Assisting in Producing Self-Sustained Fish Feed in Argomulyo Village, Cangkringan, Sleman to Promote Food Security and Sustainable Economic Development
Abstract
A significant obstacle confronting the aquaculture industry in Argomulyo Village, Cangkringan, Sleman, is the high cost of factory-produced feed. This feed expenditure can account for a substantial 50% of the overall production expenses. This considerable percentage places intense pressure on the profit margins of fish farmers, consequently jeopardizing the long-term viability and sustainability of their fish farming enterprises. In response to the pressing constraint of high feed costs, this community service initiative offers an intervention. The core objective is to tackle these challenges through rigorous and structured mentoring. This intensive guidance focuses specifically on training the local entrepreneurs in the creation of self-produced fish feed, primarily utilizing local raw materials readily available within the Argomulyo village, Cangkringan, Sleman.The employed strategy is participatory mentoring through a sequence of instructional activities, formulation training, and practical feed manufacturing, utilizing locally available raw materials, such as tofu dregs, cornmeal, soybean meal, or other alternative protein sources. This project was conducted with the participation of local aquaculture associations. The primary outcomes of this program illustrate the partners' proficiency in feed production technology, encompassing both balanced nutrient formulation and the fish feed pelleting process. This practice effectively diminished feed expenses relative to the utilization of commercial feed. Moreover, the self-manufactured feed has demonstrated an enhancement in overall operational efficiency. The Independent Fish Feed Mentoring Program is an efficient and versatile approach to enhancing the autonomy, profitability, and food security of the farming community in Argomulyo, while fostering a more economically and environmentally sustainable fisheries business model.
