Pelatihan Pengembangan Hijauan Pakan di Kelompok Peternak Mekar Desa Merbaun Kecamatan Amarasi Barat Kabupaten Kupang

This training activity aims to introduce the participants to various types of forage that can be used as feed for ruminant livestock, especially cattle. Another objective is to motivate the participants to innovate in feed provision, ultimately encouraging them to start agricultural enterprises, particularly in forage production, to support the development of cattle farming in the Amarasi Barat sub-district of Kupang Regency. The training begins with providing information about different types of forage, planting methods, harvesting age, and post-harvest handling. The methods used to achieve these objectives include counseling, demonstrations, direct practice, mentoring, and evaluation. The training participants are members of the Mekar livestock group in Dusun VI (Puru), Merbaun Village – Kecamatan Amarasi Barat. The results from the mentoring and evaluation activities will be used as a reference for creating future programs related to post-harvest forage technology. After community members have acquired the knowledge and abilities of cattle raising, the community's revenues will provide better outcomes, increase income, and improve welfare in the long run.

Economic valuation of cattle farm development in Mondokan Sub-district, Sragen Regency

Agricultural development in Mondokan Sub-district encounters water scarcity which limits access to clean water for consumption and cultivation. This problem is exacerbated by shifting seasons due to global warming. The limited supply of water affects the cropping patterns of the community. Rice is planted in the rainy season and corn is planted inshifting between the dry and rainy season. Meanwhile, during the dry season, the field is abandoned. This cropping pattern has an impact on the economic level of the community. The dependence on cultivation as the main livelihood of the community needs to be solved through other alternatives, including animal husbandry. Cattle farm development in Mondokan Sub-district is supported by the environmental capacity of up to 9 million livestock units. However, the large capacity requires support in the livestock economy. The cattle farm development requires an economic valuation to obtain more significant benefits than cultivation. The economic valuation for the development of cattle farms employed the cost-benefit analysis method. The samples were farmers from Pare Village of Mondokan Sub-district who already have livestocks. The valuation assessment used the breeding system. The results of the economic valuation based on benefit and cost analysis indicate that cattle farming in Mondokan Sub-district is feasible.

Cattle production system in semi-arid area of Timor Island

Since Cattle introduced in Semi Area of East Nusa Tenggara (ENT), Bali Cattle in Timor Island is considered as the most productive cattle in terms of population. In the last 10 years Bali cattle in West Timor (Indonesia) is around 550,000 – 980,000 head, however the quality/performance of Bali cattle is considered degraded and also native vegetation continuing depleted. Until recently, forage is the main limitation for cattle production in semi-arid region of Timor. This paper discusses cattle farming development in semi-arid region of ENT, how to address the forage shortage and farmers’ response to the introduced cattle-forage innovations. The data and information were mainly taken from the collaboration research program of ACIAR and AIAT-NTT, particularly in Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala Var. Tarramba) development. The study revealed that traditional cattle farming relies on grazing land and abandoned/fallow land during dry season for forage. Fattening systems practiced mainly in the area or farmers that have enough forage, particularly Leucaena. Farmer’s plant Leucaena as part of local agroforestry and or integrated forage into maize farming as main strategy to overcome forage shortage problem. Farmers considered innovation related Leucaena as the best innovation/approach to improve cattle farming in semi-arid area. It is concluded that introduced forage legume, particularly Leucaena in semi-arid areas have increased carrying capacity of pastureland, improved soil fertility and decreased shifting cultivation or encourage more permanent crop land.

