<![CDATA[Small ruminant farming is an important source of income in Silirbaru Village, Banyuwangi, but productivity remains constrained by limited knowledge of feed management, financial literacy, and livestock waste utilization. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an integrated community empowerment program combining entrepreneurship, nanoprobiotic supplementation, and waste management to improve sustainable small ruminant farming. Approximately 50 goat and sheep farmers participated in participatory training, technical assistance, and mentoring from January to December 2025. Program effectiveness was evaluated using pre- and post-tests, Likert-scale questionnaires, interviews, observations, and descriptive analysis. Most participants reported improved understanding of digital marketing, livestock financial management, vermicomposting, and biogas technology. More than 70% agreed that digital entrepreneurship training enhanced marketing motivation and financial management skills, while participants also recognized the benefits of vermicomposting and biodigesters for increasing waste value and environmental sustainability. The integrated finance, feed, and waste management approach successfully strengthened farmers' knowledge and readiness to adopt sustainable livestock production practices, supporting improved productivity, profitability, and environmental sustainability in small ruminant farming.]]>
