Community Empowerment Through Trainning Utilization About Natural Resources In The Escalation Of Natural Resources In Tumut, Boyolali

Tumut village is the highest hamlet located in Jrakah Village, Selo District, Boyolali Regency. Most of the livelihoods of the village Tumut community are farmers and ranchers. Besides having natural resources in the agricultural sector, also has potential in the livestock sector. Most of the hamlet communities own livestock. The livestock sector in village Tumut is not optimized due to the lack of public knowledge about how to raise livestock properly. In the dry season, farmers only rely on the rest of the grass for animal feed without providing adequate nutrition to livestock. Forage feed can be developed to be one way to meet the nutrition and protein of livestock by processing feed fermentation. Rice straw is one of the ingredients that can be used in the fermentation process to improve the quality of animal feed. Through training on feed management by means of fermentation, it can help improve the quality of livestock and be able to overcome community problems. The method used in this training is in the form of socialization and counseling and followed by direct practice regarding feed processing with the fermentation method to residents. The result of the value fermentation method is in the form of animal feed which has higher nutrition and can make it easier for farmers to find feed for livestock. Where the results of the feed produced can also last longer than ordinary grass feed.

Mesin Pakan Otomatis Guna Meningkatkan Produktifitas Ternak Lele di Desa Sumbersari, Jember Jawa Timur

Catfish is one of the freshwater fish whose demand is increasing every year, both in the form of fresh fish and processed foods. This increase in demand along with the ease of maintenance has made catfish a cultivated commodity that is widely eyed by fish farmers. One of the important aspects in fish farming is the provision of fish feed, although it is relatively easy, but feed management is needed to increase fish production targets. The fish feeding method mostly uses manual sowing on the surface of the pond. This method has weaknesses in terms of labor requirements and the time required if catfish farmers have many ponds, especially if the breeders forget the schedule for fish feeding. The method of implementing this community service consists of socializing activities, presenting material, directing the steps for making automatic fish feeding tools, tool making practices, tool testing and evaluation. The manufacture of this automatic fish feed tool generally consists of making the body of the tool and the assembly of the timer module components. This activity was attended by 20 people who are members of the SYSGA group in Sumbersari District, a community group engaged in catfish farming. The activity went smoothly, the participants seemed enthusiastic during the activity. Further monitoring is needed to determine the level of effectiveness and efficiency of catfish production by breeders after the use of automatic fish feed equipment.

The role of nutrition and feeding in equine weight management

Increasing awareness of the prevalence of overweight and obese horses has shed light on to the importance of appropriate nutrition and feed management within weight loss programmes. The review presents a basic approach to weight loss programme design and appropriate feeding and shows that while there is sufficient information upon which to base weight loss programmes, the findings of recent research into compliance and communication is likely to improve future success. Further education for livery yards and establishments is also a pivotal piece of the weight loss puzzle. There is still ground with regard to the most appropriate conserved forage, and a shift in responsibilities and mindset when it comes to forage analysis may be required. Ultimately, success may lie in a multidisciplinary team approach to weight recognition and management, and the development of a framework for fostering and maintaining communication across paraprofessionals and owners is an essential first step.

Enhancing performance of Murrah Buffalo through improved probiotic feed management in Kapau Village, Agam Regency

This study aims to improve the production performance of Murrah buffalo which covers average weight gain, feed consumption, and feed conversion by increasing probiotic feed. The research was conducted on the herd of Murrah buffalo at Kelok Rambai, Kapau Village, West Sumatera, Indonesia. Fifteen Murrah buffaloes with three to five years of age were used in the research. There were three treatments conducted including P1 = basal feed + probiotics; P2 = P1 + concentrate (cassava leaf pellet); and P3 = P1 + commercial concentrate (pellet). All three treatments were also given 7 cc/head/month of probiotics. The results of the study with probiotic feeding on Murrah buffalo showed the average feed consumption of P2 (36.55), P3 (35.99), P1 (35.74) and daily weight gain (DWG) P2 (1.09 kg/head/day), P3 (0.91 kg/head/day), P1 (0.55 kg/head/day) did not show a significant difference, while in feed conversion, P2 (0.68 ), P1 (0.46), P3 (0. 31) it showed a significant difference (p>0.05). This study concludes that the provision of basal ration plus cassava leaf pellets showed significant results on feed conversion in Murrah buffalo but did not show significant differences in feed consumption and DWG. However, it showed a substantial enough average of P2 that could be used as a feed supplement in Murrah buffalo.

Pratiques et contraintes de l’élevage de la chèvre rousse de Maradi en milieu rural au Niger

Au Niger, l’élevage caprin occupe une place importante dans l’économie des ménages ruraux. Une étude a été conduite dans la région de Maradi afin de caractériser les pratiques de gestion des élevages des chèvres rousses et analyser leurs contraintes. Ainsi, 180 agro-éleveurs répartis dans 12 villages de la région ont été questionnés. Les thèmes abordés au cours des interviews ont porté sur : les caractéristiques du ménage, les objectifs de production, le mode de conduite des animaux, la gestion de l’alimentation, la santé animale ainsi que les contraintes auxquelles les producteurs font face. Les résultats ont révélé que la majorité (72,8%) des propriétaires des caprins sont des femmes. Les caprins sont élevés en priorité comme épargne pour subvenir aux besoins du ménage. Pendant la saison sèche, plus de la moitié (51%) des éleveurs font recours à l’achat du son de blé pour la complémentation des animaux. Diverses sources des compléments minéraux sont utilisées, notamment le sel de cuisine, les pierres à lécher, le natron et le sel de Bilma. La pénurie d’aliments a été identifiée comme la contrainte majeure de l’élevage caprin (57,8%). Elle est suivie par les maladies animales (17,2%) et la stabulation en saison de pluies (7, 8%). L’amélioration de l’élevage de la chèvre rousse passe par la prise en compte de toutes les contraintes de production. English title: Practices and constraints of Maradi red goat breeding in rural areas in Niger In Niger, goat farming plays an important role in the economy of rural households. A study was conducted in the Maradi region to characterize the management practices of red goat farms and analyze their constraints. Thus, 180 agro-pastoralists spread out in 12 villages of the region were questioned. The themes addressed during the interviews included: household characteristics, production objectives, animal husbandry, feed management, animal health and the constraints faced by producers. The results revealed that the majority (72,8%) of goat owners were women. The feeding system is based on natural pastures and crop residues. During the dry season, more than half (51%) of the farmers used wheat bran for animal complementation. Various sources of mineral supplements are used, including cooking salt, lickstones, natron and Bilma salt. Food shortage has been identified as the major constraint to goat farming (57.8%), followed by animal diseases (17.2%) and stalling during the rainy season (7.8%). The improvement of the breeding of the red goat requires the taking into account of all the constraints of production.
