The objective of this research was to determine the potential uses of dry matter in the average daily gain of beef cattle and rice straw carrying capacity as a feed alternative. The research used an analytical survey approach, and the location was chosen via purposive sampling. Data collection consisted of conducting interviews and observations based on a questionnaire; then, the collected data were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between dry matter intake level and average daily gain; simple linear regression analysis was used to measure the effect of dry matter intake level on average daily gain. The results revealed that the average daily gain of beef cattle in North Samarinda, Palaran, Sambutan, and Samarinda Ulu (Indonesia) was 0.44 kg, 0.45 kg, 0.45 kg, and 0.45 kg, respectively. The analysis results of dry matter intake level on average daily gain obtained via the regression equation (Y) were as follows: Ỷ = 0.013 + 0.945X. This indicates that every intake of 0.945 kg of dry matter would yield an average daily gain increase of 0.013 kg. Effective utilization of available abundant feed resources (rice straw) is the key to economic maintenance of cattle; however, it tends to have low nutrition and low digestibility, so it is not given as a single feed because it cannot meet beef cattle’s dietary needs. This research found that rice straw production (each hectare of rice area) was able to supply alternative feed for beef cattle of 2.7 animal units per year.
Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui jarak yang ditempuh oleh petani dalam memperoleh hijauan pakan dan mengetahui waktu yang diperlukan dalam pemberian hijauan pakan. Penelitian menggunakan metode survei melalui pendekatan observasi dengan teknik wawancara langsung kepada peternak sapi potong dengan kuesioner. Lokasi penelitian ditentukan secara purpossive sampling dengan kriteria sistem pemeliharaan intensif. Metode analisis data menggunakan analisis deskriptif kuantitatif dan analisis regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jarak yang ditempuh oleh peternak di Desa Sumber Sari Kecamatan Loa Kulu Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara dalam menyediakan hijauan pakan untuk satu ekor sapi berkisar antara 113 m sampai dengan 1.000 m. Lama penyediaan pakan untuk satu ekor sapi berkisar antara 1.167 detik (19 menit 27 detik) sampai dengan 2.270 detik (37 menit 50 detik). Lama pemberian pakan yang berkisar antara 28 detik sampai dengan 126 detik (2 menit 6 detik). Faktor yang mempengaruhi lama penyediaan pakan adalah jarak tempuh. Faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi lama pemberian pakan adalah cara pemberian pakan dan frekuensi pemberian pakan.
Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian pupuk kandang ayam dan jarak tanam yang berbeda terhadap komponen produksi rumput gajah mini (Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott). Percobaan dilaksanakan di desa Makroman, kecamatan Sambutan, kota Samarinda. Rancangan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan pola faktorial, dimana perlakuan dosis pupuk kandang ayam terdiri atas 4 perlakuan, yaitu 0 ton ha-1 (p0), 5 ton ha-1 (p1), 10 ton ha-1 (p2) dan 15 ton ha-1 (p3), sedangkan perlakuan jarak tanam terdiri atas 3 perlakuan, yaitu 50 x 100 cm (k1), 75 x 100 cm (k2), dan 100 x 100 cm (k3). Seluruh perlakuan diulang sebanyak 3 kali. Data dianalisis dengan analisis sidik ragam yang dilanjutkan dengan uji beda nyata terkecil pada taraf 5%. Variabel yang diamati meliputi tinggi tanaman, panjang daun, jumlah daun, jumlah anakan, berat segar, berat kering, dan imbangan daun/batang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dosis pupuk kandang ayam memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman, panjang daun, jumlah daun, jumlah anakan, berat segar dan berat kering, sedangkan perlakuan jarak tanam berpengaruh nyata pada tinggi tanaman, panjang daun, berat kering, dan imbangan daun/batang. Tidak terjadi interaksi antara perlakuan dosis pupuk kandang dan jarak tanam terhadap seluruh komponen produksi rumput gajah mini yang diukur.
Since it was established in 2010 until 2016, Bali cattle farming and its byproduct of the Agricultural and Rural Training Center (P4S = Pusat Pelatihan Pertanian dan Pedesaan Swadaya) had never been evaluated for its financial analysis. This research aimed to evaluate the financial analysis of Bali cattle farming and its byproduct in the P4S of Cahaya Purnama. This research was conducted from September to December 2016 in the P4S of Cahaya Purnama, Tepian Baru Village, Bengalon Sub-district, East Kutai District. The sample was taken by using purposive sampling method with the criterion that the cattle were 8 to 24 months old. The instruments used to analyze the data were Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Benefit/Cost Ratio, Payback Period and Return of Investment (ROI). Bali cattle farming business consisted of the development of Bali beef cattle as the main business and manure processing as the byproduct. Manure processing business was the attempt of the manager to utilize the waste of cattle and it was expected that it was able to add income for the farmers. The model of Bali cattle development was the integration between oil palm plantation and Bali cattle farming. The research findings showed that the NPV was 9%, indicating that the business was minus with the amount of Rp. 19,393,858, so that the value of IRR was not known. The value of Net B/C Ratio was 0.97; the value of payback period was 0.83 or 9 years; and the value of ROI was minus with the percentage of 19%. Therefore, the Bali cattle farming business was not feasible to continue and there should be some improvements needed to make it better.
