This research data analyzed quantitatively to find the amount of income and risk of farming. The research was conducted in Mundeh Kauh Village, West Selemadeg District, Tabanan Regency and Depeha Village, Kubu Additional District, Buleleng Regency. The samples were taken from 19 Porang farmers from members of the Maju Bersama farmer group using the saturated sampling method and 11 Porang farmers from the Bali Porang Farmers Association (P3B) using the accidental sampling method. Farming income is the difference between the farming income obtained and the total farming expenditure. Farming risk is analyzed using the coefficient of variation. The research results reveal the following. The average income of Porang farming in Bali is IDR 2,130,493.46 per production cycle with an average plant population of 2,155 plants. The risk of Porang farming is classified as a large risk as indicated by the coefficient of variation (CV) value of Porang farming income of 1.96 (>0.5). The source of risk in Porang farming is the high variation in production due to exposure to tuber caterpillar attacks and falling prices due to the closure of Indonesian Porang exports due to non-fulfillment of food safety requirements in importing countries.

The agricultural sector is a sector that plays a big role in terms of food availability and suitability. However, population growth and development dynamics have shifted land use which eventually poses problems. Changes in the use of agricultural land to non-agricultural can also be referred to as land conversion. Land function change or commonly referred to as land function change is a change in the function of part or all of the land area from its original function (according to plan) to other functions that have a negative impact (problem) on the environment and the potential of the land itself. Bali itself, it is not spared from the impact of land conversion. This can be seen from year to year the land area in Bali continues to decline, this is due to the rapid growth of the tourism sector in Bali. Gianyar Regency is one of the regions in Bali Province whose tourism development is very rapid, one of which is Ubud District, Gianyar Regency which is a tourism center area that causes the surrounding area to be affected by land conversion. Pejeng Village, which is one of the villages in Tampaksiring District, Gianyar Regency, is affected by the rapid development of tourism in Gianyar Regency. The location of Pejeng Village, which is the border between tourism centers in Ubud, has caused many investors to hunt for productive land in this area.What is interesting here is that farmers continue to maintain their land, so it is interesting to conduct research on the motivation of farmers to defend their fields from land conversion in Pejeng Village, Tampaksiring District, Gianyar Regency.

This study aims to determine the productivity of broilers fed with water extract of lamtoro leaves (Leucaena leucocephala) fermented through drinking water. This study used a Complete Random Design (RAL) consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replicates, each replicate consisted of 3 broiler chickens. The treatment provided was drinking water without fermented lamtoro leaf water extract (P0), 2% fermented lamtoro leaf water extract in drinking water (P1), 4% fermented lamtoro leaf water extract in drinking water (P2), and 6% fermented lamtoro leaf water extract in drinking water (P3). The variables observed were the performance and histoology of the broiler intestine. The results of the broiler study that was given fermented lamtoro leaf water extract at doses of 2%, 4%, and 6% had a real effect (P<0.05) on the final weight, body weight gain, villi height, and small intestine crypta depth. However, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in ration consumption, drinking water consumption, and FCR. It can be concluded that the addition of fermented lamtoro leaf water extract in broiler drinking water can improve the performance and histology of broiler small intestine.

This study aims to determine the effect of feeding rations with different protein levels. This research was conducted in Nyitdah Village, Kediri District, Tabanan Regency, Bali, which lasted for 12 weeks. The design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of four treatments and four replicates. Each replicate contained one pig. The treatments were Balinese pigs fed a ration with 14% protein level (P1), Balinese pigs fed a ration with 16% protein level (P2), Balinese pigs fed a ration with 18% protein level (P3), and Balinese pigs fed a ration with 20% protein level (P4). The variables observed were performance, nutrient digestibility, and income over feed cost. The results showed that growing pigs fed different protein levels had no significant effect (P>0,05) on initial and final weights, body weight gain, ration consumption, FCR, and nutrient digestibility. It can be concluded that feeding rations with protein levels of 14% to 20% showed no significant effect on the performance of the pigs and nutrient digestibility, however, rations with 16% protein content produced the highest income over feed cost.

Analysis of the contribution of porang farming branch to total farming income in Mundeh Kauh Village, West Selemadeg District, Tabanan Regency

Putu Udayani Wijayanti, Ketut Budi Susrusa — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Porang plantation farming is the main commodity as one of the sources of regional income, as well as the prosperity of the community. The development of farming is essentially for rural oriented economic development with the goal of increasing the income of the village community and for the ultimate goal of reducing the number of poor people in rural areas, as well as being able to open new jobs. The porang plant is developed in Tabanan Regency because the land and natural conditions are suitable for the needs of porang and have the potential to be large enough to be absorbed into the export market. This research was carried out in Mundeh Kauh Village, West Selemadeg District, Tabanan Regency. Mundeh Village is one of the areas that develops the Porang commodity. The population in this study is all farmers who are members of the Porang Farmers Group "Maju Bersama" in Mundeh Kauh Village as many as 14 farmers, where the sample is determined by census, so that it is determined that the farmer sample is 14 farmers. The analysis used is quantitative, namely looking for porang farming income and its contribution to the total farming income.
