Abstract
The GRDP contribution from the agricultural sector in Gunungkidul Regency was highest in the last eight (8) years (2010-2017) ranged from 24.48 - 26.92. Gunungkidul Regency is a livestock barn for Yogyakarta (DIY) province. The population of beef cattle is 151 578 heads (more than 50) of a total 304 450 heads or 231 382 animal units (DIY Provincial Agriculture Office 2018) and goats/sheep 194 843 (37) of a total 526 590 heads (BPS 2018). On the other hand Gunungkidul Regency is often hit by drought during the dry season resulting in a shortage of food. This study aimed to determine the potential forage along with the sources of animal feed and recommendations for mitigating feed shortages in the dry season in Gunungkidul. Research with survey methods collected primary and secondary data during the dry season July-November 2018. Primary data were obtained from samples in the Gunungkidul area which were divided into 5 zones. Sources of feed were divided into 4 categories namely planted forage agricultural waste and by-products forages from plantations or integration and forages from Oya watersheds (DAS). The data obtained was analyzed based on a quantitative descriptive design according to four large groups by considering the type and specific origin of the location of the feed source. Potential sources of animal feed in Gunungkidul at the time of this study were 3 262 654.25 tons (DM/ year) consisting of planted forage 3 503.80 tons (0.11) waste and/or agricultural by products 2 688 921.78 tons (82.42) forage from plantations or integration 221 662 tonnes (6.79) and forage from the Oya River watershed in Gunungkidul was 348 566.94 tonnes (10.68). There was not over grazing in Gunungkidul Regency regarding the potential for livestock feed and the existing livestock needs in fact it is still excess to meet livestock equivalent to 1 962 cows or 10 986 goats / sheep. However the data on the biggest potential of feed was came from waste and/or agricultural by-products (possibly) were not collected properly as animal feed because at harvest time (November) farmers are more focused on managing the main product rather than by product. Sources of feed in the form of grass and leafes have not been able to meet the needs of livestock during the dry season so it is estimated that at least 60 trucks of feed will need to enter the Gunungkidul Regency area every day.
