Abstract

Complete feed is very crucial for cattle development in Indonesia. This study analyzed the technical and economical use of complete feed from agricultural waste to developing beef cattle in Indonesia. Agricultural waste is arranged into a complete feed based on crude protein and total digestible nutrients. Experimental research and survey research was used in the study. Experimental research used five feeds, namely T0 (feed usually given by farmers), T1 (12% CP, 60 TDN), T2 (12% CP, 63% TDN), T3 (12% CP, 66% TDN), T4 (12% CP, 69% TDN). The technical parameters observed were dry matter digestibility, organic matter digestibility, rumen VFA, and rumen NH3. Data analysis uses Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and if there is a difference, it is continued with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The economic analysis is revenue, feed costs, and income over feed cost (IOFC). Survey research was conducted on ten beef cattle farmers to analyze the differences between farmers who used complete feed and those who did not. The results showed a difference between complete feed T1-T4 and feed T0 (control). The T3 feed (12% CP, 66% TDN) yielded the best results. Farmers who use complete feed show higher yields compared to farmers who do not use complete feed. Fattening beef cattle with a total of 10 heads with a rearing period of 90 days produced was Rp 9,100,000 with an R/C ratio was 1.05. The conclusion from this study is that using complete feed from agricultural waste can increase the income of beef cattle farmers. This complete feed can be recommended for developing beef cattle in Indonesia.

Abstract

Central Java Province is one of the provinces with the potential to be a source of beef cattle. The increase in the beef cattle population in Central Java province is expected to increase the national beef cattle population significantly. This study aims to assess the potential of beef cattle and develop a strategy for its development in the Province of Central Java. A study was done using the survey method, and secondary data were obtained from related agencies. Samples were taken using the stratified proportional method as many as 112 farmers. Data were analyzed using LQ analysis, trend analysis, and SWOT analysis.  LQ analysis showed that beef cattle's potential base area was in the Grobogan Regency and Kendal Regency. Estimation of beef cattle population in Central Java Province based on trend analysis shows that the areas of Salatiga City, Demak Regency and Grobogan Regency have the potential to become beef cattle base areas. Based on the carrying capacity, areas that can potentially increase livestock populations are Semarang Regency, Salatiga City, and Grobogan Regency. The results of the SWOT analysis show that the right strategy in developing beef cattle is in quadrant I, namely supporting the growth of an aggressive strategy that uses strength to gain opportunities. The recommendation that can be given from this study is that the implementation of strategies in each region will differ according to the potential of each region.
