Abstract

The uncontrolled population of dogs and cats in urban areas poses a significant risk for the transmission of zoonotic diseases, including rabies. As a rabies-endemic region in Indonesia, Kupang City requires effective strategies to reduce the population of rabies vector animals, one of which is through sterilization programs. This community service initiative aimed to support population control of dogs and cats as a preventive measure against the transmission of rabies. Sterilization procedures were carried out at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Nusa Cendana during October 2024, involving 25 owned animals (both male and female dogs and cats) from various areas in Kupang, including Penfui, Oesapa, Liliba, and Naikolan. The surgeries were performed by a veterinary medical team using standard surgical techniques, with a focus on animal welfare. The activity received a positive response from the community and demonstrated that sterilization is an effective and socially acceptable method for controlling the domestic animal population. Similar programs can be implemented regularly and sustainably to support rabies elimination efforts in Kupang City.

Abstract

The cultivation of Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) chickens presents significant potential for enhancing community economic welfare, particularly in improving family nutrition in rural areas. Nevertheless, a major challenge faced by partner farmers is the limited knowledge of proper KUB chicken farming techniques, including maintenance practices and the implementation of biosecurity measures. This community service initiative aimed to improve farmers' understanding and skills in applying biosecurity principles to prevent disease outbreaks and enhance livestock production quality. The program employed a combination of educational seminars, hands-on training sessions, and intensive group mentoring. The outcomes demonstrated a notable improvement in farmers' awareness of the importance of biosecurity, positive shifts in the application of best practices for KUB chicken management, and a reduction in livestock disease incidence. This initiative is expected to contribute to the development of sustainable, healthy, productive, and competitive KUB chicken farming enterprises.

Abstract

Intensification refers to efforts aimed at increasing production output by improving work methods, enhancing the productivity of production factors, and employing various technologies in the field of animal husbandry. The Fajar II Farmer Group, the community service partner, is a ruminant livestock farming group. Based on a preliminary survey, it was found that there is still a lack of knowledge and skills related to various technologies in the field of animal husbandry, resulting in farming practices that are still conducted conventionally. As a solution, Team PkMU Unila implemented an intensification program aimed at enhancing farmers’ skills through socialization and training on complete feed formulation. This initiative aimed to improve farmers’ knowledge and competencies in meeting the nutritional needs of livestock and in disease prevention. The program was conducted through a combination of material dissemination, group discussions, and hands-on training sessions. The outcomes of the community service activities were as follows: 1) Socialization and training on complete feed formulation were attended by 20 livestock farmers; and 2) The training sessions involved formulating complete feed using ingredients such as corn husk residue, cassava leaf silage, palm kernel meal, wet tofu waste, pressed cassava pulp, molasses, and a mineral mix. The resulting ration had the following nutritional composition: crude protein 8.89%, fat 1.04%, crude fiber 21.76%, and ash 5.74%. Conclusion of this community service activity demonstrated that socialization and training significantly improved the knowledge of Fajar II Farmer Group members, contributing to the intensification of their skills in complete feed formulation.

Abstract

Water is a basic human need and access to clean water will improve a person’s health. However, some communities have limited access to clean water. Difficulty in obtaining clean water will increase the risk of infectious disease transmission and reduce the food security of families and communities, especially in rural areas. These two things certainly increase the risk of stunting in children. This is also a problem in Kualin Village. Therefore, Kualin Village became a Community Service Intervention Village particularly in providing clean water. The activity was carried out in Hamlet 4, Kualin Village, South Central Timor Regency with involvement of participants such as Kualin Village residents, JPM staff and experts, and from FKKH Undana lecturers. The IbM project was divided into few stages, began with an initial survey to determine the initial condition of the damaged water network. Subsequently, a follow-up survey was carried out to determine and calculate the analysis of equipment and tools requirements related to the damaged water network. This activity was preceded by community outreach to inform the position and location of the damaged plumbing system and repair plans. The survey results were then used as standards for improving and implementing clean water installations. After the water installation was repaired, a trial of its use was carried out, which was then followed by the formation of a work team and water committee comprised of the officials and residents of Kualin Village to ensure the continuity of this project, which is expected to improve the well-being and health of Kualin Village residents

Abstract

Improving farmers’ skills is one of the efforts to increase livestock productivity, which in turn will contribute to fulfilling the community’s need for animal protein and improving the economic conditions of the farmers. Kelompok Tani Ternak Berkah Jaya is a community partner in this flagship community service program located in Tegalsari Village, whose main livelihood is layer poultry farming. Based on a preliminary survey, Kelompok Tani Ternak Berkah Jaya is generally classified as a small-scale or traditional farm that still employs conventional poultry farming methods. Therefore, there is a need for outreach and training on modern layer chicken farming management. The outreach and training activities are expected to improve the farmers’ competencies in managing their poultry businesses. The implementation method of this flagship community service program consisted of three stages: (1) identifying the partner’s needs, (2) providing education on layer farming management and feed formulation training, and (3) conducting evaluations. The program was successfully carried out in Tegalsari Village. The evaluation results showed high enthusiasm from participants, particularly during the discussion sessions. Furthermore, survey results indicated an increase in participants’ knowledge of layer farming management, from 11.76% to 88.23%. The average hen-day production (HDP) over four weeks was 90.28%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that this flagship community service program successfully improved the farmers’ knowledge of layer chicken farming management, including aspects of maintenance, health, and feeding management

Abstract

Nutritional problems such as stunting and anemia in children, as well as the increasing prevalence of degenerative diseases among the productive-age population, remain major public health challenges in Indonesia. Children living in orphanages are at higher risk of nutritional problems due to limited access to balanced meals, lack of health education, and suboptimal living conditions. This community service program aimed to screen for stunting and anemia among children and to detect early risk factors for degenerative diseases among orphanage caregivers. The partner of this activity was Panti Asuhan Generasi Pengubah Kupang, which accommodates children from underprivileged families. The methods included anthropometric measurements, hemoglobin and hematocrit assessments and lipid profile and blood glucose examinations. Additionally, health education sessions were conducted on anemia, stunting, and metabolic syndrome using educational posters and interactive discussions. The results showed that 60.4% of respondents experienced anemia, predominantly mild anemia, and several children were identified as being at risk of stunting. Lipid profile and blood glucose screening among caregivers revealed elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels in two respondents, indicating a high risk of cardiovascular disease and prediabetes. The health education sessions improved participants’ knowledge regarding balanced nutrition, physical activity, and the importance of regular health check-ups. This program successfully enhanced health awareness, improved caregivers’ skills in independent health monitoring, and strengthened collaboration with local primary health care centers for follow-up and routine monitoring.

Abstract

Rabies is a zoonotic disease caused by Lyssavirus with a case fatality rate reaching 100%. Lack of public understanding is the main factor in the transmission of rabies to humans. The purpose of this activity is to increase students' preparedness at SMPN 6 Kupang to prevent and treat rabies through educational outreach. The educational approach includes outreach, poster distribution, and educational songs about rabies. Evaluation was carried out using a pre-test and post-test. The outreach activities showed an increase in students' understanding of the definition of rabies, namely from 57.1% to 90.4%; symptoms of rabies in animals from 90% to 93.8%, animals that transmit rabies from 71.9% to 89%, and various other aspects of rabies prevention and treatment. Based on the comparison of pre-test and post-test results, there was an increase in knowledge about rabies, but the difference was not significant. This demonstrates the success of efforts by various parties to communicate about the dangers of rabies to the children of SMPN 6. However, an educational approach through structured, interactive socialization remains effective in increasing the school community's preparedness to face the threat of rabies.
