Abstract:
Abstrak : Beef cattle are one of livestock which are kept by Papuan. Generally, the
pattern of beef cattle keeping is extensively - let the cattle are as scavenger in
palm plantation or tied them around the house. In the last seven years, more
Papuan were keeping beef cattle due to the government introduced beef cattle to Papuan as one of dowry. The purpose of community service program-community empowerment learning (KKN-PPM) was 1. Optimal use of agricultural waste as tofu waste, rice bran, peel of cocoa, cassava and its by-products for additional feed of beef cattle; 2. Reduced dependence on additional feed from factories. KKN-PPM was carried out in Waseki Pop, Prafi District for 67 days. KKN-PPM was commenced from provisioning to students concerning potential of feeding; the development of feed technology; complete feed and feed concentrate. Local feed materials for making feed concentrate were rice brand (70%), stacks (16%0), waste product of tofu (11%), salt (2%) and urea (1%). Those compositions were met the requirement of dry matter and crude protein for beef cattle. 30 students from different field study joined for the KKN-PPM program. Workload of each student was calculated based on the effective working time (EWT) which was about 288 EWT. The method of implementing KKN-PPM starts from debriefing students on campus, namely the use of potential feed; feed technology development; complete feed and concentrate. During the implementation in the field, students and their supervisors conducted technical guidance on beef cattle maintenance, concentrate processing techniques and counseling for cattle breeders. During the KKN-PPM activities, a total of 114.4 kg of concentrate was given to 7 cows. Sustainability of the program would be reached when government of West Papua and Manokwari district had the same program for students every year to make feed concentrate for farmers.
