Banana commodity has a crucial role in supporting the economic growth of Lumajang Regency, especially in Seroja Agropolitan Area. One aspect that must be observed in the development of banana commodity is how to pay attention to regional conditions, bearing in mind that each region has different characteristics. The objectives of this study are to find out that Seroja, the Agropolitan area, is a banana commodity production base area and the forecast of banana commodity production in the next five years. The locations of the study are Senduro and Pasrujambe Subdistricts, with the consideration that the sub-district is the Seroja Agropolitan area Lumajang Regency. The research method applies an analytical approach. The data collection method uses secondary data, in which the available statistical data has been published by BPS. The data analysis method used is base and non-base sector analysis Location Quotient and Box-Jenkins Model (ARIMA) analysis. The results show that out of 21 districts in Lumajang Regency there are Pasrujambe and Senduro. The LQ value of Pasrujambe is 2.02 and Senduro is 2.01. This means that Pasrujambe and Senduro Subdistricts in the Seroja Agropolitan Area are centers of banana potential and must be managed as continuously as possible. The banana production forecast for 2018-2027 tends to be constant and decrease. This is consistent with the previous year of fluctuating production data and tends to decline.

Production and availability of plant species have an essential role as cattle feed. Feed supplies for animal depend on plant species to produce more preferred types of quantity and quality. The purpose of this study was to select dominance of plant species to increasing productivity and develop grazing area. The study was conducted at field farming with large area ± 1.2 ha, consists of 6 cows, and 10 goats in Bondowoso. Identification of species composition was conducted following method Braun-Blanquet scale using a line transect of 0-70 m at every 10 m interval to determine the adaptation of plant species. The purpose of this study was to determine the population of dominance plant species (%), and as information for the conservation of land areas to increase the availability of animal feed in Jember, East Java. The number of plant species as animal feed were 22, consist of 12 types of grass, 6 types of legumes, and 4 types of weeds. The population of grass species more than 75% consisted of Axonopus compessus (85.71%), Para Grass (82.14%), Bracharia decumben (75.00%), Kyllinga Brevifolia (75.00%), and clover was Centrosema Molle (78.57%). The comparison frequency between plant species consists of grass 57.77%, legumes 22.31%, and weeds 19.92%. The observation diversity of plant height was 17.16 cm, vegetation cover rate was 71%. The findings of this study suggest that Axonopus Compessus, Para Grass, Bracharia Decumben, Kyllinga Brevifolia, and Centrosema Molle are the dominance of plant species could increase production, and availability cattle feed in the grazing area.

Independent farmers principally provide all production inputs from their own capital and can liberally conveytheir products on the market. From the problems found in the real life, thus the purposes of this study are: 1) to assess the resources that can be accessed by independent broiler breeders, 2) to find the strength of independent broiler breeders’ resources that support business development.A total of 144 independent pattern broiler breeders are still running their livestock businesses in Malang Regency. Data were analyzed using SEM (Structural Equation Model) with SmartPLS 2.0 application. The results showed that: 1) independent broiler breeders have access to financial resources, technological resources, physical resources, economic resources, environmental resources, and social resources; and 2) financial, technological, physical, economic, environmental and social resources affect farmer human resources by 82.7%, while financial, technological, physical, economic, environmental, social, and HR resources have an influence on the development of chicken farming broiler at 16.3%. Economic resources have a direct and significant negative effect on the development of independent pattern broiler farming.

Peranan Sivitas Akademika dalam pembangunan peternakan berkelanjutan salah satunya ialah dengan menetapkan standar kompetensi lulusan program studi sarjana peternakan. Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2012 menyebutkan bahwa standar nasional pendidikan tinggi ialah satuan standar yang meliputi standar nasional pendidikan, ditambah dengan standar penelitian, dan standar pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Tujuan kajian ini ialah menemukan pengaruh standar kompetensi lulusan program studi sarjana peternakan terhadap pembangunan peternakan berkelanjutan. Variabel penelitian terdiri dari standar kompetensi lulusan program studi sarjana peternakan (Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia Nomor 3 Tahun 2020) dan 5 (lima) dimensi pembangunan peternakan berkelanjutan, yaitu dimensi ekologi, ekonomi, sosial dan budaya, kelembagaan, dan teknologi. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan survei digital dengan kuisioner berskala likert menggunakan aplikasi google form. Responden merupakan mahasiswa Program Studi Peternakan, Fakultas Pertanian, Universitas Jember. Responden yang bersedia mengisi kuisioner digital sebanyak 47 mahasiswa. Data dianalisis secara parsial dengan menggunakan regresi linier sederhana menggunakan IBM Statistics 26. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa standar kompetensi lulusan program studi sarjana peternakan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap dimensi ekologi sebesar 0,618, dimensi ekonomi sebesar 0,783, dimensi sosial dan budaya sebesar 0,694, dimensi kelembagaan sebesar 0,726, dan dimensi teknologi sebesar 0,872. Kesimpulan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa standar kompetensi lulusan Program Studi Sarjana Peternakan Universitas Jember mendukung upaya pembangunan peternakan berkelanjutan. Rekomendasi penelitian yaitu dibutuhkan perhatian khusus terkait kebijakan-kebijakan yang melibatkan peranan mahasiswa dalam  mendukung pembangunan peternakan berkelanjutan yang sesuai dengan kurikulum merdeka belajar.

Usaha ternak sapi potong rakyat dikelola secara intensif dan tradisional, dikelola masyarakat pedesaan pada skala kepemilikan 1-2 ekor dengan sumber daya terbatas. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengulas profil usaha peternakan sapi potong rakyat. Penelitian dilakukan di Desa Jatian, Kecamatan Pakusari, Kabupaten Jember. Lokasi penelitian dipilih secara purposive dengan pertimbangan sebagai bagian dari Rencana Kerja (Renja) Program Satu Desa Satu Dosen (SDSD) yang merupakan salah satu wujud kerjasama Pemerintah Kabupaten Jember dengan Universitas Jember melalui Tenaga Ahli Pendamping Desa (TAPD). Pengumpulan data menggunakan metode observasi, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), dan servei. Survei lisan dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam (depth interview) dan survei tulisan dilakukan dengan pengisian kuisioner terbuka  dan tertutup dengan menggunakan skala likert. Responden penelitian ialah seluruh peternak di Desa Jatian (total sampling). Data dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif dengan IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Usaha peternakan rakyat didominasi oleh peternak tua dengan usia >61 tahun sebanyak 34%, didominasi oleh peternak dengan pendidikan formal level Sekolah Dasar (SD) sebanyak 62%, namun memiliki pengalaman memeilihara sapi >12 tahun sebanyak 67%.
