Small animals are a significant source of meat in rural areas during times of food shortage or when there are sudden unexpected food requirements for ceremonies. This paper assesses the potential, opportunities and constraints in rearing small animals for integrated rural development in East Nusa Tenggara based on experiences and a review of studies. It finds that small animals such as goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and ducks are potentially a major component of integrated rural development. However, given that farmers generally have low education levels, the paper rightly points to a need for continuing advice and guidance to develop agribusiness acumen. The authors suggest that programs for rearing small animals in rural areas should be managed within a cooperative system with diversification activities, and sustained with wise management based on agribusiness principles. They also highlight the need for cooperation from supporting and skilled partners in order to ameliorate problems and realise opportunities. This review is useful for developing the potential of small animal husbandry in East Nusa Tenggara, particularly for farmers, partnerships and activities models.

This report provides a useful overview of the cattle and goat sectors in Indonesia, as well as the key government policies affecting them. One interesting remark in the report is that local farmers have more readily adapted to goat farming compared to cattle farming, largely due to the relatively lower cost of entry and the simpler management of goat farms. This is a supporting factor for increased investment in the sector. Furthermore, given that most goat farmers have learned the trade from family members, it is fairly easy to achieve natural growth in goat farming with minimal direct assistance from government. Based on government projections for growth in the beef and goat sectors, the report highlights that by 2014 the Indonesian market will have a demand for 3.6 million head of beef cattle and 4.6 million head of goats. If the government's programmes to increase the beef and goat populations are successful, this will still result in a shortfall of around 420,000 head of cattle and 1.2 million head of goats. This indicates that opportunities to expand production to meet demand are still high.

Murray-MurrayPrior(2011)ImprovingGoatProductionIntegratedEstateCroppingSystemsSouthSulawesi_ACIAR_SADI.pdf

This report presents the findings of an ACIAR-funded project that aimed to develop understanding and insight of the goat supply chain in South Sulawesi and identify possible interventions that would improve smallholder and supply chain profitability. One of the main findings was that an iodine deficiency existed in the diet of goats, which was overcome by applying Providon solution to the skin of goats. The project also identified the need among goat producers to regularly weigh their animals for breeding, husbandry and marketing purposes. This was overcome by developing a cheap and practical tool to estimate the liveweight of goats. A key finding of the project that is particularly relevant for those considering investment in the goat sector is that there is demand for goat meat in Indonesia and an opportunity to improve the supply chain. In addition to consumer ignorance or misinformation about the benefits of eating goat meat, this means that a better understanding of the goat meat supply chain and education of goat meat consumers across Indonesia should result in greater demand for goat meat and improvements in the supply of goats from farmers to consumers.

This paper examines factors affecting the reproduction level of Kacang and Peranakan Etawah goats under the village production system. The study was conducted in two regencies in Central Java as part of a doe productivity evaluation program under the village production system. Reproduction data of 173 Peranakan Etawah and 189 Kacang does were collected through on-farm research over 20 months. The reproduction traits examined were parity, type of birth and litter weight at weaning. The findings revealed that the average reproduction rate of Kacang and Peranakan Etawah does was 2.95 and 1.76 kid/doe/year, respectively, which was significantly affected by parity, type of birth and litter weight at weaning. The reproduction rate of both breeds of doe tended to increase with the advance in parity up to the fourth parity and slightly decreased thereafter. The reproduction rate increased progressively with the advance in birth type. The findings also showed that at each 1 gram increase in litter weight at weaning there was an increase of 0.17 and 0.08 reproduction rate of Kacang and Peranakan Etawah does, respectively.

Goats are the most important small ruminants produced and consumed in Indonesia, in particular in some parts of Eastern Indonesia. They play an important economic and socio-cultural role in the lives of many small holders. This article presents a broad picture of the goat sector in Indonesia. Using recent literature as the main source of information, the article presents a review of the main breeds of goats found in Indonesia; their population levels in Indonesia and changes over time; their socio-economic role in smallholder households; their most common management and production systems and the challenges and obstacles for better production of goats. The article concludes with a number of potential strategies to encourage, facilitate and improve the production of goats by smallholders in Indonesia.

