Abstract

POTENTIAL ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF CATTLE WITH INTEGRATED COCONUT-COW IN SOUTH DISTRICT HALMAHERA NORTH MALUKU PROVINCE. Animal agricultural integration often found in South Halmahera district is the integration using coconut plantation and local beef pattern called coco-beef integration. Expected potential of land area, population of cattle supported by human and natural resources as well as market opportunities could develop coco-beef integration patterns providing the increasing economic impact for farmer welfare. This study aims to analyze the potential and development strategy of beef integration with coconut plantations in South Halmahera district. The research was conducted in South Halmahera district of North Maluku Province since November 2014 to February 2015. The determination of respondents was performed using simple random sampling method. Criteria of respondents involved in this study were household farmers running a coco-beef integration, at least animal maintenance of more than one year and they had sold cattle. The results showed the particular characteristics of household farmers including coconut plantation ownership of 3.2 ha with the average number of animals of 8.7 heads, the average education level of junior high school, the animal breeding experience of 7.9 years and animal maintenance purposes as beef production and animal labor . Management aspects of farm animals were still under the traditional maintenance systems, animals were resistant to disease, and house hold farmer knowledge on animal reproduction was still limited. Aspects of feed resources were positively supporting in the development of beef cattle under integration pattern, especially the nutritional value of forage and land carrying capacities. Livestock productivity aspects had quite well potential and supported facilities, including infrastructures. Therefore, it can be concluded that South Halmahera District has potential in the development of beef cattle farm applying cattle integration patterns in form of coco-beef natural resources supported by potentials of human resources, good government policy, infrastructure availability and market opportunities based on the analysis of the potential of South Halmahera district located in a strategic position as a development area of beef and coconut plantation integration patterns.

A Shade Tolerant Forage, Stenotaphrum secundatum, in the Oil Palm Plantation to Support Cattle Productivity

“…Hingga saat ini, belum ada alokasi lahan yang diperuntukkan secara khusus sebagai kawasan peternakan. Wawasan pembangunan peternakan saat ini telah melakukan pendekatan keberlanjutan dengan memanfaatkan peluang serta memberdayakan sumber daya perkebunan tanpa merusak kelestarian sumberdaya, sehingga integrasi dengan subsektor perkebunan merupakan pilihan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pakannya (Ismail & Wahab 2014;Rusnan et al 2015).…”

Potensi Pengembangan Ternak Sapi Potong Terintegrasi Tanaman Kelapa Dalam

“…Integrasi ternak dengan perkebunan kelapa dalam dapat menjadi cikal bakal pengembangan agribisnis berbasis ruminan-perkebunan (Zebedeus et al, 2018). Berkaitan dengan pengembangan peternakan, keuntungan dari pemanfaatan hasil perkebunan kelapa rakyat pada usaha peternakan sapi potong adalah bahan pakan mudah didapat, meningkatkan pendapatan perkebunan, membantu pengawasan lingkungan serta mengurangi pencemaran dan menambah penyediaan bahan pakan berupa hijauan yang terdapat pada area perkebunan (Rusnan et al, 2015;Oley et al, 2015).…”

Hambatan Dan Peluang Sisitem Pertanian Terpadu Di Era Modern

“…Sektor petanian memberikan pengaruh yang cukup besar (Wiyatna et al, 2012). Perkebunan kelapa merupakan salah satu komoditi andalan hal ini dapat dilihat dari luas lahan yang dipakai sebagai lahan perkebunan terutama perkebunan kelapa dan peternakan sapi potong komoditi unggulan ini terlihat dari jumlah populasi ternak sapi yang ada (Rusnan et al, 2015).…”
