Feed is one of the most important factors influencing the success of chicken farming. This is due to the biggest production cost in livestock business is feed, which is about 70% of the total cost.

This was revealed by Faculty of Animal Science (FAS) UGM lecturer, Prof. Dr. Ir. Zuprizal, DEA., IPU as a speaker in the Kuliah Gratis Bagimu Petani Kami Mengabdi, Friday (4/10) at the FAS UGM campus.

Zuprizal said, feed can be made by farmers themselves so that the cost of feed can be reduced and ultimately profits increase. “As long as farmers know how to make harmonious feed, namely knowledge about nutrition, the availability of feed raw materials, and the manufacturing process, farmers can produce their own feed,” explained the lecturer at the Animal Feed Science Laboratory. read more

The Faculty of Animal Science (FAS) UGM developed PRO-NIN BLOCK, an environmentally friendly feed supplement that is able to reduce the production of methane gas produced by ruminants such as cattle, goats, and sheep.

“Methane gas is one of the causes of global warming, which in turn causes various problems such as erratic climate change, drought, and forest fires. The production of methane gas that is too high also has an impact on decreasing livestock productivity,” said Prof. Dr. Ir. Lies Mira Yusiaiti, SU. IPU, FAS UGM  lecturer who developed PRO-NIN BLOCK. read more
