Abstract

The Mentawai archipelago is situated to the west of mainland Sumatra and is part of the West Sumatra province. The Mentawai people are indigenous to this archipelago and are well known for their traditional healing practices performed by their Sikerei healers. Only a few studies on the traditional plant medicines of the Mentawai people have been published, which mostly suggest that Zingiberaceae is one of the most widely used families. This study examines the indigenous knowledge of Zingiberaceae by the Mentawai people living in Siberut. Field surveys were undertaken at four locations in the island where the Sikerei healers were interviewed directly to obtain information about medicinal treatments using plants from the Zingiberaceae family. Voucher specimens were collected, dried and deposited at the Herbarium of Andalas University (ANDA), Padang, West Sumatra. The study suggests that at least 32 Zingiberaceae species are used in the Mentawai’s traditional medicines. The floristic aspects, the plant part used, and the type of disease treated are discussed.

Abstract

Kegiatan IPTEKS berbasis dosen & masyarakat (IbDM) ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk diseminasi teknologi budidaya ikan Nila Nirwana secara intensif dalam upaya meningkatkan produktivitas perikanan di Kelurahan Limau Manis, Kecamatan Pauh, Kota Padang dan meningkatkan pengetahuan serta keterampilan petani ikan (masyarakat) Kelurahan Koto Tangah dalam bidang usaha pemeliharaan ikan Nila Nirwana di Sumatera Barat, sehingga diharapkan mereka dapat melakukan pemeliharaan dengan cara/teknik yang baik dan ramah lingkungan. Selain itu kegiatan IbDM ini juga diharapakan mampu mengurangi biaya operasional dalam pemeliharaan ikan Nila Nirwana dan pada akhirnya dapat meningkatkan pendapatan para petani (masyarakat) Kelurahan Limau Manis melalui pengembangan usaha budidaya ikan yang berkelanjutan. Untuk mencapai hasil diseminasi teknologi yang optimal maka sasaran utama IbDM di Kecamatan Pauh ini adalah kelompok tani ikan dan para pembina/pemuka masyarakat Kelurahan Limau Manis yang diharapkan mampu memberikan motivasi kepada petani untuk mensosialisasikan metoda pembuatan pakan formula alternatif untuk pengembangan budidaya ikan Nila Nirwana secara intensif dan ramah lingkungan. Metoda yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah (1) Penyuluhan (ceramah), dengan materi utama : (a) memberikan pengetahuan tentang berbagai macam bahan baku yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk makanan ikan, (b) memberikan pengetahuan tentang penyusunan formula/komposisi makanan buatan, (c) memberikan pengetahuan tentang proses pembuatan makanan buatan (d) menambah pengetahuan masyarakat tentang cara menyimpan pelet yang baik agar lebih tahan lama dan (e) pemberian materi tentang pengujian mutu pakan, baik secara fisika, kimia dan biologis; dan (2) Peragaan pembuatan pakan pelet alternatif untuk budidaya ikan Nila Nirwana secara intensif. Dari hasil kegiatan IbDM ini didapatkan bahwa pengetahuan dan keterampilan kelompok tani Kelurahan Limau Manis Kec. Pauh, Padang sebelum dilaksanakan kegiatan IbDM ini masih sangat rendah. Namun demikian motivasi atau keinginan masyarakat kelompok tani mitra IbDM untuk melakukan usaha budidaya atau pemeliharaan ikan sangat besar. Hal ini terlihat dari keinginan masyarakat kelompok tani mitra IbDM untuk menguasai teknologi pembuatan pakan ikan dari hasil limbah daun dan batang talas yang diproses menjadi tepung relatif cukup tinggi. Lebih jauh dari hasil kegiatan IbDM pada masyarakat ini dapat menambah pengetahuan dan keterampilan masyarakat dalam mencari pakan alternatif untuk pakan ikan sehingga kegiatan budidaya dapat berjalan dengan baik di daerah mitra IbDM. Agar kegiatan budidaya berjalan dengan baik di daerah mitra IbDM perlu dilakukan kegiatan IbDM secara berkelanjutan tentang teknik pembuatan pelet ikan alternatif dan teknik pemeliharaan ikan yang efisien dan efektif. Disamping itu perlu dukungan dana atau pemberian kredit oleh pihak yang berwenang kepada masyarakat atau petani ikan untuk modal pengembangan usahanya.

