Generic Relationships

In mountain farms, challenges posed by the degree of land slope, altitude and harsh climate further compound multiple other possible constraints, particularly in relation to the distance of the farm from the farmstead. This study focused on how mountain-area dairy farmers factor the geographical characteristics of their fields into their field-use decisions. To that end, we surveyed 72 farmers who farm the traditional Salers breed of cattle and 28 specialised dairy system farmers in the central Massif region, France. Information was collected on the uses and geographical characteristics of all grassland fields (n = 2341) throughout the entire outdoor grazing season, without identifying farmers’ rationales for their field-use decisions. Field-use classes were constructed for the traditional Salers system per group of fields (grazed-only, cut-only, grazed-and-cut) and then used to classify fields in the specialized dairy system. The geographical characteristics, which were associated afterwards, were significantly different between the field groups and between field-use classes. Grazed-only fields were found to be more sloping and cut-only fields were smaller and further from the farmstead. Distance/area combinations were different according to field use (animal category, earliness of first cut, grazing and cutting sequence) and were decisive for all field-use classes. This study allowed the identification of generic relationships between field uses and their geographical characteristics in mountain-area dairy cattle farms.

This research aimed to improve dairy production and increase the income of dairy farmers using locally available feed resources. Small-scale milk producers rely heavily on available feed resources in the locality which are either indigenous in the area or introduced species for feed and nutrition of their dairy cattle and buffalos. Their milk output depends mainly on seasonal fluctuations in the quality and quantity of natural forage. Crop residues such as corn stover and rice straw which are high in fiber but low in nutrients serve as a feed supplement and filler to the daily diets of dairy cattle and buffalos. Cagayan Valley is an ear of top corn and rice-producing region. The potential of crop residues as feed supplements or raw materials of dairy cattle/buffalo feed mix is great. But dairy farmers still face the scarcity problem of quality feed resources for dairy animals especially during the dry season. The supply of forage is very low during the dry spell. Inadequate feed mix and low nutritive value of feed mix result in low or no milk production. Producing green corn and ensiling it to produce green corn silage preserves and prolong the storage life of forages. In this way, a stable supply of feed mix for dairy animals is assured year-round. Type of Paper: Empirical. Keywords: adoption and commercialization, dairy industry, financial viability, green-corn silage production, indigenous grasses, smallholder farmers.

Development Analysis

The objective of the study was to determine the potency of dairy cattle development, famers income, factors influencing the income of dairy farmers in the West Ungaran District. This study was conducted from February to April 2016. The determination of the sample villages was using purposive based Livestock Farmer Group (LFG) and the total population of dairy cattle. Further, respondents were determined by using census method for 47 people; those were 13 respondents of “Mardi Mulyo” LFG members, 7 respondents of “Sumber Hasil” LFG members, and 27 respondents of “Ngudi Makmur” LFG members. This study used regression, and SWOT analysis. The results of this study showed the multiple regression analysis showed that milk production significantly influences the income of dairy farmers. Farmers income in “Mardi Mulyo”, “Sumber Hasil” and “Ngudi Makmur” group in a row during one month arrived at IDR 703,292/had, IDR 2.157.250/had and IDR 1,649,395/had, respectively. In addition, SWOT analysis showed a total score of internal and external scores of 3.61 and 2.73. Based on the results of business development analysis of dairy cattle in West Ungaran District, it could be concluded that the dairy farm in category IV, stability strategy and coordinate points are in quadrant IV.
