Results from the MRDC-ANZ monitor farm programme in the Far North (Omatua Farm Ltd) have involved the adoption or continued use of onfarm technologies such as crossbreeding, yearling mating, regrassing, supplementary feeding, subdivision, fertiliser use, stock policy evaluation and monitoring animal growth rates. These results have substantially improved farm productivity and profitability. Farm business planning has been a significant part of the monitor farm process, leading to a 12% increase in yearly beef produced off the monitor farm. Small farms like Omatua Farm Ltd make up 63% of the beef cattle and sheep farms in the Far North District Council. The potential of the farm monitor-business planning approach on these farms is to improve gross annual income by $20 000. Without improvements in productivity and profitability an increasing amount of beef cattle farm land in the area is likely to end up in an alternative land use.

The development of a directed and sustainable beef cattle farm can be achieved if the development strategy plan is based on existing real problems. This study aims to determine the priority of beef cattle farm development strategies in Semarang Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia. The A’WOT method was applied in this study, by integrating strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). After determining the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats found in beef cattle farm business, group weights and SWOT factors were calculated using the AHP method, the results of which were the three priority strategies with the highest scores. These strategies can be summarised as follows: (1) optimising the utilisation of forage through silage and hay making, (2) optimising the provision of suitable land and meeting the technical requirements of livestock, and (3) optimising farmers’ ability to access capital. It was concluded that sustainable beef cattle farm business in Semarang Regency could be improved through the application of priority strategies focusing on feed technology, land suitability, and access to capital. Findings also demonstrated that the A’WOT method is useful and effective in determining livestock sector strategies.

Selection Of

The Livestock Sector is one of the most promising agribusiness sectors. The selection of the right type of cow is the duty of cattle farmers to get cows with good quality and greatly affect the success in raising cattle. Decision support system is a system that is able to provide a picture of the decision of the existing situation. And this system is applied to cattle farms to determine the best type of cow for the smooth running of the farm business. The method used is SMART. The samples used were 6 types of cattle and the assessment criteria in the selection of cattle were: Origin, Price, Age, Weight, and Size. The results of this study were the selection of Lemosin cattle as the best type of cattle for beef cattle farming. SPK in Cattle Purchases for Breeding is only a recommendation to the farmer, for the next process to be returned to the farmer.

Zoonotic pathogens are a frequent cause of disease worldwide. This study was designed to determine the occurrence of Clostridium difficile, Clostridium botulinum, and Yersinia enterocolitica in cattle in southern Bavaria, Germany. The study population included 49 farms; 34 were dairy farms (30 also fattening beef cattle) and 15 were solely beef cattle farms. Fecal and dust samples were collected from summer 2011 to summer 2012 and analyzed using a combination of enrichment procedures and real-time PCR. For the detection of C. difficile, samples were screened for the presence of the tpi gene and toxin genes tcdA, tcdB, and cdtA. Samples also were screened for genes for C. botulinum toxins A through F and for the ail gene of Y. enterocolitica. Of 506 samples, C. difficile genes were found in 29 samples (5.7%): 25 samples from dairy farms and 4 samples from beef cattle farms. Toxin genes were identified in 17 samples, with toxigenic profiles of A+B+CDT−, A+B−CDT+, and A+B+CDT+. C. botulinum toxin genes were not detected in fecal samples from cattle, but the gene for toxin B was detected in 1 (0.8%) of 125 dust samples. Y. enterocolitica genes were found in 6 (1.6%) of 382 fecal samples from three dairy farms and one beef cattle farm. This study revealed that C. difficile and Y. enterocolitica are rare on cattle farms in Bavaria, Germany. In contrast to results of previous studies, C. botulinum was not detected in fecal samples but was found very rarely in dust samples from the cattle environment.

Farm monitoring on sheep and beef cattle farms in Northland has been in operation for the past 8 years. The emphasis has been on monitoring the performance of sheep and beef cattle farms to provide the data to encourage group members to make decisions based on objective measurements. Monitor groups were initially supported by extension and science personnel with more recent groups being operated on a commercial basis. Key biological indices such as animal numbers, weights, weight gain, meat and wool production and pasture production are monitored. Group members are encouraged to use information from the monitor farm to identify opportunities on their own farms for improvement in production and income. Significant gains have been made in production but it can take 3 to 5 years for the full benefit to be realised. Pasture production information has been v,ital to identify changes in feed supply from year to year during the monitoring programme. Farm monitoring in the future is likely to be the basis on which farmers will be able to. meet year-round supply of product based on specifications of weight, date and carcass attributes.

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

This study aims to determine the characteristics of breeders with regard to the ability to keep beef cattle in Klampok Village, Sananwetan District, Blitar City. The material in this study concerns beef cattle farms in Klampok sub-district, sananwetan sub-district, Blitar city using quantitative research methods in the form of case studies with 33 farmer respondents. Data collection methods are conducted through surveys, pre-questioned interviews and observation. The results obtained from this study are that the ability to raise beef cattle is appropriate in the category. Breeding experience has a significant effect on the ability to keep beef cattle, as Klampok has had a business for raising beef cattle for a long time, while age and education level have no effect because age and education level in the study area are relative. uniform so that they have no effect, then the number of animal possession has no effect. because the breeders in the Klampok sub-district consider beef cattle only as an afterthought, so it has no significant effect on the ability to keep beef cattle
