Suatu kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan tujuan pokok untuk mengembangkan system produksi kambing perbibitan dengan penerapan Teknik Reproduksi Terkontrol di Kabupaten Lombok Tengah, NTB, dilaksanakan dalam bentuk penyuluhan dengan metode demplot, pelatihan, dan diseminasi Ipteks melalui penyebaran leaflet kepada peternak. Kegiatan berlokasi di Desa Darek Kecamatan Praya Barat Daya, dengan sasaran strategis adalah para peternak pada dua kelompok peternakan kambing perbibitan, dari kedua kelompok diambil 20 peternak sebagai sasaran langsung pembinaan. Demplot dilakukan menggunakan 20 ekor kambing induk Peranakan Etawa(PE) umur 2,0-2,5 tahun dengan BCS rata-rata 4. Sistem produksi kambing perbibitan dengan penerapan Teknik Reproduksi Terkontrol didemonstrasikan pada kedua kelompok mitra mulai dari pemilihan kambing-kambing induk, sinkronisasi birahi dengan introduksi Prostaglandin F2α intravaginal menggunakan hand made spong, penerapan teknik flushing dengan pemberian pakan konsentrat comfeed, pengamatan tanda-tanda birahi kambing-kambing induk pasca sinkronisasi, pelaksanaan perkawinan kambing-kambing induk secara IB  menggunakan semen beku pejantan Boer, deteksi kebuntingan menggunakan non return rate, pemeliharaan kebuntingan dengan pemberian pakan suplemen dan vitamin, penanganan parturisi, penanganan cempe neonatal dan pengukuran berat lahir hingga penyapihan dan pengukuran berat sapih, promosi pertumbuhan cempe lepas sapih dengan suplementasi probiotik EM4, penilaian performa kambing bibit dengan pengukuran langsung berat badan dan dimensi vital kambing. Capaian tujuan dan manfaat kegiatan yang dievaluasi dengan teknik survey menggunakan quisioner dan pengukuran langsung performa reproduksi kambing induk dan performa cempe yang dihasilkan di dalam demplot menunjukkan, semua peternak dari kedua kelompok mitra/sasaran telah memahami dengan baik materi Ipteks yang diberikan penyuluh dan dipandang telah mampu mengembangkan system produksi kambing perbibitan dengan penerapan teknik reproduksi terkontrol. Penerapan teknik reproduksi terkontrol dalam usaha ternak kambing perbibitan sangat bermanfaat dalam meningkatkan efisiensi reproduksi kambing induk dan produktivitas perbibitan yang diusahakan.

Suatu kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan tujuan pokok untuk mengembangkan system produksi sapi potong dengan penerapan teknik promosi pertumbuhan di Kabupaten Lombok Barat, dilaksanakan dalam bentuk penyuluhan dengan metode demplot, orasi, dan diseminasi Ipteks melalui leaflet. Kegiatan berlokasi di Desa Batumekar Kecamatan Lingsar, dengan sasaran strategis adalah para peternak pada dua kelompok peternakan sapi dengan kinerja terbaik, dari kedua kelompok diambil 20 peternak sebagai sasaran langsung pembinaan. Demplot dilakukan menggunakan 10 ekor sapi bakalan 2,0-2,5 tahun, dibagi ke dalam 2 plot masing-masing 5 ekor sapi/plot. Sistem penggemukan dengan aplikasi pemacu pertumbuhan (probiotik) didemonstrasikan pada kedua plot dengan pemberian pakan (hijauan + konsentrat) sepenuhnya di dalam kandang selama 90 hari, dan ke dalam pakan yang disediakan ditambahkan probiotik sebanyak 25 dan 50 mg/ekor/hari berturut-turut untuk Plot 1, dan Plot 2. Terdapat satu plot lainnya sebagai kelompok non demplot yang tidak diberikan probiotik. Capaian tujuan dan manfaat kegiatan yang dievaluasi dengan metode survey menggunakan quisioner dan pengukuran langsung kinerja sapi-sapi demplot menunjukkan, semua peternak dari kedua kelompok sasaran telah memahami dengan baik materi Ipteks yang diberikan penyuluh dan dipandang telah mampu mengembangkan system produksi sapi potong dengan penerapan teknik promosi pertumbuhan. Penerapan teknik promosi pertumbuhan dalam penggemukan sapi rakyat sangat bermanfaat dalam meningkatkan efisiensi penggemukan sapi serta dapat memberikan pendapatan jauh lebih tinggi bagi peternak.

