Abstract

Pig manure often creates environmental pollution and social issues for small-scale farmers. This community service activity empowers pig farmers to utilize manure for biogas production as an alternative energy source and as a bioslurry for organic fertilization. We applied socialization and assistance, and constructed dome-type biogas digesters using locally available materials. We analyzed the potential of biogas based on the number of livestock and daily manure production, then connected this to household cooking energy needs. The results indicate that farmers can use the resulting biogas as a substitute for LPG for cooking, reducing their dependence on LPG. Additionally, bioslurry can serve as organic fertilizer, supporting agriculture and household gardens. Socio-economically, this activity enables energy cost savings, improves environmental conditions around pens, and fosters greater social acceptance of pig farming. Overall, transforming livestock manure into biogas and bioslurry provides a sustainable empowerment model for farmers, which communities can replicate.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in toddlers that affects physical growth, cognitive development, and long-term health. One of the risk factors for stunting is iron and vitamin D deficiency, both of which play important roles in children’s growth and development. Educating parents about iron and vitamin D supplementation serves as a promotive and preventive strategy to reduce the risk of stunting, particularly among at-risk toddlers. This community service activity aimed to analyze the effect of parental education on the use of iron and vitamin D supplements among toddlers at risk of stunting. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The participants were parents who received structured education on the benefits, dosage, and methods of administering iron and vitamin D supplements. The pretest results showed low knowledge in 22% of respondents, moderate in 22%, and high in 56%, while the posttest results indicated low knowledge in 5%, moderate in 10%, and high in 85%. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase in knowledge (p = 0.020), accompanied by improved practical understanding as observed from participants’ responses. This activity contributes to stunting prevention efforts by enhancing community-level micronutrient literacy.

Abstract

Central obesity is a primary risk factor for various non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension, with its prevalence steadily increasing due to sedentary lifestyles and imbalanced diets. The community in Pampang Village, Samarinda, faces challenges of nutritional transition characterized by high consumption of processed foods and low physical activity. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to enhance nutritional literacy and community awareness of the prevention of central obesity by implementing the Isi Piringku (My Plate) balanced diet guidelines. The implementation method involved three stages: awareness through anthropometric health screening (BMI and waist circumference), capacity building through interactive counseling and local food demonstrations, and empowerment through active lifestyle mentoring. The activity involved 45 participants, predominantly from the productive age group and the elderly. Screening results revealed that 60% of participants (27 individuals) suffered from central obesity. The educational intervention significantly improved participants' knowledge, with the average score increasing from 55 (pre-test) to 88 (post-test). The study concludes that community-based health interventions utilizing personal screening and visual education are effective in enhancing community understanding of early detection and dietary changes to reduce the risk of central obesity at the village level.
