Abstract

Boyolali Regency had a very high potential in the production of cow milk. This area dominated as much as 65% of the dairy cow population in Central Java. However, Boyolali Regency farmers found difficulties in avoiding various diseases that attack dairy cattle, such as the anthrax outbreak which became an Extraordinary Event in 2011. Therefore, the government made an innovation as a solution to anticipate the outbreak through the Cattle Monitoring System named in Indonesian as Sistem Monitoring Sapi (which later called SIMAPI as the acronym). This study aimed to describe the innovation of increasing the empowerment of dairy farmers in providing livestock logistics to anticipate an anthrax outbreak in Boyolali Regency based on information technology This study used a qualitative descriptive method. The data collection techniques used interview method, observation, and document analysis. The data validity technique used in this research was triangulation method and interactive analysis model was used as data analysis technique. SIMAPI was an innovation that has been carried out by Boyolali Regency since 2008. This system recorded each dairy cow owned by the farmer, by placing an ear tag on the ear of the cow in the form of a label labeled with a barcode made from atomic plastic. This application could accommodate 7.000 characters of information related to the identity of cows and farmers, to the health condition of the cow. Farmers or buyers can scan the ear tag barcode with the SIMAPI application to find out the health history of the cow. In the future, SIMAPI needs to be developed, considering that there were some data which need to be synchronized with other institutions, such as the Slaughterhouse or in Indonesian called Rumah Pemotongan Hewan (RPH).SIMAPI is a solution in increasing the empowerment of cattle farmers in dealing with anthrax outbreaks in Boyolali Regency. The selling value of cattle has stabilized, and buyers have given trust to cattle farmers again.

Abstract

Boyolali Regency is one of the largest cow milk producers in Indonesia. This region controls 20% of the national demand for cow’s milk and 72% of the demand for cow’s milk in Central Java. However, Boyolali Regency is very often hit by the drought, which affects the residents’ dairy farms. Farmers have difficulty in fulfilling animal feed logistics, including clean water and green feed sourced from grasses. Ironically, the farmers have to sell some of their dairy cows to cover the operational costs incurred for other cattle. This study aims to design an empowerment model for dairy farmers in providing animal feed logistics during drought due to a long drought in Boyolali Regency. This study is a qualitative descriptive study. This research is using interviews, observation, and document analysis as their data collection techniques. The data validity technique used in this research is the triangulation method, with an interactive analysis model as data analysis. Farmers complain about the provision of animal feed logistics during drought. Farmers are forced to sell their dairy cows to reduce operating costs. Some farmers buy clean water through a 6.000-liter water tank truck for IDR 300,000 per tank, the estimate is that it can be used for the fulfillment of clean water of approximately 10 heads of dairy cows, or about 10 days. Dairy farmer empowerment model needs to be designed by mapping the logistics needs of animal feed during drought. Clean water assistance from the government is not sufficient for farmers' needs, and the fulfillment of green feed has not been touched by government programs. Therefore, the design of this empowerment model requires deep involvement from the government in empowering farmers to have empowerment in dealing with drought.
