Published: May 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to calculate feed intake, fiber fraction digestibility and milk yield of lactating goats fed banana peel in the diet. Randomized block design with four treatments were used in this study. Sixteen Etawa crossbreed goats fed diet contain 12% crude protein and 68% total digestible nutrients. The treatmen was the use of banana peels with different level in diet: T1 = 0% banana peels; T2 = 5% banana peels; T3 = 10% banana peels and T4 = 15% banana peels. The findings indicated that the use of banana peels in diet significantly increase (P<0.01) organic matter intake (1.609-1.690 kg day−1), and crude protein intake (0.246-0.251 kg day−1), but no significant impact (P>0.05) was discovered on cellulose digestibility (61.48 - 63.83%) and hemicellulose digestibility (66.01-66.44%). The milk yield did not differ significantly either (P>0.05) with the value of 1.36-1.50 kg day−1. It can be concluded that banana peels was palatable and using 15% banana peels can maintain milk yield and digestibility of fiber fraction in lactating goats.

Abstract
Three cultivars of Cenchrus purpureus (cvs. Cipelang, Biograss, and Mott) grown on Sandy Vertisol Soil at Naibonat, West Timor-Indonesia were evaluated for their biomass production (leaf, leaf sheath, and stem) and some agronomic characters (plant height, stem diameter, leaf length, and leaf width). Plants were planted in rows of 1 m x 1 m at 6 m length in a Block Randomized arrangement and replicated four times. Plants were established in October 2021 by watering using sprinklers during the dry season (just to keep the soil moist enough to still encourage growth) and under rainfall during the wet season (rainfall data presented). Harvests were conducted in 2022 (wet and dry season). No chemical fertilizer was applied, however, 3 kgs of manure were applied in each planting hole, and the soil surface of the plot was evenly covered by dry leaves of bamboo collected from nearby the plot. Data collected were then subjected to Analysis of Variance using the SPSS program and means were compared using the List Significant Difference (LSD) test. Biomass production was significantly different between cv Mott compared with Cipelang and Biograss, however, there was no significant difference recorded between Cipelang and Biograss at each harvest as well as for one-year total biomass production.

Abstract
Low immune systems and bacterial infections are the main cause of the high mortality of buffalo calves. The study aimed to investigate the effect of probiotics addition (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus acidophilus) on the performance of pre-weaned buffalo. The study used 20 pre-weaned buffalo (4-6 months old and an average body weight of 163.53 kg). They were grouped into the Treatment group fed fresh chopped elephant grass and concentrate plus the probiotics; and Control group without the probiotics. The probiotics were offered daily orally using a drenching gun. The parameters measured were body weight, feed consumption, and hematological parameters. The results showed that probiotics increase the average daily gain of calves (P<0.05). The two probiotics have no significant effect on dry matter, protein and energy intake, and feed digestibility. There was an increase in the white blood cell content on calves supplemented with the probiotics, indicating the improvement of the immune system. Conversely, decreasing the white blood cell content in calves who did not receive the probiotics showed a decline in the immune system of the calves. It is concluded that the probiotic improved animal health and body weight gain in pre-weaned buffalo.

Published: May 2024

AbstractThis research paper thoroughly analyzes a constructed model that aims to investigate the intricate dynamics of beef supply and demand in Indonesia. The main aim of this study is to enhance comprehension of the diverse factors that influence beef supply and demand within Indonesia’s beef production system. The disparity between beef consumption and beef production in Indonesia has been acknowledged as contributing to the nation’s reliance on beef imports, impacting food security inside the country. The per capita beef consumption in Indonesia remains relatively low compared to the global average. Indonesia has achieved a level of beef self-sufficiency amounting to 71%. However, the Indonesian government has set a goal of attaining a 90% fulfillment of domestic production to satisfy the increasing demand of the people adequately. This research utilizes a qualitative system dynamics methodology to examine the impacts of pricing, cow population, and beef production technology in Indonesia by applying causal loop and stock-flow diagrams. The findings of this study will offer significant insights to assist the government in understanding the causal relationships between several factors related to the improvement of beef production policies in Indonesia.

Abstract
This study aims to analyze the disharmony of policies that have been implemented by the government in this case to review several regulations that have been established that do not support each other in efforts to develop beef cattle production in Indonesia. In this study, sampling used several regulations that were not aligned, namely in Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 41 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 18 of 2009 concerning Livestock and Animal Health, Government Regulation Number 11 of 2022 concerning Amendments to Government Regulation Number 4 of 2016 concerning the Entry of Livestock and / or Animal Products in certain cases originating from a country or zone In the Country of Origin, Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture Number 41 of 2019 concerning the Entry of Large Ruminants into the Territory of the Republic of Indonesia. The research method is carried out with the Normative Research method using Primary Legal Materials, namely laws and regulations, secondary legal materials, namely data from law books, legal texts, legal articles, legal journals. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the failure to develop beef cattle production in Indonesia occurs due to several laws and regulations that are not in harmony with both higher and lower regulations. Laws, Government Regulations and Regulations of the Minister of Agriculture issued as well as Decrees of the Minister of Agriculture have discrepancies in the implementation of these policies. Based on these results, it can be seen that there are several conflicting laws and regulations, based on the Lex Superior Derogat Legi Inferiori Principle states that lower regulations must not conflict with higher regulations, so a policy is taken if they conflict with higher laws and regulations. The above regulation is by itself declared null and void.

