Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Local chicken production has significant economic potential; however, its development is constrained by low productivity and inadequate feed quality. Native chicken farming plays an important role in supporting the livelihoods of small-scale farmers, yet productivity remains limited due to dependence on conventional feed ingredients such as rice bran, whose availability and quality are often inconsistent. The utilization of agricultural by-products as alternative feed ingredients represents an innovative approach to improving efficiency and sustainability in native chicken production systems. Corncob is an abundant agricultural residue, but its utilization is limited by high crude fiber content and low nutrient digestibility. Fermentation using Effective Microorganisms (EM4) has the potential to enhance the nutritional quality of corncobs, making them more suitable for use as a feed ingredient. This study aimed to evaluate the use of EM4-fermented corncob meal as a substitute for rice bran in native chicken diets and to assess its effects on feed intake, slaughter weight, carcass weight, and carcass percentage. The findings of this study are expected to contribute scientific insights into the development of sustainable, agricultural waste-based alternative feeds that are practical and applicable for small-scale native chicken farming systems. METHODS The study was conducted at the Livestock Production and Forage Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Science, University of Jambi, for a period of eight weeks using 200 day-old native chickens. The experiment employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five dietary treatments and four replications. The treatments consisted of different inclusion levels of fermented corncob meal (FCM) in the diet, namely P0 = 0%, P1 = 4%, P2 = 8%, P3 = 12%, and P4 = 16%. The observed parameters included feed intake, slaughter weight, absolute carcass weight, and relative carcass weight. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), and when a significant effect was detected (P < 0.05), Duncan’s Multiple Range Test was applied for mean comparison. FINDINGS The results of this study indicate that corncob meal fermented using EM4 can be utilized as a substitute for rice bran in native chicken diets. The inclusion of this feed ingredient allows normal feed intake to be maintained and is able to sustain slaughter weight and carcass weight of native chickens. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that fermented corncob meal can be included at levels up to 16% in native chicken diets without adversely affecting production performance.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bali tourism that relies on the advantages of nature, culture, and community participation continues to develop through the diversification of education-based and sustainability-based products, including civet coffee agrotourism in Tegallalang District, Gianyar. Bali Nature Luwak Coffee Agrotourism in Sebatu Village faces challenges in the form of fluctuations in visits, changes in tourist preferences, as well as the need to strengthen competitiveness and sustainable management so that it is necessary to formulate a directed development strategy based on comprehensive analysis. METHODS A qualitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. The analysis uses IFAS, EFAS, IE Matrix, SWOT, and QSPM to identify internal and external factors and determine strategic priorities to increase the competitiveness and sustainability of civet coffee agrotourism. FINDINGS The results of the study show that agro-tourism sites have strengths such as unique coffee products and strategic locations, but face weaknesses in the quality of facilities and digital promotion. Opportunities include increased interest in educational and sustainable tourism, while threats involve competition and changes in tourist behavior. The recommended strategy emphasizes improving service quality, improving digital marketing, and building partnerships with external stakeholders. This research provides a practical framework for sustainable. CONCLUSION The main findings from the analysis results through IFAS, EFAS, IE Matrix, SWOT, and QSPM show that the Bali-based Luwak Alam Coffee Agrotourism has the main strength in the form of the uniqueness of coffee products and its strategic location. Contributions in this research can make a positive contribution in the field of agro-tourism development to make Bali's Alam Luwak Coffee agrotourism remain competitive and sustainable. The limitations in this study are the lack of operational evaluation through facility improvements, addition of product variety, and the development of strategies to overcome the decline in visits. Thus, recommendations are needed in the form of improving agro-tourism management and stakeholders in formulating a competitive agro-tourism development strategy.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Farmers in Bulukerto Village generally sell their coffee in red or semi-dried pods to middlemen. As a result, they receive a much lower price than if they sold it as green or roasted beans. Farmers also lack understanding of standard post-harvest processing techniques and have not optimally utilized coffee processing tools and machinery. Low selling price, limited post-harvest knowledge, dependence on middlemen, and minimal use of technology are the main challenges faced by coffee farmers. The added value of coffee products is largely determined by post-harvest processing, whether through dry (natural) or wet (semi-washed and full-washed) processing. This study aims to analyze the added value and yield of Arabica coffee in Rekesan, Bulukerto Village, Batu City, East Java, and identify the determining factors. METHODS: Data were collected from all Arabica coffee farmers belonging to a forest farmer group in Bulukerto Village, who implemented three post-harvest handling methods for harvested coffee beans. The population consisted of 20 farmers. Coffee bean yield was calculated using the applicable standard formula, and the added value of coffee beans was analyzed using the Hayami method. Meanwhile, factors influencing added value through the Cobb-Douglas production function approach were analyzed using a multiple linear regression model. FINDINGS: The study revealed that coffee bean yield and added value varied depending on the post-harvest handling methods employed by farmers. The highest yield and added value were achieved through the natural method. Factors influencing added value also varied depending on the post-harvest handling practices employed by farmers. The number of coffee beans significantly influenced added value, although the relationship was different for the full washed method. CONCLUSION: Natural post-harvest handling produces high yields and added value, but is less popular with consumers. Therefore, an in-depth study of consumer preferences for these coffee beans is necessary. The full washed method requires significantly more labor, but this factor does not significantly impact added value. A limitation of this study is that it does not differentiate coffee beans by plant age, so future researchers could explore this factor
