Abstract

Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease that remains a public health problem in East Nusa Tenggara Province, including Kupang City. Elementary school-aged children are a vulnerable group to bites from Rabies-Transmitting Animals (HPR) due to limited knowledge and risky behavior when interacting with animals. This community service activity aims to increase students' understanding and awareness of the dangers of rabies, its transmission, prevention, and first-aid steps after a bite through a learning-by-play approach. The activity was carried out in October 2025 at SDN Nunbaun Sabu, Kupang City, involving approximately 100 students. The methods used included interactive counseling, educational video screenings, educational games, and a 15-minute simulation of emergency wound washing using soap and running water. Evaluation was carried out through participatory observation and structured question-and-answer sessions. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' understanding of the dangers of rabies and basic preventive measures. The game-based educational approach has proven effective in conveying health messages and has the potential to shape children into rabies education agents within the family and community.

Abstract

Animal welfare is a fundamental aspect of modern livestock management that influences ethics, health, and productivity. The Field Laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Nusa Cendana, faces challenges regarding the limited supply of fresh forage, particularly during the dry season, which risks compromising animal welfare. This community service program aims to implement animal welfare- based livestock management by integrating corn stalk silage technology to ensure sustainable feed availability. The implementation method consisted of three main stages: (1) identification of animal welfare principle applications, (2) silage production training for students and barn staff, and (3) the provision of forage chopper machines. Results of this community service (PkM) program indicate that students and barn staff are now capable of independent silage production, supported by the use of chopper machines which significantly enhanced operational efficiency. In conclusion, this program successfully integrated feed technology solutions and the downstreaming of forage choppers with animal welfare standards to support sustainable livestock productivity.
