Mekanisme Kemitraan dan Determinan Pemilihan Pola Kemitraan Usahaternak Ayam Broiler di Kabupaten Sukabumi, Provinsi Jawa Barat

The broiler industry is the livestock industry with the highest development compared to other livestock industries. The structure of the broiler industry, which is oligopoly in nature, causes the bargaining position of livestock companies, especially integrator companies, to be very large in determining input and output prices. In contrast with broiler breeders. Farmers face production risks, as well as input and output price risks. The partnership between livestock companies and breeders is one of the efforts to overcome the problems faced by breeders. The aims of this study were (1) to find out the mechanism of broiler farming partnerships, and (2) Analyze the determinants of selecting contract farming through the nucleus-plasma scheme (PIR) (PIR) or Makloon pattern. The research was located in Sukabumi Regency, which is a broiler production center in West Java Province. The research samples were PIR and Makloon breeders with 30 farmers each, who were PT. X (PIR pattern) and PT. Y (Macloon pattern). Data analysis using the Logit Model. The results of the study show that there are differences in the partnership mechanism between the PIR pattern and the Makloon pattern, especially the provision and cost of financing the main production facilities and operational costs, as well as the components of livestock business income. Livestock income and broiler chicken population are significant determinants in choosing a partnership pattern, but with different parameter signs, the PIR pattern is positive and the Makloon pattern is negative. This means that the higher the broiler livestock business income, the farmer tends to choose the PIR pattern, conversely if the livestock population is getting bigger, the breeder tends to choose the Makloon pattern

Abstract The success of agricultural development, especially in the field of animal husbandry through the cultivation of ruminant livestock of the goat type, is largely determined by the ability or capacity of its human resources. As agents of development, breeders should ideally have adequate knowledge and skills in managing livestock business. In fact, the condition of Human Resources (HR) in Indonesia currently does not meet the expected qualifications to form advanced livestock. Therefore, improving the quality of HR in all aspects is absolutely necessary. Improving the quality of HR includes aspects of mastery of knowledge, livestock skills, business management, and capital strengthening. It is no less important is the development of entrepreneurial character. To overcome these problems, current government policies are mostly directed at empowering livestock groups towards strong, sustainable, independent and solid livestock groups, not just groups that are just a formality. This is because livestock groups are formed by and for breeders, so it is hoped that through these livestock groups, breeders can access all resources, such as HR, Natural Resources (NR), capital, information, as well as facilities and infrastructure in developing a successful livestock business. worked on. Therefore, in addition to the need to explore the potential and comprehensive knowledge about the management of non-HR in the livestock business, managerial strengthening of livestock groups, especially for goat cultivating livestock groups, is also an instrument that is no less important. In fact, this is vital to be understood and applied optimally by livestock groups and socialized thoroughly to administrators and members, so that the livestock business that is managed becomes controlled and effective to be directed at the desired target or achievement.Keywords: Conceptualization, Managerial Strengthening, Cultivation, Ruminant Livestock.

How do local gender norms interact with local conceptualisations of empowerment to shape women’s engagement in local dairy value chains in Tanzania?

IntroductionWomen play important roles in the dairy sector in Tanzania yet many women face local gender norms which inhibit them from benefitting from their enterprises. This affects women’s empowerment and the development of effective livestock businesses.MethodsThis study addresses the question: How do women’s empowerment and gender norms affect women’s engagement in livestock business? To respond, this study explores how women attempt to negotiate gender norms in order to create a niche for their agribusiness, and thereby to empower themselves. Since gender norms are diverse, research was undertaken in 2021 with agripreneurs running dairy-related businesses in two regions of Tanzania. Gender-disaggregated focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and individual interviews were carried out in Kilimanjaro and Tanga regions which had been target sites for the bigger Maziwa Zaidi Phase II project in Tanzania. In total, 24 women dairy farmers, 25 men dairy farmers, 20 women agripreneurs and 22 men agripreneurs involved in selling feeds, milk collection and agro-veterinary goods and services such as artificial insemination and livestock extension participated in the FGDs. Twelve women and 16 men were interviewed as KIIs while 12 women and 15 men were interviewed individually.Results and DiscussionThe findings show that women agripreneurs are active in selling milk and earning an income, and a few women provide AI services. However, local gender norms significantly reduce potential gains. Normative sanctions are applied to women who are perceived to be moving beyond acceptable gender norms in their efforts to establish their dairy related livelihoods. Yet this picture is not uniform. The presence of traditionally more favorable local gender norms towards engagement in smallholder dairy related businesses allows women in the Kilimanjaro Region to openly exercise more decision-making power and secure more benefits compared to women in Tanga Region where local norms largely limited women’s engagement because dairying is a rather novel concept and was introduced in the 1990s as a men’s income generation enterprise.Our own findings indicate that local patriarchal contexts remain powerful in both study sites. However with sustained empowerment efforts, women and men fairly express an understanding of empowerment as a process, involving building capacity, supporting, creating an enabling environment for achieving of one’s goals. Women note that an empowered woman faces more barriers than an empowered man because if married, she has to consult with her husband prior to making big investments. Empowered men are however free to do as they like with their resources. Patriarchal norms guiding social ordering in Tanzania therefore place a cap on achievement as well as expression of empowerment by women. Moreover, through gender norms gatekeeping, significant relations such as husbands and community members can also act as empowerment gatekeepers reining in women’s expression and experience of empowerment, especially if her husband is economically disempowered while she is.

