Abstract

Cattle farming in Merauke Regency is still mostly simple, maintained semi-intensively and extensively. Most farmers keep livestock only as savings. Most still depend on nature, especially in the provision of feed, and leave livestock for days in the forest, this will have an impact on the health and productivity of livestock, and this is thought to be one of the causes of the high livestock mortality rate in Merauke Regency by mid-2024. The participation of all parties, including farmers, government and academics, is needed to prevent an increase in mortality due to the outbreak. The exact cause of the massive mortality is not yet known, so educational assistance is required by the community, especially farmers. The method used by the academics, in this case, lecturers and students, is to hold discussions with the farming community in one of the villages that has a large enough cattle population but has not paid attention to maintenance management. The discussion results became a reference for the academic team to develop a socialisation and training programme to solve the problems farmers face. The programme included the distribution of vitamins and dewormers, feed fermentation training, socialisation of manure processing into fertiliser and socialisation of cattle health assessment. The activities were carried out for 6 months, with monitoring and evaluation. The results of this service activity are, that the level of knowledge and understanding of farmers is increasing regarding the need for health care and the application of good management for livestock to increase productivity and reduce the negative impacts that can be caused. Another benefit is the improvement of skills in managing feed ingredients, thus reducing dependence on nature.

Abstract

Cattle breeders in Merauke are generally still on a traditional scale with low livestock productivity. The application of reproductive technology in the form of artificial insemination provides opportunities and hope for breeders to improve cattle quality. Currently, cattle breeding cannot be appropriately implemented due to the low availability of superior bulls. In addition, breeders prefer cattle offspring with the sex they desire (male or female), which has not been realised. Therefore, the purpose of community service for cattle breeders in Merauke is to implement research results in the form of semen sexing technology. The use of semen sexing can help breeders determine livestock goals. The extension method and application of artificial insemination using semen sexing was carried out by involving 4 groups of breeders in Merauke, with a total of 40 breeders. The results of the breeder's skills after participating in training and mentoring on estrus detection reached 83.07%. The application of artificial insemination using semen sexing received a response of 97.5% very satisfied, and 2.5% satisfied response. The success of AI reached 88.76%. The conclusion is that the implementation of artificial insemination has a positive and beneficial impact on cattle farming groups in Merauke.
