<p>Development of cattle raising, especially in the location of transmigration project has been lack of information<br />on the profile of labor allocation. Thirty transmigrated and 30 local farmers raised ≥3 years old cattle, had experience at least three years which lived in the stratified 10 districts were drawn simple randomly as respondents. The average of man day for family labor allocations of the transmigrated and local farmers was 262.91 and 188.49, respectively. The time allocations for cattle raising of transmigrated and local farmers were attending the cattle 0.315 man-days (43.67%) and 0.344 man-days (66.46%), respectively, followed by forage cut and carry activity 0.264 man-days (36.59%) and 0.090 man-days (17.35%), and other activities 0.142 man-days (19.74%) and 0.084 man-days (16.19%). The average of time allocation for non cattle raising activity of transmigrated farmer (0.73 man-days) was higher (P&lt;0.01) than that of local farmer (0.65 man-days). 1.446 man-days (48.85%) of transmigrated farmer family labor time and 1.169 man-days (37.35%) of local farmers’ family labor time were allocated.</p><p><br />(Key words: Cattle farming, Family labor, Transmigrated farmer, Local farmer)<br /><br /></p>

This study aimed to analyze the marketing of beef cattle in the Sub District Konda and Ranomeeto Barat, Konawe Selatan Regency, held in October 2017. The subjects in this study were beef cattle traders and all the aspects related to the marketing of beef cattle. The research location was determined by purposive sampling. Measured variables included the characteristics of respondents, marketing agencies, marketing channels, marketing margins, costs and benefits of any marketing agencies, and marketing efficiency. Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Results indicated that there are four marketing channels of beef cattle in the Sub District of Konda and Ranomeeto Barat, namely (1) the farmer - the end consumer, (2) the farmer - the trader - the end consumer, (3) farmer - wholesalers - the end customer, (4) the farmer - trader - wholesalers - the end consumer. The highest margin was on the marketing channel 3 as much as Rp 1,222,026/head and the lowest was in the marketing channel 2 as much as Rp 461,895/head. The highest costs were in the marketing channel 4 as much as Rp 400,000/head, and the highest profit was in the marketing channel 3 as much as Rp 1,022,026/head. The most efficient marketing channel used was the marketing channel 3, with the marketing efficiency value 2.71%.

This research aimed to determine the maximum potential for increasing the population of beef cattle in the South Konawe Regency Southeast Sulawesi Province based on natural resources and the ability of the head of the farmer family to raise cattle. This research was conducted 5th October to 28th December 2019. Determination of research location was carried out purposely (purposive sampling), with the consideration that South Konawe Regency was a central area for Bali cattle breeding.  The data analysis was carried out by analyzing the supporting capacity of forage from pasture land and non-pasture land (rice fields, plantations, forests and moor) as well as the production of agricultural food crop waste (rice, corn, peanuts, green beans, cassava, sweet potatoes and soybeans), using tabular data in the form of data on food crop production and land area. Potential analysis of beef cattle business development in South Konawe Regency using the calculation of the Capacity Increase of Ruminant Population/Kapasitas Peningkatan Populasi Ternak Ruminansia (KPPTR). Based on the results of research in South Konawe Regency, the number can still be increased by 7,478 Animal Units. If the value is converted to adult female-male cows with an age of >2 years, the population addition can be done as many as 7,478 cows. Meanwhile, if converted to female-male heifers with an age of 1-2 years, the population increase can be increased by 14,956 and if converted to female-male calves with an age of >1 year, the population increase can be done up to 28,912.

ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui efek pemberian asam lemak terproteksi yang berasal dari hasil samping pengolahan limbah ikan terhadap performa kambing peranakan etawa dalam pertumbuhan. Penelitian dilaksanakan di kandang ternak Desa Alebo, Kabupaten Konawe Selatan dan Laboratorium Ilmu Nutrisi dan Teknologi Pakan, Fakultas Peternakan Universitas Halu Oleo, Kendari. Materi penelitian meggunakan 16 ekor kambing peranakan etawa berumur 4-6 bulan dan bobot badan 10-12 kg. Pakan yang digunakan terdiri atas hijauan dan asam lemak terproteksi (ALT) sebagai campuran garam karboksilat kering (CGKK). Rancangan penelitian adalah rancangan acak lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri atas T1= 0 g ALT; T2 = 200 g ALT; T3 = 250 g ALT, dan T4 = 300 g ALT. Variabel penelitian meliputi kosumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan, dan konversi pakan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan berpengaruh sangat nyata (P<0,01) terhadap konsumsi pakan, pertambahan bobot badan dan konversi pakan kambing peranakan Etawa fase pertumbuhan. Rataan konsumsi pakan (Kg BK/ekor/minngu) T1 = 4,58; T2 = 5,68; T3 = 6,19; dan T4 = 6,48. Rataan pertambahan bobot badan (kg/ekor/minggu) T1 = 0.43, T2 = 0.90, T3 = 1.44 dan T4 = 1.42. Rataan konversi pakan T1 = 10,63; T2 = 7,61. Disimpulkan bahwa pemberian asam lemak terproteksi (ALT) yang berasal dari hasil sampig pengolahan limbah ikan (200-300 g/ekor/hari) meningkatkan konsumsi bahan kering, pertambahan bobot badan, dan memperbaiki efisiensi konversi pakan kambing peranakan etawa fase pertumbuhan.Kata kunci: asam lemak terproteksi, kambing PE, performa,ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research was to know  the effect of applying protected fatty acids originated from by-product of fish processing on performance growth phase ettawa crossbred. The study was conducted at Cattle Pen located at Alebo village, South Konawe Regency, and Laboratory of Nutrition Science and Feed Technology, Faculty of Animal Science, Halu Oleo University, Kendari. The materials used 16 Etawa crossbred aged 4-6 months and weighed 10-12 kg.  The feeds were applied consist of roughage and protected fatty acid (PFA), as dry carboxylate salt mixture, DCM. The research design was Complete Randomized Design with 4 treatments and 4 repeatition. The treatments were    T1= 0 g PFA; T2 = 200 g PFA; T3 = 250 g PFA; and T4 = 300 g PFA. Variable were feed intake, gain, and feed conversionl. The results of research showed that the treatments had a very significant effect (P<0.01) on the feed consumption, weekly gain, and feed conversion on the growth phase. The average feed consumption (kg dry mater/head/week) T1 = 4.58; T2 = 5.68; T3 = 6.19; and T4 = 6.48. The concluded that application of protected fatty acid (PFA), originated from by-product of fish processing (200-300 g/head/day) increased dry matter intake, weekly gain, and improved feed conversion efficiency etawa crossbred.Keywords: ettawa crossbred, performance, protected fatty acid
