This study concludes that improvements in price perception and e-WOM can enhance purchase decisions.

Odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) is an important ruminant forage because of its high palatability, adaptability to tropical environments, and potential for high biomass production. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of solid organic fertilizer on the growth and production of odot grass as a basis for developing productive and sustainable forage cultivation. The experiment was conducted in Pangi Village, Dulupi District, Boalemo Regency, from February to March 2026 using a completely randomized design with five treatments and three replications. The treatments consisted of P0 without solid organic fertilizer, P1 at 10 t/ha, P2 at 20 t/ha, P3 at 30 t/ha, and P4 at 40 t/ha. Observed variables included plant height, leaf number, tiller number, and fresh weight production. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by Duncan’s multiple range test at the 5% significance level. The results showed that P4 produced the best response for all measured parameters. The highest plant height was 77.83 ± 43.80 cm, with 18.83 ± 3.67 leaves, 2.42 ± 1.38 tillers, and fresh weight production of 52.33 ± 10.12 t/ha. These improvements indicate that 40 t/ha solid organic fertilizer enhanced nutrient availability and supported biomass formation. Solid organic fertilizer is therefore a promising locally based cultivation input for improving ruminant forage productivity.

High-quality forage selection is a central factor in improving Bali cattle performance, particularly in smallholder systems that rely heavily on local feed resources. This study evaluated the effects of odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) and pakchong grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Thailand) on feed intake, average daily gain, and feed conversion ratio of male Bali cattle. The experiment was conducted for 30 days from February to March 2026 at CV. RnB Farm, Gorontalo Regency. Nine male Bali cattle with relatively homogeneous initial body weights of 150–200 kg was assigned to a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications. The treatments were P0, field grass as the control; P1, 100% odot grass plus concentrate; and P2, 100% pakchong grass plus concentrate. Dry matter intake did not differ significantly among treatments, with values of 6.47 ± 0.19, 6.52 ± 0.19, and 6.55 ± 0.16 kg/head/day for P0, P1, and P2, respectively. In contrast, average daily gain differed significantly, with the highest value observed in P2 at 0.56 ± 0.08 kg/head/day, followed by P1 at 0.52 ± 0.09 kg/head/day and P0 at 0.45 ± 0.06 kg/head/day. Feed conversion ratio also differed significantly, with the most efficient value recorded in P2 at 11.98 ± 2.10. These findings indicate that pakchong grass combined with concentrate provides the best feed efficiency and growth performance, while odot grass remains a promising alternative forage for improving Bali cattle productivity.

This study aims to analyze the influence of a halal lifestyle on consumer preferences in selecting Sharia-compliant retail products. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review method, reviewing various empirical and conceptual studies published between 2017 and 2025. The analysis focused on the relationship between halal awareness, religiosity, ethical consumption values, and Muslim consumer behavior in making choices about Sharia-compliant retail products and services. The results indicate that a halal lifestyle is viewed not only as a form of compliance with Islamic law but also as a social identity and a modern consumption pattern that influences consumer purchasing decisions. Consumers with high levels of halal awareness and religiosity tend to have a greater preference for Sharia-compliant retail products that guarantee halal certification, quality, transparency, and ethical values ​​in their business processes. Furthermore, trust, Islamic brand image, and marketing strategies based on Islamic values ​​contribute to strengthening consumer loyalty to Sharia-compliant retail. This research provides managerial implications for Sharia-compliant retail businesses to develop innovative, educational, and tailored marketing strategies to meet the halal lifestyle needs of modern Muslims.

High feed costs remain a major constraint in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaculture, requiring alternative feed formulations based on local ingredients with adequate nutritional quality. This study aimed to evaluate the proximate composition of fish feed formulated from snail meal, Azolla meal, and turmeric as a phytobiotic supplement. The study used an experimental method with a Completely Randomized Design consisting of three treatments and three replications. The feed formulations were P1, consisting of 55% snail meal, 25% Azolla meal, 5% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour; P2, consisting of 39% snail meal, 39% Azolla meal, 7% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour; and P3, consisting of 25% snail meal, 51% Azolla meal, 9% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% tapioca flour. The analyzed parameters included protein, moisture, fat, ash, crude fiber, and carbohydrate contents. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by the Least Significant Difference test. The results showed that feed formulation significantly affected all proximate parameters. P3 produced the highest protein content of 43.87%, fat content of 3.68%, crude fiber of 3.11%, and carbohydrate content of 7.28%, while also producing the lowest ash content of 28.46%. Moisture content ranged from 1.11% to 1.30%, indicating good feed storage stability. These findings demonstrate that the integration of snail meal, Azolla, and turmeric can improve the nutritional quality of alternative Nile tilapia feed and support locally based sustainable aquaculture feed development.

