The distribution of dairy cattle population in Indonesia is still concentrated in Java, almost 98.62%. However, milk consumers are evenly in Java and outside Java. In addition, outside of Java has high availability of land as well as the source of the feed. Therefore, the government tries to develop a dairy cattle business outside Java. Dairy cattle development activities were carried out in the highland and also in lowland areas. Whereas, it is well known that the productivity of dairy cattle is optimal in the highland areas. The purpose of this research was to assess the feasibility of a dairy business in the lowland areas outside Java in terms of its productivity and economic analysis. Research was done in the farmer group of "Talago Sakato" Nagari Kayu, Padang Pariaman, West Sumatra Province. Data collection was done by 2015 in the form of location characteristics as secondary data and milk production as well as the value of the input-output dairy businesses as primary data. Descriptive data was used to analyse the location characteristic and non-parametric t test was used to compare milk production in different area. The result shows the average milk production dairy cattle in lowland area of Padang Pariaman 10 litres/head/day was not significantly ifferent from the average milk production in Java (P 0.173). However, it was significantly lower compared to milk production in the highland areas in Java. It has a value of B/C 0.30 regardless of labor cost. If labor variable was taken into account, it required the addition of milk productivity at least 1056 liters/head/lactation period in order to be accomplished BEP. These values indicate that a dairy business in the lowland areas outside Java are rated quite feasible to be developed as seen from milk production values which do not vary markedly with milk production in the lowland areas in Java, but needs to be improved, among others, through the introduction of applied technology.
Pines are the largest tree forests in West of Java so that they are very potential to be developed as an agroforestry system. Forage crop potentially to be cultivated in the agroforestry system. The aim of the research was to study the response of the grasses grown under pines forest. The experiment was conducted at pines forest area arranged in randomized complete block design. The treatments were 3 grasses (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Taiwan, P. purpureum (local) and Pennisetum purpureophoides (king grass). Data collected were productivity, agronomic performance (plant height, tiller), forage production and quality. The result shows that shoot production of Taiwan cultivar was significantly higher than local P. purpureum. It was produced 498.4 g/clump on rainy season and 287.0 g/clump at dry season. At dry season forage production was decreased by 39,9%/ha. Nutrient composition at rainy season, crude fibre of grass was 39.89%; Ca 0.04%; P 0.26%; ash 12.46%; energy 4239.5 kcal/kg and crude protein 8.23%; while at the mid of dry season crude fibre was 38.43%; Ca 0.035%; P 0.26%; ash 11,43%; energy 3943 kcal/kg and crude protein 8.94%. EVALUASI PERFORMAN TIGA JENIS RUMPUT Pennisetum sp DI BAWAH TEGAKAN TANAMAN PINUS DI LEMBANG JAWA BARAT ABSTRAKTanaman pinus di Jawa Barat cukup besar dan sangat potensial untuk pengembangan sistem agroforestry. Tanaman pakan ternak untuk dibudidayakan pada sistem agroforestry sangat potensial. Penelitian ini untuk mempelajari respon rumput gajah di bawah tanaman pinus. Rancangan percobaan acak kelompok dengan perlakuan rumput gajah lokal (Pennisetum purpureum local), rumput raja (P. purpureophoides) dan rumput gajah Taiwan (P. purpureum cv Taiwan) dengan lima ulangan masing-masing ditanam dengan ukuran plot 100 m2. Interval potong delapan minggu dan pengumpulan data meliputi produksi dan kualitas hijauan, performan agronomi (tinggi tanaman, jumlah tunas). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa produksi tunas rumput gajah Taiwan nyata lebih tinggi daripada rumput gajah lokal. Produksi hijauan per rumpun 498,4 g pada musim hujan dan 287,0 g pada musim kering. Produksi hijauan pada musim kering menurun 39,9%/ha. Kandungan nutrisi pada musim hujan serat kasar adalah 39,89%, Ca 0,04%; P 0,26%, Abu 12,46%; energi 4239,5 kcal/kg dan protein kasar 8,23%. Sedangkan pada pertengahan musim kering serat kasar 38,43%; Ca 0,035%; P 0,26%; abu 11,43%; energy 3943 kcal/kg dan protein kasar 8,94%.Kata kunci: hutan pinus, tanaman pakan ternak, produksi, kualitas
Forage crops are planted mostly in marginal land or integrated with other crops. Estate crops land is one of the alternative areas for forage crops plantation. Shortage of forage crops development under crop plantation is caused by limited light intensity, due to crop shading. Selecting forage crops adapted to estate crops plantation is crusial to achieve its high production and quality. Several grasses and legumes have been identified as forage crops that tolerant to shading of less than 40%, 40-60% and more than 60% light intensity. Some of them have been applied in the area of oil palm plantation to support the acceleration of livestock population.Key words: Grass, legume, genetic resources, shade tolerant ABSTRAK Tanaman Pakan Ternak (TPT) pada umumnya ditanam pada lahan marjinal atau berintegrasi dengan tanaman lainnya. Lahan perkebunan adalah salah satu area yang mempunyai peluang untuk budidaya TPT. Keterbatasan pengembangan TPT di lahan perkebunan adalah kurangnya intensitas sinar matahari, akibat adanya naungan dari tanaman perkebunan. Pemilihan jenis TPT yang tepat sangat krusial untuk memperoleh produksi dan kualitas TPT yang tinggi. Telah teridentifikasi berbagai jenis rumput dan legimunosa yang tahan terhadap naungan pada intensitas cahaya kurang dari 40%, 40-60% dan lebih dari 60%. Pengembangan beberapa TPT yang tahan naungan tersebut telah dilakukan di perkebunan kelapa sawit untuk mendukung percepatan peningkatan populasi ternak.
