Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji karakteristik ternak ruminansia di Sulawesi Selatan, menginventarisasi produksi limbah tanaman pangan berdasarkan kuantitas dan kualitasnya, dan daya dukung sebagai sumber pakan di Sulawesi Selatan, mengevaluasi pemanfaatan limbah tanaman pangan sebagai sumber pakan ternak ruminansia di Sulawesi Selatan, dan merumuskan strategi pemanfaatan limbah tanaman pangan sebagai sumber pakan ternak ruminansia di Sulawesi Selatan. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan, yang berlangsung dari bulan Nopember 2003 sampai dengan Juni 2005.

The objectives of this study were to analyze characteristics of ruminant in South Sulawesi, to evaluate the potency of crop residues as feed resources and to formulate the strategy of crop residues utilization. The research was conducted from November, 2003 to June 2005 in South Sulawesi. The data related to ruminant characteristics were collected and analyzed including analysis of ruminant performances, animal unit-based population number, animal population density, and comparative advantages of ruminant. Moreover, production and quality of crop residues were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Besides, the estimation of annual products and capacities of crop residues, feed capacity index, and ruminant population growth index were also analyzed. Whereas crop residues utilization as animal feed was conducted using survey method and data collected were analyzes using descriptive statistics. the formulation of strategy of crop residues utilization was conducted by applying SWOT analysis and Analytical Hierarchy Process.
