Abstract

Rising feed costs and the growing need for sustainable feed resources highlight the importance of utilising locally available ingredients such as seaweed and rejected fish. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of the Saiyo Sakato Farmer Group through the innovative use of feed containing Turbinaria murayana seaweed and rejected fish meal, thereby improving the productivity of KUB chickens and reducing feeding costs. The program was implemented in the Saiyo Sakato Farmer Group, Nagari Kambang Barat, Pesisir Selatan Regency, through a series of counselling sessions, hands-on training, and continuous mentoring. The activities included education on KUB chicken management, training on the production of rejected-fish meal, and formulation of rations containing Turbinaria murayana seaweed meal and rejected-fish meal. The results showed significant improvements in the knowledge and skills of group members in utilising Turbinaria murayana and rejected fish as feed ingredients for KUB chickens. The program successfully strengthened farmers’ competencies in adopting low-cost local feed resources, which were more economical than commercial feed, costing only IDR 6,400–7,200 per kilogram. The use of this alternative feed resulted in a 40–46% reduction in feeding costs compared to commercial feed. It improved the productive performance of KUB chickens, achieving an average body weight of 500 g per bird at four weeks of age, a weight gain of 465 g per bird, and 0% mortality.

Abstract

This community empowerment program aimed to enhance the self-reliance and technical skills of the Serumpun Livestock Group in producing pellet-formulated rations for KUB chickens using locally available feed ingredients, including Turbinaria murayana seaweed, rice bran, corn, rejected fish meal, and soybean meal. The activities were carried out in the Serumpun Livestock Group located in Nagari Painan Selatan, Pesisir Selatan Regency, involving 20 group members through extension activities, training sessions, hands-on ration formulation practices, feeding trials, and intensive mentoring in pellet feed production for market distribution. The results demonstrated that farmers successfully acquired knowledge and practical skills in ration formulation, raw material preparation, homogeneous mixing, and the operation of feed mixers and pelleting machines. Locally based rations could be produced at a lower cost (Rp 7,500/kg) compared to commercial feeds, while still meeting the nutritional requirements of KUB chickens at various growth phases. Furthermore, the group was able to produce and market pellet feed in 2-kg packages at an affordable price (Rp. 15,000 per package) for internal group members and the surrounding community. This program improved business efficiency, strengthened feed self-sufficiency, and contributed to increasing farmers’ income.
