The research was carried out at the Basic Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Warmadewa University with a level of use of fermented coconut pulp, namely R0 (ration that contains no fermented coconut pulp, R1 (ration containing 5% fermented coconut pulp flour), R2 (ration containing 10 % fermented coconut pulp) and R3 (rations containing 15% fermented coconut pulp). Each combination of treatments was repeated three (3) times, and each replication consisted of 4 super female free-range chickens. Variables observed included: 1). Age of chicken growth includes the weight gain and final weight of super free-range chicken, 2) Percentage of carcass and non-carcasses for super free-range chicken, 3) Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR, and 4) Feed consumption. From this study it was found that the giving of coconut pulp flour was fermented up to 10% (R2) significantly (P<0.05) could increase weight gain and final weight and flour dregs fermented coconut to the level of 10% also decreases ration consumption and the conversion of ration for super female chicken 14 weeks old.

ABSTRAKSalah satu faktor yang memegang peranan penting dalam meningkatkan produksi ternak ruminansia adalah tersedianya hijauan makanan ternak yang berkualitas sepanjang tahun. Hijauan makanan ternak yang berkualitas terutama terdiri dari rumput rumputan sebagai sumber energi dan leguminosa sebagai sumber protein. Di Indonesia, khususnya di Bali, petani ternak masih banyak memanfaatkan rumput lapangan sebagai pakan ternaknya, karena lahan yang khusus dipergunakan untuk menanam rumput tidaklah memadai. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan pertanaman campuran rumput dengan legume. Untuk menghasilkan produksi yang optimum maka perlu dilakukan pemupukan. Pemupukan yang dapat dilakukan oleh petani tanpa mengeluarkan biaya tambahan adalah pemberian pupuk organik kompos dan biourine. Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan dari bulan Nopember 2015 sampai dengan Pebruari 2016. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok pola faktorial 3x2, dengan 3 faktor jenis tanaman: Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott tanpa legume (Rt); ditanam bersama sentro (Rs) dan ditanam bersama dengan kalopo (Rk): dan 2 jenis pupuk yang digunakan adalah pupuk kompos (K) dan pupuk biourine (B). Masing-masing kombinasi perlakuan diulang sebanyak tiga kali. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda sangat nyata untuk parameter produksi total hijauan segar dan kering, jumlah anakan dan jumlah daun Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott serta komposisi botani pemotongan pertama sedangkan untuk tinggi tanaman Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott menunjukkan hasil yang berbeda tidak nyata Pengaruh yang nyata juga diberikan jenis tanaman terhadap kandungan protein Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott, namun tidak berpengaruh nyata untuk kandungan serat kasar Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pertanaman campuran Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott dengan leguminosa mampu meningkatkan produksi dan kualitas hijauan.Kata kunci: rumput gajah kate, leguminosa, produksi, kualitas hijauan

The agricultural targets in Indonesia, particularly in Bali, cover farmers' welfare improvement, which is aimed to protect farmers from poverty. Some factors that may lead farmers into poverty namely: (1) The low level of technology applied; (2) The small scale of business; (3) The inefficiency of marketing system; and (4) The status of farmers who are mostly peasants. The first two factors result in a small harvest, the third factor causes farmers for receiving low prices, moreover, the fourth factor put the farmers can not make a decision but merely receiving wages. This study aims to investigate the welfare level of farmers in Denpasar based on the grade of Farmer's Term of Trade Indices, which is analyzed according to three criteria, namely farmers who own their own lands, farmers who are both peasants and owning their own lands, and farmers who are merely peasants; to investigate farmers' families efforts; to investigate the scale of business and the farm ownership status of farmers in Denpasar. The results of the study showed that the Farmer's Term of Trade Indices in Denpasar is evenly 104.40%, which was included farmers who own their own lands, farmers who are both peasants and owning their own lands and farmers who are mere peasants. Since the Farmer's Term of Trade Indices in Denpasar was found to be higher than 100.00%, it indicated that farmers in Denpasar have been able to cover their expenses through their revenues, even the revenues might be higher than the expenses. The efforts of the farmers' family members who were productive, especially the housewives, varied among sub-district and hit 86 people or 39.09%. The scale of business of farmers' in Denpasar was evenly 47.27 acre, which consisted of 27.53 acres from farmers who own their own lands, 55.14 acres from farmers who are both peasants and owning their own lands, and 59.13 acres from farmers who are mere peasants. The status of farm ownership was discovered to be an assurance for most of the farmers in doing their farm since it has been approved by 82.50% of farmers who agreed with the statement, even though 15.75% of farmers stated being indifferent, while 1.75% did not agree.

Bali pig is one of the meat-producing livestock commodities that has great potential to be developed because it has beneficial properties and abilities, but its presence on the island of Bali has begun to decline and is only found in certain areas such as in Buleleng, Karangasem, and Klungkung Regencies. Bali's pig population in Bali Province from 2017-2019 decreased by 27.51%. Likewise, it also occurs in Buleleng Regency by 26.09% and in Pejarakan Village, Gerokgak District, Buleleng Regency by approximately 50%. Some of the factors that influence this decline include feed management and the farming system. Likewise, related to the provision of animal feed ingredients derived from food crops such as corn, bananas, and peanuts, the partners have not really understood in an effort to increase the productivity of these food crops as animal feed.  Based the enormous potential and opportunity for Balinese pigs and felt very profitable by the Suka Nadi Peasant Women's Group (KWT) in Pejarakan Village which is located 145 km from the provincial capital with a total of 28 members now still doing Balinese pig farming business on a small scale/household even though it experiences a mortality rate of 25% because in its maintenance it is still with an extensive farming system and makeshift feed. The death of the livestock is caused by being crushed by the mother and getting sick because the livestock lacks the nutrients and feed provided. The problem is that partners do not really understand efforts to increase the productivity of Bali pig livestock, especially regarding the management of the provision and feeding of their livestock. The solution provided is to provide an understanding of knowledge and skills about efforts to increase the productivity of local pig livestock, especially regarding the management of the provision and feeding with fermented feed technology and efforts to increase the productivity of food crops as animal feed ingredients. The method were surveys, interviews, discussions, counseling/training in theory and practice as well as monitoring and evaluation. The output produced is that partners have understood about efforts to increase the productivity of Bali pigs and food crops (corn) as animal feed ingredients and are able to make fermented animal feed so that the provision of feed is more quality, effective and efficient and the partners have a place to make small-scale fermented feed/households.
