Abstract

Broiler production in humid tropical regions such as East Kalimantan faces challenges from persistently high temperature and humidity, which can affect feed intake, growth rate, and feed conversion efficiency. This study aimed to examine the correlation among key production parameters feed intake, daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio (FCR), and mortality across commercial broiler farms with different housing systems in East Kalimantan. An observational field study was conducted on four broiler farms rearing Ross, Lohmann, and Cobb strains under both closed-house and open-house environments. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation after normality testing. The average feed intake was 3.70 ± 0.64 kg/bird, final body weight 2.08 ± 0.13 kg, total body weight gain 2.04 ± 0.13 kg, FCR 1.81 ± 0.23, and mortality 3.92 ± 0.74. A significant positive correlation was found between feed intake and FCR (r = 0.961; p < 0.05), and a very strong correlation between body weight gain and final body weight (r = 1.000; p < 0.01). Broilers raised in closed-house systems showed lower FCR and more stable growth compared to those in open-house systems. These findings highlight the crucial role of microclimatic control in improving feed efficiency and growth performance of broilers in humid tropical environments. Optimizing housing design and environmental management is therefore recommended to enhance productivity and economic efficiency of broiler farming in tropical regions.

Abstract

Efficient waste management becomes a key factor in reducing negative environmental impacts while improving the operational efficiency of livestock farming. This community service activity aims to enhance young livestock farmers' understanding and skills in Tani Bhakti Village, Loa Janan Subdistrict, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, in applying zero-waste, circular-economy principles in livestock waste management. This activity involved 20 young farmers from diverse backgrounds and genders. The activity included socialization, extension services, technical training, and direct demonstrations in processing livestock waste into value-added products, such as organic fertilizer and bioenergy. The method used was Participatory Action Research (PAR), which involved farmers as active participants at every stage of the activity. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test questionnaires to measure improvements in knowledge, as well as direct observation of the application of waste management techniques. The results showed that 90% of participants successfully improved their understanding of the circular economy, and 85% applied the acquired waste management techniques. The main constraints identified were limited technical understanding and access to technology. This community service activity successfully enhanced the operational sustainability of livestock farming and reduced environmental impacts.
