“…This also dictated the larger number of offspring available for breeding stock for selection programmes (Peacock 1996;Abebe 2009) consequently improved the ratio of units of output per units of input to achieve efficient goat production (Knipscheer et al 1984;James & Carles 1996).…”

“…Goats were farmed as the main source of income or to provide a secondary income source in addition to producing fertilizer for vegetable or crop growers (Cempaka et al 2016). Their initial and maintenance costs were low as they utilised marginal land, had low labour costs, utilised crop residues and agricultural by-products, and required simple housing structures (Knipscheer et al 1984;Soedjana 2005). Other roles of goats for Indonesian smallholder farmers included their inclusion in social/religious ceremonies, particularly Eid Qurban (Budisatria 2006;Budisatria et al 2008).…”

“…PE or Etawah Grade crossbreds have gradually been increasing in number and in popularity (Knipscheer et al 1984). This was due to this breed being well adjusted to Indonesia's humid tropical environment; in addition to their ability to survive on low quality feed (Suranindyah 2004), and produce quality, and larger quantities of milk (Suranindyah et al 2009a;Zurriyati et al 2011).…”

“…This efficiency of goat production was measured by estimating the following production parameters: turn off rate, kidding rate, weaning rate, inter kidding interval, growth rates of different classes of goats, and gross margin analysis (Knipscheer et al 1984;Peacock 1987;James & Carles 1996;Bosman et al 1997a;Bosman et al 1997b) (Anonymous 2004a). The overall aim was to identify the factors (constraints) that reduce the overall efficiency of goat production under smallholder production systems in Bali Province.…”

i AbstractLack of baseline quantitative data on the reproductive and productive performance of goats in Bali Province has limited our ability to identify factors that could lead to their improvement. This study aimed to rectify this lack of data and to measure constraints to, challenges of, and opportunities for improving goat production in Bali, through a hybrid method of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats and Analytic Hierarchy Process analyses.Data was collected through direct observations, structured formal household interviews, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and case studies as well as from the surrounding environment and market assessments from January to September 2014. This involved interviewing 175 households with 2,017 goats. Of these, 63 households with 1,169 goats were in Rendang District, Karangasem Regency; 44 households with 590 goats were in Banjar, Busungbiu and Grogak Districts in Buleleng Regency; and 68 households with 258 goats were in Mendoyo District, Jembrana Regency. Data was analysed by using descriptive statistics, correlate bivariate and general linear model multivariate using SPSS version 24.Results revealed that households had an average of 2.3 labourers with a ratio of 5.2 ± 0.4 goats per labourer who were aged 42 ± 1 year. This indicated that household labourers in Bali Province worked 412 ± 9.9 hours/household/year to look after 11.5 ± 0.9 goats/flock in either battery or colony housing with a cut and carry feeding system. Farmers cultivated on average 1.4 ± 0.05 ha/household with vegetables or commodity plantations integrated with goat rearing for 10.5 ± 0.7 years. Of the 175 farmers, 63%, 21% and 15% of farmers graduated from Grades 6, 9 and 12, respectively, and only one farmer graduated from university. This study generated new, important and detailed information on goat production by smallholder farmers in Bali Province. Suggested ways to improve goat production included: High performance (as indicated by GM/doe) was associated with a higher turn off rate (underpinned by a higher reproductive rate); Organic goat rearing management in Rendang District was a model for Bali; The ideal labourer to goat flock size ratio was 1:20 goats; At least 25% of the flock should be does, with a 75% annual turn off rate; The kidding interval should be 8 months; Does should only be kept up to their fourth or fifth kidding; Farmers need to keep records of their goats; A -One gate marketing system‖ should be used to maintain profitable market prices; and  Farmers needed networks with the Indonesia Research Institute for Animal Production to ensure quality breeds, feeds and efficient rearing goat management systems were used in Bali.

This paper discusses the historical development of fat-tailed sheep in Indonesia, the dynamics of production systems, production and reproduction performances under farmers’ conditions, and roles of sheep in livelihoods. In the eighteenth and nineteenth century, fat-tailed sheep from southwest Asia and Africander sheep from South Africa were introduced. Crossing of fat-tailed sheep with the local thin-tailed sheep produced the Javanese fat-tailed sheep. Main motives for the gradual change-over to fat-tailed sheep have been their potential larger body size and the preference of consumers for their meat. Management systems are changing in response to the intensification of land use. The reproductive performances of fat-tailed sheep are good. Households keep four to six animals, housed close to the family quarters. This results in very high levels of faecal bacteria contamination of drinking water sources. Sheep provide a small income, manure, security and help to accumulate capital. Sheep also play a key role in religious festivities. Farmers hardly profit from the increased demand for the feast of sacrifice; animals are sold mainly when the owners have urgent cash needs. Systematic sheep fattening can contribute to higher economic results, if sufficient family labour and crop residues are available.
