Abstract

The objective of the study was to assess the economic, ecological, and social feasibility of integrated farming between beef cattle and food crops (rice and corn) and beef cattle and vegetables across different land area treatments (1-5 hectares). The research was conducted in Minahasa Regency from March 2024 to July 2024. The sample was determined using a stratified random sampling method. The research indicators included economic feasibility, ecological feasibility, and social feasibility, with measurement variables including (1) production costs, (2) production acceptance of cow dung waste (solid and liquid), (3) inorganic fertilizer requirements, and (4) organic fertilizer contribution to inorganic fertilizer substitution. Data analysis was conducted using the R/C, KTP/KBP, and KPO/KPA formulas. The results of the analysis indicated that the integration of beef cattle with rice, corn, and vegetable crops achieved values of economic and social feasibility greater than 1. This is interpreted to mean that any increase in production costs is followed by an increase in benefits and any increase in organic fertilizer production is followed by a corresponding contribution to replacing inorganic fertilizers. However, the availability of organic fertilizer has not been sufficient to replace the use of inorganic fertilizers in almost all land area treatments, as organic fertilizer production does not meet the required needs. Therefore, farmers still depend on inorganic fertilizers

Abstract

The adoption of beef cattle crop-livestock integration system (SITT) innovations in North Minahasa district still faces various obstacles. As a result, beef cattle development tends to experience a decline in population, productivity and competitiveness. This is due to the low application of technology. The solution to overcome this problem is to apply the Livestock Crop Integration System (SITT) pattern.  The purpose of the study was to determine the factors influencing farmers' attitudes and adoption of SITT technology innovations for beef cattle in North Minahasa district. Descriptive research was conducted from March to May 2024, where 25 extension agents and cattle farmers were selected purposively.  The variables used were farmer characteristics, extension worker performance, nature of innovation, communication channels, attitudes and farmer adoption of SITT. Data analysis used the Spearman rank method, to show whether there is a significant relationship between each variable. The results of the study stated that there was a strong relationship between the dimensions of extension (extension performance, nature of innovation) with the dimensions of farmer attitudes and adoption dimensions, while communication behavior (extension dimensions) with the dimensions of farmer attitudes and adoption, had a weak relationship.  In conclusion, In partial terms, the dimensions of extension workers' performance and the nature of innovation have a significant effect on the attitude of beef cattle farmers and the adoption of SITT technology in North Minahasa district, while the dimensions of extension workers' communication behavior have no significant effect. Simultaneously, the dimensions of extension agents consisting of extension agent performance, innovation traits and communication behavior have a significant effect on the attitude of beef cattle farmers and the adoption of SITT technology in North Minahasa district. The attitude dimension of beef cattle farmers significantly influences the adoption dimension of SITT technology in North Minahasa district
