Abstract

The maintenance of beef cattle in Indonesia is mainly carried out by smallholder farmers, so to meet national demand, the beef cattle population needs to increase. While the government-initiated programs to increase e cattle population are many, studies to analyze smallholder farmers’ interest in improving their cattle size remain limited. This study aims to analyze factors influencing the interests of smallholder farmers in improving their beef cattle business. The variables were farmers’ age, gender, education level, family size, land ownership, beef cattle ownership, monthly income level, and cattle breed. The potential obstacles farmers faced to increasing their beef cattle business were investigated. Conducted in Blora, Grobogan, Kebumen, Klaten, and Rembang Regencies, Central Java Province, this study purposively selected 287 beef cattle farmers aged 15-24 years as study respondents. The collected data were then subjected to binary logistic regression analysis using Stata 16. The findings showed that farmers’ motivation to increase the population of cattle they raised was influenced by their age and monthly income. The older the farmers, the less probable they were interested in improving their business. Farmers earning >IDR 1,000,000.00-3,000,000.00 per month showed a probability of interest in increasing their business by growing the beef cattle population.

Abstract

Objective: 1) To identify priority areas with Ciamis Regency that have comparative and competitive advantages 2) Availability of forages in prime priority areas.Methods: The material used cattle population data from BPS Ciamis Regency from 2016–2020. Panel data, which combines secondary data and cross-section data, were employed in this study. First, data analysis uses LQ and shift-share analysis, and two, it uses the carrying capacity of forage availability and the carrying capacity index.Results: Regional economic research results show that six sub-districts provide a comparative and competitive basis for superior commodities, namely Banjarsari, Lakbok, Cijeunjing, Cisaga, Rajadesa, and Baregbeg. These five sub-districts (Cimaragas, Sukadana, Panjalu, Panumbangan, and Sindangkasih) cannot be a base for cattle commodities but can be used as a base for other livestock. The study's findings indicate that forage is available, and the carrying capacity index forage availability has an IDD value of>2 SAFE. The Ciamis Regency has a secure green supply for expanding herds of beef cattle and can even export to other areas.Conclusions: The local government of Ciamis Regency must consider these six sub-districts an excellent commodity base, comparatively and competitively, with the carrying capacity of forage in safe conditions. The local government of Ciamis Regency must increase the number of livestock populations not only in production but also start opening up potential and conservative land for the development of grass cultivation, for example, by utilizing forest land for grass cultivation.

Abstract

Kemandirian menjadi isu penting bagi komunitas peternak di Indonesia. Dalam hal ini akan dibahas dalam kasus proses peningkatan produksi susu berkualitas dan pengembangan peternakan sapi perah di Indonesia. Produksi susu dalam negeri di Indonesia masih belum memenuhi jumlah permintaan pasar hingga, hal ini mengakibatkan ketergantungan atas impor susu masih cukup tinggi. Oleh karena itu, tuntutan Industri Pengolahan Susu (IPS) mengharuskan peternak untuk meningkatkan produksi dan juga kualitas susu yang dihasilkan menjadi tema penting dalam pembahasan dan analisis penelitian ini. Fokus perhatian dalam penelitian menekankan pada isu kemandirian peternak. Penelitian ini akan menganalisis berdasarkan indikator pengambilan keputusan, kreativitas dan solusi pemecahan masalah. Secara khusus, penelitian ini menganalisis tingkat kemandirian peternak anggota koperasi dan mengetahui faktor-faktor yang kemandirian peternak. Penelitian menggunakan metode survey dengan jumlah sampel 52 peternak anggota Koperasi Susu Warga Mulya. Kemandirian peternak dianalisis dengan menggunakan skor, sementara untuk mengetahui pengaruh umur, pendidikan, kepemilikan betina produktif dan pengalaman beternak terhadap kemandirian peternak sapi perah dilakukan uji regresi. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa peternak yang tergabung dalam Koperasi Susu Warga Mulya mayoritas memiliki kemandirian dalam kategori sedang. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, dapat dijelaskan bahwa peternak memiliki kemandirian yang cukup dalam menjalankan usahanya. Meskipun demikian, peternak masih memiliki kendala besar terkait pengambilan keputusan penetapan harga jual susu. Hal ini dikarenakan peternak tidak memiliki kemandirian untuk menentukan harga jual susu.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the farmers' willingness in adopting local feed innovation and to analyze its background factors. This study involved 106 cattle farmers who lived in Arjowilangun and Kucur villages of Malang Regency, East Java. Data were collected from respondents through personal interviews with structured questionnaires. This study also used descriptive statistical analysis and Probit regression as the methods. The research results showed that most of the farmers were willing to partially adopt local feed innovation. Social and economic factors that statistically gave significant influence on the farmers' willingness in adopting the local feed innovation are age, the number of cattle, cattle agribusiness type, membership in a farmer's group, and the perception towards the cattle farming conditions. Age and the number of cattle negatively affect the farmers' willingness while membership in a farmer's group and perception towards the cattle farming conditions has a positive effect on the farmers' willingness in adopting local feed innovation. Farmers who are running the cattle fattening business have larger probabilities to reject the local feed innovation. Furthermore, optimizing coaching and assisting activities through the farmer's group can be an effective way to increase the farmers' willingness to entirely adopt the local feed innovations.

