Abstract

The economic performance of farmers’ households shows the allocation of resources owned by households for productive, consumptive, and investment activities. The largest allocation for cattle business illustrates the responsibility of farmers’ households in using resources for their goals. The research used a survey method. Then, the data collection technique employed interviews with respondents from cattle farmers' households by using the designated questionnaire. The sampling method was purposive, which was the population of cattle farmers’ households receiving capital assistance for cattle business and selling their cattle from capital assistance. The resource allocation for the cattle business was significantly influenced by the total of the received capital assistance, the value of calves, and the allocation of capital assistance for non-cattle businesses.

Abstract

Small-scale cattle farmers face persistent challenges in managing feed costs, which constitute a major component of production expenses. Limited access to technology and financial literacy often hinders their ability to improve efficiency and sustain operations. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a technology-based training model in enhancing farmers’ competencies in feed cost management. Five key indicators were assessed: understanding of hidden costs, identification of forage cost components, proficiency in using Visual Basic applications, ability to construct livestock cash flow, and awareness of the importance of cost recording. A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-test and post-test design involving ten participants, with data analysed through the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Results revealed statistically significant improvements across all indicators (Z = -2.803; p = 0.0051), with average score increases ranging from 79.4% to 102.4%. These findings demonstrate that practice-oriented and digitally integrated training effectively strengthens both technical and managerial capacities among small-scale cattle farmers. The proposed training model is suitable for replication in broader farmer empowerment programs and provides a foundation for longitudinal evaluation of its long-term impact on efficiency, profitability, and business resilience.
