Abstract

Buffalo farming is an important part of agribusiness activities that play a role in supporting the economy of rural livestock families. Buffalo farming contributes to family income beside providing a source of food and labor. Buffalo farming agribusiness needs to be continuously optimized with the hope of optimizing the capital and competency aspects of farmers in order to optimize the economy and family income. The study aims to determine (1) the contribution of buffalo agribusiness to family income, and (2) analyze the influence of land area (capital factor) and farmer experience (competence) on family income through livestock agribusiness. The research used a Mixed Method Sequential Explanatory approach. The data source in this study was primary data from questionnaires distributed to 85 livestock farmers, followed by interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, path analysis, and Sobel test. Research results showed that Buffalo agribusiness contributed an average of 44.09% to family income, with the lowest contribution of 2.23% and the highest 98.48%. Path analysis showed that land area and livestock farmer experience did not have a significant direct effect on family income, with land area being more influential than farmer experience. However, the Sobel test showed that land area and livestock farmer experience had a positive and significant effect when using buffalo agribusiness income as a mediating variable, farmer experience was the most dominant influence in indirect effect. Income from buffalo agribusiness plays a strategic role in increasing the influence of capital and livestock farmer competency on household economic well-being. These results emphasize the importance of strengthening an integrated, land-based, and experience-based buffalo agribusiness system, policy interventions in the form of capacity-building training for farmers, optimal utilization of land resources, and institutional support to enable buffalo agribusiness to become a primary pillar in strengthening family economic resilience.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Bali bull cattle in Kabila Bone District and provide foundational information for developing local superior breeding stock. Methodology: The study involved 20 Bali bull cattle aged 2–8 years. Quantitative data were obtained through morphometric measurements (body length, chest girth, body height, hip width, etc.), while qualitative traits were visually observed (coat color, leg markings, dorsal stripe, horns, and tail color). Data were analyzed descriptively by calculating mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation values. Results: The average body length was 101.00 cm, chest girth 148.45 cm, and body height 110.55 cm. The dominant coat color was black mixed with brown (45%), leg markings were mostly clearly defined (55%), dorsal stripes were mostly moderate (70%), all cattle had horns (100%), and black tail color dominated (85%). Findings: The Bali bulls in the study location exhibited characteristics consistent with pure Bali cattle, with minor variations due to environmental influences. Novelty: This study provides a comprehensive morphological documentation of Bali cattle in eastern Gorontalo, which has been rarely reported. Originality: It simultaneously describes both qualitative and quantitative traits of a local Bali cattle population that has not been previously documented. Conclusion: The Bali bull population in Kabila Bone District retains the original phenotypic characteristics and has strong potential to be developed as a superior breeding stock. Type of Paper: Research article.

Abstract

Bali cattle are a favorite among breeders due to their good adaptability to various environmental conditions, good feed utilization, high reproductive capacity, and high carcass yield. The purpose of this study was to determine the qualitative characteristics of female Bali cattle using descriptive analysis. This study was conducted in Bolaang Uki Regency from September to October 2024. Fifty female Bali cattle were used as study subjects. The observed variables were external characteristics: coat color, leg color and pattern, calf line, horn shape, ear shape, and hoof color. The coat color, leg color and pattern, calf line, horn shape, ear shape, and hoof color of female Bali cattle varied from brick red to brown, with 4.16% being white. The leg color and pattern conformed to general standards for female Bali cattle. The calf line on the back was medium in length
