Implementation of Cattle Stall and Feed Management to Support the Implementation of Sustainable Practices in Pematang Kabau Village Sarolangun

Abstract

Pematang Kabau Village, Sarolangun Regency, is an area with potential for cattle farming. This village is inhabited by transmigrants from the Javanese tribe and also has the Anak Dalam tribe. Currently, the Anak Dalam tribe is receiving special attention from the government. This is the urgency of this service, where by training independence in cattle farming, it is hoped that financial independence will begin to be created for the people of Pematang Kabau village. The Anak Dalam tribe has long relied on the wealth of the forest to meet their daily needs. However, the forest they depended on has now been converted into palm oil plantations, which has led many Anak Dalam to migrate to the city in search of money through inappropriate means. This service aims to strengthen the knowledge and skills of the cattle farming community through community empowerment via counseling and practical training in barn and feed management. The problem faced by cattle farmers is the lack of knowledge and skills in cattle farming. By involving the active participation of the community, research institutions, and local government, it is hoped that this service can provide effective and sustainable solutions, thereby improving the productivity and welfare of the Pematang Kabau village community in the long term. From the evaluation that has been conducted, satisfactory results were obtained by observing the attendance and activity of cattle farmers during this service activity and its sustainability in the future
