PRODUKSI DAN KOMPOSISI SUSU KAMBING PERANAKAN ETTAWA DI DATARAN TINGGI DAN DATARAN RENDAH DAERAH ISTIMEWA YOGYAKARTA

The objective of this study was to determine the differences of milk production and compotition of Ettawa Crossbred goats in highland and lowland area of Yogyakarta. The study used ten lactating Ettawa Crossbred goats in each area. The areas were Kulon Progo and Bantul Regency. Data environmental condition, feed intake, milk production and milk composition which consisted of milk gravity, fat and protein content were measured three times, those were in the beginning, middle and the end of the study period. Feed intake was measured everyday for 21 consecutive days. Milk production was measured by milking goat every morning and evening. Data was analyzed using One Way-Anova. Nutrient consumption of goat in Kulon Progo was higher than that in Bantul (P<0.05). Mean consumption of dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber and total digestible nutrient of goat in Kulon Progo were 95.98 g; 14.26 g; 14.26 g and 0.06 kg/kg BW 0.75 respectively, while those in Bantul were 86.96 g; 10.87 g; 19.23 g and 0.05/kg BW .,75 . The average production, fat, milk and total solid o f goat milk in Kulon Progo were 501.71 g/day; 4.84%, 4.41% and 13.26% while in Bantul were 419.62 g/day, 6.30%; 3.97% and 14.69% respectively. It was concluded that different areas of highland and lowland resulted differences on milk production and milk compotition of Etawah Crossbred goats due to differerences in feed composition and nutrien consumption.

Post Mount Merapi Eruption Recovery of Smallholder Dairy Farming: A Case Study of Disaster Management in Indonesia

Majority of dairy farmers in Indonesia are small-scale. These farmers face challenges of land scarcity, limited farmer education, low dairy cow productivity and profitability, and low milk quality. Over 80 % of total dairy cattle in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) Province are in Mt. Merapi valley area. The volcanic eruption in 2010 damaged dairy farms mostly caused by hot smoky ash clouds and flowing lava. Death of cows resulted in reduced milk production in the region. Dairy farmers’ groups in this area played an important role in the disaster recovery processes. Before the disaster, dairy farmers’ groups had relationship with only cooperatives. After Mt. Merapi disaster in 2010, the dairy farmers’ groups joined Merapi Mandiri Gabungan Kelompok Tani (GAPOKTAN), which has the leverage to facilitate government assistance to farmers. GAPOKTANs were established to help solve smallholder farmers’ challenges in farm management including lack of access to government services, financial problems, difficult on milk marketing, unavailability of far inputs, and lack of access to knowledge and technology. GAPOKTANs play an important role in improving smallholder dairy farming management in a sustainable way. Through GAPOKTANs, government financial assistance was channeled to members of farmers’ groups which are affiliated to GAPOKTANs which helped immensely farmers’ recovery from Mt. Merapi disaster.

Profiles of Smallholder Dairy Farmers Groups after Volcanic Eruption Damage in Indonesia : A Case Study of Sleman Regency, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta

Merapi Mountain eruption has damaged farming activities including livestock farming, mostly caused by hot cloud of smoky ashes. This paper tries to describe the profiles of smallholder dairy farmer groups in Sleman Regency, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province (here after DIY Province) after the eruption. Field survey and focus group discussion were conducted to find the fact and the real situation of the farmers groups. Dairy farmers in group has colony housing for their cows together in a large dairy shed with individual responsibility on feeding and maintaining their cattle. Groups can purchase feed (concentrates) from cooperatives and sell to its members. Milk production from cows was sold to cooperative depend on its criteria and price. In order to recover after disaster, the three dairy farmers groups join GAPOKTAN to get assistance and funding from government for recovery after the disaster. GAPOKTAN help the groups in the population of their cattle, empowerment of the group, and develop their group’s organization. The assessment of dairy farmers group performance is needed to improve further the linkages of other institutions to support and drive group’s farming activity in terms of improving value chain of their milk production.