Abstract

Fish cultivators generally experience difficulties providing quality artificial feed (pellets) due to a lack of knowledge and skills in processing technology and making alternative feeds. Besides that, the costs incurred for feed procurement are relatively large, reaching 70 - 80% of the total production costs. However, the provision of feed is often an obstacle because, in addition to the increasingly high price, the quality of available feed does not always match the nutritional needs needed by Fish. The provision of quality feed for intensively cultivated tilapia dramatically affects the resulting growth and productivity. The higher the quality of the feed, the production will also increase. One of the technologies that can be applied to overcome this problem is the manufacture of alternative formulated diets using local raw materials. The method used in this service activity is the transfer of knowledge presented in the socialization activities in the form of 1) introduction to the types of alternative fish feed ingredients sourced from the area, (2) preparation of artificial tilapia feed formulations, (3) manufacturing technology artificial feed (pellets) and 4) monitoring and assistance. The socialization was carried out in the form of a lecture and was followed by a question and answer session. The results of farmer activities recognize the types of local feed that can be used as fish feed, know the preparation of feed formulations, and alternative artificial feed manufacturing technologies. The knowledge and skills possessed by fish cultivators are expected to overcome the difficulties of fish farmers in providing feed so that fish production and cultivation business increase.

Abstract

The problems faced by farmers are the high price of feed and the socio-economic problems of livestock. The solutions offered are counseling, application of ration technology and assistance related to science of feed (nutritious and low-priced feed formulations), application of ration formulas by breeders, guidance and counseling on socio-economic problems for instance entrepreneurship, marketing and business development. The objective of the activity is to increase farmers' knowledge about rations (low price ration formulations) and socio-economic problems of livestock. Meanwhile, the benefit of the activity is to help develop the quail farming micro business as a form of institutional care for the community around the campus and to improve community service performance and the application of University’s innovation. The stages of the activity implementation began with counseling on quail farming, counseling on rations and application of ration formulation technology, and evaluation. The results of the activity indicated that the extension activities carried out had increased farmers' knowledge about low-priced feed and ration formulations. In addition, counseling in the economic sector is able to provide knowledge to farmers about entrepreneurship for their livestock businesses.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge about the formulation of low-priced quail rations and the economic aspects of the business, i.e. entrepreneurship, marketing and business development. The quail farmers incorporated in Women Farmer Group named KWT Melati Mini Koto Lua located in Pauh District, Padang City. They were also given knowledge and training on maggot farming of Black Soldier Fly larvae as a protein source for fish meal replacement for quail's ration. This activity impacts the development of community quail farming which is a manifestation of Andalas University's concern as a higher education institution for the community around campus and improves the performance of community service and the application of innovation by Andalas University. The stages of implementing the activities were counselling on quail maintenance management, developing unconventional rations, applying ration formulation technology and low-priced rations. The activity was followed by providing Hammer Mill machines for ration processing by farmers. The activity has impacted farmers' knowledge about feed ingredients and low-priced ration formulations for quail, the use of unconventional feed ingredients as quail feed ingredients, maggot farming as a protein source feed ingredient for poultry and quail rearing management. Counselling in entrepreneurship has provided farmers knowledge about various things related to business managing that are useful for developing quail farming businesses. Implementing rations by processing their low-cost rations for quail breeders showed that the rations provided were of good enough quality. The ration application in quail farming did not affect the production of quail eggs, reducing the cost of rations, which can ultimately increase farmers' income.
