ABSTRAKKabupaten Boyolali merupakan sentra peternakan sapi perah di Jawa Tengah. Namun demikian, kualitas susu segar peternakan rakyat masih rendah karena masih rendahnya praktik higiene dan sanitasi pemerahan. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kualitas susu segar peternakan sapi perah rakyat melalui penyuluhan dan pendampingan peternak. Untuk itu, sebanyak 10 peternak selektif di Kecamatan Sruni dan 12 peternak selektif di Kecamatan Lanjaran menjadi sasaran tiga tahap kegiatan. Pertama, pendataan awal tingkat higiene dan sanitasi pemerahan berdasarkan Uji Usap Agar Darah pada peralatan pemerahan. Kedua, implementasi penyuluhan dan pendampingan peternak, sekaligus untuk memantau pelaksanaan praktik higiene dan sanitasi pemerahan. Ketiga, pengambilan sampel susu segar untuk melihat jumlah total kuman menggunakan Total Plate Count (TPC). Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa tingkat higiene dan sanitasi untuk tahap pertama sangat buruk, dengan 60,4 sampel susu segar berada pada standar 6 (38.000 kuman/ml susu). Setelah implementasi penyuluhan dan pendampingan, sebanyak 95,5 sampel susu memiliki jumlah total kuman yang rendah, yaitu di bawah standar maksimum SNI, yaitu 1,0 x 10 6 cfu/ml. Hanya satu peternak (4,5) yang memiliki TPC sebesar 4,4 x 10 6 cfu/ml. Dengan demikian, terlihat bahwa intervensi penyuluhan dan pendampingan kepada peternak telah berhasil meningkatkan kualitas susu di peternakan rakyat.Kata kunci: pendampingan, penyuluhan, peternakan rakyat, sanitasi, susu
ABSTRACTBoyolali District is the center area of dairy farm in Central Java Province. However, the quality of fresh milk of small scale dairy farm was still low due to a low quality of farming practice on hygiene and sanitation. The purpose of this activity was to improve the quality of fresh milk of small scale dairy farm through an extension and guidance of the farmers in using good hygiene and sanitation practices. For this purpose, 10 selecting farmers at Sruni Sub-district and 12 selecting farmers at Lanjaran Sub-district were subjected to intervention of three stages activities. First, collection of preliminary data of the level of hygiene and sanitation on milking process using Blood Agar Swab Test of milking equipment. Second, implementation of extension and advisory intervention. Third, evaluation of the microbiological milk quality based on Total Plate Count (TPC). The results showed that the hygiene and sanitation level of the first condition was considered as a bad category which 60.4% samples of fresh milk were on sixth standard (38.000 microorganism/ml of milk). After implementing extension and advisory intervention, 95.5% samples of fresh milk had a total microbiological number below SNI maximum standard (1.0 x 10 6 cfu/ml). Only one sample (4.5%) had TPC of 4.4 x 10 6 cfu/ml. Based on this result, the extension and advisory intervention could be used as a basis approach to increase the quality of fresh milk of small scale dairy farms.Keywords: advisory, extension, milk, sanitation, small scale dairy farms