The effort to increase productivity of Bali cattle in Lombok Island made use of crossbreeding with exotic breeds, such as Simmental, Limousine, Charolais, Hereford, and Brahman breed, in which Simmental was suggested the best one. However, replacing indigenous with exotic breed might in fact create significant problem, especially low tolerance on harsh environment condition and increased work to feed each animal because of higher growth and greater size at maturity. This study that mean objective to investigate the physiological respons of Bali and Simbal cattle  on the thermal environment of lowland and highland areas in Lombok island, was carried out by measure the rectal temperature (BT, oC), respiration rate (RR, resp/min), and heat tolerance coefficient (HTC) of 320 cattles in lowland and 280 cattle in highland, each consisted of pure Bali breed (B), crossbred of B x Simmental (SB), backcross of SB x Simmental (SBS), and backcross of SB x Bali (SBB). Each genotype consist of male and female, and 24-36 months of age. All cattle observed are ordered to be similar condition with BCS 3-5. The thermal condition of lowland and highland are measured from air temperature (oC), relative humidity (%), and temperature humidity index (THI). Data were analysed by using Anova and further test using HSD-test. Results of the study shows, the daily temperature and THI data obtained for the lowland environment are in considered to thermal stress zone for beef cattle, whereas those of found for the highland are within range of safety zone for cattle production. Physiological response shuch as BT, RR, and HTC, were significantly higher for cattle in the lowland than those in highland. The crossbreds cattle with higher proportion of Simmental genetic showed higher BT, RR, and HTC in the lowland, but became decrease in highland environment by higher decreasing index. It could be conclused that environmental condition in lowland with average THI of 80.02 lead to coused thermal stress to genotypes of Simbal cattle based on HTC wich in average of 2.91; however in highland wich average THI of 69.39 each genotype of cattle shows physiological responses in the normal range.ÂÂ

This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Cut and Work Livestock Faculty of Animal Husbandry, University of Mataram the aim was to determine the production potential of fat-tailed sheep (DEG) which includes cutting weights, carcass weight, the proportion of meat, bones, and carcass fat and carcass commercial cuts. Ten (10) sheep fat tail which consists of five adult males and five adult females used as samples. Sampling was done randomly livestock enclave fat tail sheep production in Lombok. The study was designed using a completely randomized design direction. Data collected were analyzed descriptively using average and standard deviation and percentage values according to the data categories. To find out the effect of sex on production and physical composition of the carcass, it was analyzed using t-test. At the same slaughter weight the percentage of male and female DEG carcass was significantly different (P <0.05). Female fat tail sheep produced a higher percentage of proximal thigh carcass (P <0.05) than male DEG.

This research was conducted in West Lombok Regency with the aim of knowing the production performance and supply capacity of Bali cattle seeds and beef in West Lombok district. The research was conducted by survey method. The research sample consisted of farmers and the livestock they kept. This research was conducted in two sub-districts and three sample villages were selected for each sub-district. The number of samples is 60 farmer respondents. The variables observed included body weight, body size, birth rate, mortality rate, calf harvest, calving period and age of rejection. The data collected were analyzed descriptively. To determine the level of production and supply capacity of Bali cattle, seeds and cuts, the data were analyzed using Dania guidelines. Structure The population of Bali cattle consists of 33.33% calves, 21.21% young and 45.45% adults with a child harvest rate of 26.97% and a mortality rate of 2.49% of the population. The average body weight of Bali cattle in West Lombok Regency, weaning calf, young and adult, respectively, is 129.65, 247.98 and 275.75 kg adults with gumba height, 99.08 weaning calves, 112.75 young and adults 118.45 cm. The supply capacity of breeder cattle and beef cattle in West Lombok Regency is 24.28% of the population, consisting of 6.51% beef cattle and 17.76% breed cattle.
