Abstract

This community service aimed to assist farmers in improving their knowledge and quality of feed by producing fermented complete feed (FCF). The community service occurred from June to November 2019 in the Karya Manunggal livestock group in Donokerto, Turi, Sleman. The activities included observing the initial conditions of the group, providing counseling, conducting FCF production training, evaluating the products, and utilizing the trained products for the livestock. The results of the activities indicated an increase in farmers' knowledge about manufacturing concentrate and feed supplements, feed preservation technology, and FCF, each by 80%, 73%, and 95%, respectively. Farmers successfully produced FCF with good quality, as indicated by the acidic pH of 4.31. The palatability of FCF was also excellent for livestock. The average daily gain in sheep with FCF supplementation was 0.156 grams/head/day, while the farmers' feed supplementation was 0.113 grams/head/day. The community service activities in the Karya Manunggal livestock group conclude the improvement of farmers' knowledge and skills in terms of livestock nutritional needs, balanced feed formulation, and the utilization of fermentation technology in feed production. The success of these activities is also evident in the increased effectiveness of feed and cost efficiency following the implementation of FCF.

Abstract

Sleman Regency focuses on developing joper chicken and cage-free layer farming businesses to promote sustainability and ethical farming practices, ultimately enhancing livelihoods and food security in the region. Social capital, as an intangible asset, plays a crucial role in facilitating effective collaboration and overcoming challenges in livestock businesses. Therefore, this research aimed to analyse the model of business development for joper and cage-free layer farming, as well as the total social capital from both businesses collectively. Primary data were collected through direct interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with all active members and farmer group management. The analysis of the business model was conducted via a business development plan approach, whereas the social capital employed descriptive analysis with a Likert scale. The results showed that government support includes technical training, capital assistance in the form of chicks and feed, and business monitoring. All these activities help farmers manage their poultry business. This guidance provides farmers with greater opportunities to improve their business management skills, address production challenges, and expand their marketing networks. Overall, joper chicken and cage-free layer farming have different business development models, specifically in the procurement of production inputs and product marketing. However, both businesses collectively demonstrated strong social capital across all aspects (trust, norms, reciprocity, and network). This social capital enables farmers to collaborate effectively, establish rules, and exchange information to improve farming benefits. This study implies that strengthening institutional support and promoting multistakeholder collaboration are essential to optimize the development of poultry farming.

Abstract

This study investigated the interactive effects of palm kernel cake (PKC) inclusion levels (10 and 20%) and enzyme supplementation (NSPase, protease, and mannanase) on the growth performance and nutrient efficiency of broiler chickens. A total of 720 male broilers were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments and 6 replicates per treatment with each treatment consisting of 30 chickens for 28 days in a completely randomized design. The parameters measured included feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), energy and protein intake, and their respective efficiencies (Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)). Results showed that broilers fed diets with 10% PKC—both with and without enzyme supplementation—achieved significantly better final body weight, average daily gain (ADG), FCR, EER, and PER than those fed 20% PKC (P<0.05). Notably, enzyme supplementation improved nutrient utilization only at the 10% PKC level, while the 20% PKC inclusion led to reduced digestibility and performance, regardless of enzyme use (P<0.05). Feed, energy, and protein intake were not significantly different across treatments, indicating that variations in growth were primarily due to nutrient utilization efficiency (P>0.05). These findings suggest that a 10% PKC inclusion with or without enzymes optimizes broiler performance, while higher PKC levels may negate enzyme benefits due to increased fibre content.