Abstract
Endemic Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreaks are a threat to animal husbandry, especially beef cattle in Indonesia. As a response to the emergence of the outbreak, appropriate management policies are needed to minimize losses, considering that the majority of animal husbandry in Indonesia is small businesses. This study aimed to find out the government’s policy response in handling FMD in Indonesia since it was first discovered (28 April 2022) in Gresik, East Java to early 2023. This research method uses a qualitative method with a case study approach sourced from government data in the form of publications, reports, statutory policies, statistics, and regulatory literature studies issued by the government in response to the outbreak. The results of the research show that the government implemented various policies to control FMD outbreaks starting from the pre-crisis evaluation stage with the existence of Law Number 41 of 2014 and Law Number 21 of 2019 and the derivative regulations under them. In the second phase, pre-crisis preparedness, the government responds to outbreaks in several districts in East Java and Aceh to designate them as FMD pandemic areas. In the third stage, crisis response through organizational coordination is carried out with the cooperation of Pentahelix from various sectors and layers of society in handling FMD. Finally, after recovery and investigation, the government realized the importance of vaccination and outreach, especially to smallholder farmers in Indonesia.

Abstract
Small-scale circular farming models have great potential for rural families’ circular economy and food sustainability but many local residents do not see this as an opportunity to improve their well-being. This descriptive-correlation research was conducted to assess the profile and motivation of integrated small farmers towards the small circular economy farming model. The research participants were farmers in Isabela Province who integrated free-range chickens, pigs, small ruminants and food crops on their small farms. This research mostly involved women, aged 51 to 60 years, married, educated, involved in integrated farming. Most of the participants raised less than 50 free-range chickens, 5 pigs did not receive integrated livestock management training and earned less than 10 thousand pesos from integrated farming. Respondents are generally motivated in integrated small-scale farming. In essence, respondents are integrated small farmers because they like farming because of its health benefits and can be a source of additional income for the family. Extrinsically, respondents are motivated to carry out integrated farming because they believe that integrated farming will be a strong industry in the future, and a stable market is available. Male and female respondents have comparable internal and external motivations in integrated farming. Intrinsically, respondents who are older, married and unemployed, highly educated, raise less than 50 free-range chickens, 3 pigs, and earn less than 10 thousand are more motivated to run an integrated small livestock business. Extrinsically, respondents who are older, widower, and highly educated, and have more chickens, pigs, and income from raising free-range chickens, work in the public sector, and raise more livestock have greater motivation to raise integrated agriculture. The study reveals that small-scale integrated agriculture has a positive impact on farmer motivation, thereby creating the potential for a small circular economy for rural families.

Published: May 2024

AbstractSwiftlet’s nests have become a part of Indonesia’s superior export commodity. Indonesia is the largest swiftlet nest-producing and exporting country in the world, contributing 85% of the global demand. Bangka Belitung Province region produces good quality swiftlet nests. This research was used to analyze various factors driving the disparities in production and quality of swiftlet nests between coastal and city areas and to alayze the management of swiftlet nests in supporting export activities. This research is a case study in Bangka Belitung Province. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method and a comparative case study. The results showed that the factors causing disparities in nest production and yields between coastal and urban areas were geographical location, agro-climate, building feasibility, building structure, food vegetation, and swiftlet-calling techniques. Export management is carried out by fulfilling export requirements, grading, back-up marketing, waste management, and drawing up regional regulations. Therefore, a synergy is needed between the central government, local governments, breeders, the Agricultural Quarantine Center, and exporting companies to monitor and maintain the quality and quantity of swiftlet nests so that they become a source of regional income for the Bangka Belitung Province and national income.

Abstract
Dairy goat is a type of goat that is able to produce milk in an amount that exceeds the needs of its children. Dairy goats are a dual-purpose type of goat because in addition to producing milk, their meat can also be consumed. One of the dairy goat groups in Aceh Besar District is the Meunasah Mon Group, which is located in Gampong Meunasah Mon, Mesjid Raya District. Until now there is no definite data regarding goat milk production, especially in Aceh Besar District. This is because there are not many quality goat farms and goat milk is still not much in demand in the region. Competition for goat milk producers in the region is also low. Livestock business economic analysis is carried out to analyze the balance between income and business. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the dairy goat farming business in Meunasah Mon Village, Mesjid Raya District, Aceh Besar District can be declared eligible. This is evidenced by the results of the analysis where the B/C and R/C ratios were 1.55 and 1.80 respectively and the total income/revenue was Rp. 2,786,000 per month with sales of 53.12 liters (1 ltr/bottle) of fresh milk products.

Abstract
Community needs for animal protein sources such as meat is increasing along with population growth. The need for beef in Indonesia continues to increase, especially in Aceh Province. According to data from the Directorate General of Animal Husbandry and Animal Health, Ministry of Agriculture, (2021), the number of beef cattle in Aceh in 2021 was 66,764 head. The increasing public demand for beef supply must be balanced with abundant feed biodiversity. Alternative feed sources other than forage can be fulfilled through the utilization of waste. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of fermenting water hyacinth, palm fronds, and sago stems on the performance and analysis of Aceh’s cattle fattening business. The material used in this study were 4 young male Acehnese cattle aged 12 months. This research used a Latin Square Design, with four treatments and four periods (repetitions). The results showed that complete feed based on fermented water hyacinth, palm fronds, and sago stems on the average consumption of dry matter is 5.46, Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC) Rp2,842,268 during maintenance and daily body weight gain (PBBH) 340 grams/head/day. This study showed that feeding fermented water hyacinth, palm fronds, and sago stems resulted in a moderate level of feed efficiency with an efficiency value of 6.23%.
