Abstract

Duck egg farming is one of the important sources of income for rural communities, and the success of this business largely depends on cost efficiency and the level of profit obtained. This study aims to analyze the cost structure, revenue, and financial feasibility of duck egg farming in Wonomulyo Subdistrict based on the average data from 70 respondents. Data were collected through a survey method with structured interviews regarding the number of livestock, land area, production costs, and farm revenue. The results showed that the average number of ducks reared was 130 birds with an average land area of approximately 25 m² per farmer. Variable costs reached IDR 52,364,000 per year, while fixed costs amounted to IDR 5,190,000 per year, resulting in an average total production cost of IDR 57,554,000 per year. The average revenue from egg production was IDR 65,000,000 per year, yielding a net profit of IDR 7,446,000. Financial feasibility analysis indicated an R/C ratio of 1.13, a Break Even Point (BEP) of 28,777 eggs, and a Return on Investment (ROI) of 12.9% per year. These values demonstrate that duck egg farming is feasible to continue, as revenue exceeds production costs, profits are positive, and production is above the break-even point. The business can be further developed by improving cost efficiency and optimizing livestock productivity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the financial feasibility of broiler chicken farming under a partnership scheme between farmers and a core company in Umbuldamar Village, Blitar Regency. The research employed a case study approach using a descriptive quantitative method. Data collected included production costs, revenues, profits, and financial indicators such as Break Even Point (BEP), Revenue-Cost Ratio (R/C), and Payback Period (PP). The results indicate that broiler farming operated through a partnership model is financially feasible. The average R/C ratio was 1.10, BEP was 1,140 chickens, and the average payback period over three years was 3.03 years. The partnership scheme has proven effective in reducing business risks and ensuring product marketing for farmers. This study recommends the development of more equitable partnership models and increased production efficiency to enhance profitability

Abstract

Fermentation of agricultural by-products represents a strategic and sustainable approach to providing fibrous feed for beef cattle, particularly in regions facing high feed costs and the low nutritional value of unprocessed residues. Through microbial activity, fermentation alters the chemical composition of raw materials by degrading crude fiber components such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, thereby enhancing nutrient availability, crude protein content, digestibility, and palatability. Consequently, fermented by-products improve rumen fermentation efficiency and overall cattle performance while reducing feed costs and mitigating environmental pollution from agricultural waste. The wide availability of agricultural residues ensures a consistent raw material supply, supporting feed sustainability within a circular economy framework. This review highlights the mechanisms and benefits of fermentation technology, its role in improving resource efficiency and farm profitability, and its potential contribution to sustainable livestock systems and national food security.

Abstract

The increasing demand for processed meat products has driven innovation toward offerings that are not only delicious and practical but also more nutritious. Beef meatballs are among the most popular processed meat products, but they often contain tapioca flour as a filler, which is low in fiber and antioxidants. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of substituting tapioca flour with purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas blackie) flour on the organoleptic quality of beef meatballs. The research was conducted in April 2025 at the laboratory of Universitas Islam Balitar using a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and three replications: p0 (no substitution), p1 (10 g substitution), p2 (20 g substitution), and p3 (30 g substitution) of purple sweet potato flour. Organoleptic tests were carried out on color, aroma, taste, and texture parameters by 30 untrained panelists using a 1–4 hedonic scale. The results showed that purple sweet potato flour substitution had a significant effect (p<0.05) on all organoleptic parameters. p1 produced the highest scores for color (2.61) and taste (2.66), while the best texture was obtained in p3 (2.59). The highest aroma score was found in p0 (2.66). The trend indicated that increasing the concentration of purple sweet potato flour tended to decrease color, taste, and aroma scores, while texture tended to improve. Therefore, substitution up to 10% purple sweet potato flour was the optimal proportion that remained acceptable to consumers in terms of organoleptic aspects. This study highlights the potential use of local antioxidant-rich ingredients to enhance the functional value of processed meat products such as meatballs.

Abstract

The empowerment of livestock farmers through the utilization of cow manure biogas plays a crucial role in addressing environmental pollution and enhancing rural energy self-sufficiency. This study aims to analyze the empowerment strategy of farmer groups (KTT) in Sruni Village, Musuk District, Boyolali Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, through a participatory biogas utilization program. A survey method using Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) was employed with 45 respondents determined by census sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and analyzed using SWOT analysis. The results of the SWOT analysis indicate that internal strengths include the economic value of biogas, environmental benefits, and the availability of livestock waste, while weaknesses include a lack of skills, insufficient government support, and limited financial resources. External opportunities encompass potential for educational tourism, economic creativity development, and energy substitution. Threats include technical constraints such as installation damage and gas pressure hazards. Based on the SWOT matrix, the recommended strategies emphasize capacity building, technological improvements, strengthening farmer institutions, and promoting biogas as an alternative energy source. The recommended empowerment strategies involve enhancing farmer capacity, optimizing biogas management, improving installation technology, and promoting biogas as an alternative energy source. This study concludes that strategic empowerment interventions can significantly contribute to the realization of energy self-sufficient villages and circular rural economies.

Abstract

The processing of young deer antlers exemplifies the use of deer as wildlife, guided by the principle of continuity and without harming them. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of young Timor deer antler meal and to determine the impact of its supplementation on the size of the testes of male Wistar rats. Twenty male Wistar rats with a body weight of 200–250 g and an age of 90 days were used. The samples were divided into four groups: a control group and three treatment groups of young Timor deer antler meal at doses of 25 mg kg-1 BW-1, 50 mg kg-1 BW-1, and 100 mg kg-1 BW-1. Ca and Zn measurements were carried out using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer at the Feed Nutrition Laboratory of Diponegoro University. The size of the left and right testes (length, width, diameter, and weight) was analyzed using Analysis of Variance, and Duncan's Multiple-Range Test was used for testis weight. Data on Ca and Zn content were analyzed descriptively. Therefore, it can be concluded that supplementation with young Timor deer antler flour affected testicular weight, but not testicular length, width, and diameter. The results showed a significant difference (P<0.05) in testicular weight parameters, and testicular length, width, and diameter were not significantly different. Therefore, it can be concluded that supplementation with young Timor deer antler flour affected testicular weight, but not testicular length, width, and diameter.
