Abstract

The sustainability of technology processing livestock waste resulting in solid or liquid organic manure, as well as biogas has several barriers. One of them is the availability of the main raw materials such as feces and urine. The production of feces and urine are depending on the quantity of the cattle and the feed capacity. Currently, it was difficult to find forage (feeding ground) due to the reduction of grassland, climate change and the conversion of agriculture land into domestic and public facilities. This study aims to identify the adaptive strategy of livestock waste technology facing the vulnerability of the livestock feed ecology. The research was conduct by qualitative approach with comparative case study design on 3 (three) farmer groups at different locations in Pinrang Regency.The result of this research found a several adaptive strategies for the farmers such as: learning technology feed, making feed fermentation (silage) and feed concentrate, livestock pasturing in the rice fields after the harvest, buying land for planting fodder forage (HMT), buying urine and feces other livestock, doing other farm coop sanitation periodically, and takes fodder forage that grew into the roads, fields, and dykes on the embankment. .
