Keragaman dan Kebutuhan Teknologi Pakan Peternak Sapi Perah di Kabupaten Enrekang
Abstract: An appropriate
understanding towards preference of small-scale dairy producers can improve
technology adoption. The objective of this study was to understand potential,
problem and need of small-scale dairy producers including farmer and his wife.
The method used was modification of participatory rural appraisal (PRA) like
participatory mapping to detect potential, and Preference ranking to understand
problem and need priority. PRA applications were six times during
April-September 2009 at central area and non-central area in Enrekang regency.
Preference of farmer and his wife toward potential and problem were not
different. Only feed technology need was different. Forage sources at central
area were more diverse than non-central area but concentrate sources at
non-central area were more than central area. Lack of knowledge for feed and
concentrate formulation and nutritional requirements, less known of feed use,
and low feed quality at dry season were the main problems at central area. At
non-central area, lack of knowledge for preserving feed, lack of labour, and
feed shortage at dry season were main problem faced by farmers. Knowledge
improvement for local feed and complete-feed formulation are priority
technology at central area. At non-central area, agricultural waste and forage
preserving and complete-feed are needed by farmer.
