Abstract

Increasing cattle population can be done through Artificial Insemination (IB) activities which are also expected to increase livestock manure yields (feases) as a source of raw material for organic fertilizer. This activity aims to: (1) increase the population of cattle as a producer of raw materials for organic fertilizer, and (2) increase the knowledge of Sumber Rezeki Farmer Groups in making organic fertilizer. This activity began in March to August 2019 in Bualo Village, Paguyaman District, Boalemo Regency. This activity consists of: (1) IB activities towards healthy and ready mother cows (incubation period) by inseminators, and (2) Making organic fertilizer carried out through training and mentoring activities. Before and after the training, a knowledge level test about organic fertilizer was conducted on 25 trainees who were analyzed using a Likert Scale. Organic fertilizer manufacturing materials include: corn waste, cocoa meal, feases, urine, EM4, sugar and water. All ingredients are mixed evenly in a fermentation tank, covered with tarpaulin and left for 3 weeks. During the activity, participants' enthusiasm in participating in all activities was very high with 100% achievement. IB activities have produced as many as 12 pregnant cows. Training activities and assistance to farmers in the Sumber Rezeki Farmer Group have been able to increase knowledge about making organic fertilizer with an achievement of 88.0% of the total training participants.
