ABSTRAKSalah satu faktor yang memegang peranan penting dalam meningkatkan produksi ternak ruminansia adalah tersedianya hijauan makanan ternak yang berkualitas sepanjang tahun. Hijauan makanan ternak yang berkualitas terutama terdiri dari rumput rumputan sebagai sumber energi dan leguminosa sebagai sumber protein. Di Indonesia, khususnya di Bali, petani ternak masih banyak memanfaatkan rumput lapangan sebagai pakan ternaknya, karena lahan yang khusus dipergunakan untuk menanam rumput tidaklah memadai. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan pertanaman campuran rumput dengan legume. Untuk menghasilkan produksi yang optimum maka perlu dilakukan pemupukan. Pemupukan yang dapat dilakukan oleh petani tanpa mengeluarkan biaya tambahan adalah pemberian pupuk organik kompos dan biourine. Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan dari bulan Nopember 2015 sampai dengan Pebruari 2016. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok pola faktorial 3x2, dengan 3 faktor jenis tanaman: Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott tanpa legume (Rt); ditanam bersama sentro (Rs) dan ditanam bersama dengan kalopo (Rk): dan 2 jenis pupuk yang digunakan adalah pupuk kompos (K) dan pupuk biourine (B). Masing-masing kombinasi perlakuan diulang sebanyak tiga kali. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda sangat nyata untuk parameter produksi total hijauan segar dan kering, jumlah anakan dan jumlah daun Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott serta komposisi botani pemotongan pertama sedangkan untuk tinggi tanaman Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda tidak nyata Pengaruh yang nyata juga diberikan jenis tanaman terhadap kandungan protein Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata untuk kandungan serat kasar Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pertanaman campuran Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott dengan leguminosa mampu meningkatkan produksi dan kualitas hijauan.Kata kunci: rumput gajah kate, leguminosa, produksi, kualitas hijauan

Bali pig is one of the meat-producing livestock commodities that has great potential to be developed because it has beneficial properties and abilities, but its presence on the island of Bali has begun to decline and is only found in certain areas such as in Buleleng, Karangasem, and Klungkung Regencies. Bali's pig population in Bali Province from 2017-2019 decreased by 27.51%. Likewise, it also occurs in Buleleng Regency by 26.09% and in Pejarakan Village, Gerokgak District, Buleleng Regency by approximately 50%. Some of the factors that influence this decline include feed management and the farming system. Likewise, related to the provision of animal feed ingredients derived from food crops such as corn, bananas, and peanuts, the partners have not really understood in an effort to increase the productivity of these food crops as animal feed.  Based the enormous potential and opportunity for Balinese pigs and felt very profitable by the Suka Nadi Peasant Women's Group (KWT) in Pejarakan Village which is located 145 km from the provincial capital with a total of 28 members now still doing Balinese pig farming business on a small scale/household even though it experiences a mortality rate of 25% because in its maintenance it is still with an extensive farming system and makeshift feed. The death of the livestock is caused by being crushed by the mother and getting sick because the livestock lacks the nutrients and feed provided. The problem is that partners do not really understand efforts to increase the productivity of Bali pig livestock, especially regarding the management of the provision and feeding of their livestock. The solution provided is to provide an understanding of knowledge and skills about efforts to increase the productivity of local pig livestock, especially regarding the management of the provision and feeding with fermented feed technology and efforts to increase the productivity of food crops as animal feed ingredients. The method were surveys, interviews, discussions, counseling/training in theory and practice as well as monitoring and evaluation. The output produced is that partners have understood about efforts to increase the productivity of Bali pigs and food crops (corn) as animal feed ingredients and are able to make fermented animal feed so that the provision of feed is more quality, effective and efficient and the partners have a place to make small-scale fermented feed/households.

Cattle husbandry produces a substantial quantity of cow manure that has not been utilized to its full potential. To date, cow manure has only been stored without proper processing, resulting in environmental problems such as an offensive odor and damage to the environment's aesthetics. According to the results of the survey, participants lack the necessary knowledge and skills to convert livestock waste, such as cow dung, into valuable and useful organic fertilizer. The goal is to impart knowledge regarding the transmutation of cow manure into high-quality organic fertilizer and its use on plants. In addition to observing the impact of technology's application on partners, the method used to conduct face-to-face activities, counselling, and direct practice will involve observing the impact of technology's application on partners. These measures will be implemented progressively. First, we will provide fundamental guidance regarding biomedical technology for the production of high-quality organic fertilizer from animal waste. Second, we will provide hands-on training on the use of biomes in the production of high-quality organic fertilizer from livestock waste and conduct multiple evaluations. The livestock producers of Sekar Pasti Wangi are physically capable of producing high-quality organic fertilizer. In terms of the economy, the sale of organic fertilizers has increased the income of farmers. Due to the conversion of cow manure into organic fertilizer, the environmental pollution produced by cow manure is reduced by 95% as a result of this activity.
