<p>Institute for Research and Community Service Bogor Agricultural University (LPPM IPB) has excellent performance in community service activities (PPM). LPPM IPB since 2009 has conducted various community service activities in rural and urban campus area around of Campus. One of the activities is related with sheep and supporting activities. This assessment activity has two (2) purposes: first, to measure the knowledge of farmers in the application of science and technology especially cage and cultivation that has been given, and the second one, to give appreciation for the achievements of farmers in the management of sheep, especially for the category of healthy and productive cage. This activity was carried out by field visits and interviews using a special form of assessment. 17 breeders were determined based on nonprobability purposive sampling method. The highest value obtained Nurpandi farmer from the Village Sukawening got 920.9 points, while the lowest value obtained Sahedi farmer from the Village Purwasari got 308.3 points. Conclusions from the results obtained showed mostly cage sheep (52.94%) have not yet reached the category of healthy and productive cage (final value of less than 800 points).</p><p> </p>

The development of technology has had an impact on the progress of irrigation systems, called the intelligent irrigation system 4.0. The objectives of this research are a measurement of Emission Uniformity (EU) and designing automatic irrigation based on soil water sensors. The result of EU value is in the range of 85-90%, which is a good category. EU value can determine whether one emitter can represent the entire emitter in one irrigation system. The principle of the soil water sensor is to read the value of the soil moisture content in the planting medium. The soil water content of 22.4%, which is the field capacity, is used as an upper limit and the soil water content of 21.1%, which is the critical point, is used as the lower limit. Determination of the critical point value is done by using the management allowable depletion (MAD) value of 0.52. The working principle of the control system is to monitor the work of the soil water sensor and become the main data to control valves, pumps, and dosing. The required cost for the automatic system is Rp. 12,626,000, -.
