| dc.description.abstract | Aside from being a rice development area, Merauke Regency is also a center for beef cattle development. The more intensive the use of land for agriculture, the dependence of livestock feed supply from agricultural byproducts/waste will be greater Commodity of rice and beef cattle is very potential to be developed in Merauke Regency, because in addition to producing main products (rice and meat) also produce side products (straw, bran, manure). The cattle system integration system of paddy-cattle is one of the alternatives in increasing the production of rice, meat, milk, and increasing farmers' income. This study aims to evaluate the utilization of fermented straw fodder for beef cattle and the utilization of compost from livestock for the growth of rice crops. The results of the study indicate that paddy-cattle integration can increase farmer income by 68.42% with 1 ha and 11 cattle planting area. The integration of livestock system of paddy- cattle gives benefits to farmers, because : 1). Agricultural waste (rice straw and rice bran) is available and can be utilized as a source of quality feed through the fermentation process to reduce feed costs, and 2). Waste of livestock that has not been utilized optimally can be utilized as organic fertilizer to improve soil fertility and also as a source of income. | en_US |
