Study of development and population structure of dairy cows friesian holstein in enrekang, south sulawesi, Indonesia

Indonesia's dairy cows population tends to increase with growth of 5.18%. The population growth of dairy cows in Java from 2013 to 2017 has decreased by 1.2% per year, while outside Java has increased 1.33% per year. Enrekang Regency is one of the areas in South Sulawesi that has suitable characteristics for the development of dairy cows. The uniqueness of the development of dairy cows in Enrekang namely the processing of fresh milk is made into Dangke. The data analysis method used in this study was analytical descriptive. The results showed that the development of the dairy cows population in Enrekang during the last five years (2013-2017) had increased where the dairy cow population structure consisted of 60.81% adult cows (up 272), male calf 10.37% (up 47), young females 9.47% (up 42), female calf 9.05% (40), young males 9.02% (up 40), and adult bulls 1.28% ( up 5 tails). The dynamics of dairy cow population consisted of livestock expenditure percentage of 4.42% and livestock income 5.35%. Thus, the development of petroleum cows in supporting the steps of milk and animal milk in 2020 must begin with the revitalization of dairy cow production and promoting the development of dairy cows outside of Java, one of which is Enrekang. Efforts to achieve self-sufficiency in animal protein are not limited to the ability to provide adequate food for the community but must also be accompanied by an increase in the quality of community-based food consumption. With the existence of good cooperation among the central government, the regions and stakeholders can realize Indonesia as a World Food Barn in 2045.
