Abstrak

Kelompok Peternak Inovatif dan Maju (PETINJU) di Desa Babatan Kabupaten Jember menghasilkan 1 ton kotoran sapi setiap bulan. Limbah tersebut belum dikelola dan cenderung berdampak negatif pada lingkungan dan kesehatan. Program implementasi IPTEK yang dilaksanakan bertujuan untuk mengelola limbah sekaligus meningkatkan keberlanjutan usaha kelompok PETINJU. Program dilaksanakan dengan pendekatan partisipatif, kolaboratif, dan berurutan. Pelaksanaan program diawali dengan pemantapan aktivitas, lalu diikuti dengan edukasi dan implementasi bed vermicompost serta earthworm separator, dan diakhiri dengan evaluasi kegiatan. Program ini berhasil menerapkan inovasi pengelolaan limbah kotoran sapi menjadi vermikompos. Sebanyak 85% kotoran sapi pada kelompok PETINJU berhasil dikelola setiap bulannya. Berdasarkan uji t terhadap self asessment mitra, diketahui nilai p yang sangat kecil, yaitu 1,38×10-7 untuk pengetahuan, 2,47×10-4 untuk keterampilan, dan 1,36×10-6 untuk motivasi mitra, menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan dalam ketiga aspek tersebut setelah pelatihan. Hasil analisis SWOT juga menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan limbah kotoran sapi menjadi vermikompos memiliki peluang keberlanjutan yang tinggi. Kelompok PETINJU berpotensi memperoleh peluang ekonomi baru dalam hal penjualan produk vermikompos. Pada lain sisi, pengelolaan limbah akan meningkatkan sanitasi kandang yang berimplikasi pada peningkatan keuntungan dari usaha ternak. Program ini berhasil memberikan dampak pengurangan limbah sekaligus meningkatkan potensi ekonomi kelompok PETINJU.

Abstract

The Innovative and Advanced Livestock Farmers Group (PETINJU) in Babatan Village, Jember Regency, produces approximately 1 ton of cow dung monthly, which, if improperly managed, poses significant environmental and health risks. To address these challenges and enhance the sustainability of PETINJU's operations, a technology implementation program was executed. This program comprised four key stages: activity organization, group education, application of specialized composting beds and earthworm separators, and outcome evaluation. The program effectively converted approximately 85% of the monthly cow dung into valuable vermicompost. Post-training evaluations demonstrated significant improvements in the participants' knowledge, skills, and motivation, as confirmed by t-test results: knowledge (p-value = 1.38×10⁻⁷), skills (p-value = 2.47×10⁻⁴), and motivation (p-value = 1.36×10⁻⁶), indicating substantial enhancement in these domains. Furthermore, the analysis underscored the long-term viability of cow dung conversion into vermicompost as a sustainable practice. The sale of vermicompost presents a lucrative opportunity for PETINJU, while improved waste management practices contribute to enhanced livestock pen hygiene and increased profitability. In conclusion, this program not only mitigated waste management issues but also significantly augmented PETINJU's economic potential, yielding benefits for both the cooperative and the environment.
