Analysis Of Factors That Influence The Low Population Of Bali Cattle In The Farm Of The Central Aceh Regency
Analysis of Factors Influencing the Low Population of Bali Cattle in the Farm of the Central Aceh Regency
Introduction
The Central Aceh Regency has been actively developing its modern animal husbandry areas, with the establishment of the Ketapang I Animal Husbandry as one of its key initiatives. However, despite these efforts, the population of Bali cattle in the area has only reached 1,092, far from the ideal target of 6,000 to 7,000. This study aims to identify the characteristics of successful breeders and analyze the factors that inhibit the addition of Bali cattle population in the area. By understanding these factors, we can develop effective strategies to increase the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm.
Background
The Ketapang I Animal Husbandry was built by the regional government as an effort to develop modern animal husbandry areas. The farm is designed to provide a conducive environment for the breeding of Bali cattle, with the goal of increasing the population of these animals. However, despite the efforts of the government and breeders, the population of Bali cattle in the area has not reached the desired target. This study aims to identify the factors that contribute to this low population and develop strategies to address these issues.
Methodology
This study used a mixed-methods approach, combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis methods. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews and observations using a questionnaire. The sampling method used was the census approach, where all breeders in the Ketapang I farm were included in the study. The analysis was conducted descriptively and using multiple linear regression.
Results
The results of the analysis show that successful breeders tend to be young (30-35 years), have a minimum education of high school, and have dependents between 3 to 4 people. Previous experience as a breeder is also an indicator of success. However, some variables such as feed, water, seed mortality, and management are proven to have a significant influence on the increase in livestock populations. Conversely, factors such as gigs, male and female ratios, calf ratios, and the availability of labor do not show a significant effect on population additions.
Discussion
The results of this study highlight the importance of several factors in increasing the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm. These factors include the selection of good livestock seeds, provision of adequate water sources, preparation of adequate and quality forage feed, and management training for farmers. The study also emphasizes the need for farmers to increase their capabilities in terms of livestock maintenance management.
Recommendations
Based on the results of this study, several recommendations can be made to increase the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm. First, the local government is advised to ensure the selection of good livestock seeds before entering livestock into the farm location. This includes choosing a quality parent candidate, providing adequate water sources, and preparing adequate and quality forage feed. In addition, it is also important to provide management training to farmers so that they are able to manage livestock well.
Farmers are also expected to increase their capabilities in terms of livestock maintenance management. By allocating more time for the maintenance of cattle, farmers can improve their livestock health and productivity, which will ultimately contribute to the increase in the population of Bali cattle.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of several factors in increasing the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm. The results of this study emphasize the need for the local government and breeders to work together to address the issues that contribute to the low population of Bali cattle in the area. By implementing the recommendations made in this study, we can increase the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm and contribute to the development of sustainable livestock in the Central Aceh Regency.
Implications
The findings of this study have several implications for the development of sustainable livestock in the Central Aceh Regency. First, the study highlights the importance of selecting good livestock seeds and providing adequate water sources and forage feed. Second, the study emphasizes the need for management training for farmers to improve their capabilities in terms of livestock maintenance management. Finally, the study suggests that synergistic efforts between the government and breeders are necessary to achieve the desired goals in the development of animal husbandry in the Central Aceh Regency.
Limitations
This study has several limitations that should be noted. First, the study was conducted in a single farm, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. Second, the study used a mixed-methods approach, which may have introduced biases in the data collection and analysis. Finally, the study did not consider the impact of external factors such as market demand and competition on the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm.
Future Research Directions
Future research should aim to build on the findings of this study by exploring the impact of external factors such as market demand and competition on the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm. Additionally, future research should aim to develop more effective strategies for increasing the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm, such as the use of technology and innovation in livestock management.

Q&A: Analysis of Factors Influencing the Low Population of Bali Cattle in the Farm of the Central Aceh Regency
Introduction
In our previous article, we discussed the analysis of factors influencing the low population of Bali cattle in the farm of the Central Aceh Regency. In this article, we will answer some of the frequently asked questions related to this topic.
Q: What are the main factors that contribute to the low population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm?
A: The main factors that contribute to the low population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm are the selection of good livestock seeds, provision of adequate water sources, preparation of adequate and quality forage feed, and management training for farmers.
Q: Why is the selection of good livestock seeds important?
A: The selection of good livestock seeds is important because it determines the quality of the offspring. Good livestock seeds will produce healthy and productive offspring, which will contribute to the increase in the population of Bali cattle.
Q: What is the role of management training in increasing the population of Bali cattle?
A: Management training is essential in increasing the population of Bali cattle. Farmers who receive management training will be able to manage their livestock well, which will improve the health and productivity of their animals.
Q: How can farmers increase their capabilities in terms of livestock maintenance management?
A: Farmers can increase their capabilities in terms of livestock maintenance management by allocating more time for the maintenance of their cattle. This will improve the health and productivity of their animals, which will ultimately contribute to the increase in the population of Bali cattle.
Q: What is the impact of external factors such as market demand and competition on the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm?
A: The impact of external factors such as market demand and competition on the population of Bali cattle in the Ketapang I farm is not considered in this study. However, it is essential to consider these factors in future research to develop more effective strategies for increasing the population of Bali cattle.
