Abstract

"Activist Farm" is a sheep and goat farm that was established aimed at increasing the income of farmers and has the concept of integrating livestock whose target is to meet the protein needs of the community and the fulfillment of livestock seeds as a center for goat and sheep production in North Sumatra province. The limited knowledge and skills in raising livestock such us to procurement of feed ingredients, ration formulation and maintenance management encouraged coaching team from University of sumatera utara to provide assistance / coaches. Several technologies from research results of the university can be applied, so that they can motivated farmers to increase their business, increase farmer income and in order to support protein resilience during a pandemic. As a solution in overcoming this problem, it is necessary to increase knowledge and skills in the cultivation of goats, the introduction of alternative sources of feed ingredients (feed ingredients based on agricultural by-products, plantations, food processing industries) and livestock waste processing to support the productivity of goats to reduce production costs, making complete silage feed, making probiotics and formulating goat and sheep rations. The specific target of this activity is that farmers are able to determine potential alternative feed to be given for goats, are able to make probiotics for fermentation, complete fermentation and formulate rations, understand good farm management and efforts to improve biosecurity in supporting livestock health and the environment. The service method is packaged in the form of lectures, discussions, demonstrations, training and pilot projects. Service activities are summarized in a guidebook in the form of a Goat and Sheep Maintenance Management Module. From this activity, it is targeted that there will be cost efficiency (savings in animal feed costs because it can utilize alternative sources of feed ingredients), formulating and making independent concentrate feed, savings in the cost of purchasing probiotics and organic fertilizer fermentation methods.

Abstract

Breeders experience difficulties in providing grass as animal feed due to the narrowness of grazing land and changes in the function of land where agricultural land has become oil palm plantations. Farmers only expect the grass that is under the oil palm plants. Farmers have difficulty getting grass for their livestock when there is less grass under the palm trees, especially during the dry season. It is necessary to transfer the technology of utilizing palm leaves and fronds as quality and continuously available sheep feed. This can be overcome by applying the manufacture of MOL and Amphoteric feed from palm leaves and fronds. The method applied to this service activity is the transfer of knowledge in the form of socialization activities in the form of: 1) Introduction to types of plantation and agro-industrial waste that can be used as alternative forages and concentrates, (2) Formulation of sheep feed, (3) Manufacturing technology MOL, (4) manufacture of amphoteric feed, and 5) Monitoring and assistance. Socialization is done by training and lecture methods. The lecture activity was finished, followed by a question and answer session between the participants and the speakers. The results of the farmer's activities found out how to make MOL from palm leaves and fronds which are used to manufacture amphoteric feed. The knowledge and skills possessed by these breeders are expected to overcome the difficulties of breeders in providing grass, as well as to increase the productivity of sheep.
