Abstract

The research objectives were: (1) to determine which ruminants could be developed based on regional resource support; and (2) to identify the potential of agricultural waste to support livestock development in Pidie Regency, Aceh. This research used descriptive and exploratory methods. The descriptive method described the condition of development of potential forage areas in the Pidie district. The population data for large ruminants was calculated based on the population structure of production (weaning, young, adult, and imported cattle). Furthermore, the population based on age was converted into Animal Unit (AU). The results found that the Pidie regency had the potential for livestock development. The sub-districts of Padang Tiji had an ample opportunity as producer of rice farming waste with a total of 4,734.80 tonnes/year, maize 81.3; cassava 12.5; soybean 4.95; green beans 1.37 and peanuts 0.822 DDM tonnes/year. The potential that had not been utilized was 4,241.57 tonnes/year and has a capacity of 3,720.68 (ST/year), followed by Sakti district and Mutiara Timur districts. The conclusion showed Pidie Regency can increase the population of ruminants by increasing the benefits of feed from agricultural waste.

The objectives of this paper are (1) to determine which ruminant livestock commodities can be seeded based on regional resource support; (2) identify the potential for agricultural waste to be used as a basis for livestock development in Pidie Regency
Pidie Regency is consist of lowland and upland areas, it is located between 04,300 -04,600 north latitude,95,750and 96,200 east longitude

Summary

Introduction

The paradigm of livestock development is how to achivehe of a healthy, productive and creative of the community through resilient livestock based on local resources. There are several visions that must be achieved including: (a) providing food from livestock, (b) empowering livestock human resources, (c) increasing livestock income, (d) creating livestock jobs, and (e) conserving and utilizing natural resources, which as a whole it is in line with the agricultural development program, namely building food security and developing the agricultural agribusiness sector [1]. According to [2], the main challenge in developing livestock business in one region is the existence of a livestock business area development program that will increase livestock productivity through optimization of local resources and local wisdom. There has been a change in the function of land which previously provided a source of feed to become wetland / agriculture to meet the demands of food supply due to the increasing population. The provision of feed has limitations due to the competing needs for food supply for human consumption
