Peranan Teknologi Inseminasi Buatan (IB) pada Produksi Sapi Potong di Indonesia

Abstract

As a source of animal protein, beef has a strategic value in the Indonesian economy. National beef production growth is slower than that of consumption. It leads to an increased import. Lower growth of national beef production is due to low productivity of beef cattle. One of steps to achieving beef self-sufficiency policy is beef cattle productivity improvement through optimizing artificial insemination (AI). This study aims to analyze the impact of technology improvements through increased application of AI dosage on the performance of beef cattle industry, the livestock subsector, and forecasting beef self-sufficiency achievement in Indonesia. This study utilized annual time series data from 1990 to 2011. The data were analysed using an econometric model with simultaneous equations. Parameters were estimated using a Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) method. Forecasting domestic beef production and demand uses the econometric models. Results of the study reveal that (a) increasing dosages of AI applications will increase domestic cattle population and beef production, lower domestic beef prices, increase national beef demand, as well as improve GDP and employment of livestock subsector, (b) technological improvements by increasing dosages of AI application will accelerate achievement of beef self-sufficiency in Indonesia.

Enhancing Beef Supply through Beef Self-Sufficiency Policy in Indonesia: An Econometric Approach

“…This result proved findings from earlier studies, which demonstrated that supportive policies could enhance the value of beef production [21]. According to Kusriatmi et al [2], Constraints imposed on the importation of feeder cattle and beef could augment both domestic beef production and demand for beef. Meanwhile, the estimation results of national beef demand yield an R squared of 0.948, indicating that 94.80 percent of the variability in beef demand is accounted for by the variation in the variables within this model.…”

“…The growing population and increasing incomes impact the demand for beef as an animal-based food source [1]. The beef supply in Indonesia currently originates from domestic cattle, imported cattle, and imported beef [2]. The import of breeding cattle in Indonesia tends to fluctuate, whereas the import of fattening cattle has shown an increasing trend over the past two decades [3].…”

Production, Reproduction of Aceh and Pesisir Cows in Indonesia: Paper

“…Uncontrolled or overly restrictive mating patterns can lead to erosion of genetic material (Yendraliza, 2005). Efforts to improve genetic quality are carried out through selection followed by the mating system by utilizing reproductive technology (Kusriatmi et al, 2016). The problem in the reproductive system of pesisir cows and aceh cows is the lack of availability of superior males so that the males who are used as checkers are young cows that are < 2 years old.…”

Prevalensi Cacing Fasciola Hepatica Pada Sapi Akseptor Program Upsus Siwab Di Kabupaten Muna

“…Jenis ternak yang banyak diusahakan di Kabupaten Muna adalah sapi dan kambing, sedangkan jenis unggas yang banyak dibudidayakan adalah ayam buras. [27] Sistem usaha peternakan di Indonesia ada beberapa macam diantaranya untuk tujuan produksi sapi potong, pembibitan dan sapi perah [14]. Pola pemeliharaan ternak yang diterapkan masih menggunakan pola pemeliharaan induk-anak untuk menghasilkan bakalan/pedet [15] [16].…”
