Abstract

Kebumen Ongole Grade (PO Kebumen) cattle is a nationally recognized local cattle strain of Central Java, designated through Decree of the Minister of Agriculture Number 358/2015. This study aimed to characterize the quantitative and qualitative morphometric traits of PO Kebumen cattle and to develop a practical body weight prediction model from linear body measurements. A total of 130 cattle (42 males and 88 females), aged 2-6 years, were measured across the coastal sub-districts of Urutsewu: Ambal, Mirit, and Buluspesantren. Nine linear body measurements and seven qualitative traits were recorded, and live weight was estimated using a digital weighbridge. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, Pearson correlation, and regression. Males were significantly larger than females in withers height and head dimensions (P<0.05), while chest girth did not differ between sexes. Chest girth showed the highest correlation with body weight (r=0.94), yielding the model BW = 5.18 CG - 478.6 (R2=0.88). The dominant qualitative traits were a plain white coat, a black muzzle, a thick, folded dewlap, and a large, erect hump. PO Kebumen cattle exceeded the SNI 7651-5:2020 minimum standard, confirming their superior frame and chest girth as reliable field predictors of body weight.

Abstract

The Kacang goat is the most widely distributed indigenous goat of Indonesia, yet evidence on its production potential remains scattered across heterogeneous local studies. This review aimed to synthesize the productive, reproductive, and adaptive potential of the Kacang goat to inform conservation and genetic improvement. Following the PRISMA 2020 guideline, we retrieved peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2025 from Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ScienceDirect, supplemented by hand-searching; 47 studies met the eligibility criteria, and 31 provided extractable quantitative data. A random-effects meta-analysis of litter size across ten studies yielded a pooled estimate of 1.85 kids per birth (95% CI 1.78–1.92; I² = 58%). Adult body weight ranged from 22 to 30 kg, kidding interval from 217 to 271 days, and the doe reproduction index from 2.3 to 3.1 kids per doe per year, with pre-weaning survival commonly exceeding 90%. Carcass percentage ranged from 44 to 47%, and the breed showed strong thermotolerance and the ability to maintain reproduction on low-quality forage. Although small-framed, the Kacang goat combines high prolificacy, early maturity, and superior environmental resilience. Structured selection within nucleus flocks and controlled crossbreeding, rather than indiscriminate grading-up, are recommended to realize its potential while preserving genetic identity.

Abstract

Sudan has one of Africa's largest ruminant livestock populations, at around 105–110 million head of cattle, sheep, goats, and camels (circa 2020–2021), which underpin rural livelihoods, food security, and foreign-exchange earnings. This structured narrative review synthesizes current knowledge on Sudanese ruminant production across agro-ecological zones, integrating production systems, indigenous genetic resources, productivity and reproduction, disease burden, dairy and meat value chains, and the export economy, alongside the compounding effects of climate variability and the armed conflict that began in April 2023. Peer-reviewed literature and official statistics, mainly 2005–2026, were retrieved from international databases and analyzed thematically, with quantitative figures triangulated across independent sources and residual discrepancies reported as ranges. Ruminants contribute roughly one-third of agricultural gross domestic product, yet productivity remains low because of seasonal feed deficits, water scarcity, a heavy disease burden, weak veterinary and market infrastructure, largely undocumented crossbreeding, and unreliable population data. Indigenous Kenana and Butana cattle, Sudan Desert sheep, Desert and Nubian goats, and dromedary camels are valuable, climate-adapted genetic resources that remain under-exploited and increasingly at risk. The conflict sharply curtailed total livestock exports fell from about 4.77 million head worth US$830.6 million in 2024 to roughly 3.91 million head worth US$468.3 million in 2025 — and damaged slaughter capacity. We show how climate and conflict compound through shared mechanisms, and identify community-based breeding, improved feeding and animal-health systems, rangeland management, value-adding processing and traceability, climate adaptation framed around emission intensity, and reliable data and coherent policy as priorities for a resilient, sustainable ruminant sector.

