Abstract

Indonesia is primarily an agricultural country with a wealth of natural resources, making agriculture one of the most significant foundations of the nation's economy. One initiative in agricultural growth is organic farming. Organic farming requires that chemical compounds not pollute the land used and have good accessibility. One of the efforts to prevent agricultural and environmental pollution is to use organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers are obtained from the utilization of livestock waste. Farmers still do not fully use organic fertilizers in their farming. So, motivation is needed to encourage farmers to utilize livestock waste as organic fertilizer. This study aimed to investigate the elements that affect farmer motivation, the extent to which farmers are motivated to use animal waste, and the variables that affect farmers' motivation to use livestock waste as organic fertilizer. The sample data collection technique was purposive. As many as 77 farmer respondents used livestock waste. Multiple linear regression analysis is employed in this study's quantitative descriptive methodology to examine the elements that influence farmers' decisions to use animal manure. The study's findings indicate that while non-formal education falls into the high category, internal criteria like age, experience, and formal education fall into the moderate category. External elements are categorized in the high category and consist of capital accessibility, infrastructure accessibility, and counseling intensity. Farmers' motivation to use animal manure is another indicator of their high level of motivation. Age, formal education, and non-formal education are internal factors that have no impact on farmers' inclination to use animal waste; nevertheless, farming experience has an impact. Farmers' willingness to use livestock waste is influenced by external factors such as the accessibility of capital, the quality of infrastructure, and the level of counseling.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the transformation of knowledge among beef cattle farmers through agricultural extension services in Karangpandan Regency. In rural areas, beef cattle farming is generally traditional and managed based on inherited experience without adequate scientific support. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach with 30 respondents selected purposively. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. The analysis used multiple linear regression analysis to examine the influence of extension services (as educators, disseminators of information/innovation, facilitators, consultants, and supervisors) on the level of knowledge of beef cattle farmers (selecting seeds, providing appropriate feed, livestock maintenance methods, pen maintenance, and livestock health management). The results showed that most respondents were in the productive age group (31–50 years), with relatively low levels of education and varying farming experience. Farmers generally had moderate to high levels of knowledge, especially regarding pen management and animal health, while knowledge about breeding was still limited. The role of agricultural extension agents as educators, information/innovation disseminators, facilitators, and supervisors had a significant positive effect on improving livestock farmers' knowledge (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the role of consultants did not show a significant effect. This study concludes that extension services play a strategic role in empowering and transforming the knowledge of beef cattle farmers through a participatory and needs-based approach. To improve the effectiveness and sustainability of livestock extension programs, it is recommended to strengthen the capacity of extension workers and optimize their facilitation and supervision functions.