Juridical Analysis Of The Authority Of Quarantine Officers In Handling Illegal Importation Of Caws On Batam Island

Quarantine is a system of preventing the entry, exit, and spread of quarantined animal pests and diseases, as well as supervision and control of food safety and food quality, feed safety and feed quality, Genetic Engineering products, Genetic Resources, Biological Agents, Invasive Foreign Species, Wild Plants and Animals, and Rare Animals that are introduced into, spread from one area to another area, and removed from the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. To maintain, protect, and improve the quality of animal/livestock resources, animal/livestock health, animal welfare, and the provision of safe, healthy, whole, and halal (ASUH) food of animal origin, as well as maintaining peace or eliminating/preventing public unrest, it is necessary to provide guidance, regulation, control, and supervision of livestock businesses and animal health services. To create a conducive business climate and legal certainty in animal husbandry and animal health, it is necessary to regulate the mechanisms and procedures for licensing livestock and animal health businesses in the regions. The problem faced by the Batam Class I Agricultural Quarantine Center is caused by cows entering Batam Island that do not have an entry permit and are not by Law Number 21 of 2019, which states that every entry or release must be carried out through a designated Place of Entry and Place of Expenditure.

Pollutant Burden on Pollution Sources in the Wai Batu Merah Watershed, Sirimau District, Ambon City

This study aims to identify sources of pollution and determine the magnitude of the potential pollution load from pollutant sources in the Wai Batu Merah watershed, Sirimau District, Ambon City. The method for identifying sources of pollution is carried out by using saturated or census sampling methods, calculating pollutant loads using direct methods for point source pollutant sources and indirect methods for non-point sources . The direct calculation method uses wastewater discharge data and the results of wastewater quality analysis results from measurements directly at the point source pollutant wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The wastewater sampling technique uses the grab sampling method. While the indirect method uses effluent factors and supporting data from non-point source pollution sources that have been identified in the Wai Batu Merah watershed. The results showed that the pollutant sources found in the Wai Batu Merah watershed were point sources originating from hotel and health facility activities and non-point sources originating from domestic activities from residential areas, agricultural and livestock businesses, non-point source land (forest and open land), micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), small scale industries and waste. The dominant pollutant source in the Wai Batu Merah watershed comes from domestic non-point sources. The highest point source pollution loads for BOD, COD and TSS parameters in the Wai Batu Merah watershed came from hotel activities in segment 6 with the contribution of each parameter of 17.82 kg/day, 23.82 kg/day and 0.029 kg/day. Meanwhile, the highest non-point source pollution load for BOD, COD and TSS parameters came from non-point source waste in segment 6 with the contribution of each parameter of 2825.3 kg/day, 3884.8 kg/day and 2684.03 kg/day.

Peningkatan Produktifitas Usaha Peternakan Kambing melalui Perbaikan Manajemen Usaha

The majority of goat livestock businesses are managed by the transmigration community as a side business. The impact that occurs is that the management of the business that is being carried out is not optimal both institutionally, marketing and housing. This of course will affect production and business productivity. Goat livestock business managed by breeders is still small-scale and imbreading occurs. On the other hand, the marketing process carried out only relied on personal communication within the scope of the village itself. The approach to the activities carried out is direct counseling to breeders as well as providing goat seeds and cage rehabilitation.

The Effect of Tamarind Seeds in Fermented Liquid Feed as Pig Feed on Nutrient and Tannin Content, Lactic Acid Bacteria Population, and Fiber Fraction

Feed is the biggest cost in the pig livestock business, therefore it is necessary to do processing using fermentation technology by utilizing tamarind seeds in the liquid feed. This study aimed to determine the nutrient, tannins, and populations of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), and fiber fraction. This study was undertaken in May-July 2021. The study consisted of 4 treatments, namely; R0: Fermented liquid feed (FLF) of 0% tamarind seeds, R10: FLF of 10% tamarind seeds, R20: FLF of 20% tamarind seeds, and R30: FLF of 30% tamarind seeds. This study was conducted on the experimental design using a Completely Randomized Designed (CRD). The study variables were nutrient content, tannin, LAB population, and fiber fraction. The results were analyzed quantitatively using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and the differences between treatments were further tested by DMRT. The results showed that the percentage of using tamarind seeds in a ratio up to 30% had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on the nutrient content (dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract (NFE), crude fat, and ash), anti-nutrient (tannin), fiber fraction (NDF, ADF, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), but did not affect (P>0.05) the population of lactic acid bacteria. In conclusion, the use of tamarind seeds up to 30% in liquid feed increases nutrient content (dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, nitrogen-free extract (NFE), and ash), anti-nutrient (tannin), and fiber fraction content (NDF, ADF, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), but was able to reduce the crude fat content and had no impact on the population of lactic acid bacteria.
