In the present study, a test was developed to measure the knowledge level of dairy farmers about scientific dairy farming. A preliminary set of 87 knowledge items was initially administered to 60 randomly selected dairy farmers for item analysis. The difficulty index and discrimination index was found out, and the items with difficulty index ranging from 30 to 80 and the discrimination index ranging from 0.30 to 0.55 were included in the final format of the knowledge test. A total of 48 items which fulfilled both the criteria were selected for the final format of knowledge test. Reliability of the test through split half method was found out to be 0.386 and the coefficient of correlation value by the test-retest method was 0.452, which was found to be significant at 1% level of significance. Hence, the knowledge test constructed was highly stable, reliable and validated for measuring what it intends to.

ABSTRAK. Peningkatan produktivitas ternak dapat dicapai melalui perbaikan genetik, pakan, manajemen dan modifikasi lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi aspek teknis pemeliharaan sapi perah berdasarkan panduan Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFP) pada manajemen pemeliharaan semi intensif di peternakan sapi perah rakyat Pondok Ranggon, Jakarta Timur. Aspek teknis pemeliharaan sapi perah yang dievaluasi meliputi aspek pemuliaan dan reproduksi, pakan, manajemen pemeliharaan, perkandangan, peralatan dan kesehatan ternak. Metode yang digunakan adalah survei, observasi dan pengukuran langsung. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan disajikan dalam bentuk frekuensi tabulasi untuk menggambarkan setiap karakteristik aspek pemuliaan dan reproduksi, pakan, manajemen pemeliharaan, perkandangan, peralatan dan kesehatan ternak. Hasil evaluasi aspek teknis yang dibandingkan dengan nilai rata-rata pelaksanaan GDFP di stasiun percontohan pemeliharaan sapi perah Pondok Ranggon menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan aspek teknis pemeliharaan sapi perah pada peternakan rakyat Pondok Ranggon termasuk dalam kategori cukup baik. Nilai rata-rata tertinggi pelaksana GDFP adalah pada aspek manajemen pemeliharaan, sementara aspek terendah adalah untuk kesehatan ternak. Kesimpulannya adalah pelaksanaan aspek teknis pemeliharaan sapi perah berdasarkan standar GDFP pada peternakan rakyat Pondok Ranggon harus ditingkatkan. (Technical aspects evaluation of dairy cow maintenance towards good dairy farming practices on pondok ranggon small holder dairy farm) ABSTRACT. Increasing livestock productivity can be achieved through genetic improvement, feeding, management and environmental modification. This study was aimed to evaluate various technical aspects in raising dairy cattle under semi intensive management at small dairy farmers in Pondok Ranggon (PR), Jakarta. Some technical aspects evaluated provided breeding, reproduction, feeding, management and health services. The methods used were by survey, observation and direct measurement. Data were analyzed descriptively then completed by tabulation frequencies to describe any characteristics of breeding decision, technical skills, daily management and health services. Evaluation on the considered technical aspects, compared to average values of Good Dairy Farming Practices (GDFP) showed that PR small dairy farmers in this study were categorized quite well. The highest average value of GDFP was for breeding and reproduction aspects, while the lowest one was for health services. It was concluded that PR small dairy farmers should be brought up for better management improvement.

Sericulture and dairy farming play synergistic role in the livelihood of farmers particularly in Karnataka state. It provides assured income and employment to the farmers. Karnataka is the highest silk as well as 11th topmost milk producing state in India. The study was conducted in Kolar and Chikkaballapura district of the state. A total of 180 respondents were selected for the study. Semi-structured interview schedule was used for field investigation. Result reveals that, about 49.44% of sericulture based dairy farmers belongs to medium knowledge category, whereas about 30.56% of respondents belongs to low knowledge category and only 20% belongs to the high knowledge category of sericulture based dairy farming. Therefore, knowledge of farmers about sericulture based dairy farming practices need to be given special emphasis with various effective extension approaches.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to measure the technical inefficiency of dairy farms and subsequently investigate the factors affecting technical inefficiency in the Malaysian dairy industry. Design/methodology/approach This study uses multi-directional efficiency analysis to measure the technical inefficiency scores on a sample of 200 farm observations and single-bootstrap truncated regression model to define factors affecting technical inefficiency. Findings Managerial and program inefficiency scores are presented for intensive and semi-intensive production systems. The results reveal marked differences in the inefficiency scores across inputs and between production systems. Practical implications Intensive systems generally have lowest managerial and program inefficiency scores in the Malaysian dairy farming sector. Policy makers could use this information to advise dairy farmers to convert their farming system to the intensive system. Social implications The results suggest that the Malaysian Government should redefine its policy for providing farm finance and should target young farmers when designing training and extension programs in order to improve the performance of the dairy sector. Originality/value The existing literature on Southeast Asian dairy farming has neither focused on investigating input-specific efficiency nor on comparing managerial and program efficiency. This paper aims to fill this gap.
