Abstract

Feed cost remains the largest expenditure in goat farming enterprises and significantly influences profitability, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability. Despite advances in precision livestock farming, limited studies have examined precision nutrition from an agribusiness perspective, particularly in tropical goat production systems. This study aims to analyze the role of Precision Multi-Forage Nutrition (PMFN) as a driver of sustainable goat agribusiness performance through the strategic integration of seven functional forage crops: Bonanza maize (Zea mays), Sweet Lady maize (Zea mays), Indigofera zollingeriana, Anaphalis javanica, Medicago sativa, Pakchong grass (Pennisetum purpureum × Pennisetum americanum), and Odot grass (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott). Using a descriptive case study approach combined with techno-economic and agribusiness feasibility analyses, the study evaluates the nutritional, operational, and economic contributions of diversified forage resources within integrated goat farming systems. The findings indicate that the PMFN framework enhances feed security, improves resource utilization efficiency, reduces dependence on external feed markets, and strengthens business resilience. The integration of seven complementary forage species creates a balanced nutritional ecosystem that supports productivity while simultaneously optimizing feed costs and improving profitability. Guided by the Resource-Based View (RBV), the study demonstrates that diversified forage resources can function as valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable strategic assets that contribute to sustainable competitive advantage. Furthermore, the study introduces the concept of Forage-Based Competitive Advantage (FBCA), which positions forage diversity and precision nutrition as strategic drivers of agribusiness performance rather than merely production inputs. The results suggest that Precision Multi-Forage Nutrition represents a transformative agribusiness innovation capable of enhancing economic sustainability, operational resilience, and long-term competitiveness in goat farming enterprises. These findings provide theoretical contributions to agribusiness strategy literature and practical implications for farmers, investors, and policymakers seeking sustainable livestock development models.

Abstract

The Free Lunch Program is a government policy that has generated various opinions on social media, ranging from support to criticism regarding its implementation. This study aims to analyze public sentiment before and after the implementation of the Free Lunch Program using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm and to compare the performance of several kernels, namely Linear, Polynomial, RBF, and Sigmoid. The data were collected from the X (Twitter) platform and classified into three sentiment categories: positive, negative, and neutral. The experimental results show that the RBF kernel achieved the best performance, with an accuracy of 97.04% on pre-implementation data and 96.32% on post-implementation data. Moreover, the sentiment analysis results indicate that the proportion of negative sentiment increased after the program’s implementation, rising from 54.5% to 57.7%. These findings suggest that the RBF kernel is the most effective in classifying public opinions regarding the Free Lunch Program policy with a high level of accuracy, while also illustrating that public perception tends to be more critical after the program was implemented.

Abstract

The transition toward a low-carbon energy system has increased interest in green hydrogen as an energy carrier for renewable energy integration, industrial applications, and sustainable transportation. However, the economic competitiveness of hydrogen remains constrained by the complexity of coordinating renewable-energy availability, electrolyzer operation, hydrogen storage, distribution, market demand, and profitability. This study proposes an AI-Based Hydrogen Business Digital Twin (HBDT) to optimize hydrogen production, distribution, and business profitability through an integrated digital decision-making framework. The research employs a simulation-based development approach that combines Digital Twin technology, Artificial Intelligence, predictive analytics, multi-objective optimization, and techno-economic analysis. Several machine-learning models, including Random Forest, Support Vector Regression, XGBoost, Artificial Neural Network, and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), are evaluated for predictive performance. The simulation results indicate that LSTM provides the strongest performance, achieving an MAE of 0.041, RMSE of 0.068, and R2 of 0.981. Scenario analysis demonstrates that profitability increases from 12.5% under fixed production and distribution to 32.4% under the integrated AI, Digital Twin, and optimization scenario. The techno-economic simulation further indicates reductions in hydrogen production cost, levelized cost of hydrogen, and distribution costs, accompanied by improvements in renewable-energy utilization, revenue, ROI, and payback period. These findings demonstrate that the proposed HBDT can transform hydrogen management from a static and reactive process into a predictive, prescriptive, and potentially autonomous business ecosystem. The study contributes to the emerging concept of Hydrogen Business 4.0, in which technical operations and economic decisions are continuously optimized through AI and Digital Twin technologies.

