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kemampuan untuk menghitung parameter teknis produksi seperti FCR dan IP, serta mengaitkannya dengan analisis usaha agar dapat diketahui apakah usaha berjalan efisien dan menguntungkan. ________________________________________ 4. POKOK-POKOK MATERI A. Konsep Dasar Evaluasi Performa Produksi Broiler 1. Pengertian Performa Produksi Performa produksi broiler adalah gambaran tingkat keberhasilan pemeliharaan ayam broiler selama satu periode/siklus pemeliharaan yang dinilai dari indikator teknis tertentu. 2. Parameter Utama Performa Produksi Parameter yang umum digunakan meliputi: Populasi awal DOC Jumlah ayam hidup saat panen Mortalitas (%) Deplesi (%) Umur panen (hari) Bobot badan rata-rata panen (kg/ekor) Total konsumsi pakan (kg) Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) Indeks Performa (IP) ________________________________________ B. Parameter Teknis dan Rumus Perhitungan ________________________________________ 1. Mortalitas (%) Pengertian: Persentase ayam yang mati selama masa pemeliharaan. Rumus: "Mortalitas (%)"="Jumlah ayam mati" /"Populasi awal" ×100 Contoh: Populasi awal = 5.000 ekor Ayam mati = 150 ekor "Mortalitas"=150/5000×100=3% ________________________________________ 2. Deplesi (%) Pengertian: Persentase pengurangan populasi akibat kematian dan afkir/culling. Rumus: "Deplesi (%)"="Ayam mati + ayam afkir" /"Populasi awal" ×100 Jika tidak ada afkir, maka deplesi = mortalitas. ________________________________________ 3. Persentase Ayam Hidup / Livability (%) Rumus: "Livability (%)"="Jumlah ayam panen" /"Populasi awal" ×100 atau "Livability (%)"=100-"Deplesi (%)" ________________________________________ 4. Bobot Badan Rata-Rata Panen Rumus: "Bobot rata-rata (kg/ekor)"="Total bobot panen (kg)" /"Jumlah ayam panen (ekor)" ________________________________________ 5. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) Pengertian: FCR adalah rasio jumlah pakan yang dikonsumsi terhadap pertambahan bobot hidup atau bobot hidup yang dihasilkan. Rumus praktis broiler: "FCR"="Total konsumsi pakan (kg)" /"Total bobot hidup panen (kg)" Interpretasi: Semakin rendah nilai FCR, semakin efisien penggunaan pakan. Contoh: Total pakan = 16.000 kg Total bobot panen = 9.600 kg "FCR"=16.000/9.600=1,67 Interpretasi: Untuk menghasilkan 1 kg bobot hidup, dibutuhkan 1,67 kg pakan. ________________________________________ 6. Indeks Performa (IP) Pengertian: IP adalah indikator gabungan untuk menilai performa pemeliharaan broiler berdasarkan: daya hidup, bobot badan, umur panen, efisiensi pakan. Rumus umum IP: "IP"=("Livability (%)" ×"Bobot rata-rata (kg)" )/("Umur panen (hari)" ×"FCR" )×100 Contoh: Livability = 97% Bobot rata-rata = 2,0 kg Umur panen = 35 hari FCR = 1,67 "IP"=(97×2,0)/(35×1,67)×100 "IP"=194/58,45×100=331,9 Jadi, IP = 331,9 ________________________________________ C. Interpretasi Nilai FCR dan IP 1. Interpretasi FCR < 1,50 = sangat efisien 1,50 – 1,65 = efisien/baik 1,66 – 1,80 = cukup > 1,80 = kurang efisien Catatan: Nilai ini dapat berbeda tergantung strain, umur panen, sistem kandang, musim, dan standar perusahaan. ________________________________________ 2. Interpretasi IP (umum) > 400 = sangat baik / ممتاز 351 – 400 = baik 301 – 350 = cukup baik 251 – 300 = sedang < 250 = kurang Dalam praktik kemitraan, IP sering menjadi dasar evaluasi bonus performa. ________________________________________ 5. HUBUNGAN PARAMETER TEKNIS DENGAN KINERJA USAHA Performa teknis sangat menentukan keuntungan usaha broiler: FCR naik → biaya pakan meningkat → laba turun Mortalitas naik → ayam panen berkurang → penerimaan turun Bobot panen rendah → total kg jual turun → omzet turun Umur panen terlalu lama → biaya