Integrated Farming Model of Small Ruminants in Deli Serdang, North Sumatra - Indonesia

Abstract

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur nilai tambah ternak kambing dan domba dengan sistem pemberian pakan cut and carry dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi produktivitas ternak serta nilai tambah pemanfaatan kotoran untuk produktivitas tanaman. Penelitian dilakukan di Kabupaten Deli Serdang dengan menentukan dua kecamatan sebagai lokasi penelitian yaitu Kecamatan Tanjung Morawa dan Kecamatan Bangun Purba. Penentuan lokasi dilakukan secara purposive sampling berdasarkan populasi ternak ruminansia kecil dan luas perkebunan sawit yang terdapat di dua kecamatan tersebut. Sampel yang diambil sebanyak 100 sampel terdiri dari 50 responden peternak kambing dan 50 peternak domba yang ada di areal perkebunan kelapa sawit. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata pemilikan kambing di lokasi penelitian sebanyak 18 sampai 24 ekor. Penampilan reproduksi kambing dan domba mendekati rata-rata secara umum. Jumlah induk, pakan dari kelapa sawit dan tanaman sela, jenis ternak dan lokasi berpengaruh sangat nyata terhadap produktivitas ternak (P<0,01). Kambing menyumbang kotoran sebanyak 16,86 % dan 11,26 % dari total pohon kelapa sawit yang ada di Tanjung Murawa dan Bangun Purba, sedangkan domba menyumbang kotoran 21,49% dan 22,56 % dari total pohon kelapa sawit. Untuk meningkatkan produktivitas tanaman dan ternak maka disarankan untuk menambah populasi ternak, meningkatkan teknologi dan diversifikasi usaha melalui kerjasama dengan badan pemerintah, perguruan tinggi dan swasta.

The research was done in Deli Serdang Regency by determining two districts as research area: Tanjung Morawa District and Bangun Purba District. Location was determined by purposive sampling technique based on population of small ruminants and area of oil palm plantation in both districts. Sample consisted of 50 goat farmers and 50 sheep farmers. Results indicated that farmers have 18 to 24 heads of goats or sheep. Performance of goat and sheep reproduction tended to similar to genereral performance. Amount of doe, feed from palm oil and intercropped plant, livestock type and location influence significantly at livestock productivity (P<0.01). Goat contributed manure 16.86% and 11.26% of total palm trees in Tanjung Morawa and Bangun Purba, respectively, while sheep contributed manure 21.49% and 22.56% of total palm trees, respectively. Therefore, it was necessary to increase population of livestock, to increase technology and diversification of production. It may be done by Integrated Farming Model of Small Ruminants (T.A. Kusumastuti et al ) 115establishing partnership with local government, animal of science office and private corporation .

Antimicrobial resistance profiles of Escherichia coli derived from an integrated agroforestry-livestock system in Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia

“…While much attention has been focused on animal species raised in typical farm production settings, AMR in livestock from integrated livestock and agroforestry systems may also serve as a comparable source of AMR risks to animals, humans, and the environment (One Health approach). AMR in E. coli derived from ruminant livestock reared within this particular system, which is widely implemented across several regions of Indonesia [44][45][46]51], is limited. In the current study, most livestock farmers reported high antimicrobial usage on their farms.…”

“…Agro-silvopastoral systems integrate the production of animals with trees and crops [42,43]. In North Sumatra Province [44,45], including Deli Serdang Regency [46,47], livestock production integrated with oil palms and forests has been reported. Crops and oil palm plantations predominate on agricultural land in this area, whereas goats, cattle, broilers, and laying chickens and pigs are the main animal producers [48].…”

Potential Utilization of Oil Palm Plantation Waste Supports Beef Cattle Development in West Sulawesi

“…Livestock rearing in plantation areas using an intensive system (cut and carry) does not hurt oil palm. An extensive system with livestock released in oil palm plantations can damage the main crop [14]. The presence of cattle in palm oil plantations is expected to control weeds on plantation land [15].…”
