Abstract

Probiotics are microorganisms that are beneficial to the host and can improve the intestine's microflora. For ruminants in Indonesia, high numbers of cellulolytic microorganisms are needed to utilize forage or agricultural waste as efficiently as possible in producing the nutrients needed by livestock. Therefore, a feed additive is needed to improve the rumen function's performance, and one of them is probiotics. Solid and liquid probiotics have several advantages, namely containing live microbial cultures that are desirable and beneficial for livestock through increasing the balance of digestive microbes and playing a role in providing enzymes that can digest crude fibre and lactic acid bacteria. Probiotics also can produce anti-microbial ingredients (bacteriocins) to inhibit the growth of unfavourable microbes. The use of microorganism supplements (probiotics) has been socialized in the Nagari Ampang Pulai, Koto XI Tarusan District, and Pesisir Selatan Regency. The efficiency of using agricultural waste probiotics in cattle rations as much as 10 ml/head/day is expected to increase body weight gain by 0.70 kg/head/day, according to an experiment at the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Andalas University. In general, liquid probiotics are more effective as feed additives when compared to solid probiotics in rice straw and concentrate-based rations.

Abstract

Forage is all food ingredients derived from plants, in the form of leaves, sometimes including stems, twigs, and flowers. Included are grasses, legumes and other plants. All can be fed for ruminants in two forms, i.e. fresh and dry forage. Forages contain almost all the substances animals need. The urgency of forage becomes a crucial point in increasing livestock productivity. The success of a livestock business depends on its feed management. Feed requirements of each animal vary according to the type, age, body weight, environmental conditions and physiological conditions of livestock. Community engagement was carried out with the Batu Kalang Indah cattle group. As many as 20 farmers attended the counselling activity. In addition to socialization activities, 4,000 stalks of grass were also planted, under the name King Grass, using a demonstration method for the groups. The community service activities carried out were responded to positively by the Batu Kalang Indah cattle group.

Abstract

Livestock health is a crucial aspect of farm management efforts. Managing livestock health should be a primary concern in order to reduce the risks of losses experienced by farmers due to animal diseases. Furthermore, managing livestock health can improve welfare, productivity, resource efficiency, and the sustainability of farming operations. This activity aims to provide knowledge about the health and management of beef cattle, as well as health services helpful in mitigating the impacts of animal diseases. This activity is carried out in the Rindang Alam area, Koto Lua Village, Pauh District, Padang City. The target audience is the Mak Uniang livestock group. This activity involves lecturers, technicians, and students from the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Andalas University. The method used is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), where partnering lecturers directly act as facilitators and can facilitate the community/partners in implementing activities. The participatory learning method is used to achieve the activity targets. The implementation producers of the activity use several PRA application techniques, including education, demonstration, and activity evaluation. The activity results show an increase in farmers' understanding of livestock health management, with a value reaching 90% (perfect). Meanwhile, the training activities conducted include providing vitamins, deworming drugs, and butoxy spraying. This activity has received a high response from the community and has even improved farmers' understanding. From this activity, it can be concluded that managing livestock health should be a primary concern to reduce the risks of losses experienced by farmers due to animal diseases. Furthermore, managing livestock health can improve welfare, productivity, resource efficiency, and the sustainability of farming operations.
