Government had made the first livestock vessel investment in Indonesia, namely KM Camara Nusantara I (KM CN I) which was operationalizing since 2016. The livestock vessel supported beef cattle distribution from East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT) to DKI Jakarta Province by route Tenau-Waingapu-Tanjung Priok-Cirebon. In addition the government makes another new 5 livestock vessels investment which is one of them planned for beef cattle distribution from Bali Province by Celukan Bawang Port to DKI Jakarta Province by Tanjung Priok Port. Livestock vessel investment required high cost up to Rp 58 billion per unit. Moreover the operational of KM CN I still subsidized by the government.  Therefore the objective of this study is to analyze livestock vessel investment by route scenario Celukan Bawang-Tanjung Priok-Cirebon on nonfinancial aspect, financial, economic and sensitivity analyses. Nonfinancial aspect analysis used descriptive method. Financial and economic analyses used Cost and Benefit Analysis (CBA), with shadow price for economic analysis. Sensitivity analysis used switching value method. Nonfinancial aspect analysis indicated the investment feasible. Financial analysis for livestock vessel return scenario to Celukan Bawang Port without cargo and carrying feed cargo are not feasible (NPV<0). Economic analysis for return scenario without cargo is not feasible (NPV<0), meanwhile for return scenario by carrying feed cargo is feasible (NPV>0, B/C Ratio>1, IRR 5.70% higher than discount rate, and Payback Period 13.84 years). Sensitivity analysis indicated the investment is feasible by minimum increase in the price of ticket fare 534.56% for return scenario without cargo and 410.12% by carrying feed cargo.

Since feed accounts for 75-85% of the variable costs of beef production, the use of alternative feeds and high-energy forages that have a lower cost per unit of energy are worthy of investigation. The technique of harvesting cereals where the whole-crop is harvested at a dry matter (DM) content of 650-750g/kg with the harvester fitted with a grain processor has recently been developed. The objective of this trial was to determine the effect of feeding either adlibitum processed urea treated whole-crop wheat (Alkalage) or cereals on the performance of Continental cross beef cattle since there is no data on the performance of beef cattle fed Alkalage.

<p><em>The purpose of this study was to determine the improvement of beef cattle business scale in Mmalingping and Hasanah breeders in Sukabumi Regency. The study was conducted on a group of beef cattle farmers in Purabaya District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java Province, in 2016. With a structured interview survey method for a group of Malingping beef cattle breeders by purposive random sampling as many as 18 farmers, and the Hasanah breeders group of 18 farmers. Each group of breeders is divided into 2 (two) parts, namely group I maintains beef cattle on a 2-3-scale scale and group II maintains beef cattle on a scale of 4-6 head. The research data is then t</em><em>abulated by descriptive, quantitative and financial economic analysis of the B/C ratio. The results of the financial economic analysis of the net profit in the breeders of Malingping  beef  cattle  from  the  maintenance  of  2  mains  to  3  mains  of  IDR 2,078,000/year to IDR 5,799,500/years, or an increase of 65.13%, B/C ratio 1.06-1.12. The net profit in the Hasanah beef cattle breeders group from 2 parent scale maintenance to 3 parent head scale is IDR 2,384,000/year to be IDR 5,009,250/year, or an increase of 64.18%, B/C ratio 1.05-1.10. If the Malingping and Hasanah beef cattle  breeders  maintain  a  scale  of  &gt;3  productive  female  mothers,  it  is  very</em><em>economical, effective and efficient, economically beneficial.</em></p>

Cattle producers frequently seek low-cost feed alternatives, especially when traditional feeds are expensive. Many of these “alternative” feeds are by-products (or co-products) and waste products from the processing of various food and fiber crops, or crop residues. These alternative feeds can fit into a feeding program as the primary roughage, as a supplement to a regular ration, or as a replacement for part of the ration. This document is AN128, one of a series of the Animal Science Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
