Influencing factors of madura cattle farmers' courage to face risks of breeding

Abstract

Traditional Madurese cattle farmers experience many difficulties in carrying out cattle breeding. Madurese cattle farmers do not have genetic data on the cows they raise, making it difficult for breeders to produce superior calves. Cattle breeding is often considered high risk because it is biologically susceptible to disease and death. In addition, the low selling price of local cattle breeds is not comparable to the care performed by farmers. So, it is crucial to analyse the factors that influence the ability of Madura cattle farmers to face the risk of breeding. This research was conducted in Pamengkasan Madura with 100 respondents. The selected respondents are Madura cattle farmers who do business in the Madura cattle breeding. Data analysis was carried out using ordinal regression analysis method. Based on the results of data processing, it was found that Self Confidence and Optimism had a significant effect on the ability of Madura cattle farmers to face risks. At a 10% confidence level, Self Confidence and Optimism has a significant impact on the power of Madura cattle farmers to face risks with a P-value of 0.087.
