This community service activity aims to improve partners’ knowledge and skills in applying simple bookkeeping to layer chicken farming. The activity was carried out in several stages, namely preparation, socialization, training, and evaluation using pre-tests and post-tests to measure improvements in knowledge and skills. The partners in this activity were a Karang Taruna group consisting of 20 people. The activity was conducted through presentations and discussions on materials related to simple bookkeeping and practical exercises, including the analysis and preparation of simple bookkeeping records for layer chicken businesses, as well as case studies on calculating business costs and revenues, and interactive discussions. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement in the partners’ understanding and skills, with the average score increasing from 58% on the pre-test to 84% on the post-test. These improvements were evident in the areas of bookkeeping knowledge, livestock management techniques, transaction recording skills, and the ability to calculate maintenance costs. Overall, this community service initiative proved effective in enhancing livestock business management capacity through the implementation of simple bookkeeping, and has the potential to serve as a foundation for further mentoring aimed at fostering more independent and competitive livestock businesses.]]>
