Abstract

Cattle farming in Merauke Regency is still mostly simple, maintained semi-intensively and extensively. Most farmers keep livestock only as savings. Most still depend on nature, especially in the provision of feed, and leave livestock for days in the forest, this will have an impact on the health and productivity of livestock, and this is thought to be one of the causes of the high livestock mortality rate in Merauke Regency by mid-2024. The participation of all parties, including farmers, government and academics, is needed to prevent an increase in mortality due to the outbreak. The exact cause of the massive mortality is not yet known, so educational assistance is required by the community, especially farmers. The method used by the academics, in this case, lecturers and students, is to hold discussions with the farming community in one of the villages that has a large enough cattle population but has not paid attention to maintenance management. The discussion results became a reference for the academic team to develop a socialisation and training programme to solve the problems farmers face. The programme included the distribution of vitamins and dewormers, feed fermentation training, socialisation of manure processing into fertiliser and socialisation of cattle health assessment. The activities were carried out for 6 months, with monitoring and evaluation. The results of this service activity are, that the level of knowledge and understanding of farmers is increasing regarding the need for health care and the application of good management for livestock to increase productivity and reduce the negative impacts that can be caused. Another benefit is the improvement of skills in managing feed ingredients, thus reducing dependence on nature.

Abstract

Amun Kay Village is one of the villages in Tanah Miring District developed into an agricultural center with a background of transmigrant people working as farmers and cattle breeders. This village is located in a lowland area dominated by open shrub areas, rice fields, and swamps. Swamp areas, agricultural fields, and cattle areas become breeding sites for various types of mosquitoes. This study aims to find out about the different kinds of mosquitoes that live in Amun Kay village, Tanah Miring District, so that programs that take care of and maintain animals, like cattle, can better control the mosquitoes that spread disease to cattle. We adjusted the cattle collection method to the specific conditions of the research location. Based on the results of mosquito collection in 3 cattle cages in Amun Kay village, 32 mosquito species with 9 genera were found. The diversity of mosquito species in this study was moderate, and the evenness index of mosquito species was high. The low mosquito dominance index indicates that few mosquitoes dominate an area around the cattle barns in Amun Kay Village, Tanah Miring District, Merauke