Mapping of Reproduction Disorders Caused by Infectious Diseases in Bali Cattle (Bos sundaicus) in Muna Regency, Indonesia

Background: The Government of Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province, in Indonesia, made Bali cattle a leading livestock commodity. The problem faced by farmers is the slow increase in population, which is caused by reproduction disorders. Mapping of animal diseases can be used as a guide in determining the location of cattle farming development. This study aims to determine the spread of infectious diseases found in Bali cattle in the Muna Regency. A total of 27 blood samples were obtained from the jugular veins of the cattle in Muna Regency in 9 sub-districts, that were suspected to have an infectious disease. Methods: The samples were then tested using the ELISA method for Septicaemia epizootica, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis and Trypanosomiasis, while the test for Brucellosis was conducted in parallel between RBT and CFT. Result: Brucellosis and Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis were absent, however, the prevalence of Septicaemia epizootica disease was in all regions. Trypanosomiasis disease is found in 55.5% of Bali cattle breeding centers in Muna Regency, in adjacent areas, Septicaemia epizootica was the disease with the highest rate of infection followed by Trypanosomiasis which was partial in some regions.

Exploration of potential regional resources for beef cattle farming development in West Java, Indonesia

More than 90% of cattle in Indonesia are raised by smallholder farmer. They are facing limited land resources so that the input of feed mostly depend on the agriculture waste and its environment. The aimed of this study was to determine the potential agricultural resources which influence to the development of beef cattle. The sample locations were 3 districts from the eastern part of West Java province. Panel data of variables that were thought have an effect on beef cattle development were taken from 2012 to 2019 in three regencies. These data were analyses by Multiple Regression Model using the OLS method. The stationary test was done before using time series data by unit root tests of Augmented Dickey-Fuller. The results of this research showed that the corn and Cassava production, as well as the population as a source of agriculture labor in a region was potential resources to increase of beef cattle population. The integration of cattle and corn farming on suitable land in a region needs to be considered as the strategy in beef cattle farming development, because the corn production per unit of land can produce the highest feed compared to the other food crop residues.

POTENTIAL ANIMAL FEED RESOURCES BASED ON FOOD CROP WASTE SUPPORTS DEVELOPMENT OF BEEF CATTLE IN WEST SUMATERA, INDONESIA

The increase in the need for animal-based food consumption creates opportunities in the development of cattle farming in the future. But the problems in the field are a decrease in livestock productivity such as a decrease in livestock population and a decrease in livestock body weight, this is due to the lack of availability of sustainable animal feed. The solution offered is to use food crop waste as an alternative feed for livestock, so it is necessary to analyze the carrying capacity of food crop waste in an area. The purpose of this research is to analyze the potential resources of beef cattle feed based on food plant waste in West Sumatra Province and to analyze the nutritional content of food plant waste. The research was conducted in West Sumatra Province in January 2021. The method used was literature study and secondary data analysis. The data required consists of: (1) food crop production data, (2) beef cattle population data in West Sumatra Province. Data were analyzed by analyzing the carrying capacity of food plant waste. The results showed the availability of feed in West Sumatra Province 728,195.32 tonnes BKC / year, while the current total feed requirement is only 410,159.32 tonnes BKC / year. This shows the large potential for feed that has not been utilized, and this means that there is a large opportunity for Prov. West Sumatra in the future development of ruminants. The carrying capacity index of food plant waste (IDD) is 2.37, which means that it has a safe status where food plant waste is able to help support the needs of animal feed in West Sumatra Province. To increase the nutritional value of food plant waste, it can be overcome by giving a touch of waste processing technology innovations such as fermentation, silage, or ammonia. The results of this study are important as recommendations for the government regarding the sources of information on areas that have the potential to develop livestock business, which can be seen from the status of the area’s carrying capacity index or the potential availability of abundant animal feed.

