PRODUCTION  ANALYSIS  OF FOOD  CROP WASTE PRODUCT AS CATTLE FEED IN NORTH BOLAANGMONGONDOW REGENCY. Cattle can be used as the main economical source giving added value in farm of the farmers to support their family needs in North Bolaang Mongondow regency. Farmers utilized food crop waste product for cattle feed maintenance. The problem was that the food crop waste product potential was unknown to support cattle development in the farm of the farmers. The objective of this study was to analyze food crop waste product potential. Materials in this study were involving food crop area, type of food crop waste product, and cattle. Research method was applied by survey method involving primer and secondary data. Data were analyzed by proximate analysis conducted by Research Institution and Industrial Standardization, Manado and descriptive analysis. Agricultural waste product was local feedstuff as crude fiber source that can be used for cattle feed. The potential feedstuff was calculated on the basis of feedstuff production multiplied by crop cultivation area size and expressed in dry matter (DM). The highest potential of DM was the wet rice paddy straw, followed by dry rice paddy straw, corn straw, sweet potato leaves, cassava leaves, green bean straw, and peanut straw. This study concluded that dry matter productions of wet rice paddy straw, corn straw and peanut straw were highly produced in Sanggkub district. Dry matter productions of dry rice paddy straw, cassava leaves, and sweet potato leaves were highly produced in East Bolaang Itang district, while dry matter production of green bean straw was highly produced in West Bolaang Itang district. Based on this research it can be suggested to introduce the technology related to the preservation of food crop waste product in North Bolaang Mongondow regency.   Keywords: Waste product, food crop, cattle, North Bolaang Mongondow regency.

Among the many problems, one of the obstacles to farming is the weak strategy to make up for the highest profit. The purpose of this study is to examine the direction of the development of agribusiness of dragon fruit in the integrated yard of a tourism village. This research was carried out in Banuroja Village, Randangan District, Gorontalo, from March to June 2019. This research was designed using a survey approach. The number of respondents are 58 people. The data were analyzed using the SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threat) methods. The analysis shows that SWOT awareness is in quadrant III (change strategy). The recommended strategy priorities consist of; (a) the development of dragon fruit-based agro-tourism through strengthening multicultural farmers in the promotion of rural tourism, (b) forming farmer groups in the integration of agricultural tourism management as an effort to strengthen institutions, and (c) developing super red dragon fruit in an effort to expand its development because it is much sought after by consumers.

Farmers in SangkubDistrict develop cattle as a source of income, so the government seeks to give serious attention to its development.The problem is there are constrains in its development, one of them related to feed.This research has been conducted with the aim to know how far the availability of feed for cattle.The research method used is survey method, with the respondents amounted to 15 farmers determined by purposive sampling ie farmers belonging to the group, the development of science and technology for the region.Data analysis used is descriptive analysis.The results showed the ownership of cattle by each farmer ranged from 2-6 tail with a total of 43 tails.The results showed ownership by each farmers ranged from 2-6 cattle to a total of 43 cattle.Cattle have the potential to be developed in terms of available resources. However, the food consumed is the grass that grows wild and corn waste.This is due to high quality forage, not yet available continuously.Knowledge of farmers about quality feed is still low, so the introduction of feed has been done by the team. Based on results of the research can be concluded that the introduction of cattle feed has been done and responded well by farmers. Suggestions submitted, need to socialize about the development of forage with business orientation and environmentally friendly.

The potential of cattle farming in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency is sufficient. The data show that the cattle population amounts to 14690 heads (2015), and the population increases from 2013 to 2015 by 6.93%. The government is trying to increase the population so that various programs have been launched in this area. On the other hand the increase in population gives consequences of increased cattle waste. Cattle farming is considered as one of the causes of CO2 emissions which lead to increased global warming. Efforts that can be made to minimize greenhouse gas emission increase is by integrated farming system of cow-plant. The problem is whether the integration of cattle-crop farming benefits cattle farmers. The purpose of this research was to analyze the benefits of farming of cattle-crop integration. The research method used was survey method. The location of the research was the district that has the largest population of cattle, namely District of Sangkub and Bintauna determined by purposive sampling. The results showed that cattle farming integrated with food crops has been done by several farmer groups. Cattle were kept by using cages and the feed used was waste of rice and corn. Cattle manure has been made of solid fertilizer, and liquid fertilizer. Liquid fertilizer produced was 25 liters/day sold at Rp 30000/liter, solid fertilizer as much as 10000 kg/year, the price of Rp 1000/kg. Based on the result of the research, it can be concluded that integrated farming system, cattle-crop farming provides positive benefits for farmers in increasing income and minimize environmental pollution.
