Abstract

The sustainability of livestock production systems is influenced by environmental, economic, and social conditions, as well as technological advancements. In Sumba, Indonesia, livestock is not only an economic asset but also a symbol of social status, integral to various traditional rituals. This study aimed to identify local livestock production systems and examine the role of culture in their sustainability across three agroecosystem zones: Kodi, Wewewa, and Loura. The research employed a structured survey methodology based on the Livestock On-Farm Trials method and involving 420 farmers. Results show that Sumba's livestock production systems apply an integrated crop- agro-pastoral, kaliwo agroforestry-livestock system, also rangeland-based, predominating in Loura. Socio-cultural aspects strongly influence livestock practices, with sources of capital stemming from agricultural revenues (dry-land and rice fields), kaliwo agroforestry, family inheritance, livestock barter, profit-sharing arrangements, and surplus animals from wedding dowries and other cultural ritual ceremonies. Feed resources are primarily derived from cultivated dry-land and kaliwo agroforestry. Livestock are primarily raised for cultural, ceremonial, and ritual purposes, including funerals, wedding dowries, and the pasola festival, as well as for income and education support. Preservation of local wisdom and socio-cultural values is crucial to advancing sustainable livestock production in Southwest Sumba.

Abstract

An effective animal feed extension program is expected to support the development of the livestock sector and improve farmers’ welfare. This study aims to analyze farmers’ knowledge of animal feed processing as an outcome of an extension program and to identify the constraints faced in adopting feed processing technologies. The research was conducted at the Putrayasa Livestock Farmer Group in Tenganan Village, Karangasem Regency, Bali, Indonesia. A census method was applied, involving all 54 group members as respondents. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive approaches. The results show that farmers’ knowledge of animal feed processing is in the high category, with an average score of 4.06. This indicates that the extension program has been effective in improving farmers’ understanding of feed processing technologies. However, the adoption of these technologies remains limited. The main constraints identified include the inconsistent implementation of processed feed and financial limitations among farmers. These findings suggest that although extension programs are successful in increasing knowledge, additional efforts are required to enhance practical skills and address economic barriers to improve the adoption of feed processing technologies.
