Abstract

Beef cattle farming is one of the activities in the agricultural sector which has been carried out by many people in rural areas since long time before. Many beef cattle are farmed because of relatively simple keeping process, existence of forage feed resources in the surrounding, and can be sold at any time. In general, farmers run a beef cattle farming as a side business supporting crop farming activity and managed in traditional management system causes farmers pay less attention to factors in production process of the cattle farming activity. The phenomenon of pay less attention can be shown by the absence of input-output costs calculations in the entire production process. Thus, the economic analysis of beef cattle farming activity is the way to find out the amount of costs and find out what factors influence to household income. This research was conducted in Kedungadem Sub- District, Bojonegoro Regency, East Java Province from 24th October to 1st November 2017. The Sampling was done by vii multistage random sampling method. The determination of total sample done by Slovin formula. One-hundred farmers were randomly selected and interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The farmers were categorized into three cattle farming scale based on the number of beef cattle ownership: Scale I consisted of 80 respondents with the number of cattle ownership between 0.25 – 2.35 AU, Scale II consisted of 17 respondents with the number of cattle ownership between 2.36 – 4.45 AU, and Scale III consisted of 3 respondents with the number of cattle ownership between 4.46 – 6.5 AU. The data were analyzed with cost analysis, descriptive analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. The data of respondents’ characteristics in Kedungadem Sub-District showed that there were 46 respondents aged 50 – 64 years old (productive age subcategory), 36 respondents aged 15 – 49 years old (very productive age sub-category), and 18 respondents aged above 64 years old (unproductive age sub-category). Respondents in Kedungadem Sub-District were mostly graduated from primary school with amount of 47 respondents, then there were 31 respondents never attended school, 12 respondents graduated from secondary school, and 10 respondents graduated from high school. From the cattle farming experience characteristic, there were 36 respondents who had cattle farming experience for 1 – 10 years, 31 respondents who had cattle farming experience for 11 – 20 years, 14 respondents who had cattle farming experience for 21 – 30 years, and 19 respondents who had cattle farming experience for more than 30 years. From the number of family member characteristic, there were 10 respondents who had 1 – 2 family members, 43 respondents who had 3 – 4 family members, 24 respondents who had 5 – 6 family members, and 3 respondents who had 7 – 8 family members.

From the type of beef cattle farming characteristic, there were 69 respondents who did breeding type of beef cattle farming, 20 respondents who did fattening type of beef cattle farming, and 11 respondents who did mixed type (breeding and fattening) of beef cattle farming. From the agricultural land size characteristic, there were 42 respondents who had 0 – 0.375 Ha of agricultural land, then there were 46 respondents who had 0.376 – 0.75 Ha of agricultural land, 8 respondents who had 0.76 – 1.125 Ha of agricultural land, and 4 respondents who had 1.126 – 1.50 Ha of agricultural land. The data also showed that on average, beef cattle farmers in cattle farming scale I owned 2.01 head of beef cattle or 1.22 in Animal Unit, in cattle farming scale II owned 4.11 head of beef cattle or 2.83 in Animal Unit, and in cattle farming scale III owned 7.66 head of beef cattle or 5.58 in Animal Unit. The results of this research showed that the average household income of beef cattle farmers in Kedungadem Sub- District was around IDR. 19,211,392.15/year or 1,600,949.35/month in cattle farming scale I, IDR. 34,583,874.51/year or 2,881,989.54/month in cattle farming scale II, and IDR. 41,945,805.17/year or 3,495,483.76/month in cattle farming scale III. Whereas, beef cattle farmers in cattle farming scale I earned IDR.4,022,674.71/year or IDR. 335,222.89/month, in cattle farming scale II earned IDR.9,482,032.71/year or IDR. 790,169.39/month, and in cattle farming scale III earned 19,716,588.39/year or IDR.1,643,049.03/month of income through cattle farming activity. The calculation of income per AU was also made in each cattle farming scale and the result was IDR.3,297,274.36/year/AU or IDR. 274,772.86/month/AU in cattle farming scale I, IDR. 3,350,541.59/year/AU or IDR. 279,211.80/month/AU in cattle farming scale II, and IDR. 3,533,438.78/year/AU or IDR. 294,453.23/month/AU in cattle farming scale III. The contribution of beef cattle farming income to farmers’ household income in each cattle farming scale sequentially was 20.94%, 27.42%, and 47.00%. From the results of multiple regression analysis, it can be concluded that the agricultural land size variable, the number of beef cattle owned variable, and cattle farming scale variable has a significant effect to the household income of beef cattle farmers in Kedungadem Sub-District, Bojonegoro Regency.This research suggests that farmers, especially in cattle farming scale III, to improve their economic management in the recording and the calculation of inputs and outputs during the production period to make them understand the structure of the income earned from beef cattle farming activity which later be used as evaluation materials that can facilitate them to make decisions in order to survive or to expand their cattle farming scale. Furthermore, this research suggests to form a beef cattle farmers group that cooperates with Perhutani due to the large potential of teak forests to support the sustainability of beef cattle farming activity carried out by the community in Kedungadem Sub-District.
