Teknologi Pakan Berkelanjutan Berbasis Maggot dan Jagung sebagai Strategi Efisiensi Produksi Unggas di Kelompok Peternak Sinar Harapan

Abstract

This empowerment program aims to enhance the capacity and independence of the Sinar Harapan Farmer Group (KPSH) through the development and implementation of local feed technology based on Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot and corn. The activities began with an assessment of group needs, followed by technical training on maggot cultivation, maggot meal production, corn flour processing, and cost-effective feed formulation that meets nutritional standards. The training successfully improved participants’ theoretical understanding and practical skills, resulting in an increase in feed availability from 30% before the program to 100% after its implementation. A standardized local feed production unit was also established and equipped with a dryer, grinder, mixer, and maggot cultivation facilities, enabling consistent and high-quality feed ingredient production. KPSH is now able to produce 3–5 kg of fresh maggot per day and process it into nutrient-rich maggot meal, reducing feed costs while supporting sustainable organic waste management. The production of corn flour from locally sourced corn further strengthens feed independence and production stability. The adoption of maggot- and corn-based feed has been proven to improve feed efficiency and the productivity of IPB-D1 chickens, while also creating new economic opportunities through maggot meal commercialization. To ensure program sustainability, a trained technical team was established and a long-term development plan was prepared. Overall, this program demonstrates that appropriate technology and the utilization of local resources can strengthen farmer independence, improve poultry production efficiency, and generate positive impacts on community welfare.
