Abstract

The Taman Seribu Bunga Agrotourism is a tourist destination known as the beautiful flower beds. The right selection of fertilizer is considered important in the sustainability of agrotourism. The continuous use of chemical fertilizers can cause a decrease in soil health and fertility, which has an impact on plant productivity. In addition, Taman Seribu Bunga Agrotourism is surrounded by farmers who have problems in processing their livestock waste. Therefore, this community service activity carried out is to provide training in bokashi composting as an organic fertilizer that can be used by flower farmers in the Taman Seribu Bunga Agrotourism and its surroundings. The method used is a group discussion forum (FGD), interview, observation, and training using learning media such as brochures, and provide tools and supporting materials for bokashi composting. The results of this study is 6 out of 7 farmers expressed sthat they very satisfied with the bokashi composting training held at Taman Seribu Bunga Agrotourism, highlighting its relevance for managing livestock waste and supporting organic fertilizer needs in local flower and horticultural farming. All 7 farmers also showed interest in applying the knowledge by converting their own farm waste into bokashi. Based on the results of the activity, it can be concluded that the activity can overcome problems related to the accumulation of livestock manure that has not been managed properly.

Abstract

Bali cattle is one of Indonesia's local cattle that has high economic potential. The quality of the semen used plays an important role as a factor in the success of artificial insemination (AI) programs. Climate change, including temperature variations, rainfall, and length of solar exposure, can affect the quality of fresh semen produced by bulls. Differences in environmental conditions can affect semen characteristics, such as spermatozoa concentration, motility, and morphology, which in turn have an impact on the field fertility rate. The aim of this study is to explore the differences in male fertility based on environmental conditions that change throughout the seasons. The research method used in this study is non-experimental, using secondary data on the quality of fresh semen and frozen semen production collected from the Regional AI Center, Bali Province. In addition, this study also used data from the big data of the National Animal Health Information System (iSIKHNAS) to calculate field fertility represented by conception rate. Climate data was obtained from the Indonesian Agency for Meteorological, Climatological and Geophysics (BMKG) Bali Province, the data collected was climate data in Tabanan Regency. The differences in the appearance of fresh semen quality, frozen semen production, and field fertility were analyzed using the Independent T-Test. In this study, there was no significant difference in fresh semen quality, frozen semen production, and field fertility (P>0.05) in all parameters, but the average reproductive performance of bali bulls was higher in the rainy season than in the dry season.
