Lesson Learned

  • Mismanagement of Cattle Aid

    Smallholders in Southeast Sulawesi required aid in forms of funding and cattle seed to kickstart cattle farm growth. The provincial government responded by providing both needs with auction system. However, majority of the cattle breed are unable to survive in the region due to many contributing factors. Hence, cattle breed from the government are usually sold to other institutions without proper fattening process to avoid cattle dying on their premises.

South Sulawesi is heavily populated by smallholders implementing Cut and Carry models. The high crop yields supports the cut and carry model, to provide supplement feeds. 

Definitions

  1. Commercial feedlots are legal business entities with the purpose of increasing the weight of the cattle (BPS, Large and Small Livestock Establishment Statistics 2020)
  2. Commercial breedlots are are legal business entities which focus on raising livestock to breed and produce new, young livestock with inherited traits (BPS, Large and Small Livestock Establishment Statistics 2020)

  3. Smallholders are small-scale cattle businesses, usually family owned, with varying cattle number per household. The average smallholder farmers' ownership in Indonesia is about 2 to 5 cattle per household, but it can reach 20 to 50 cattle per household in regions which cattle farming are a main source of livelihood, such as NTB and NTT (BPS STU 2014)
