The majority of Gubrih villagers work as farmers and ranchers. The average ownership of cattle is 2 heads in each family. Thus, cow dung waste becomes a problem that must be resolved immediately. On the other hand, the need for fertilizer for cultivated plants such as rice, corn, mustard greens or other vegetable crops is often not met. Thus, efforts are made to understand and increase the ability of farmers to utilize cow dung waste into liquid organic fertilizer (cow dung POC) through counseling and training is an effort to solve problems that exist in the village of Gubrih. This community service activity is carried out through collaboration between researchers, KKN students and PPL in the Wringin sub-district.

The results of the service show that the farmers of Gubrih village are very enthusiastic about making organic fertilizer from cow dung waste which has been piling up in the yard.