SodiqEtAl(2010)AssessmentKidProductionTraitsKacangGoatsUnderSmallholderProductionSystemCentralJava.pdf

This paper assesses the influence of environmental (non-genetic) factors of kid production traits of Kacang goats under smallholder production systems in Purwodadi regency in Central Java. The traits evaluated in this study were birth weight, weaning weight and pre-weaning growth weight. The environmental factors assessed were sex, type of birth, and dam's parity (1-7). Data was analysed statistically using the General Linear Model. The results showed that dam's parity, birth type and sex of the kid were significant sources of variation for Kacang kid production traits. Furthermore, the average birth weight, weaning weight and pre-weaning growth of males (2.07±0.02 kg; 10.457±0.1 kg; 69.35±0.73 g/d) were found to be higher than females (1.95±0.02 kg; 9.15±0.09 kg; 60.73±0.71 g/d). Kid production traits increased with parity, with the largest values at the fourth parity and then slightly decreased thereafter. The average male and female production traits of single kids were heavier than twins and triplets indicating the influence of the mothering ability of doe. The authors recommend that farmers consider maternal ability for improvement of weaning weight and growth rate of Kacang kids.

Riyanto-Anam(2012)IntegrationEtawahCrossbredDairyGoatCocoaEastJava.pdf

Etawah crossbred dairy goats are easy to maintain and are capable of utilising the leaves of various food crops, legumes and crop wastes as feed. This paper explores the application of an integrated business model of Etawah crossbred dairy goats with cocoa through utilization of estate cocoa waste as goat feed in East Java. Research was conducted with 25 farmers in two villages in the highlands of Ngawi district, over a one year period in 2009. The research reveals that the most widely applied feeding approach that integrated cocoa was one that used field grasses (20 per cent), waste of food crops (15 per cent), leaves of legume crops (25 per cent) and pod cocoa meal molasses block (40 per cent). This composition produced a good range of weight gain and milk production, with an average of 100-125g/head/day and 1.00-1.25 litres/head/day, respectively. These levels are similar to those reported in another study (Riyanto et al., 2007), which examined the application of integrated farming systems through the utilization of local agricultural waste.

HidayatiEtAl(2012)DairyGoatFeedingCharacteristicsMalangDistrict.pdf

Goats are a popular choice for rearing by farmers in upland areas because they can be cared for by women and children can consume the milk. However, there are several constraints to goat milk production, among them the limited availability of local forages for goat feed. This paper examines how locally available forages are used as feed for dairy goats by rural farmers in East Java's Malang district in order to determine the potential of goat rearing in this area. The research uses data gathered from surveys and interviews with 64 dairy goat households in six regions in the upland areas of Malang. The study found that type of dairy goats and feeds found in the upland areas is dependent on season, level of farmer education, land ownership and farming experience. It also found that the use of forages was dominantly legume tree in the wet season and tree leaf in the dry season. Furthermore, the use of crop wastes in the dry seasons is higher than in the wet seasons, which has an impact on the milk production.

Astuti-Sudarman(2012)DairyGoatsIndonesiaPotentialOpportunitiesChallenges.pdf

The population of goats in Indonesia has increased gradually at an average rate of 4.6 per cent in the last 10 years, from 12 million in 2000 to 16.8 million in 2010, involving 3.5 million households. The goats are spread throughout 33 provinces with the highest population of goats in Central Java, East Java and West Java. This paper briefly discusses the potential for development of goat and goat milk production in Indonesia. Production of goats offers good business opportunities in Indonesia because they are very well-adapted to the tropical environment and require low investments. Farmers usually rear a few animals without intensive management, as a living bank for emergencies and expenses and as a source of fertiliser for crops. Goats are usually reared to produce meat and milk. The authors highlight that there are also a few promising businesses indicating that producing and selling goats milk is possible and profitable. There is a deficit of fresh milk supply in Indonesia that could be filled with goats milk if goat's milk is better marketed.

Aritonang(2009)EffectForageEnergyLevelProductionPerformanceKostaFemaleGoatIndo_AndalasUni.pdf

This paper explores whether proper management of feeding goats with forages could increase the production and reproduction of Kosta goats. Research was carried out in two phases. The first observed the growth of female Kosta goats after weaning at four months to puberty at seven months and mating at nine months. Variables assessed include ration consumption, daily weight gain and puberty age on the livestock. The second phase observed female goats from mating to birth, assessing ration consumption, daily body weight gain, length of pregnancy, litter size, kid birth weight and kid weaning weight. The research used a completely randomised design, using forages with three energy levels—53, 61 and 69 per cent—with relatively equal protein content at 12 per cent. The forages included field grass and leaves of waru, lamtoro, gamal and jackfruit. The research found that the higher the dietary energy (up to 61 per cent TDN) in the ration, the higher the production performances of Kosta female goats in terms of efficiency of ration usage, body weight gain, birth weight and weaning weight, and the higher the reproduction performances in terms of age of puberty, length of pregnancy and litter size.
