PKM Peningkatan Produktifitas Kambing Melalui Teknologi Pakan Serasi dan Optimalisasi Limbah Peternakan Di Kelompok Ternak Al. Jauhar, Sorong, Papua Barat

Al. Jauhar group is located in Warmon Kokoda, Aimas District, Sorong Regency, West Papua. This group has 31 goats. The maintenance system carried out by this group is the cut and curry system. Goat farmers do not know how to provide good feed for their goats. The breeders still provide makeshift feed without paying attention to the nutritional needs of the goats. This causes the productivity of goats is not optimal. They are also unfamiliar with the provision of suitable feed with a specific average daily gain (ADG) target and feed formulations to improve the quality of goat feed. Another problem faced by Al. Jauhar is goat waste. Manure waste is left unmanaged, causing the cage to smell like ammonia. To overcome partner problems, the programs offered are in the form of training in providing compatible feed, solid waste treatment, and processing of goat livestock liquid waste. Implementing the community partnership program uses a participatory approach and action involving the community and government officials. The results achieved in this activity are increasing residents' knowledge in the provision of a suitable feed, processing solid waste, and processing goat livestock liquid waste.

Penerapan Teknologi Eco-Effisiensi Dan Green Economy Dalam Upaya Menuju UKM Tahu Mandiri Energi Di Kelurahan Margoagung, Kepenawon Seyegan Kabupaten Sleman

The Community Partnership Program at the Khale Tahu Sehat UKM in Margoagung Village, Kapanewon Seyegan, Sleman Regency aims to realize the role of IST AKPRIND Yogyakarta with the output of a superior research strategy plan on renewable energy and environmental engineering in a more real way in partner SMEs. One of the home industry clusters that has received a lot of attention from an environmental perspective is the small tofu industry located in the Margoagung Village. The rapid development of the small tofu industry will have a positive impact on progress that brings an increase in the economic income of rural communities. However, the waste generated from the tofu production process will have a negative impact on the village environment, becoming smelly and dirty. Based on these negative impacts, tofu waste water from small industries in rural areas has the potential to pollute the environment if it is disposed of directly without any treatment. Soil pollution can occur when wastewater seeps into the ground and can result in resident wells close to the seepage of the wastewater that cannot be used anymore. Therefore, it is necessary to develop technology for wastewater treatment that can produce biogas as renewable energy that can be developed so that it is beneficial for the community rural population (eco-efficiency technology). The use of this waste management method is not only "handling" but also has use/benefit as renewable energy and the liquid waste that comes out of the digester is used for agricultural irrigation and the sludge is used organic fertilizer, therefore saving on water, materials and energy is needed. This technology can reduce pollutant solids in the range of 75-90%. The method used in the implementation of the Tofu UKM development program is by socialization, the application of technology with the anaerobic method, eco-efficiency technology, easy to practice with relatively cheap and easy-to-obtain equipment so that small and medium industry players no longer assume that small and medium industry wastewater treatment is a very expensive load. In addition, alternative methods of waste treatment with economic value are sought that can produce biogas as renewable energy for fuel for grinding machines, and soy-boiling boilers. Meanwhile, the methods used are socialization, training, equipment manufacturing, application of technology based on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and marketing IT, as well as assistance to solve the liquid waste problem of small tofu industries in an effort to realize a Green Economy. UKM Tahu Sehat Khale expands the market network with the IT e-commerce method, which can increase by 40%. The results obtained are appropriate technological equipment to increase production by 40%, including 1 (one) vertical soybean grinding machine, 1 (one) horizontal soybean grinding machine, 1 (one) unit boiling boiler, 10 m3 volume anaerobic digester 1 (one) unit. one) unit, 1 (one) ERP-based IT e-commerce device, 2 (two) e-commerce accounts, turnover and assets increased by 40% in addition to publications through the mass media of National newspapers, 1 (one) video, 1 (one) ) articles in ISSN journals, 1 (one) article in national proceedings and 1 (one) article in international conferences, 3 (three) Copyrights, 10 MBKM students build villages that are recognized for 10 credits in one year of program implementation.

PELATIHAN PEMBUATAN NUGGET IKAN TUNA BAGI KELOMPOK MITRA DI DESA TANA TOA KECAMATAN KAJANG KABUPATEN BULUKUMBA

Indonesia as a Maritime Country has wider sea/water than its land area, one of the countries that has the largest fish content in the world. This extraordinary potential must be utilized to the fullest extent possible to improve the economy for the welfare of the people. The nutritional content of fish includes protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and omega 3 fatty acids which have good benefits for the body. In addition, the nutritional content of fish is also much better when compared to foodstuffs derived from other proteins.

Fish nuggets are selected as a product that will be developed in this PKM. Other ingredients needed for fish nuggets, such as carrots and corn, are widely available in Bulukumba. Carrots and corn, can enrich the nutritional content of the nuggets, so that children and adults will be interested in consuming fish nuggets, which will lead to an increase in income health and community welfare

- Cultivation of Acem acem (Oxalis dehradunesis Raizada) and Its Utilization as a Hand Sanitizer for Protection of Exposure to Chemical Pesticides

Farmers in Tanah Karo still use chemical pesticides a lot and often experience direct exposure to pesticides due to not using personal protection during pesticide spraying.

Pemberdayaan Kelompok Tani Sayuran melalui Intensifikasi Ekologi Menggunakan Eko-Teknologi Non-Mikroba di Sekitar Kebun Raya Kendari

Agricultural Innovation in the green revolution contains high ecological risk, so that eco-technology innovation is needed for the sustainability of agricultural productivity. Unfortunately, not all farmers know about of this innovation, including members of the Nanga-Nanga Makmur Farmers Group around the Kendari City Botanical Gardens. This Community Partnership Program aimed to: (i) increase the knowledge and skills of target farmers regarding the management of abundant organic waste around farmers' fields to be used as non-microbial biofertilizer products; and (ii) provide knowledge to target farmers about conducting soil quality testing as a reference for farmers to determine the dose of non-microbial biofertilizer on managed agricultural land by members of the farmer groups. The method applied to achieve this goal is to do incidental counseling through face-to-face activities, training activities through mentoring in plot demonstration actions. Data on the increasing knowledge and skills of farmers were recorded through photos during mentoring and pilot demonstrations and analyzed descriptively. The results of these activities have increased the knowledge and skills of farmers in evaluating soil fertility using KIT for soil analysis, and determining the need for organic matter and fertilizers. Partner farmers have been able and skilled to produce biochar, compost tea, and compost as non-microbial biofertilizer by utilizing liquid organic waste and organic solid waste. Farmers can to manage soil quality and plant health through the application of non-microbial biofertilizer to soil and plants. Farmers also have insight into pest/disease control through an eco-technology approach.
