Interaction of integrating land use systems on pig farming systems, West Papua-Indonesia; worth or worse?

Abstract

In the pattern of livestock keeping systems, livestock can have free access path to natural resources such as forests, scrubs, water, natural shading, wastes, and residues. How they use and do interact with land use systems particularly the pigs, become the focus of this assessment. the study areas will cover four districts, i.e. Warmare, Prafi, Masni and Sidey. The total areas of study therefore is 1,022.67 km2 (102,266.54 ha). Data collected from BPS board of Manokwari, Papua Barat. Data were analyzed using Statistical descriptive and shown in tables. Pictures were drawn using Arc GIS and Microsoft Visio. There are 11 types of land use systems which have roles in ecosystem and livestock-human interaction. Land use was dominated by tropical forest and followed by oil palm plantation, communal land, transmigrate areas and arable land. Beef cattle present dominantly the land use systems in agro-complex of Prafi, followed by pigs and goat. Further study is needed to prove the effect of interaction on sustainability indicators, i.e. society, economic and environment.

Livestock Forage Resources in Manokwari Lowland Valley; A Case Study of West Papua’ Abundancy, Richness, and Potential

“…The basis for choosing these four areas is that these areas have been widely used for several types of uses, namely plantations, transmigration areas, arable land, communal land, and as livestock production centers in Manokwari. The total study area is 1,022.67 km 2 (102,266.54 ha) (Iyai et al, 2020). In general, the profile of the study area consists of coastal, lowland and highland areas.…”

“…The length sizes of land use in study areas are dominated by tropical forest (64.31%), followed by oil palm plantation (23.16%), communal land (4.88%), transmigrate areas (2.12%), arable land (2.09%), and river (1.54%). The rest of less than 1.00% is occupied by ponds (0.11%), grasslands (0.0016%), terrestrial empty land (0.85%), coastal empty land, paddy field (0.78%) (Iyai et al, 2020). Ponds are located inside forest covers areas.…”

“…In developing countries like Indonesia, livestock such as cows, goats, sheep and pigs can have free space to maintain their natural life activities (Kondombo 2005;Mutibvu et al, 2012). Land uses in Manokwari consist of tropical forests (64.31%), followed by oil palm plantations (23.16%), communal land (4.88%), transmigrate areas (2.12%), arable land (2, 09%), and paddy fields (0.78%) (Iyai et al, 2020) . The one is for planting oil palm fruits (Elaeis guineensis).…”

“…Total areas of oil palm are 350.000 ha. Besides, land size where paddy is grown is 3144,83 ha, followed by mays 1334,67 ha, and taro 475,26 ha (Iyai et al, 2020) .…”
