Abstract

Feed cost remains the largest expenditure in goat farming enterprises and significantly influences profitability, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability. Despite advances in precision livestock farming, limited studies have examined precision nutrition from an agribusiness perspective, particularly in tropical goat production systems. This study aims to analyze the role of Precision Multi-Forage Nutrition (PMFN) as a driver of sustainable goat agribusiness performance through the strategic integration of seven functional forage crops: Bonanza maize (Zea mays), Sweet Lady maize (Zea mays), Indigofera zollingeriana, Anaphalis javanica, Medicago sativa, Pakchong grass (Pennisetum purpureum × Pennisetum americanum), and Odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott). Using a descriptive case study approach combined with techno-economic and agribusiness feasibility analyses, the study evaluates the nutritional, operational, and economic contributions of diversified forage resources within integrated goat farming systems. The findings indicate that the PMFN framework enhances feed security, improves resource utilization efficiency, reduces dependence on external feed markets, and strengthens business resilience. The integration of seven complementary forage species creates a balanced nutritional ecosystem that supports productivity while simultaneously optimizing feed costs and improving profitability. Guided by the Resource-Based View (RBV), the study demonstrates that diversified forage resources can function as valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable strategic assets that contribute to sustainable competitive advantage. Furthermore, the study introduces the concept of Forage-Based Competitive Advantage (FBCA), which positions forage diversity and precision nutrition as strategic drivers of agribusiness performance rather than merely production inputs. The results suggest that Precision Multi-Forage Nutrition represents a transformative agribusiness innovation capable of enhancing economic sustainability, operational resilience, and long-term competitiveness in goat farming enterprises. These findings provide theoretical contributions to agribusiness strategy literature and practical implications for farmers, investors, and policymakers seeking sustainable livestock development models.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to analyze the impact of advanced digital information systems on business agility and innovation within the industry 6.0 framework. Novelty in this research is to develop new dimension of digital information systems, business agility, and innovation. In this quantitative research, data will be collected using a structured questionnaire. The data will then be analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. The sample size will be a minimum of 210 respondents, in accordance with SEM guidelines. The study confirms that Digital Information Systems (DIS) significantly improve Business Agility and that Business Agility positively influences Innovation. However, Digital Information Systems do not directly improve Innovation. Instead, Business Agility acts as a mediator, meaning that Digital Information Systems enhances Innovation indirectly through Business Agility. This finding highlights the indirect role of Digital Information Systems in fostering Innovation. Simply adopting digital systems is not enough to drive Innovation; rather, organizations must leverage these systems to enhance their agility, which in turn facilitates innovation. Future research should incorporate qualitative approaches (e.g., case studies, expert interviews) to better understand the mechanisms behind agility-driven innovation.

Abstract

The transition toward a low-carbon energy system has increased interest in green hydrogen as an energy carrier for renewable energy integration, industrial applications, and sustainable transportation. However, the economic competitiveness of hydrogen remains constrained by the complexity of coordinating renewable-energy availability, electrolyzer operation, hydrogen storage, distribution, market demand, and profitability. This study proposes an AI-Based Hydrogen Business Digital Twin (HBDT) to optimize hydrogen production, distribution, and business profitability through an integrated digital decision-making framework. The research employs a simulation-based development approach that combines Digital Twin technology, Artificial Intelligence, predictive analytics, multi-objective optimization, and techno-economic analysis. Several machine-learning models, including Random Forest, Support Vector Regression, XGBoost, Artificial Neural Network, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), are evaluated for predictive performance. The simulation results indicate that LSTM provides the strongest performance, achieving an MAE of 0.041, RMSE of 0.068, and R2 of 0.981. Scenario analysis demonstrates that profitability increases from 12.5% under fixed production and distribution to 32.4% under the integrated AI, Digital Twin, and optimization scenario. The techno-economic simulation further indicates reductions in hydrogen production cost, levelized cost of hydrogen, and distribution costs, accompanied by improvements in renewable-energy utilization, revenue, ROI, and payback period. These findings demonstrate that the proposed HBDT can transform hydrogen management from a static and reactive process into a predictive, prescriptive, and potentially autonomous business ecosystem. The study contributes to the emerging concept of Hydrogen Business 4.0, in which technical operations and economic decisions are continuously optimized through AI and Digital Twin technologies.

Abstract

The rapid digital transformation of agribusiness has created significant opportunities to improve supply chain efficiency, product quality, and operational sustainability through the integration of smart technologies. However, goat milk supply chains continue to face challenges associated with short product shelf life, inadequate cold-chain infrastructure, limited distribution visibility, and high logistics costs, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study aims to develop and evaluate an Integrated Smart Cold-Chain Goat Milk Logistics System (SCGLMS) as a digital transformation model for goat milk supply chains. A Design Science Research (DSR) methodology was employed, consisting of problem identification, system design, prototype development, pilot implementation, and system evaluation. The proposed SCGLMS integrates four interconnected layers: smart milk processing, intelligent packaging, IoT-enabled cold-chain logistics, and a cloud-based digital management platform that provides real-time monitoring, digital traceability, and logistics analytics. The findings demonstrate that the integrated system significantly improves supply chain visibility, operational coordination, and decision-making by enabling continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, shipment status, and product quality throughout distribution. The system also enhances logistics efficiency, minimizes product spoilage, extends market accessibility, and strengthens customer confidence through improved transparency and traceability. This study contributes to the literature on digital supply chain management by proposing a comprehensive technological framework specifically designed for goat milk logistics. Furthermore, it provides practical guidance for SMEs, agribusiness practitioners, and policymakers seeking to accelerate digital transformation and sustainable supply chain development within the dairy industry.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of livestock waste into economic and environmental value through innovation in goat farming. The study applies a qualitative case study approach using observation, interviews, and documentation of a Smart Composting System. The system utilizes leftover fermented corn-stalk and leaf silage, goat manure, horse manure, EM4, and brown sugar, supported by Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring of temperature, moisture, and NPK. The findings indicate that the innovation enables organic waste to be transformed into compost while generating operational data that can support more effective management decisions. The integration of environmental accounting further enables the identification of processing costs, potential economic value, and environmental benefits. The study demonstrates that waste management can be repositioned from a cost-oriented activity into a value creation strategy through the integration of resource recovery, digital technology, and environmental-economic measurement. The proposed approach provides a practical foundation for developing circular and sustainable business practices in goat farming.
