Solutions and problem solving that will be carried out starting from: Organizing program socialization, training and practice of planting superior forage forage, training and practice of fermented feed processing technology, training and practice of livestock cultivation management, training on waste management management, making group cages, and strengthening training institutions and market access. The target of this activity is to empower farmers to be able to identify local feed ingredients, plant superior forage forage, apply fermented feed processing technology, proper cultivation management, and livestock management is carried out in group cages. The output of this program is that it can apply several aspects in the field of community service, especially related to animal husbandry, including the following: (a) adoption of fermented feed technology, (b) feed independence, (c) livestock rearing in group cages.