Abstract

The rapid digital transformation of agribusiness has created significant opportunities to improve supply chain efficiency, product quality, and operational sustainability through the integration of smart technologies. However, goat milk supply chains continue to face challenges associated with short product shelf life, inadequate cold-chain infrastructure, limited distribution visibility, and high logistics costs, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This study aims to develop and evaluate an Integrated Smart Cold-Chain Goat Milk Logistics System (SCGLMS) as a digital transformation model for goat milk supply chains. A Design Science Research (DSR) methodology was employed, consisting of problem identification, system design, prototype development, pilot implementation, and system evaluation. The proposed SCGLMS integrates four interconnected layers: smart milk processing, intelligent packaging, IoT-enabled cold-chain logistics, and a cloud-based digital management platform that provides real-time monitoring, digital traceability, and logistics analytics. The findings demonstrate that the integrated system significantly improves supply chain visibility, operational coordination, and decision-making by enabling continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, shipment status, and product quality throughout distribution. The system also enhances logistics efficiency, minimizes product spoilage, extends market accessibility, and strengthens customer confidence through improved transparency and traceability. This study contributes to the literature on digital supply chain management by proposing a comprehensive technological framework specifically designed for goat milk logistics. Furthermore, it provides practical guidance for SMEs, agribusiness practitioners, and policymakers seeking to accelerate digital transformation and sustainable supply chain development within the dairy industry.

Abstract

The national dairy industry faces persistent challenges related to fluctuating milk supply, quality deterioration, limited traceability, and inefficiencies in conventional milk collection and storage systems. This study proposes the Smart Milk Bank (SMB) as a disruptive supply chain innovation that moves beyond the conventional function of cold storage by integrating rapid cooling, cold-chain management, real-time quality monitoring, digital traceability, inventory management, and an intermediary business model. An applied research and technology development approach is employed, involving system requirement analysis, prototype development, functional testing, industrial implementation, and performance evaluation. Data are obtained from milk quality measurements, sensor records, production and inventory data, operational observations, and stakeholder feedback. The proposed system is designed to transform the milk bank into an active supply-chain buffer capable of coordinating milk quality and volume according to industrial demand. Performance evaluation focuses on milk losses, quality consistency, supply stability, operating costs, traceability, and system reliability. The proposed targets include reducing damaged milk from approximately 10–15% to 6–8%, improving managed supply stability by 20–30%, and reducing operating costs by 15–25%. The study positions Smart Milk Bank as a systemic innovation in which technological integration and business-model innovation jointly strengthen dairy supply chain resilience. The findings provide a conceptual and practical foundation for developing a scalable, digitally enabled milk supply system that can support the competitiveness, sustainability, and resilience of the national dairy industry.

Abstract

The digital transformation of livestock production is creating new opportunities to redesign conventional veterinary service delivery. However, veterinary services in goat farming remain constrained by limited personnel, geographic accessibility, delayed disease detection, and relatively high service costs. This study examines how artificial intelligence can disrupt the veterinary value chain through Kambing Light Vision, an AI-based goat health management platform that integrates Computer Vision, disease detection, prediction confidence, and AI-assisted veterinary care recommendations. An exploratory qualitative case study approach was employed by analyzing the technology development process, veterinary service workflow, stakeholder roles, commercialization pathways, and potential business value. The results indicate that AI can shift preliminary health assessment from a predominantly veterinarian-dependent process toward a digitally assisted and farmer-accessible service. This transformation can shorten information flows, reduce service and transaction bottlenecks, improve veterinary triage, and create new value propositions for farmers, veterinary clinics, cooperatives, and agribusiness organizations. The analysis further identifies subscription-based Software as a Service, technology licensing, and managed veterinary services as potential mechanisms for converting AI capabilities into scalable business value. The study argues that the disruptive potential of AI does not lie solely in disease-classification accuracy but in its ability to reconfigure the veterinary value chain and transform how veterinary services are accessed, delivered, and commercialized. Kambing Light Vision therefore represents a transition from AI as a diagnostic technology toward AI-enabled veterinary service infrastructure with potential implications for digital agriculture and sustainable livestock business.
