An experimental design was a completely randomized design (CRD). Fifteen Thai native cattle were randomly allocated into 5 treatment groups with 3 animals in one group and one cattle was one replication assigning to be fed with various roughages: (1) fresh Napier grass (NP) (2) fresh oil palm fronds (OPF) (3) oil palm fronds silage (4) OPF silage with 2% of molasses and (5) NaOH treated OPF (1.5% by weight OPF). All treatments were supplemented with concentrate feed consisting of 14% of crude protein at the rate of 1% of live weight (BW). The experimental period was 120 days. The data were analyzed with analysis of variance and mean comparisons among treatments were Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT). The results showed that no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed among 5 treatments in feed intake of dry matter digestibility of crude protein digestibility of neutral detergent fiber feed conversion ratio and growth rates. However the lowest production cost for 1 kg gain was obtained from the cattle fed with NaOH treated OPF.

The purposes of this research were 1) Study behavior and demand of consumers for handicraft product from palm leaf. 2) Design and development handicraft product from palm Leaf. 3) Study of consumer satisfaction for handicraft product from palm Leaf. The results found that. the community of housewife at Tambon Takaok choose artificial flowers and bag. Demand of the buyer in Tall vase flower arrangements Image of Buddha decorate with flower spherical vase flower arrangements and corsages handbag purse and cosmetic bag. Pass the tested to Thai Community Product Standard.The result of customer satisfaction showed that the average highest satisfaction product was spherical vase flower arrangements corsages and tall vase flower arrangements. The average high satisfaction product was Image of Buddha decorate with flowercosmetic bagpurse and handbag .

This research had the following objectives: to study 1) basic sweet bread recipe 2) proper amount of ripe palm fruit pulp for production 3) proper amount of yeast for production 4) product acceptance and 5 of ripe palm fruit pulp added sweet bread was and 5) evaluation of product using sensory test. 4 levels of amount ripe palm fruit pulp were 15 20 25 and 30 percent. 4 levels of amount of yeast were 0.6 1.0 1.4 and 1.8 percent of dough weight. Experiment used Randomized Complete Block Design Average values were analyzed using Analysis of variances and the difference of average values were compared by Duncan’s New Multi Range Test using ready made statistical programs. Acceptance of ripe palm fruit pulp added sweet bread product was evaluated using satisfactory of color oder flavor texture and overall satisfaction 100 evaluators did acceptance test using consumer test and 7 days shelf life was studied

The aim of this research is to study white and colour resist printing of dye extracted from dry nipa palm shell. The printing recipes and fixation condition were studied in this work. The result of white resist printing showed that 30 % owp of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) was used to be a resisting agent. The steam fixation for 15 minutes was suitable to show a good white resist printing in whiteness and sharpness of printing pattern. The whiteness value was 35.05. The washing and rubbing fastness were good to very good and light fastness was fair. The tensile strengths of warp and weft directions were decreased to 10.29 % and 4.25 % respectively. The colour resist printing was using Curcuma longa Linn. powder as illuminant dye. The dye was miscible in 30 % owp of sodium carbonate. The colour resist printing results were corresponding as white resist printing results. The 15 minute of steam fixation showed a good colour resist printing. The Curcuma longa Linn dye could be fixed on silk fabric and showed a good colour strength and sharpness of pattern. The washing and rubbing fastness were good to very good. And light fastness was fair. The tensile strengths of warp and weft directions were decreased to 18.37 % and 4.18 % respectively.

Replacement of fertilizer with latex sludge as nutrient sources for oil palm seedlings (3 months) was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The treatments consisted of control chemical fertilizer and latex sludge 10 30 50 70 and 90 grams per kilogram soil. The result showed that applying with latex sludge 10 and 30 grams per kilogram soil increased plant nutrients such as phosphorus potassium and magnesium significantly (p <≤ 0.05). While the growth of pre-nursery oil palm including number of leaves leaf width and length stem girth and height are the same as applied with chemical fertilizer. But using latex sludge over 30 grams per kilogram soil have an effect on oil palm seedlings by reducing growth. So in conclusion Latex sludge at the rate of 10-30 grams per kilograms soil can be replaced fertilizers as nutrient sources for pre-nursery oil palm seedlings
