Summary

This video highlights a collaborative cattle fattening project led by the Tani Nek Mese farmer group in Ponain Village, in partnership with Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Kupang. The initiative focuses on improving cattle weight gain by providing them with locally produced pellet feed made from local materials. The project involves students from various agricultural departments, offering practical experience while addressing key challenges in livestock nutrition and management. The process includes cattle quarantine, transportation, and continuous feeding during their journey to Kalimantan, demonstrating an effective blend of academia and local farming practices.

Takeaways

• 😀 The project involves a collaboration between the Ponain Village cattle fattening group, Polytechnic of Kupang, and the Animal Husbandry Department to improve cattle farming.
• 😀 The goal of the project is to enhance livestock farming, including quarantine processes and the transportation of cattle between farms.
• 😀 The primary feed given to the cattle is corn straw, which can lead to a 10-20% weight loss during transport.
• 😀 To address the feed issue, a local pellet product has been developed using locally available ingredients to meet the nutritional needs of the cattle.
• 😀 The project includes a partnership with the Directorate General of Vocational Education to support the activities through funding.
• 😀 The pellets are designed to maintain nutritional standards for livestock during transportation, including a planned shipment to Kalimantan.
• 😀 Faculty from various departments, including Animal Husbandry, Agricultural Mechanization, and Social Economics, are involved in the project.
• 😀 The pellet production process involves the use of a pellet machine, and 20 students are participating in the project, including those working on their final assignments and internships.
• 😀 Some of the students are working on agricultural economics, focusing on cost analysis and the economic feasibility of the livestock management activities.
• 😀 The project will continue with further animal maintenance and use of the developed feed products, even during the sea transport to Kalimantan.
• 😀 The project aims to improve local cattle fattening practices while contributing to vocational training in the agricultural sector.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the collaboration between the various entities mentioned in the script?

The purpose of the collaboration is to support cattle fattening by utilizing matching funds from various sources, including the Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Kupang, and to improve livestock management, including quarantine processes and feed quality.

What is the primary feeding material used for the cattle, according to the report?

The primary feed given to the cattle is corn straw, which is used as a major part of their diet.

What challenge does the feeding material (corn straw) present during transportation?

When transported, the cattle typically experience a weight loss of 10 to 20%, which is a challenge for livestock management.

What solution is proposed to address the weight loss issue during transportation?

The proposed solution is the development and use of pellet feed, which is made from local ingredients and is nutritionally balanced to meet the cattle's needs.

Who is responsible for the production of the pellet feed?

The production of the pellet feed is carried out by the Department of Animal Husbandry at the Politeknik Pertanian Negeri Kupang, with the involvement of both faculty and students.

What is the nutritional focus of the pellet feed produced for the cattle?

The pellet feed is designed to meet the nutritional requirements of cattle, ensuring it contains the necessary nutrients to support their health and fattening process.

How long will the cattle be cared for after being sent to quarantine?

The cattle will be kept in quarantine for a period of 6 days, during which they will continue to be fed the specially designed pellet feed.

What happens to the cattle during their transport to Kalimantan?

During transport to Kalimantan, which takes around 4 to 5 days on a ship, the cattle will continue to be fed with the same pellet feed developed for them.

How many students and faculty are involved in this initiative?

Around 30 people are involved in the initiative, including 20 students from the Animal Husbandry department, and 10 students from the Agribusiness department, as well as faculty members with expertise in animal husbandry, agricultural mechanization, and social economics.

What role do the students from the Agribusiness department play in this project?

The Agribusiness students are involved in conducting an economic analysis of the livestock management activities as part of their final project or thesis work.
