Empowering Lemboo Farm's Partner Farmers By Utilizing Livestock Waste Into Organic Fertilizer And Bio-Stimulants To Increase Income PEMBERDAYAAN MITRA PETERNAK LEMBOO FARM MELALUI PEMANFAAT LIMBAH TERNAK MENJADI PUPUK ORGANIK DAN BIO-STIMULAN UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PENDAPATAN Section Articles

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Kabupaten Limapuluh Kota has strong potential for integrated agricultural development through the integration of livestock and crop farming; however, the utilization of livestock waste remains suboptimal. This community service program aimed to transfer knowledge and technology on processing livestock waste into organic fertilizer to partners at Lemboo Farm in Nagari Balai Panjang through the sapaduoan partnership system. The methods applied included Focus Group Discussions (FGD), socialization, training sessions, and field-based practice. Partners were provided with skills to produce solid compost, liquid organic fertilizer, and locally sourced bio-stimulants. The results indicate an improvement in partners’ understanding and capacity to independently produce organic fertilizers, reduce production costs, improve agricultural land quality, and increase farmers’ income. The processing of livestock waste contributes to agribusiness efficiency and environmental sustainability at the local level.

ABSTRAK

Kabupaten Limapuluh Kota memiliki potensi pengembangan pertanian terpadu melalui integrasi peternakan dan pertanian, namun pemanfaatan limbah ternak masih belum optimal. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan mentransfer pengetahuan dan teknologi pengolahan limbah ternak menjadi pupuk organik pada mitra Lemboo Farm di Nagari Balai Panjang melalui sistem kemitraan sapaduoan. Metode yang digunakan meliputi Focus Group Discussion (FGD), sosialisasi, pelatihan, dan praktik lapangan. Mitra dibekali keterampilan pembuatan pupuk kompos padat, pupuk organik cair, serta bio-stimulan berbahan lokal. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman dan kemampuan mitra dalam memproduksi pupuk organik secara mandiri, menekan biaya produksi, memperbaiki kualitas lahan pertanian, serta meningkatkan pendapatan petani. Pengolahan limbah ternak berkontribusi terhadap efisiensi agribisnis dan keberlanjutan lingkungan di tingkat lokal.
