Massey University assumed management responsibility for "Riverside", a 723 ha sheep and beef cattle farm 8 km north of Masterton in Master-ton in March 1978. The farm is leased to the University under the terms of the will of the late Mr Sydney Campbell to assist in the accumulation, expansion and dissemination of knowledge about agriculture, with particular emphasis on agriculture in the Wairarapa. A lo-year farm development programme instigated in 1978 resulted in the sale of the beef herd and the winter stocking rate of sheep being increased to 15.1 suiha by 1984 (9.7 sulha in 1978). In 1985 stocking rates were sharply reduced following a severe drought and the current mixed 2-year bull beef and breeding ewe policy was introduced. Recent research has focused on drought-tolerant pasture species. In late 1992 sheep and beef cattle farmers (n=lOO) were surveyed to identify local information needs and how Riverside could continue to serve the region's research and extension requirements. Information related to fertilisers and farm management were most frequently rated as the most imporant current needs. Keywords: extension, research, Riverside, teaching, Wairarapa

Cattle Farming

<p><strong>English</strong></p><p>Capacity of land-based forage beef cattle farming is lim ited. Integrated sugarcane and beef cattle farming is an alternative to increase cattle population and domestic beef production. The purpose of this paper are (1) to analyze additional potential capacity of cattle through deve loping integrated sugarcane and beef cattle farming; (2) to analyze feasibility of the integrated farming system; (3) to identify principal constraints of the integrated farming system; and (4) to analyze prospect of the integrated farming system. The study was conducted in East Java Province through interviewing the respondents consisting farmers, farmer groups, and key respondents. The results showed that (1) the potential sugarcane waste of sugar mills was able to accommodate 2.86 heads of livestock units/hectare/ year, but if it did not take into acc ount the waste processed into fuel for sugar mill, then it could produce as many as 2.70 heads of livestock units/h ectare/year; (2) financially the integrated farming was profitable, i.e. Rp12.28 million/year for sugarcane farm ing and Rp9.20 million/year foo cattle farm; (4) business of the integrated farming slowly developed due to small business scale and limited farm ers’ capital. The required policies are (1) business actors’ empowerment and business scale improvement using both domestic and imported cattle; (2) enhancing roles of government and private sector as suppliers of cattle breed; (3) developing complete feed factory using local raw materials; and (4 ) improving technical guidanc e and assistance for farmers to accelerate technology adoption and subsidi zed credit access as source of capital. </p><p><strong><br /></strong></p><p><strong>Indonesia</strong></p><p>Usaha ternak sapi potong berbasis lahan untuk sumber hijauan pakan, daya tampungnya semakin terbatas. Integrasi usaha tanaman tebu dan ternak sapi potong merupakan alternatif pemecahan masalah untuk meningkatkan populasi sapi dan peningkatan produksi daging sapi domestik. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah (1) menganalisis perkiraan potensi tambahan kapasitas tampung ternak sapi potong dengan pengembangan integrasi tanaman tebu-ternak sapi; (2) menganalisis kelayakan usaha pada Sistem Integrasi Tanaman Tebu-Ternak Sapi Potong; (3) mengidentifikasi kendala pokokpengembangan Sistem Integrasi Tanaman Tebu-Ternak Sapi potong; dan (4) menganalisis prospek pengembangan Sistem Integrasi Tanaman Tebu-Sapi Potong. Penelitian dilakukan di Provinsi Jawa Timur melalui wawancara dengan responden yang terdiri dari petani, kelompok tani, dan responden kunci lainnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) potensi limbah tanaman tebudan industri pabrik gula (PG) mampu menampung 2,86 ekor ST/ha/tahun, namun jika tidak memperhitungkan bagas karena sudah digunakan untuk bahan bakar dalam penggilingan tebu maka dapat dikembangkan sebanyak 2,70 ekor ST/ha/tahun; (2) secara finansial sistem usaha integrasi tanaman tebu-ternak sapi menguntungkan dengan tingkat keuntungan atas biaya tunai untuk usaha tani tebu sebesar Rp12,28 juta/tahun dan usaha ternak sapi sebesar Rp9,20 juta/tahun; (3) sistem usaha integrasi tanaman-ternak sapi lambat berkembang karena adopsi teknologi masih rendah akibat skala usaha masih kecil dan modal peternak terbatas. Kebijakan pendukung yang perlu dilakukan adalah (1) meningkatkan pelaku usaha dan skala usaha dengan menggunakan sapi domestik dan impor; (2) meningkatkan peran pemerintah dan swasta sebagai pemasok sapi bibit/indukan; (3) mengembangkan industri pakan komplit berbahan baku pakan lokal;dan (4) meningkatkan bimbingan teknis dan pendampingan untuk mempercepat adopsi teknologi dan mengakses kredit bersubsidi sebagai sumber modal peternak.</p>

Finishing Beef Cattle

This study aimed at assessing whether a reduction in stocking density (SKD) would mitigate lameness and positively affect the performance and health of Charolais bulls in an Italian commercial farm. Bulls were distributed in groups of 10 or 8 animals/pen for high (HD) or low density (LD) corresponding to an individual space of 3.5 or 4.7 m2, respectively. Bulls were fitted with collars that measured rumination time and activity. Three 8-h observational sessions were conducted to record behaviors. Data about health conditions were collected daily. No differences were found in the animals’ performance. However, performance results might have been impaired by the culling rate experienced during the trial, which prevented from keeping a consistent SKD. Behaviors did not differ between groups, except for rumination time, which was higher for LD bulls during the third observation (p < 0.05). However, rumination time, recorded by collars, did not vary among treatments. There were no differences in the percentage of sick or lame bulls, but the percentage of animals treated repeatedly due to relapse was higher for the HD group (p < 0.05). It was concluded that a larger space allowance could improve the health of bulls kept on fully slatted floors.

On Farm

The study was aimed to analyze the on-farm agribusiness subsystem approach at farm household, to analyze beef cattle production influencing factors and to analyze economic efficiency of beef cattle farm. The method use for research was survey method at Wirosari District and Purwodadi District, Grobogan Regency as research location. Each district was determined two villages to obtain data from respondent. Quota sampling method was use for determination the number of beef cattle farm household without a counting of population as a sampling frame. The number of respondent for each village was 20 farmers, so the total respondent was 80 farmers. Data were analyzed descriptively for on farm sub-system agribusiness approach, multiple linear regression and economic efficiency. The research result showed that the on-farm agribusiness subsystem was on moderate to good condition, the influencing factors of production were breed, forage, concentrate, health, reproduction, labor, year of farming and agribusiness implementation. The value of reproduction efficiency was 8.975 higher than 1, it was not efficient. The efficiency of farm scale, forage, concentrate, health and labor were 0.352; 0.128; 0.0148; 0.0235 and 0.0834 respectively less than 1, and it had not been efficient yet. The conclusion of research was the agribusiness implementation in beef cattle farming was in moderate and good criteria and gave the benefit to farmers. Production factors of farm scale, forage, concentrate, health, reproduction, labor, years of farming and agribusiness implementation were influence to the beef cattle production. The efficiency of farm scale, forage, concentrate, health, and labor on the beef cattle farm were not been efficient yet, while reproduction became an inefficient production factor.
