Abstract

Heat stress is a significant concern in dairy cattle production, even in high-altitude areas typically associated with cooler climates. This study investigated the temporal and spatial variations of the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI), air temperature, and relative humidity at a high-altitude dairy farm during the rainy season in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Environmental data were collected bi-hourly from 08:00 to 16:00 at three different locations: outside the pen, inside a pen equipped with fan ventilation, and inside a pen without fan ventilation. ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests revealed significant differences across both time and location. The highest THI levels were recorded outside the pen during midday (12:00–14:00), with a mean of 80.18 ± 3.76, compared to 76.17 ± 1.96 in the fan-ventilated pen and 74.96 ± 1.88 in the non-ventilated pen. Notably, there were no significant differences in THI between the two indoor environments, indicating that fan ventilation had limited effectiveness. All indoor THI values reflected moderate heat stress. Additionally, Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong negative correlation between temperature and humidity across all locations (r = -0.88 to -0.97; p < 0.05). These findings highlight the limitations of current ventilation systems and emphasize the urgent need for improved microclimate management strategies in high-altitude dairy farming.

Abstract

The Nuhayrun MSME in Nagari is a community-based enterprise that originated from the activities of the Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an (TPA) in Korong Patalangan, Padang Pariaman Regency. To enhance income and economic self-reliance among local residents, the enterprise has expanded its stingless bee (Galo-galo) farming into an agro-edutourism model. This community service program aims to increase the income of Nuhayrun MSME through improved production and optimized business management. The implemented methods include the addition of Heterotrigona itama and Trigona laeviceps colonies, cultivation of nectar-rich forage plants such as Calliandra and Clitoria ternatea, development of edutourism packages, human resource training, and optimization of digital promotional media. The results of the program indicate enhanced managerial awareness among partners, an increase in productive bee colonies, and the development of educational materials and promotional content that support the enterprise's image as an Islamic-based agro-edutourism center.

Abstract

The Forest Farmer Group of Puncak Labuang (FFGPL) manages a 194-hectare community forest in Limau Manis, Padang, contributing to the livelihood of community through agriculture and ecotourism. The forest productivity comes as high-value commodities such as durian, mangosteen, and coffee, as well as ecotourism activities like camping and hiking; all of which boost local economy while sustaining the surrounding environmental. Having diverse vegetation, the forest presents an opportunity for farming the stingless bee (galo-galo) as a promising innovative economic initiative. This program aligns with the program of West Sumatra Provincial Government to achieve position as production centre for honey. Some challenges such as low production of bee colonies appear from the lack of knowledge in farming techniques and insufficiency of food sources for colonies which hinder the progress. From June to December 2024, a community service program had been implemented to address these challenges. Activities included socialization, demonstrations, and training in bee farming techniques, supported by a team of experts. The education focused on the potential of galo-galo farming and strategies for marketing local products. Additionally, training sessions for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), along with honey product exhibitions, had successfully raised public awareness and improved the competitiveness of local products. As a result of this program, there was a notable improvement in community skills and knowledge, contributing to the sustainability of local economy and preservation of biodiversity. FFGPL has the potential to become a model for community empowerment based on natural resources, leading to significant improvements in community welfare.

Abstract

Subclinical mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the mammary gland without visible symptoms in dairy livestock. The subclinical mastitis should be detected periodically in every farm. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis in dairy goats on smallholder farms, followed by calculating the goat milk's total plate count (TPC) and pH value. Risk factors thought to cause subclinical mastitis on that farm are traditional livestock rearing techniques and land area that exceeds livestock capacity. The method used was a survey at a smallholder farm and laboratory analysis for the milk quality as a case study of a goat farm in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. The farm kept 118 goats from different breeds: Ettawa breeders, Sapera, Anglo Nubian, Anglo Sapera, and Anglo Saperaboer. Eighteen dairy goats were in the lactation period in June-July 2023. The results of subclinical mastitis examination of dairy goats were categorized as negative (-), positive 1 (+), positive 2 (++), and positive 3 (+++). The results showed that the prevalence of subclinical mastitis on that farm was 66.7%. Furthermore, milk TPC values (CFU/ml) were 3.1x105 (-), 5.6x106 (+), 9.9x106 (++), and 1.5x107 (+++). The pH values of the milk ranged from about 6.9 to 7.1. In conclusion, there was a high prevalence of subclinical mastitis on the farm. As such, the TPC and pH values were above the Indonesian National Standard for fresh milk quality.
