Indonesia has a commitment to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emission by 29% with its own efforts, and 41% with international support, until 2030. The GHG National Action Plan (RAN GRK) from Bapenas includes activities on monitoring, evaluation and reporting related to mitigation actions from each sector. National program on GHG mitigation action for livestock is feed supplement, which was implemented since 2011 in several provinces including West Java. Subang as one of 14 districts in West Java who received feed supplement program during year 2011-2016. The aim of this activity was to evaluate the GHG mitigation program in 5 subdistrict in Subang, West Java by interviewing farmers who have implemented the feed supplement program. Calculation of reduction CH 4 emission was undertaken by using two methods, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Result showed that about 59.07% of the existing livestock population have received feed supplement in the form of concentrate and legume plants. In Cibogo sub-district 99.29% of farmers raising beef cattle have implemented the program, while the only 35.52% in Tanjungsiang sub-district followed that program indicating high variation in program adoption by farmers in each subdistrict. Mitigation actions by feed supplement program reduced enteric CH 4 emissions from beef cattle by 0.6631 CO 2-eq ton/year (calculated by Tier 1 method), and by 0.0545 CO 2-eq ton/year (calculated by Tier 2 method). It can be concluded that national program of feed supplement (concentrate and legume plant) can reduce GHG emission from livestock.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