Performance of Islamic Boarding Schools in developing the beef cattle agribusiness partnership network as a community empowerment institution in Central Java

A study had been conducted to evaluate the performance of Islamic Boarding Schools (IBS) in developing the beef cattle agribusiness partnerships network in Central Java. This study involved 24 IBS with each IBS selected two respondents, namely one from internal (santri) and one from external (farmer community). Sample determination uses purposive sampling method. This study uses Gap Analysis by determining the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) value. Primary data were collected through direct observation and interviews with respondents. Secondary data was obtained from relevant government institutions. The results showed that the beef cattle agribusiness partnership network that was developed by IBS still did not satisfy for santries and farmer communities (CSI.s.total : 30.73% and CSI.f.total : 47.05%). It was concluded that farmer communities were very enthusiastic about establishing the beef cattle agribusiness partnerships with IBS; the santries needed additional livestock curriculums; IBS needed training and assistance from the other parties (government, private sector, etc.) in order to improve the ability to raise beef cattle and the ability to train, instruct and plan the beef cattle farming development in surrounding area. Increasing the ability of IBS automatically can increase the effectiveness of IBS role as an empowerment institution for surrounding community.

Land resource and source of manpower strongly supported the development of cattle farming with the ownership of 2-4 head/family, both the cows and the bull are very economical, effective and efficient in those business so that would benefit to the farmers group.

A Spatio-temporal Model of African Animal Trypanosomosis Risk.

BackgroundAfrican animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is a major constraint to sustainable development of cattle farming in sub-Saharan Africa. The habitat of the tsetse fly vector is increasingly fragmented owing to demographic pressure and shifts in climate, which leads to heterogeneous risk of cyclical transmission both in space and time. In Burkina Faso and Ghana, the most important vectors are riverine species, namely Glossina palpalis gambiensis and G. tachinoides, which are more resilient to human-induced changes than the savannah and forest species. Although many authors studied the distribution of AAT risk both in space and time, spatio-temporal models allowing predictions of it are lacking.Methodology/Principal FindingsWe used datasets generated by various projects, including two baseline surveys conducted in Burkina Faso and Ghana within PATTEC (Pan African Tsetse and Trypanosomosis Eradication Campaign) national initiatives. We computed the entomological inoculation rate (EIR) or tsetse challenge using a range of environmental data. The tsetse apparent density and their infection rate were separately estimated and subsequently combined to derive the EIR using a “one layer-one model” approach. The estimated EIR was then projected into suitable habitat. This risk index was finally validated against data on bovine trypanosomosis. It allowed a good prediction of the parasitological status (r2 = 67%), showed a positive correlation but less predictive power with serological status (r2 = 22%) aggregated at the village level but was not related to the illness status (r2 = 2%).Conclusions/SignificanceThe presented spatio-temporal model provides a fine-scale picture of the dynamics of AAT risk in sub-humid areas of West Africa. The estimated EIR was high in the proximity of rivers during the dry season and more widespread during the rainy season. The present analysis is a first step in a broader framework for an efficient risk management of climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases.

Huellas y paisajes de la ganadería en el territorio uruguayo

The development of cattle farming has influenced and modeled the social and economic organization of Uruguay along history and has culturally acquired several expressions, including decisive evidence in the historical organization of its territory and the conformation of its rural landscape. The historic marks of cattle farming are key to understand the logics of land use planning and the natural-culturalconstruction of the Uruguayan landscape and have exerted great influence on the country’s internal policy organization, the division of land, the organization of roads and trails, its toponymy, etc. From the modifications of flora and fauna caused by the first introduction of cattle in the country, the conformation of the rural landscape of our territory has been linked to cattle farming, especially to the economic unit represented by the “estancia ganadera” (cattle farm). Its historic evolution delineated processes for land occupancy, holding and exploitation which lasted very long periods and with the so called “modernization of cattle farming” established the way and typology of rural architecture as well as forestry treatment and equipment which defined the predominant profile of rural areas in the country. The estate systems related to the industrialization of meat, which resulted from the productive situation of the country in the 70’s are also as significant, although their territorial dimension is much less. These industrial remains (unequally preserved, recognized and restored) require to be approached as cultural landscapes and demand the set up of their links with the territory and the productive chain. This approach focuses on recognizing and activating the most significant elements of this cultural heritage, integrating its management to cattle farming today and to sustainable strategies of local and regional productive development.
