Abstract

Biochar is a material rich in carbon with the physical characteristics of porous biochar morphology. Biochar has the ability to retain nutrients and water, increase microbial life in the soil and overall increase soil fertility. Animal waste that often pollutes the environment can be converted into biochar through incomplete combustion to produce biochar charcoal which can be used to improve nutrient-poor agricultural soils. This service is carried out at the Satwa Winangun livestock farmer group, Tangkas Village, Klungkung Regency which takes place from May to July 2021. This PKM activity aims to increase the understanding and skills of partners to innovate in processing livestock waste into biochar. The method used to achieve this goal is through training, mentoring, and technology transfer with direct practice in the field. The transfer of technology for making biochar from animal waste received a good response from the trainees, especially because they had never made biochar. Through group strengthening and technology transfer with the PKM program, the trainees have been able to practice directly the process of making biochar and producing biochar fertilizer products that are ready to be applied to agricultural land.

Abstract

The provincial government of Bali has continuously encouraged livestock farming communities to form livestock groups especially the cows, through the Simantri program since 2009/2010 and is now known as Sipadu. In addition to this program, livestock groups are also formed independently by livestock farmers spread across Bali, one of which is the “Sato Luwih” livestock group in Kendran Village, Tegalalang-Gianyar, which requires guidance and assistance in empowering the resources they have, namely livestock and waste produced. The livestock group in Kendran village was only formed in early 2020, where its members have different abilities in raising livestock, both experienced and just starting to learn to raise livestock. Besides that, the existing resources in the form of cattle waste have not been utilized, on the one hand the waste still has the potential to increase group income if it is processed into organic compost. The problems faced by the group and group members are the lack of knowledge in the management of animal feed using rice straw, knowledge of technology for processing cow dung, both faeces and urine into organic fertilizer, and lack of understanding of the use of organic compost fertilizer in the farming system. Therefore, through PKM activities, it is necessary to provide assistance and transfer of applied technology to group members, so that the utilization of their resources can be utilized optimally. The methods used in this PKM activity are: observation and group discussion, counseling, and field practice. Group discussions were carried out by involving group administrators to determine the provision of activity materials and implementation schedules. Counseling was given to all group members about making fermented straw feed and making organic cow manure. While the practice is carried out directly by group members, and the results have been evaluated. The results of the PKM show that group members have been able to make fermented straw as animal feed and utilize livestock dung waste into organic fertilizer, so as to maintain the cleanliness of the cage environment. From this PKM activity, it can be concluded that there has been a change in the behavior of group members, namely knowledge and skills, while changes in attitude still need to be carried out by field observations.
