This community service activity aims to improve the efficiency of cattle farm business in Huta Gondang Rejo Nagori Bandar Tongah Bandar Huluan Subdistrict Simalungun Regency through the use of pellet complete feed based on palm oil fronds and agricultural waste. This activity is conducted on cattle ranchers who are members of the farming community group Huta Gondang Rejo. Farmers are given counseling and training on the processing of palm oil fronds and agricultural waste into livestock feed and the establishment of a complete ration of palm-based pellet and agricultural waste. To facilitate the transfer of this technology to the breeder, then prepared a complete feed pellet with 5 types of machines. Palm Crusher Counter Machines or Palm Crafter Engines with a capacity of 600 kg/hour. Pellet printing machine (granulator) with capacity of 100 kg/hour. Mixer machine (mixer feed) with a capacity of 50 kg/stir. Dryer (Oven) with capacity of 10 kg/rack. Manual press feed press tool with specification 2 kg/print. Measuring the success of this activity is seen from the level of farmer adoption of pelleting technology and the difference of ration conversion between cattle that get complete feed and conventional or traditional. Performance of palm cropping machine for cattle that get complete pellet feed is better than cattle that get conventional or traditional feed. This Chopper machine can count the palm stem from the tip of the base of the leaf to the stem (80% of the palm stem). Through the activities of plant waste feed technology is expected to achieve some outcomes, namely, improve the productivity of farming through the system integration of livestock combine farming system with synergistic system to form an effective, efficient and environmentally friendly.

Annually 500 M t organic wastes are produced in India from the agriculture sector. Transportation of bulky organic manures for centralized collection, processing and distribution to farms is cost prohibitive. Hence, recycling of agricultural wastes using vermicompost technology at the farm level is a practical way of managing agriwaste for meeting the plant nutrient requirement. Our experience with a 1.584 ha farm for three years (2015–2016 to 2017–2018) revealed that 8.1 t vermicompost was produced in three batches from 24 t agriwastes produced within the farm area. The system productivity by recycling these farm generated agriwastes and run-off water was 18.05 t (≈11.4 t ha−1) rice equivalent yield which was higher by 2.6 times as compared to rice fallow (4.46 t ha−1). Also, the net return from this system (Indian rupees 70141 ha−1) was higher by 2.3 times, after considering the fixed cost towards construction of a water recycling pond. An increase in carbon stock in soil for the four years study period was 0.66 Mg ha−1 year−1 with the agriwaste recycling system under organic nutrition. For the inorganic fertilizer plot, the increase in carbon stock was 0.53 Mg ha−1 year−1. A decrease in bulk density from 1.56 to 1.46 Mg m−3, increase in water holding capacity from 0.43 to 0.52 cm3 cm−3 and increase in available P and K content in soil from 38.0 and 174.7 kg ha−1 to 45.8 and 186.5 kg ha−1, respectively, were noted. Thus, recycling of agricultural waste at the farm level is useful in improving soil health and crop productivity.

Sanitary landfilling is the most common method of removing urban solid waste in developing countries. Landfills contain high levels of organic materials, ammonia, and heavy metals, thereby producing leachate which causes a possible future pollution of ground and surface water. Recently, agricultural waste was considered a co-substratum to promote the biodegradation of organics in industrial wastewater. The use of low-cost and natural materials for wastewater treatment is now being considered by many researchers. In this study, palm oil mill effluent (POME) was used for treating stabilized leachate from old landfill. A set of preliminary experiments using different POME/leachate ratios and aeration times was performed to identify the setting of experimental design and optimize the effect of employing POME on four responses: chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), color, and ammoniacal nitrogen (NH3-N). The treatment efficiency was evaluated based on the removal of four selected (responses) parameters. The optimum removal efficiency for COD, TSS, color, and NH3-N was 87.15%, 65.54%, 52.78%, and 91.75%, respectively, using a POME/leachate mixing ratio of 188.32 mL/811.68 mL and 21 days of aeration time. The results demonstrate that POME-based agricultural waste can be effectively employed for organic removal from leachate.

The purpose was to determine the difference of blood clinicopathological changes between type I and type II ketosis in dairy cow. Fifty-eight cows, from dairy cattle farm in Heilongjiang of China, were included. An ELISA test was used to evaluate the blood indicators. The plasma concentrations of beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) and insulin sensitivity decreased, and the plasma concentration of glucose (Glc), non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) and bilirubin content increased in type II ketosis group compared with the type I ketosis group. These results showed that there was a difference in etiology between type II ketosis and type I ketosis. Type II ketosis was not only associated with energy metabolism and insulin resistance, but also with oxidative stress and liver function. It laid the foundation for further investigate the mechanism and prevention of type II ketosis in the future.

Upaya meningkatkan produksi dan produktivitas lahan pertanian saat ini bukan hal yang mudah karena ketersediaan lahan pertanian yang relatif tetap, bahkan cenderung berkurang karena berbagai faktor. Salah satu alternatif yang bisa dilakukan dalam jangka pendek adalah memperbaiki kesuburan lahan tandus yang selama ini digunakan masyarakat petani sebagai sumber mata pencahariannya. Tujuan dari program pengabdian kepada masyarakat bagi mitra petani adalah mengintroduksikan teknologi biochar untuk memperbaiki lahan kritis (tandus dan berbatu) dan mengevaluasi usahatan yang ada. Metode yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah penyuluhan dan pelatihan pembuatan biochar (teknologi), pemberian bantuan alat pembuat biochar dan bibit tanaman, serta pendampingan kepada petani mitra di Desa Jetak, Kecamatan Montong, Kabupaten Tuban. Petani mulai memahami teknologi biochardan manfaatnya bagi usahatani di lahan kritis, menggunakan teknologi biochar, dan manajemen usahatani berbasis teknologi biochar. Petani telah sadar bahwa aplikasi biochar dapat menurunkan biaya usahatani karena dibuat dari limbah pertanian yang tersedia berlimpah. Alat produksi biochar relatif murah dan terjangkau bagi petani yang ingin memperbaiki kondisi lahannya yang kritis.Kata kunci: Biochar; Lahan Kritis; Teknologi Sederhana.AbstractEfforts to increase production and productivity of agricultural land at this time is not easy because the availability of agricultural land is relatively fixed, and even tends to decrease due to various factors. One alternative that can be done in the short term is to improve the fertility of the barren land that has been used by the farming community as a source of livelihood. The aim of the community service program for farmer partners is to introduce biochar technology to improve critical land (barren and rocky) and evaluate existing farming. The methods used to achieve these objectives are counseling and training in making biochar (technology), providing assisting in making biochar tools and plant seeds, as well as assistance to partner farmers in Jetak Village, Montong District, Tuban District. Farmers are beginning to understand biochar technology and its benefits for farming on degraded land, using biochar technology, and farm management based on biochar technology. Farmers are aware that biochar application can reduce farming costs because it is made from abundant available agricultural waste. Biochar production equipment is relatively inexpensive and affordable for farmers who want to improve their critical land conditions.Keywords: Appropriate Technology; Biochar; Critical Land.
