Risk Analysis Of Dairy Cow Milk Production

Abstract

Dairy farmers need to know the risk management strategies in dairy cow milk production process to reach the optimal production and preventing decrease. Pangudi Mulyo Animal Husbandry Group is a farmer group that engaged in dairy cows business and makes dairy milk as its main product. This study aimed to identify risks and set priorities for handling and analyzing risk management strategies for dairy cow milk production. This research was conducted in December 2019-January 2020 in Pangudi Mulyo Animal Husbandry Group located in Randusari Hamlet, Nongkosawit Village, Gunungpati District, Semarang. The method used in this study was census method, by taking 33 active members of the Pangudi Mulyo Animal Husbandry Group. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews according to the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using quantitative analysis with the House of Risk (HOR) Phase 1 and Phase 2 methods. The results shows that there were 17 risk events and 17 risk agents in HOR Phase 1 and there were 8 risk agents that needed handling based on the high value of Aggregate Risk Potential (ARP). There are identified 13 risk management strategies obtained from HOR phase 2 in accordance with the Effectiveness of Difficult (ETD) assessment of risk agents that need to be addressed.

The Dynamics of Cow Farmer Group towards the Development of Feed Canning Technology

“…According to (Amam & Harsita, 2019) and (Larasati, Roessali, & Setiadi, 2021) stated that the growth of dairy cows will certainly increase milk production, but domestic milk production was still unable to meet national consumption, only 21% was fulfilled while 79% needs were still supplied by other countries or imported and made dependence on imported milk. This can occur due to less optimal lactation process where the cows' productivity process was influenced by two kinds of factors such as genetic and environmental factors, where external environmental factors such as feed, climate, and maintenance management and internal factors such as lactation period, lactation duration, empty period, and dry period affected about 70% of the total production (Mahmud et al, 2020).…”

“…The farmer group was certainly one of the media to introduce this innovation, where with a dynamic farmer group; it will be easier for innovation to be distributed and convinced farmers to apply. Larasati et al, (2021) explained that this was also motivated from problem of expensive additional feed, resulted in farmers were unable to meet these needs.…”
