Abstract

Embryo transfer (ET) is an advanced reproductive biotechnology widely promoted to accelerate genetic improvement and productivity of dairy cattle. However, the success of ET programs in tropical smallholder systems remains inconsistent due to the interaction of biological, environmental, and institutional factors. This study aimed to identify the determinants of ET success by integrating reproductive performance analysis with institutional implementation assessment in tropical dairy production systems. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining quantitative analysis of 200 recipient dairy cows with qualitative interviews involving farmers, technicians, and livestock officials in Pasuruan Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Binary logistic regression was employed to evaluate the influence of embryo characteristics, recipient conditions, environmental stress, disease history, and technician experience on pregnancy outcomes. The results showed that pregnancy rates ranged between 20 and 50%, with fresh embryos achieving higher success than frozen embryos. Logistic regression analysis indicated that technician experience significantly increased the probability of pregnancy (OR = 1.236; p < 0.05), highlighting the critical role of technical capacity in ET implementation. Other factors, such as embryo quality, body condition score, parity, and heat stress, showed variable but statistically nonsignificant effects. Qualitative findings further revealed that limited technical human resources, inconsistent monitoring systems, and weak institutional coordination constrained program effectiveness. These findings demonstrate that ET success in tropical dairy systems is shaped not only by reproductive biology but also by institutional and managerial conditions. Strengthening technical capacity, improving reproductive management, and integrating ET programs into regional livestock innovation systems are essential to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of reproductive biotechnology in developing dairy sectors.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis implementasi etika pelayanan publik serta mengidentifikasi tantangan tata kelola pemerintahan desa melalui pendekatan konfiguratif. Fokus kajian diarahkan pada penerapan prinsip equality, loyalty, dan responsibility dalam praktik pelayanan administrasi desa. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi untuk memperoleh pemahaman komprehensif mengenai dinamika etika pelayanan di tingkat desa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga prinsip etika telah diimplementasikan secara normatif dan prosedural, tercermin dalam pelayanan formal yang tidak diskriminatif, kepatuhan aparatur terhadap regulasi, serta responsivitas dalam penyelesaian administrasi. Namun demikian, implementasi tersebut dipengaruhi oleh keterbatasan kapasitas sumber daya manusia, beban kerja administratif, serta relasi sosial komunitarian yang membentuk ruang diskresi aparatur. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa etika pelayanan publik di tingkat desa bukan hanya persoalan integritas individual, melainkan hasil interaksi antara budaya sosial lokal, diskresi aparatur, dan desain kelembagaan. Penelitian ini berkontribusi melalui perumusan model konfiguratif etika pelayanan desa yang memperkuat pemahaman mengenai hubungan antara nilai etis dan kualitas tata kelola pemerintahan lokal.