This study examines the role of extension agents in supporting the success of beef cattle farmer groups in Tabongo District, Gorontalo Regency. The success of farmer groups is influenced not only by livestock potential, but also by the effectiveness of extension services, institutional capacity, and farmers’ willingness to adopt improved farming practices. Using an explanatory approach, the study collected primary data from 50 members of beef cattle farmer groups across nine villages through a Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression. The descriptive findings show that extension agents performed well as educators, facilitators, motivators, dynamizers, and catalysts. However, the catalyst role was excluded from the regression model because its indicators were invalid. Partially, only the motivator role had a significant effect on group success, with a coefficient of 1.683, t-value of 4.758, and significance value of 0.000. The educator, facilitator, and dynamizer roles showed positive but insignificant effects. Simultaneously, the roles of extension agents significantly influenced group success, with an F-value of 9.474 and significance value of 0.000. The R Square value of 0.457 indicates that extension agents explained 45.7% of group success.

The use of local raw materials in Nile tilapia feed formulation needs to be developed to reduce dependence on increasingly expensive conventional feed ingredients. This study aimed to analyze the effect of different formulations of chicken feather meal and moringa leaf meal with turmeric addition as a phytobiotic on the chemical composition of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) feed. The study used a completely randomized design with three treatments and three replications. P1 consisted of 55% chicken feather meal, 25% moringa leaf meal, 5% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% starch; P2 consisted of 40% chicken feather meal, 40% moringa leaf meal, 5% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% starch; and P3 consisted of 25% chicken feather meal, 55% moringa leaf meal, 5% turmeric, 10% corn flour, and 5% starch. The parameters analyzed were crude protein, moisture, ash, crude lipid, crude fiber, and carbohydrate. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by the least significant difference test when significant differences occurred. The results showed that P3 produced the highest protein content (22.60%), ash content (6.65%), crude fiber (6.55%), and carbohydrate (8.45%), whereas P2 produced the highest lipid content (6.54%). Based on chemical analysis, P3 was the most prominent formulation for most proximate parameters. However, this formulation cannot be directly concluded as the best feed for fish growth because digestibility, palatability, feed conversion ratio, growth, survival, and health responses were not evaluated. Further biological testing is therefore required to confirm its feasibility for Nile tilapia culture.

Food safety of fresh fish is an important concern because fish is highly perishable and may be misused with hazardous preservatives such as formalin. This study aimed to determine formalin content and analyze the relationship between length and weight of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and formalin levels in traditional markets of Gorontalo City. The study was conducted from January to February 2026 in five traditional markets, namely TPI Tenda, Moodu, Potanga, Andalas, and Sentral. Nile tilapia samples were analyzed using a formaldehyde test kit, and formalin levels were expressed in ppm. Total length and fish weight were measured, and the relationship between physical size and formalin content was analyzed using Pearson correlation. The results showed that all Nile tilapia samples tested positive for formalin, with concentrations ranging from 0.11 to 0.23 ppm. The highest formalin levels were found in TPI Tenda and Moodu, each at 0.23 ppm, while the lowest level was found in Sentral at 0.11 ppm. Fish length ranged from 19.43 to 25.61 cm, while fish weight ranged from 0.17 to 1.78 g. The correlations between length and formalin content and between weight and formalin content were both very strongly negative, with r = -0.97. These findings indicate that smaller fish tended to contain higher formalin levels. Market supervision, trader education, and formalin-free fish handling practices should be strengthened to protect consumer health.

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture requires an efficient and low-cost feeding strategy that can support fry growth and survival. This study aimed to analyze the effects of three types of natural feed, namely silk worms, earthworms, and snails, on absolute length growth, absolute weight growth, and survival of Nile tilapia fry. The study was conducted at the Aquaculture Laboratory, Faculty of Science and Computer Science, Universitas Muhammadiyah Gorontalo, from January 31 to March 2, 2026. An experimental method was applied using a Completely Randomized Design consisting of three treatments and three replications. A total of 45 Nile tilapia fry were reared in 9 plastic containers filled with 10 L of water, with 5 fish in each container. Growth and survival data were analyzed using ANOVA at the 5% significance level, while water quality was analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the type of natural feed had no significant effect on absolute length growth, absolute weight growth, and survival. Descriptively, silk worms produced the highest length and weight growth, with values of 2.99 cm and 6.37 g, respectively. Snails produced the highest survival rate of 86.66%. Water quality remained stable, with temperature ranging from 26.3 to 26.8°C, pH from 7.6 to 7.9, and dissolved oxygen from 5.2 to 5.6 mg/L. These findings indicate that silk worms are potential natural feed for improving growth, while snails support the survival of Nile tilapia fry.
