Abstract

Coffee Husks produced from coffee processing are waste that can be used as raw material for making organic fertilizer. Utilizing coffee Husks as organic fertilizer can increase added value and farmers' income while reducing the smell from piles of coffee Husk waste, which can pollute the environment. Development efforts to overcome this problem include processing coffee Husk waste into compost. In this service activity, partners will be introduced to and trained in the technology for making quality compost fertilizer and managing coffee farming businesses to provide added value and improve the farmer's economy. This service aims to increase the added value (value added) of coffee Husk waste as organic fertilizer in the Windu Sari Farming Group. The problems found in farmer groups are the problem of piles of coffee husk waste, which have not been appropriately handled, and the problem of technology for making compost fertilizer, which has not been fully understood by partners, as well as farming business management problems related to group strengthening. The method used in community service in Batukaang Village is the Participatory Action and Learning System (PALS). This method aims to make the partner group an object in service activities through various forms such as education, training, counseling, as well as coaching and mentoring. The PALS method is implemented in several stages: (1) awareness phase, (2) capacity building phase, mentoring phase, and (3) institutionalization phase. The results obtained from this service program are in the form of a technology package for making compost fertilizer. From the service that has been carried out in the form of counseling, training, and the practice of making organic fertilizer compost, the response from the community, in this case, the Windu Sari Farmers Group, has been excellent. The participants' enthusiasm was seen from the many questions submitted to the service team regarding compost-making technology and its benefits for agriculture.

Abstract

The province administration of Bali consistently promotes the formation of livestock farming communities, namely in goat farming, using housing and livestock aid initiatives. The "Subak Abian Pebunut" goat farming group in Catur Village, Kintamani District, Bangli, is among the recipients of government aid in goat farming. Despite its relatively short duration of operation, the group above needs support and instruction, particularly in maintenance management and feeding techniques. This is particularly relevant in effectively utilizing a substantial quantity of coffee waste via fermentation. The primary objective of this community service initiative is to modify the behavior of individuals within the group. Specifically, the focus is on enhancing their knowledge, abilities, and attitudes. It is important to note that the delivered content is derived from prior research studies. The approach employed in this community service initiative involves disseminating educational resources, followed by practical instruction on the fermentation of coffee skins. Additionally, trials and evaluations are conducted on goats to assess their growth and gauge their response to the practices above. The implementation of community service has yielded notable outcomes in knowledge acquisition, specifically in the discovery of the potential for fermenting coffee skins to produce animal feed of superior quality. In terms of actual implementation, the active involvement of all group members is ensured to facilitate the subsequent execution of the probiotic component blending and coffee skin fermentation procedures. In the context of trials and assessments, it was seen that the administration of fermented coffee skins to goats yielded notable outcomes in terms of their growth, as opposed to a control group of goats that did not get coffee skins. Based on the findings of this community service initiative, it can be inferred that the participants expressed satisfaction in acquiring knowledge and hands-on experience in producing fermented feed using coffee skins. Additionally, they observed the direct impact of feeding fermented coffee skins to livestock over one month, specifically examining the animals' response to consumption and its influence on the growth of goats.
