The research was conducted to measure the level of farmer’s household food security in Moncongloe Bulu village, Maros South Sulawesi. The research was mainly focused on the food supply, food accessibility, food utilization, and the food consumption in connection with the national standard of food consumption recommended by government of Indonesia. Survey method was used to collect primary data as well as secondary data based on questioner to interview 30 household in the village. Descriptively analysis was employed to obtain a scientific conclusion of the research. The result of this research suggested that the level of food security of household in the Moncongloe Bulu village was very high (32%). The average food consumption of energy (2.485 kcal/capita/d) and total protein (84.5 g/capita/d) of household in Moncongloe Bulu villages were higher than that of national standard recommended by government of Indonesia. It was also found that the food security was closely correlated with food consumption, purchasing ability which influenced by household income, job availability, level of education of father as well as mother in each of household. To get extra job available during their spare time was the way of the farmers to increase their income and to improve their accessibility to food and to finally improve their quality of life. In conclusion, the level of food security of household in Moncongloe Bulu village were very high. The level of food security determined the level of food consumption which is affected by household income, availability of job, and the level of education. It is suggested that the cause of food insecurity is not only determined by the degree of food supply itself, but it may also be caused by the lack of a good governance implementation, food distribution, and the effort in empowering the farmers.
Spotted deer (Axis axis) is one of the animals that are currently being developed as source of animal protein for people in Indonesia. A spotted deer breeding center can be successfully developed by providing feed with a good quality and having enough nutrient. The main purpose of this study was to determine the feed organic matter consumption of a group of 36 deer fed carrot, feed concentrate, and elephant grass. Feeding of the three feedstuffs was carried out for three weeks with different feedstuffs each week. In the first week of experiment, a group of 36 deer was given carrot (Diet-1), the second week the deer was given feed concentrate (Diet-2), and the third week the deer was given elephant grass (Diet-3). Water was freely available to the deer every day. The consumption of feed organic matter and the feed palatability were measured 5 days each week, then the deer was given 2 days’ adaption period for new feed. Data of organic matter consumption of feed the analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance (Anova). The results showed that the organic matter feed consumption was significantly difference (p<0.05) between those of the three difference feedstuffs. Those 21 deer consumed organic matter of carrot 12kg/day, feed concentrate 13kg/day, and elephant grass 4kg/day, respectively. A similar trial was conducted to a group of 9 deer, and the results of this trial just confirmed the results of the previous experiment. It was concluded that the different of organic matter consumption of the three feedstuffs may be due to difference of the palatability of the feedstuffs.
Hijauan pakan sangat penting bagi ternak ruminansia. Leguminosa pohon mampu menghasilkan sumber pakan berkelanjutan, yang dapat menyokong ketersediaan pakan bagi ternak ruminansia dan konsentrat hijau. Fraksi serat pada pengujian kualitas pakan secara kimiawi lebih sesuai untuk pakan ruminansia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis fraksi serat dari beberapa legum pohon terpilih. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan empat perlakuan jenis legum pohon terpilih dan tiga kelompok sebagai ulangan. T1 (daun turi), T2 (daun lamtoro), T3 (daun kaliandra), dan T4 (daun kelor). Data diolah dengan bantuan software SPSS versi 26. Perlakuan yang berpengaruh nyata, dilanjutkan dengan uji jarak berganda Duncan. Hasil sidik ragam menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan jenis legum pohon terpilih berpengaruh nyata (P<0.05) terhadap kandungan NDF, ADF, lignin, hemiselulosa, selulosa, sementara abu tak larut (ATL) tidak berpengaruh nyata (P>0,05). Berdasarkan fraksi serat yang diperoleh pada penelitian ini, disimpulkan bahwa keempat legum pohon terpilih berkualitas baik, sangat berpotensi sebagai pakan dan konsentrat hijau. Kandungan lignin terendah yaitu sebesar 2,49% pada daun kelor.
