PENGOLAHAN FESES SAPI DENGAN MENERAPAN TEKNOLOGI ANAEROB DIGESTER BIOGAS SEBAGAI SUMBER ENERGI ALTERNATIF DAN PUPUK ORGANIK

Abstract

Abstrak: Feses sapi padat dan cair belum dimanfaatkan oleh kelompok Peternak sapi. Feses sapi merupakah sumber pendapatan peternak yang dapat dikelola menjadi biogas, pupuk organik padat (POP), dan cair (POC). Pengabdian Masyarakat dilaksanakan di Kelompok ternak Terus Maju desa Kebakalan Kabupaten Kebumen Jawa Tengah dari Program Kosabangsa DRTPM Dikti Tahun 2023. Tujuan pengabdian dalam Program Kosabangsa untuk memberdayakan peternakan sapi mengelola limbah kotaran sapi menjadi biogas dan pupuk organic, mengurangi pengeluaran pembelian tabung gas, dan meningkatkan penghasilan penjualan pupuk organic. Pemberdayaan ini pada kelompok Tani Terus Jaya berjumlah 15 peternak. Metode yang digunakan meliputi sosialisasi, pembuatan alat biogas anaerob digester, POC dan ayakan POP, Workshop, praktikum penggunaan alat, dan metode perawatan alat. Hasil sosialisasi dan workshop menunjukan 85 % peternak antusias dan memahami tentang pengolahan limbah sapi menjadi biogas dan pupuk organik cair dan padat. 70 % peternak dapat menggunakan peralatan biogas digester dan pengolahan pupuk organik. 25 % peternak mampu merawat dan memperbaiki peralatan biogas digester dan pengayak POP. Penerapan biogas digester mampu mengefesiensikan pengeluaran 10 % bagi peternak sapi. Pembuatan POP dan POC yang dijual ke petani sebagai pupuk organik 15 % pendapatan peternak sapi.

Abstract: Solid and liquid cow feces have not been utilized by cattle breeder groups. Cow feces is a source of income for farmers that can be managed into biogas, solid organic fertilizer (POP), and liquid organic fertilizer (POC). Community Service is carried out in the village of the Keep Moving Forward livestock group, Kebakalan village, Kebumen Regency, Central Java, from the Kosabangsa DRTPM Dikti Program in 2023. The aim of the service in the Kosabangsa Program is to empower cattle farms to manage cow waste into biogas and organic fertilizer, reduce expenditure on purchasing gas cylinders, and increase income from selling organic fertilizer. This empowerment was carried out by the "Terus Jaya" livestock group of 15 cattle breeders The methods used include outreach, making biogas anaerobic digesters, POC and POP sieves, workshops, practical equipment use, and equipment maintenance methods. The results of the socialization and workshop showed that 85% of farmers were enthusiastic and understood about processing cow waste into biogas and liquid and solid organic fertilizer. 70% of farmers can use biogas digester equipment and organic fertilizer processing. 25% of farmers are able to maintain and repair biogas digester and POP sieve equipment. The application of anaerobic biogas digesters to 15 farmers was able to reduce expenditures by 10% for cattle breeders. Making POP and POC which is sold to farmers as organic fertilizer accounts for 15% of cattle breeders' income.
