Abstract

The cow farmer in Padang was changed from semi-intensive to intensive because of city development. The intensive system requires farmers to be forage feeding cut and carried from field margins. The limited knowledge of smallholder farmers about the high quality of forage causes native grass to become the primary source of forage; meanwhile, the low nutrient content of native grass causes the low production and reproduction in cows. To overcome the adequacy of feed forage, both in quality and quantity, thus cultivation of forage was conducted on unproductive land such as peatlands. Generally, peatland with a shallow category and low pH is widespread on the coast of Padang city. Sorghum is tolerant to acid soil and can be the solution to overcome forage feeding in the dry season. The community service activities were carried out from October 2021 until January 2022 and aimed to increase farmers' knowledge in feed diversification and skills in cultivating sorghum as a superior feed crop. The activities were conducted using counselling and discussion methods and the practice of sorghum cultivation on peatlands. Results showed that cow farmers know the importance of providing quality sustainable forage to increase livestock productivity, especially brood cows. The conclusion is that sorghum can be a substitute for native grass and as a concentrate; hence it can be an alternative solution to the problem of supplying feeding in Padang city.

Abstract

Jorong Rimbo Janduang is located in Nagari Lingkuang Aua, Pasaman District, West Pasaman Regency. The main livelihoods of the local people are gardeners and traders. There are many types of plant vegetation in Jorong Rimbo Janduang, some of which can be the main source of food for bees, but the community around the location has not cultivated stingless bees (galo-galo). Raising gallo-galo is different from raising cows, goats, and chickens because we do not need to look for food every day, as long as there are lots of bee-feeding plants growing around it. The success of gallo-galo cultivation is 70-80% influenced by the availability of feed sources in the form of nectar, pollen, and resin obtained from forage plant vegetation around the cultivation site. This community engagement activity aims to increase the knowledge and the desire of the community for stingless bee farming, increase the vegetation of forage plants around the location for beekeeping, and improve the community's economy. The methods used were counseling, mentoring, training, and modeling. The method of implementing science and technology is carried out by applying several technologies according to the objectives of these social services.

Abstract

The low productivity of smallholder dairy cattle in Indonesia is due to limited capital and feed management. Limited land ownership, resulting in feeding from low-quality natural grasses and agricultural waste, limits milk production. Farmers rely on expensive commercial concentrate feed to improve feed quality. Efforts to improve productivity and milk quality on smallholder farms include utilizing low-cost, high-nutrient forages. Legume forages have the potential to replace commercial concentrates in dairy cow rations because they contain high crude protein (CP) and can increase livestock productivity. Using legumes as a substitute for commercial concentrates can reduce milk production costs by up to 20%. In Indonesia, the most widely cultivated legume crop is Gliricidia. Harapan Makmur Farmer Group is one of the few dairy cattle groups established in Padang City in 2011. The problem of the dairy cattle business is the high feed price, some of which comes from commercial feed. The activity method uses counseling, discussion, and the practice of making sweet corn silage mixed with Gliricidia. These activities concluded that farmers were utilizing forage from legumes to substitute commercial concentrates, and they were skilled in processing corn straw waste from sweet corn cultivation and Gliricidia into silage.

Abstract

The Etawa Dairy Goat Farming Program is one of the Economic Sector programs of UPZ BAZNAS PT Semen Padang by distributing a grant of 42 Etawa crossbred goats (ECG) to seven underprivileged Heads of Families (KK). UPZ BAZNAS PT Semen Padang chose dairy goats because they have high economic potential. Challenges in raising dairy goats include feed management, livestock health, and poor maintenance techniques. The dairy goat maintenance system in the community is traditional. Poor feed quality impacts production, reproduction, and livestock health. To make the dairy goat grant effective, assistance is needed to guide farmers on feed, health, and maintenance so that goat farming can benefit farmers and become a family business unit. The Faculty of Animal Science Service Team and students of the Animal Science Study Program at Universitas Andalas carry out community service activities from July to November 2024. The community service activities method includes surveys, counseling, and activity evaluation. After the community service activities, improvements were seen in feed management, and farmers became skilled at handling scabies in livestock. Based on the community service activities that have been carried out, it can be concluded that farmers' knowledge about dairy goat maintenance management has increased. Farmers are skilled at treating scabies with traditional medicine because it is effective and more economical.

Abstract

Community service activities were designed to enhance the productivity of breeding cattle through the socialization of breeding cattle cultivation management at the Harapan Sejahtera Farmers Group in Padang City. The methods used included surveys, counseling, discussions, and assistance applying breeding cattle cultivation management. However, the key to enhancing the insight and skills of farmers in implementing cattle breeding management, such as pens and feeding, was the comparative study and a short internship for two days at CV. Andalas Farm, a beef cattle farming business. This practical learning approach provided farmers with firsthand experience and insight into modern maintenance techniques, including pen management and feeding. Innovation at CV. Andalas Farm, which processes sweet corn harvesting waste into silage as a source of green fodder to replace grass, has increased the skills of farmers. The activities increased farmers' knowledge and skills about cattle farming management, especially pen and feed management.
