Penanganan Sebelum dan Sesudah Partus pada Sapi Bali di UPT Puskeswan dan Peternakan Gunung Sari Kecamatan Gunung Sari Kabupaten Lombok Barat

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve farmers’ understanding of prepartum and postpartum management in Bali cattle at the UPT Puskeswan and Livestock Service Center of Gunung Sari, West Lombok Regency. The activities were conducted through field observation, technical assistance, animal health services, and farmer education during July–August 2024. Prepartum management included nutritional and vitamin supplementation, maintaining barn hygiene, monitoring pregnant cows, and preparing for calving. Postpartum management involved examination of cow and calf conditions, colostrum feeding, vitamin administration, vaccination, and routine health monitoring. In addition, artificial insemination (AI) and animal health services were carried out to improve productivity and reproductive performance of cattle. The results showed that proper reproductive management could help maintain the health of cows and calves, reduce the risk of reproductive disorders, and improve farmers’ awareness regarding appropriate calving management. This community service activity is expected to support productivity improvement and sustainability of Bali cattle farming at the smallholder farmer level.
