Abstrak: Broiler farming is one of the potential business because there is still a gap between demand and supply. In addition, this business has a rapid turnover of capital. However, this business is high risk and requires substantial capital. One of the strategy that is used to overcome the problem is a partnership. Cogreg Village is one of the broiler producing areas in Bogor District. Most of the broiler farming in Cogreg are small and conventional farm. That is managed by a partnership like, which the partnership is different from broiler partnership in general. The objectives of this study are to analyze the partnership and to compare the farm performance between partnership and independent broiler farm in Cogreg Village, Parung Subdistrict, Bogor Regency. Broiler business partnerships in the Cogreg Village uses sharing system. The results showed that production, income, and the R/ C ratio of farmer partners are higher than independent farmers on each scale. This proves that the partnership has a positive effect on production and income broiler farming. However, based on a qualitative analysis can be said that the benefits sharing is not balanced. The benefits that received by company is much higher than the farmer’s.

Judul: Analisis Pelaksanaan Kemitraan Ayam Broiler pada CV. Barokah dan Pendapatan antara Peternak Mitra dan Peternak Mandiri di Kabupaten Bogor
Abstrak: Independent broiler farmers in Bogor District are generally characterized by small scale and face capital constraints, simple cultivation technology, less resource management, price and production risks. These constraints and limitations in broiler business will give an impact on farmers’ income. High risk of broiler raising leads to the needs of knowledge in minimizing the risk. One effort to minimize the risk of broiler business is partnership program. This study aims to (1) describe the implementation of partnership run by CV. Barokah with partner farmers, (2) analyze the characteristics of independent and partner farmers, and (3) analyze the income of partner and independent farmers. Farm management analysis was conducted using primary and secondary data. The results showed that the partnerships could provide benefits to farmers by providing production inputs, technical guidance on broiler raising and buying the products. Characteristics of partner and independent farmers were not much different. These characteristics include age, gender, education, and experience of broiler raising. Income analysis showed that partner farmers’ income was greater than independent farmers’ income. Thus, the partnership can provide benefits to farmers in increasing income.

Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
