Abstract

Ruminant productivity is influenced by the quality and quantity of forage. Forage plant that is prospectively developed is Indigofera which has advantages such as high nutrient content, low crude fiber, being able to live in dry areas, and low anti-nutrient. However, as an innovation, adoption, cultivation, and utilization in a sustainable manner depend on several factors. This study was aimed to investigate the potential adoption of Indigofera forage in West Manggarai Regency with a focus on the factors that influence adoption. Data were collected through observations, individual interviews, Focus Group Discussions and study of documents. The number of respondent’s farmers was 59 from seven villages in five sub-districts. The results showed that in terms of the respondent’s characteristic factors, 96.61% were in the productive age, 94.7% had a formal education background, a sufficient number of a household member and a good perception of the Indigofera. From the socioeconomic condition factor, there are introductions of innovations through different patterns involving different actors with different results which can be used as an introduction model. From the characteristic factor, Indigofera forage has higher nutritional content compared to other popular forages, easy to live in the dry land, the process of breeding and cultivation is not difficult for the profession of farmers and has proven the results of development in other regions in Indonesia. Based on the facts and analysis, it was concluded that the Indigofera plant has the potential to be widely adopted and used by farmers in the West Manggarai Regency.

For this analysis, vaccination costs per dog included relatedcomponents on campaign organization, public awareness efforts, transport and biological and materialcosts. The economic losses due to the culling and vaccination program in dogs wes about Rp 5,3 and Rp 7billion per year, respectively.

Abstract

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a disease in pigs of all ages caused by a virus from the Asfar virus family, and the virus is classified as an economically important pathogen group. This disease has caused the death of pigs in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province including Kupang Regency. The spread of ASF disease can occur when the animal health management is poor. Little was known about the health management of pigs in the district of Kupang. Therefore, this study was aimed to identify factors of health management which potentially affect the spread of ASF in the district of Kupang. This research was conducted in two selected sub-districts in Kupang Regency, namely East Kupang District and Amabi Oefeto District. The selection of these sub-districts was based on the results of discussions with the Head of the Livestock Service Office of Kupang Regency, where these two sub-districts became centers of pig production. The results showed that the health management of pigs in the selected sub-districts of Kupang Regency was still very poor among vehicle and people traffic control, disease control, livestock waste, sanitation and disinfection, pest control, pig traffic, pig marketing, health status and ASF, disposal system pig carcasses, and contact between pigs.
