Abstract

Broiler chickens are a vital poultry commodity that plays a significant role in meeting the protein needs of the Indonesian population. The increasing demand for chicken meat has encouraged poultry farmers to improve efficiency and productivity. One strategy to achieve this is by selecting the appropriate housing system. This study aims to compare the productivity of broiler chickens raised in two different housing systems open house and closed house under different scales of partnership-based poultry businesses in Dusun Pepalang, Luyo District. The key indicators analyzed include body weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), mortality rate, and performance index (IP). The research uses a descriptive quantitative method with a direct observation approach. Primary data were collected through interviews and field observations, while secondary data were obtained from literature and related documents. The results show that the closed house system offers better productivity and feed efficiency, with lower mortality rates and more uniform growth than the open house system. However, the closed house system requires higher capital investment. These findings can serve as a valuable reference for poultry farmers in choosing the most suitable housing system based on business scale and production goals.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and analyze the role of female vegetable vendors in increasing household income at the Main Market of Wonomulyo Sub-district, Polewali Mandar Regency. The research is based on the socio-economic reality of lower-middle-class households, where women not only fulfill domestic roles but also actively participate in income-generating activities. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with ten purposively selected informants. Findings indicate that the primary motivation for women to engage in vegetable trading is to support family needs due to unstable husband incomes. The average daily income of the informants was IDR 121,000, with contributions to household income ranging from moderate (30%–60%) to high (>60%). Supporting factors include the number of dependents, access to business capital, and the habit of saving as a form of financial management. These results demonstrate that female vegetable vendors play a strategic role in sustaining household economies and contribute significantly to economic resilience. Therefore, their contributions deserve recognition and support through access to capital, entrepreneurship training, and adequate social protection.
