Abstract

Will every increase in farming scale decrease the cost per unit of output? Prices for inputs and outputs constantly fluctuate, affecting general livestock production and broiler farming. Consequently, raising livestock farming's efficiency and deciding on its size were in line with the demands of the local economic environment, leading to a rise in livestock revenue. In livestock farming, increasing the farming scale encourages the improvement of livestock infrastructure and the necessary time allocation for farming management. For Farmers, the insights from the findings of this study will provide direction for optimal resource allocation in business development. Furthermore, it helps enrich new insights into the relationship between income, labor time, and scale, especially livestock farming. This study aimed to describe the Interdependence of Income, Characteristics of Working Time, and Farming Scale on broiler farms. This study was conducted in 2023, involving 51 broiler farmers, with farm income, working time, and farm-scale variables as the primary focus. Data analysis was conducted descriptively. The findings indicate that enlarging the scale of broiler farming leads to higher revenue, although necessitating the enlargement of cage space, procurement of more equipment, and the recruitment of additional labor from external sources. The research discovered that expanding the scale of farming leads not only to increased income from broiler farming but also necessitates enlarging the housing area and acquiring additional broiler farming equipment. The available household labor is only adequate to meet the demands of small-scale broiler farming operations. Consequently, at larger scales, farmers rely more on external labor. As a result, the anticipated cost per unit output reduction in broiler farming due to scale expansion does not materialize, as the increased expenditure on additional labor for broiler farming offsets it.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan mendiseminasikan teknologi tepat guna pakan itik pedaging berbasis bahan baku lokal terfermentasi sekaligus memperkuat manajemen kesehatan dan pembukuan agribisnis peternak di Dusun Watutelomba, Desa Lamedai, Kecamatan Tanggetada, Kabupaten Kolaka. Mitra kegiatan adalah kelompok petani peternak itik yang berjumlah 13 orang. Program dilaksanakan secara intensif pada 17–19 Mei 2023 dengan dukungan dosen lintas keahlian. Metode kegiatan berupa koordinasi, observasi lapang, penyuluhan, demonstrasi pembuatan pakan, kunjungan kandang, advokasi, dan pendampingan. Materi utama meliputi formulasi ransum, fermentasi ampas sagu selama lima hari, pembuatan silase keong sawah, pencetakan pelet setengah basah dengan jus kunyit 2%, sanitasi-vaksinasi, dan pencatatan kas sederhana. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan kapasitas peternak dalam mengubah pola pemeliharaan semi-intensif menuju budidaya intensif terkontrol, mengadopsi ransum berbasis jagung, dedak, ampas sagu fermentasi, silase keong, minyak sawit, batu kapur, dan garam, serta memahami pembukuan arus kas. Hilirisasi teknologi pakan lokal ini berpotensi menekan ketergantungan pakan pabrikan dan membangun ekosistem usaha itik pedaging pedesaan yang lebih efisien, sehat, dan berkelanjutan.
