Abstract

Development of cattle ranches in East Lampung Regency is expected to develop in supporting the economy of rural communities, however the provision of animal feed is still a major obstacle, namely the unfulfilled amount and adequacy of nutritional value, among other things availability of feed that is not continuous throughout the year. The purpose of this activity was to empower farmers and breeders in Rantau Fajar Village, Raman Utara District, East Lampung Regency in developing Sorghum sp as an alternative to forage for livestock. In order to achieve these objectives, the method of approach applied was (1) counseling on the cultivation and benefits of sorghum, and (2) demonstration plots for planting sorghum. The method used in this activity was the andragogy method (education methods for adults), the active participation of participants (farmers and breeders) is prioritized in order to find out their potential and increase motivation. The material is presented in the form of lectures, discussions and demonstrations of the plot and post harvest sorghum. Sorghum can grow on less fertile soils in dry seasons, the risk of failure is small, can be leveled, and the cost (input) is relatively low. When sorghum is harvested and fed to cattle, sorghum has high palatability. From the results of this activity, it can be concluded that farmers and breeders can take advantage of all parts of the sorghum plant (stems, leaves and fruit) for animal feed.
