Abstract

Ashar Farm is a goat farming business in Balai Cacang Village, North Payakumbuh District, Payakumbuh City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. It was established in 2020 with a starting population of 30 goats. An intensive maintenance system has been applied. The condition of the farm is currently experiencing a population decline; as many as 17 goats are kept. The population decline is due to a lack of appetite for livestock, resulting in death. So far, the farmer provides only forage without adding appetite-enhancing supplements such as vitamin B complex as animal feeding. It assumes that there needs to be more nutrition for the goats. On the other hand, a Vitamin B complex can increase livestock productivity—the community engagement activity aimed to provide knowledge and skills of breeders about administering Vitamin B complex. The method of this activity was carried out by socialization and demonstrations using the Vitamin B complex as an additive in feed. As a result of this activity, Ashar Farm farmers gain new knowledge to overcome the lack of appetite for livestock and how to inject vitamin B complex into the goats so that their livestock business can be more productive.

Abstract

One of the Muda Mandiri farmer groups located in Nagari Sungai Pua, Sungai Pua District, has 30 Peranakan Etawa goats, and this farmer group consists of 11 farmers. This group is one of the highly developed dairy goat farming businesses in Agam Regency. This community service activity aims to apply fermented tithonia technology as an alternative forage feed for ruminants to improve the feed efficiency of dairy goats. The activity method consists of several steps. First, farmer groups were taught about how to manage forage feed and the benefits of thitonia fermentation. Second, they learned the fermentation process, which starts with chopping tithonia, mixing it with inoculum (L. bulgaricus), adding molasses, and mixing it with bran. This mixture was kept in a container without air exposure for fourteen days. Third, the fermented product was tested directly as feed for dairy goats to determine how palatable it was and how much it impacted milk production. Important results showed that although milk production was almost the same as the previous feed using field grass, fermented tithonia could replace up to 30% of field grass. The farmer does not need to search for grass daily, as time and effort are spent more efficiently providing feed. In conclusion, fermented tithonia is an effective and easy-to-implement technology to help dairy goat farmers obtain a more efficient alternative feed, which eases their workload.

Abstract

The diversification of goat milk products through flavor innovation is a strategic approach to enhancing the competitiveness of local livestock commodities, especially in response to increasing market competition. Goat milk holds significant potential as a premium dairy product; however, its market penetration remains limited due to its distinctive taste and lower consumer familiarity than cow’s milk. Introducing innovative and appealing flavor variants represents a promising solution to improve consumer acceptance and broaden market reach. This community service initiative focuses on developing market-oriented goat milk products in collaboration with local farmers at Andaleh Farm, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. The program aims to strengthen farmers’ capacity in product innovation and value-added processing by providing training and technical assistance. The expected outcomes include increased product diversity, improved product quality, and enhanced branding strategies. Ultimately, this initiative seeks to stimulate local economic growth by opening new market opportunities, increasing farmer income, and positioning goat milk as a viable and competitive local product within the regional dairy industry.