operasional naik → efisiensi turun IP tinggi → menunjukkan usaha lebih efisien dan berpotensi lebih menguntungkan ________________________________________ 6. ANALISIS USAHA BROILER PER SATU SIKLUS PRODUKSI A. Pengertian Analisis Usaha Analisis usaha broiler adalah perhitungan ekonomi untuk mengetahui: total biaya produksi, total penerimaan, pendapatan/keuntungan, efisiensi usaha, kelayakan usaha per satu siklus pemeliharaan. ________________________________________ B. Komponen Biaya Produksi 1. Biaya Tetap (Fixed Cost) Biaya yang relatif tidak berubah dalam satu siklus, misalnya: Penyusutan kandang Penyusutan peralatan Pajak/sewa lahan (jika dihitung) Bunga modal tetap (opsional) 2. Biaya Variabel (Variable Cost) Biaya yang berubah sesuai jumlah populasi, misalnya: DOC Pakan Obat, vitamin, vaksin (OVK) Sekam/litter Gas/LPG/bahan bakar brooder Listrik dan air Tenaga kerja Desinfektan dan sanitasi Biaya panen/angkut Biaya lain-lain operasional Catatan penting: Pada usaha broiler, pakan biasanya menyumbang 60–70% dari total biaya produksi. ________________________________________ 7. RUMUS ANALISIS USAHA 1. Total Biaya Produksi (TC) "TC"="Biaya Tetap"+"Biaya Variabel" ________________________________________ 2. Total Penerimaan (TR) Jika dijual berdasarkan bobot hidup: "TR"="Total bobot panen (kg)"×"Harga jual per kg" Jika ada penerimaan tambahan: "TR total"="Penjualan ayam"+"Penjualan kotoran"+"Penjualan karung pakan/bekas" ________________________________________ 3. Keuntungan / Pendapatan (π) π="TR"-"TC" ________________________________________ 4. R/C Ratio R/C="TR" /"TC" Kriteria: R/C > 1 → usaha menguntungkan R/C = 1 → impas R/C < 1 → usaha merugi ________________________________________ 5. B/C Ratio (opsional) B/C=("TR" -"TC" )/"TC" ________________________________________ 6. Harga Pokok Produksi (HPP) "HPP per kg"="Total biaya produksi" /"Total bobot panen (kg)" Interpretasi: Jika harga jual > HPP → usaha berpotensi untung. FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI FCR, IP, DAN KEUNTUNGAN A. Faktor Teknis Kualitas DOC Mutu pakan Program brooding Kepadatan kandang Ventilasi dan suhu kandang Kualitas air minum Program vaksinasi dan biosekuriti Manajemen litter Ketepatan waktu panen B. Faktor Ekonomi Harga DOC Harga pakan Harga jual ayam hidup Biaya tenaga kerja Biaya energi (gas/listrik) Sistem usaha (mandiri vs kemitraan) STRATEGI MENINGKATKAN PERFORMA DAN KEUNTUNGAN Gunakan DOC berkualitas dan seragam Laksanakan brooding secara optimal (0–14 hari sangat krusial) Pastikan feed intake dan water intake normal Terapkan biosekuriti ketat Kurangi feed wastage Pantau bobot badan mingguan Lakukan culling selektif Tentukan umur panen berdasarkan kombinasi FCR, bobot, dan harga pasar Evaluasi performa tiap siklus dengan pencatatan lengkap Gunakan data historis untuk perbaikan keputusan produksi RANGKUMAN MATERI FCR menunjukkan efisiensi penggunaan pakan. Semakin kecil FCR, semakin baik. IP adalah indikator gabungan performa broiler yang mempertimbangkan: daya hidup, bobot panen, umur panen, efisiensi pakan. Analisis usaha broiler harus mengintegrasikan: aspek teknis (FCR, IP, mortalitas, bobot panen) aspek ekonomi (biaya, penerimaan, laba, R/C, HPP) Usaha broiler dinilai baik apabila: FCR efisien, mortalitas rendah, IP tinggi, HPP lebih rendah dari harga jual, R/C ratio > 1. PENUTUP Kemampuan menghitung FCR, IP, dan melakukan analisis usaha broiler per satu siklus produksi merupakan kompetensi penting dalam manajemen produksi broiler modern. Mahasiswa tidak hanya dituntut memahami teori, tetapi juga harus mampu membaca data produksi, melakukan perhitungan secara akurat, dan mengambil keputusan manajerial berbasis hasil analisis teknis-ekonomis.
