Abstract

This study aims to examine the characteristics of beef cattle farming, the motivation of Malay and Chinese ethnic farmers, and to identify the factors influencing their motivation. The research was conducted from March to December 2024 in Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province, where livestock farming has become an increasingly important livelihood. A total of 100 respondents were involved, consisting of 50 Malay and 50 Chinese beef cattle farmers. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling, with the inclusion criteria being beef cattle farmers of Malay and Chinese ethnicity who resided in Pangkalan Baru District and were actively engaged in beef cattle production. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The results show significant differences in business characteristics between the two ethnic groups, particularly in sources of finance, market access, and business orientation. Both Malay and Chinese farmers demonstrated high levels of motivation, driven by both economic and socio-cultural factors. The analysis revealed that cattle farming experience (p<0.05), cattle herd size (p<0.05), and ethnicity (p<0.01) significantly influenced farmer motivation. These findings highlight the role of ethnic background and farming experience in shaping farmers' motivation, which is essential for designing culturally sensitive livestock development strategies in the region.

Abstract

Rembang Regency has the fourth largest cattle population in Central Java Province. Cattle farming in Rembang Regency is mostly conducted by farmers and family farmers with 2 to 4 cattle. The objective of this study was to measure the reproductive performance, natural increase (NI), and population dynamics of cattle in Rembang District, Central Java. The study was conducted using a survey method by collecting data from 400 farmers and 1,275 cattle in five subdistricts in Rembang District. The results showed that the reproductive index value of cows was 0.77 head/year, the natural increase (NI) value was 55.06%, and the average growth of cattle in Rembang District from 2017 to 2022 was 2.81% per year. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the reproductive performance is quite good but there are still many cows with poor reproductive performance in the population and based on population dynamics data, it is concluded that many cattle transported out of Rembang Regency.

Abstract

Indonesia's annual beef consumption is experiencing a steady rise. In 2021, the per capita beef consumption amounted to 2.56 kg per person per year, resulting in a total of 696 million kilograms consumed across the country. This quantity is equivalent to the slaughtering of approximately 3.98 million cattle annually. With the increasing growth of the feedlot industry, cattle farmers, including feedlot operators, have the opportunity to enhance the value of agricultural companies in Indonesia by utilizing local feedstuffs. The objective of this study was to assess the suitability and nutritional value of indigenous feed sources for beef cattle in Indonesia. The research utilized feedstuff varieties and characteristics sourced from feedlots spanning since 2012-2021. The employed methodologies encompassed surveys, interviews, and questionnaires. This research involved the collection of both primary and secondary data. The potential and quality of local feedstuff were described using descriptive analysis. This research showed that eight types of local feedstuff could be categorized as energy sources including dehydrated cassava chips with a total digestible nutrients (TDN) value of 84.2% and bran pollard with a TDN value of 66.6%. The fiber sources consisted of corn cob (37.7% crude fiber), coffee husk (38% crude fiber), cocoa bean shell (20% crude fiber), tapioca solid waste/onggok (22% crude fiber), and palm kernel meal (22.1% crude fiber). The protein source consisted of copra meal with a protein content of 22.4%. The physical test most frequently inspected the feed color (18.1%) and odor (18.1%). Moisture examination (24%) was the most frequently used of proximate analysis was employed to identify the chemical composition. In conclusion the existence of eight local ingredients which were categorized into three different types: energy source, protein source, and fiber source commonly used in the concentrate formula for beef cattle feedlots in Indonesia.