Abstract

The application of Geographic Information System (GIS) in animal husbandry incorporates data on grazing variation and excretion behavior in ruminant species, information on various forms of land use, grasslands, and grazing management with agropastoral systems. This study aimed to 1) identify, inventory, and map land parameters from geographical conditions; 2) determine potential base areas for beef cattle development businesses in West Java Province; and 3) calculate the potential availability of forage feed from agricultural waste. This research was conducted from July 2020 to August 2021 in four districts in West Java Province, namely Cirebon, Majalengka, Indramayu, and Ciamis. Secondary data from 2016 until 2020, were taken by the Central Bureau of Statistics of each region. Data analysis includes 1) land cover mapping supported by (GIS), 2) air temperature and air humidity index (THI) suitable for beef cattle, and 3) agricultural waste carrying capacity (CC) and carrying capacity index (IK) for beef cattle. The results of land cover mapping show that shrubs, forests, and fallow land in the four districts can be used for fodder grass cultivation. In contrast, paddy fields, rainfed rice fields, and drylands produce agricultural waste as a source of fodder forage. THI values of 79.69 - 83.08 are suitable for beef cattle development. Based on the results of inventory and mapping conducted by CCI, it can be concluded that 30 sub-districts from four districts in West Java Province are potential areas for beef cattle development. CC agricultural waste can increase the availability of forage feed for cattle.

Abstract

The success of local development depends on a leadership that is able to transform and collaborate with society in order to optimize its potential. In practice, success programs often do not continue due to regional heads change. Differences in vision or political backgrounds could disrupt the leadership transfer process and policy sustainability. Banjarbaru city can be an example of how leadership transitions from regional head with a bureaucrat background to regional head with a politician background. This research aims to understand the implications of differences in political background on the leadership models used by regional heads. Qualitative methods are used in this research, with regional heads as the research object. The results of the study found that differences in political backgrounds do not necessarily mean that the leadership models used are completely different. The model is more influenced by situational conditions in the region. Thus, it can be concluded that political background becomes social capital that can support the achievement of political interests and provide color to the leadership model they choose.

Abstract

The implementation of government policies that align with the need to increase dairy productivity in Indonesia is crucial. Ensuring policy compatibility with the dairy sector's needs requires setting priorities through a direct, participatory, and bottom-up approach involving dairy sector stakeholders. This study aims to identify priority development programs for dairy farming businesses within the framework of government policies that align with the real needs of dairy sector stakeholders. A quantitative approach was used, employing the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) pairwise comparison method. Dairy productivity was set as the main goal, assessed through three key criteria: capital, dairy farming infrastructure, and the quality of human resources. The evaluated alternatives included the use of information technology, livestock seed grants, mentoring, institutional support, government policies, and supply chain improvements. Data were collected via questionnaires from seven key informants representing dairy farmers, policymakers from the Department of Agriculture, Food, and Fisheries, Sleman Regency, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), dairy farmer associations, academics, researchers, and the dairy processing industry. The research was conducted in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and Central Java Province in August 2024. The findings indicate that mentoring is the most prioritized government policy program among dairy farmers, with a relative weight of 0.242. Additionally, the quality of human resources emerged as the most critical criterion for dairy sector stakeholders, with a relative weight of 1.000. These results highlight that improving the quality and education level of human resources in the dairy sector is a key factor in enhancing dairy productivity. The findings suggest that government programs should focus more on long term, farmer centered mentoring strategies, supported by consistent policy implementation, qualified facilitators, and collaboration with cooperatives and educational institutions to ensure sustainable dairy sector development.

Abstract

The lowland area of Indonesia has economic potential to develop as a major centre for dairy farming businesses. Still, there is a foremost matter: overheated irradiation immersed in damped air would increase the heat stress level. The present study was conducted to assess the heat stress tolerance level of lowland Indonesian Holstein cows, characterized by a dominant level of Black and White (B/W) pigmented skin coat. This study involved 34 heads of Holstein cows that were cared for in Eastern Jakarta. Breathing frequency (BF), rectum's warmth (RW), pulse rate (PL), white-skinned spot temperature (WSST), black-skinned spot temperature (BSST), average temperature rounded skin (ATRS), back region temperature (BRT), chest region temperature (CRT), upper-leg temperature (ULT), lower-leg temperature (LLT), skin's temperature (ST), body's temperature (BT), and heat tolerance coefficient (HTC) as variables were checked statistically with R 4.4.2 type software comprised correlation and independent t-test. Cows B/W classification performed with the imageJ 1.54g series program. Those analyses showed that most lowland Indonesian Holsteins were characterized by black-pigmented dominant cows (BDC). The pigmentation of both lateral sides of the body generated a significant correlation (p<0.05 and p<0.01) with several vital symptoms, including WSST, ATRS, ST, BT, and HTC, but only in the BDC Holstein class. The test of mean distinction between the two classes (BDC and WDC) produced statistically insignificant differences (p>0.05) in all measurable vital symptoms; all variables showed trends indicating that the BDC class had a greater response to heat stress. The BDC Holstein type selection base had high expectations of elevating the HTC score in Indonesian lowland cows, as the closing decision.
