Local cattle farming as an income source for farmers in rural areas is mostly developed traditionally. The local cattle farm continues, even though it is a side business, but is a mainstay in supporting national beef needs. The problem is whether integration of local cattle and food crops have the potential to be developed by farmers. The research was conducted to determine the potential integration of local cattle local and corn in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency. A survey method using a purposive sampling selected 60 farmers from Sangkub District where farmers practiced an integrated cattle-crops farming. Data were subjected to proximate and feasibility analysis. The results showed that the total cattle owned by respondents were 209. The feed consisted of grass and corn waste, with an average consumption of 5.33 and 11.15 kg/head/day, respectively. A proximate analysis of waste corn reported 86.48% dry material, 7.36% crude protein, 1.84% fat, 28.95% crude fiber, 9.10% ash and 68.18% carbohydrate.  Respondents' income from cattle farming in Bintauna and Sangkub Districts were Rp. 151,000,000 vs. Rp. 169,900,000, production costs were Rp. 101,150,625 vs. Rp. 107,298,593.8, and RC ratio was 1.49 vs. 1.58. In conclusion, corn waste consumption was greater (67.66%) than the grass. RC ratio value >1 indicated that cattle farming was feasible. The corn-cattle farming integration system can minimize environmental pollution because it enables the concept of LEISA (Low External Input Sustainability Agriculture).

TYPES AND POPULATION OF FLY ON BEEF CATTLE AROUND TOLOK VILLAGE AT TOMPASO DISTRICT OF MINAHASA REGENCY. The Study was conducted to evaluate types and population of fly on beef cattle around Tolok village at Tompaso district of Minahasa regency. Observation was applied during a month involving sixteen beef cattle. Flies were cached using insect net one time on every two weeks. Collections of flies were conducted three times and types of fly were also identified including their population. Results of observation showed that there were three types fly on beef cattle including Haematobia exigua, Stomoxys Calcitrans and Musca domestica. The population of these flies were Haematobia exigua of 94.43 individuals, Stomoxys Calcitrans of 10.49 individuals and Musca domestica of 7.74 individuals. The dominant fly during collection at Tolok village was type of Haematobia exigua. Key words: Fly population, dominating fly type, beef cattle.

DAILY BEHAVIOUR OF SULAWESI BEAR CUSCUS (Ailurops ursinus) IN TANGKOKO BATU ANGUS NATURE RESERVE. This study aimed to describe dailly behaviour of Sulawesi Bear Cuscus (Ailurops ursinus) in Tangkoko Batu Angus Nature Reserve. This reseach is expected to provide information about inactive, foraging, intake, groom and social behavior of  Ailurops ursinus as primary behavior variables of the animal daily activities. The usie of vegetation during animal daily activities were introducted in this research as a secondary variable. This research used obsevation as research  method and instantinous animal sampling technique. This method observed Ailurops ursinus behavior three times per day . Each single observe was done in 60 minutes with 60 seconds time interval. Every single observe was replicated 14 times. The result of this research showed that the daily behaviour of Ailurops ursinus was dominated by inactive behaviour with 56.86 percents consisted of 30.5 minutes were spent in the morning, 42.6 minutes at noon and 29.2 minutes in the afternoon. Intake behaviour took times of 26.98 percents consisted of 17.2 minutes were spent in the morning, 8 minutes at noon and 23.3 minutes in the afternoon. The foraging behaviour took times of 15.11 percents consisted of 11.7 minutes were spent in the morning, 8.7 minutes at noon and 6.6 minutes in the afternoon. Groom activity spent times of 0.98% consisted of 0.5 minutes spent  in the morning, 0.5 minutes at noon and 0.7 minutes in the afternoon. Social behaviour took spent time of  0.03% of total daily behaviour spent only at noon.   Keywords : Daily behaviour, Sulawesi Bear Cuscus (Ailurops ursinus), Tangkoko Batu Angus Nature Reserve

CARCASS PERFORMANCE OF BROILER FED RATION CONTAINING COFFEE (Coffea sp) HUSK WASTE PRODUCT TREATED BY SIMPLE PROCESSING AND SUBSTITUTING PARTS OF CORN WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS. Broilers had rapid growth rate and need high nutrient protein and energy balance in the diet. This study was conducted to evaluate the use of coffee husk waste product treated by simple processing substituted with part of corn in ration on carcass percentage of broiler. Study was applied at Faculty of Animal Science, Sam Ratulangi University during 35 days. Total of 144 day old chick unsexed broilers, strain of CP 707, involving 36 experimental units of battery pens were used in this study. Each unit of pen was filled 4 birds under completely randomized design on factorial patter of 3x4. Factor A was focused on three processing treatments including coffee husk heated under sun light (A1), coffee husk immersed in the water (A2), and coffee husk boiled under water (A3). Factor B was focused on four treatments of substitution levels including ration containing corn without coffee husk substitution (B0), ration containing corn substituted with 25% coffee husk (B1), ration containing corn substituted with 50% coffee husk (B2), ration containing corn substituted with 75% coffee husk (B3). Variables observed were including percentages of thigh, wing, breast and back part. Analysis of variance showed that interaction of processing treatments did not affect significantly on the percentages of thigh, wing, breast and back part. This study indicated that simple processing of coffee husk were not affected the carcass percentages of broiler. The substitution levels significantly affected carcass percentage of broiler. Percentages of thigh, wing, breast and back part were 28.92%-30.98%, 10.38%-12.68%, 35.10%-38.55% and 19,68%-22,71%, respectively. This study showed that utilization of coffee husk waste product by above simple processing could substitute part of corn in ration of 25% producing high carcass percentage of broiler.Keywords: Coffee husk by product, broiler part of carcass percentage

INTRODUCTION OF TECHNOLOGY IN SUPPORT FARMING OF DUCK IN PASLATEN VILLAGE DISTRICT OF KAKAS REGENCY OF MINAHASA.The purpose of raising ducks by members of the Kinakas Jaya group was to produce eggs and meat. The eggs produced were around 60-70 percent of the total number of duck members owned by group members. The low production and productivity of ducks causes low income received by group members and not continuous whereas the demand for duck products has increased from year to year. Duck farming in North Sulawesi has a very large development prospect in terms of the population that tends to increase every year. The problem with raising ducks by group members was still traditional and the availability of DOD was not continuous. Based on these problems, empowerment of group members was carried out, namely extension and introduction of hatching machines. The research was conducted with the aim to find out the extent of empowerment activities in supporting duck business in Paslaten Village, Kakas District. The research method used was a survey method. The sample location was Paslaten Village, which was determined by purposive sampling (a village with a group of duck farmers). Respondents were members of the Kinakas Jaya group who were empowered through the introduction of technology. The age of the respondents ranged from 42-50 years with junior high school level (37.5%) and high school 62.5%. Extension was done and responded well by group members. Furthermore, the process of hatching eggs was carried out by group members. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the technology was successfully adopted by group members, but the success rate of hatching eggs was still low. Suggestions submitted need to increase the frequency of counseling and application of technology