Abstract

The Kampung Unggul Balitbangtan (KUB) chicken is the first Indonesian native chicken systematically selected for egg production, released by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2014 after six generations of selection at the Indonesian Research Institute for Animal Production. This review synthesizes current evidence on the productive potential, economic contribution, and sustainability of KUB chicken development in Indonesia. KUB chickens lay 160–180 eggs hen⁻¹ year⁻¹ at a hen-day production of 45–50% (up to 60–65% at peak), reach 0.8–1.0 kg slaughter weight within 10–12 weeks, and show markedly reduced broodiness and lower mortality than unimproved kampung chickens. The second line, KUB-2, was further selected for higher egg output and yellow shank, improving carcass acceptability. Economically, KUB farming is more profitable than rearing unimproved native chickens (revenue–cost ratio ≈ 2.4 versus 1.7) and underpins several government poverty-alleviation and food-security programs. Across economic, ecological, and social dimensions, KUB farming shows strong sustainability, supported by adaptation to marginal and dry land, the use of local and agro-industrial by-product feeds, and strong community social capital. Nevertheless, high feed costs, disease pressure, an on-farm productivity gap, and weak genetic and seed stock management constrain sustainable scale-up. Strengthening biosecurity, local feed formulation, breeding-stock management, farmer institutions, and value-chain integration is therefore essential. KUB chicken offers a robust, locally adapted pathway toward sustainable smallholder poultry and national food sovereignty.

Abstract

This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes the socio-economic dimensions of smallholder beef cattle (Bos indicus/Bos taurus) farming in Central Java, Indonesia. Following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, a structured search of Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, Garuda, SINTA, AGRICOLA, and PubMed through October 2025 identified 42 eligible studies, 27 of which provided data for quantitative pooling under random-effects models. Beef-cattle enterprises were consistently profitable, with a pooled revenue-cost (R/C) ratio of 1.44 (95% CI: 1.36–1.52) and benefit-cost ratios ranging from 2.1 to 3.4; the enterprise contributed a mean of 27% of total household income and functioned primarily as a liquid savings and insurance asset (tabungan). Fattening, feedlot-cooperative, and crop-livestock integrated systems outperformed cow-calf breeding and gaduhan profit-share tenure. Meta-regression identified herd size, crop-livestock integration, farmer-group membership, formal credit (KUR) access, and adoption of artificial insemination as significant positive determinants of net income, whereas feed-cost share and distance to auction markets were the principal constraints. Thematic synthesis of the social dimension revealed an aging, low-education workforce, weak bargaining power against brokers (blantik), gendered labor patterns, and uneven benefits from public programs (UPSUS SIWAB, artificial insemination services, extension). Evidence certainty was moderate because of methodological heterogeneity (I² = 61%) and inconsistent reporting in primary studies. We conclude that integrating credit access, farmer-group strengthening, feed-cost efficiency, and market institutions offers the most robust pathway to improving both profitability and equity in Central Java’s smallholder beef-cattle sector.

Abstract

Chicken meat is a primary source of affordable animal protein in Indonesia, yet the quality delivered to consumers varies with the marketing channel. This study evaluated and compared consumer satisfaction with chicken meat quality across three channels—traditional markets, mobile vendors, and chicken slaughterhouses (CSHs) in Kaligondang District, Purbalingga Regency, Central Java. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 70 respondents selected through purposive sampling, all of whom had bought chicken meat from the three channels. We measured perceptions of product quality, price, service, and satisfaction on a five-point Likert scale across 14 indicators. We analyzed the data using the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) to quantify overall satisfaction and Importance–Performance Analysis (IPA) to identify priority attributes for improvement. All items were valid (r > 0.235) and reliable (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.726–0.856). CSI values were 79.89% for traditional markets (satisfied), 79.14% for mobile vendors (satisfied), and 84.76% for CSHs (very satisfied). IPA placed service speed and responsiveness in the first-priority quadrant for traditional markets; price stability was the weakest attribute for mobile vendors (conformity 79.0%); and price affordability, together with service speed, was the main gap for CSHs (conformity 84.0%) despite their superior product color, texture, and aroma. CSHs achieved the highest satisfaction, driven by standardized handling and hygiene, whereas mobile vendors excelled in interpersonal service and traditional markets in price affordability. Channel-specific strategies are recommended to close the identified importance–performance gaps and strengthen consumer loyalty.
