Strengthening Social Capital Communities in Livestock Management (Case Study: Belung Village)

Abstract

Belung Village, Malang Regency, has excellent potential in the livestock sector. However, livestock waste management is still traditional, and some are disposed of directly into the river. This study looks at the livestock community's role as a social capital booster in managing livestock waste in Belung Village. The method used in this study is a case study, with research subjects cattle and goat breeders. The data used are primary data obtained from in-depth interviews. The results of this study indicate that the regular sharing of the Terimo Dadi community in livestock management and collaboration with the State University through research and service activities can improve livestock health and value added to livestock manure.
