PEMANFAATAN DAUN BANGUN-BANGUN UNTUK PENINGKATAN PRODUKSI SUSU KAMBING PERANAKAN ETTAWA PADA KELOMPOK WANITA TANI TALANG KUNING

Abstract

Kelompok Wanita Tani (KWT) Talang Kuning berada di Nagari Batu Bulek Kecamatan Lintau Buo Utara Kabupaten Tanah Datar, Sumatera Barat. KWT Talang Kuning bergerak pada kegiatan pemeliharaan kambing Peranakan Ettawa. Kondisi alam yang subur dan lahan yang luas mendukung KWT untuk beternak kambing PE. Tujuan KWT untuk beternak kambing adalah untuk membantu perekonomian keluarga. Transfer teknologi yang dilakukan pada KWT adalah pemanfaatan daun bangun-bangun sebagai feed additive dalam ransum ternak kambing. Pemberiannya dapat secara langsung dalam kondisi segar,  diolah menjadi infusa ataupun dibuat menjadi permen jilat (urea mineral saka blok). Infusa daun bangun-bangun diuji coba pada induk kambing laktasi di KWT Talang Kuning.  Hasil uji coba pada induk kambing PE  laktasi, diperoleh peningkatan produksi susu selama dua minggu. Pemberian bibit tanaman daun bangun-bangun  untuk KWT yang kembangkan di lahan KWT  serta praktek pengolahan daun bangun-bangun memotivasi KWT dalam pengembangan ternak kambing.The Talang Kuning Women Farmers Group (KWT) is located in Nagari Batu Bulek, North Lintau Buo District, Tanah Datar Regency, West Sumatra. KWT Talang Kuning is engaged in raising Ettawa Peranakan goats. Fertile natural conditions and a large area of land support KWT for raising PE goats. The purpose of KWT for raising goats is to help the family's economy. The technology transfer carried out in KWT uses leaves as a feed additive in goat rations. It can be given directly in fresh condition, processed into an infusion or made into licking candy (saka mineral urea block). The infusion of the leaves of the wake was tested on lactating goats at KWT Talang Kuning. The method of implementing the activities is in the form of lectures and discussions and direct practice. The results of the trial on lactating PE goats showed an increase in milk production for two weeks. The provision of leaf plant seeds for KWTs developed on KWT land and the practice of leaf processing motivates KWTs in developing goats. Farmer groups very much need this activity to motivate their enthusiasm in advancing the livestock business. Group activities are usually technology transfer which is carried out by discussion and direct practice with them. Making infusion of the leaves of Bangun-bangun was very beneficial for the group because it was proven to increase milk production of lactating goats. To provide it sustainably, seeds that cuttings can plant have also been provided, and on the group's land, leaf plants have grown.
