Optimalisasi Pengelolaan Ternak Domba dan Kambing di Kelurahan Mulyaharja, Bogor Selatan

Abstract

This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge, skills, productivity and sustainability of sheep and goat farming regarding animal health control in Mulyaharja Subdistrict, South Bogor, through an integrated approach based on education, training and assistance in animal health control. The main partners are local  livestock groups in RW 01, 02, and 10, with the majority of livestock farmers being of productive age (46–65 years) and having a basic education background. This program will be implemented in August–November 2024, with four main activities: technical training in cultivation, feed management, livestock waste processing, and evaluation and monitoring. Technical training covers basic aspects of maintenance such as housing, livestock health, and treatment techniques. Feed management focuses on the utilization of local resources such as banana stems and elephant grass, producing high-quality silage. Livestock waste is processed into organic fertilizer, supporting the needs of local organic farming while reducing environmental pollution. The training includes the process of making, packaging, and marketing organic fertilizer, as well as treating diseases. The evaluation results show an increase in the knowledge and skills of livestock farmers in cultivation management and waste management. This program also strengthens the sustainability of the organic farming ecosystem in Mulyaharja. With great potential in the livestock and agriculture sectors, this activity builds a foundation for the development of organic-based agrotourism in the region.