Forage plant has multipurposes as feed, cover crop, erosion control, remediation on heavy metal contaminated soil, medicine, as well as textile and food coloring. Seed is a part of plant used for plant multiplication. National seed system covers germplasm management, breeding, seed production and its distribution. Therefore, forage seed production is an important aspect to be concerned. Forage seed production system has to produce high quality seed with optimum yield. There has not been any forage seed producer which ensures the quality of seed produced in accordance to seed certification requirement as those in food crop, horticulture or estate crop. Seed quality aspect covers genetic, physiology and physical quality. Seed stock certification is to guarantee that the distributed seeds have genetic identity, pure and high quality.Key words: Forage, seed, production, certification ABSTRAKTanaman pakan ternak (TPT) mempunyai multifungsi sebagai sumber hijauan pakan ternak, tanaman penutup tanah, pupuk hijauan, pengontrol erosi, remediasi lahan tercemar logam berat, tanaman obat, pewarna kain dan kue. Benih adalah bagian tanaman yang digunakan untuk memperbanyak atau mengembangbiakkan tanaman. Sistem perbenihan nasional mencakup pengelolaan plasma nutfah, kegiatan pemuliaan, produksi benih dan distribusinya sehingga perbenihan TPT merupakan hal penting untuk diperhatikan. Sistem perbenihan TPT harus menghasilkan benih yang berkualitas tinggi dan berproduksi optimal. Penangkaran benih TPT yang telah dilakukan belum sebaik pada tanaman pangan, hortikultura, maupun perkebunan. Mutu benih mencakup kualitas genetik, fisiologi dan fisik. Sertifikasi benih bertujuan menjamin agar benih yang didistribusikan memiliki identitas genetik, murni dan berkualitas tinggi.Kata kunci: Tanaman pakan ternak, benih, produksi, sertifikasi PENDAHULUANKetahanan pangan merupakan program nasional, maka penggunaan benih varietas unggul bersertifikat pada tanaman pangan, dapat berkontribusi secara signifikan dalam peningkatan produktivitas. Oleh karena itu, dalam rangka peningkatan penggunaan benih varietas unggul bersertifikat diperlukan sistem pengelolaan produksi benih yang baik, yaitu mampu menyediakan benih sesuai dengan kebutuhan petani dan pengguna lain (Ditjen Tanaman Pangan 2015).Peternakan merupakan salah satu subsektor yang mendukung ketahanan pangan melalui ketersediaan protein hewani. Dalam usaha peternakan, tanaman pakan ternak (TPT) sebagai sumber hijauan pakan ternak merupakan salah satu komponen yang menentukan keberhasilan subsektor peternakan di Indonesia, namun peranannya belum optimal.Petani menghadapi beberapa masalah antara lain kekeringan, banjir, gulma, hama, penyakit dan kondisi tanah yang buruk dalam budidaya tanaman pertanian. Khusus untuk TPT, selain faktor-faktor tersebut, komoditas ini dianggap belum mempunyai nilai ekonomi. Tingkat keberhasilan produksi tanaman maupun ternak tergantung seberapa efektif faktorfaktor tersebut dapat dikontrol atau direkayasa.Salah satu faktor untuk keberhasilan produksi ta...
