Perspective Of Cattle Population Development In West Java Indonesia

The One Million Cattle Development Program in West Java, is the efforts of the Government of West Java Province, in anticipation of the problems of relying on a growing imported beef from abroad or outside the other provinces in the country. West Java province in 2009 was able to contribute to 49,763 head of cattle (17.27%) of beef consumption, and the rest is met by imported cattle slaughtering around 126,932 head (44.04%) and from outside West Java, around 111,493 head (38.69%). However, the growth of beef cattle population in West Java showed an average of 6.18% per year but still cannot meet the beef consumption demand. The purpose of this study to get an overview of the potential development of beef cattle to one million heads, livestock resources, natural and forage resources, especially human resources and supporting infrastructure that accelerates the achievement of one million head of beef cattle in West Java. This study used survey methods; in some areas is a cluster beef cattle breeding development, namely District of Ciamis, Cianjur and Sukabumi. The analysis of data collected using: Location Quotient Analysis, Analysis of Forage Potential Determination, Estimated Livestock Population Analysis, Linear Regression Analysis and SWOT Analysis. The conclusion from this study; That, the based population of beef cattle in West Java is currently about 350,000 head, to reach the one million that is still a deficit of (650,000-700,000) cattle with varied ages. Achievement of the number of beef cattle population as much as one million heads need long periods until year 2023, if only relying on the natural growth (natural increased). If introduced 50,000 pregnant heifers from imported, a population of a million head of cattle in West Java will be achieved in about the year 2021. Therefore, it requires more effort to accelerate the importation of breeder and feeder cattle, mortality rate, and control of slaughter productive female cattle by law. Other factors strongly affect the increase of cattle population, which factors influence the price of beef is 38.72%, demand for beef is 25.56%, imported pregnant heifer is 18.83%, availability of forage is 15.93%, and of cattle birth factors only 7.03%.
