Exploring the Potential of Simmental Peranakan Cattle Business: Utilization of Palm Oil Remnants and Essential Mineral Supplementation

The livestock industry plays a vital role in the economy of many countries, and cattle farming is one of the most significant contributors to this sector. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the utilization of palm oil remnants as cattle feed, due to its potential to reduce waste and increase the financial benefits of cattle farming. This study aims to explore the potential of Simmental Peranakan cattle business by utilizing palm oil remnants and essential mineral supplementation.

Background

The study was conducted in Ujung Rambung Village, Pantai Cermin District, Serdang Bedagai Regency, North Sumatra, from November 2009 to March 2010. The research focused on testing the financial potential of utilizing palm oil remnants as Simmental Peranakan cattle feed. The study also examined the effect of adding hydrolyzate supplementation of chicken feathers, macro minerals (Zn and Cl), and micro minerals (I, Co) on feed.

Methodology

This study used the Latin Square Design (LSD) design with four treatments. The treatment given to the four groups of cattle is:

*** P0 (control): ** Basic feed without additional supplements. *** P1: ** Basic feed + 1% hydrolysis of chicken feathers. *** P2: ** Basic feed + 1% hydrolyzate chicken feathers + 0.16% Cl + 356 ppm Zn. *** P3: ** Basic feed + 1% hydrolyzate chicken feathers + 0.16% Cl + 356 ppm Zn + 10 ppm CO + 50 ppm I + 2 ppm SE.

Results

The results showed that the treatment of P1 (basic feed + 1% hydrolysis of chicken feathers) provided the highest financial benefits, with an average profit of Rp.447,779,-. P3 treatment that uses the most complete supplementation actually provides the lowest profit (Rp.248,502,-).

Deeper Analysis

Benefit Ratio Cost (BCR)

Treatment P1 has the highest BCR ratio (1,073), indicating that the investment issued for feed and supplements in P1 produces higher profits than other treatments. P3 treatment has the lowest BCR (1,038).

Break Even Point (BEP)

Treatment P3 has the highest production price BEP (Rp.22,191,-) and the highest production volume BEP (272.8 kg), shows that P3 treatment requires more selling prices and production amount height to reach break-even compared to other treatments. P1 treatment has the lowest BEP, both for prices (Rp.11,479,-) and volume (255.9 kg), signifying profits achieved faster with this treatment.

Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC)

Treatment P1 has the highest IOFC (Rp.570,779,-), shows that income in P1 defeats feed costs significantly. P3 treatment has the lowest iOFC (Rp.371,502,-), indicating the difference in income and feed costs in P3 is not too significant.

Conclusion

This study shows that the utilization of the remaining oil palm plantations as Simmental Peranakan cattle feed has a promising financial potential. The addition of chicken feather hydrolysis supplementation to the feed succeeded in increasing the benefits and ratio of benefits. P1 treatment (basic feed + 1% hydrolysis of chicken feathers) is the most effective treatment in increasing the financial benefits of Simmental Peranakan Penakan farms in the palm oil plantation area.

Recommendation

The use of the remaining oil palm plantation products as Simmental Peranakan cattle can be developed more broadly by paying attention to the efficiency and quality of the feed provided.
Further research is needed to determine the long-term impact of chicken feather hydrolysis supplementation on cattle health and productivity.
Development of animal husbandry systems integrated with oil palm plantations can increase environmental profits and sustainability.

Exploring the potential of integrating animal husbandry systems with oil palm plantations to increase environmental profits and sustainability.

Limitations

This study has several limitations that should be acknowledged. Firstly, the study was conducted in a specific location, and the results may not be generalizable to other regions. Secondly, the study only examined the financial potential of utilizing palm oil remnants as cattle feed, and did not investigate the environmental impact of this practice. Finally, the study only used a limited number of treatments, and further research is needed to determine the optimal combination of supplements and feed.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this study demonstrates the potential of Simmental Peranakan cattle business by utilizing palm oil remnants and essential mineral supplementation. The findings of this study have significant implications for the livestock industry, and future research should focus on investigating the long-term impact of chicken feather hydrolysis supplementation on cattle health and productivity, developing more efficient and cost-effective methods for producing hydrolyzate supplementation, and exploring the potential of integrating animal husbandry systems with oil palm plantations to increase environmental profits and sustainability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the purpose of this study?

A: The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of Simmental Peranakan cattle business by utilizing palm oil remnants and essential mineral supplementation.

Q: What is the significance of using palm oil remnants as cattle feed?

A: Using palm oil remnants as cattle feed can reduce waste and increase the financial benefits of cattle farming. It also has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of palm oil production.

Q: What are the benefits of adding chicken feather hydrolysis supplementation to cattle feed?

A: The addition of chicken feather hydrolysis supplementation to cattle feed can increase the benefits and ratio of benefits. It can also improve the nutritional value of the feed and reduce the cost of production.

Q: What is the difference between P1 and P3 treatments?

A: P1 treatment involves adding 1% hydrolysis of chicken feathers to the basic feed, while P3 treatment involves adding a more complete supplementation package, including 10 ppm CO, 50 ppm I, and 2 ppm SE, in addition to the basic feed and 1% hydrolysis of chicken feathers.

Q: What is the Break Even Point (BEP) and how does it relate to the financial benefits of cattle farming?

A: The Break Even Point (BEP) is the point at which the revenue from the sale of cattle products equals the cost of production. In this study, the BEP is used to determine the minimum selling price and production volume required to break even.

Q: What is the Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC) and how does it relate to the financial benefits of cattle farming?

A: The Income Over Feed Cost (IOFC) is the difference between the revenue from the sale of cattle products and the cost of feed. In this study, the IOFC is used to determine the financial benefits of each treatment.
