1. The history of dairy farm
Cattle are the most important livestock as a source of meat, milk, labor and other needs. Cows produce about 50% (45-55%) of meat in the world, 95% of milk and 85% of the skin. Cattle originating from the family Bovidae. such as bison, bison, water buffalo (Bubalus), African buffalo (Syncherus), and the anoa.
Domestication of cattle began to be about 400 years BC. Cattle are thought to originate from Central Asia, then spread to Europe, Africa and throughout Asia. Towards the end of the 19th century, Ongole cattle from India put the island of Sumba and since then the island was used as a place of pure Ongole cattle breeding.
In 1957 has been done to improve the genetic quality of cattle by road Madura cattle crossed with Red Deen. Other crosses between local cattle namely (Peranakan Ongole) with Holstein Frisian dairy cows at Grati in order to obtain a new type of dairy cows according to the climate and conditions in Indonesia.
2. FISHERIES CENTER
Sentra cattle farm in the world exist in European countries (Scotland, England, Denmark, France, Switzerland, The Netherlands), Italy, America, Australia, Africa and Asia (India and Pakistan). Holstein Friesian cows for example, is famous for its high milk production (+ 6350 kg / yr), with milk fat percentage of around 3-7%. However, these dairy cows are capable of producing up to 25,000 kg of milk / year, when the seeds are used, fed in accordance with the needs of livestock, the environment that support and implement cultivation with good management. Currently the world's milk production reached 385 million m2/ton/th, especially in the temperate zone. Production of dairy cows in the PSPB is still less than 10 liters / day and far from normal standards of 12 liters / day (on average only 5-8 liters / day).
3. TYPE
Broadly speaking, the nations of the cow (Bos) contained in the world there are two, namely (1) those derived from Zebu cattle (Bos indicus) or type of humped cattle, which originated and spread in the tropics and (2) group from the Bos primigenius, which spread in sub-tropical regions, or better known as Bos Taurus.
Superior type of dairy cows and most widely cultivated Shorhorn cows (from England), Holstein Friesian (from Holland), Yersey (from the Channel between England and France), Brown Swiss (from Switzerland), Danish Red (from Denmark) and Droughtmaster (from Australia). The survey results in PSPB Cibinong indicate that the type of dairy cows are most suitable and profitable for cultivation in Indonesia is Frisien Holstein.
4. BENEFITS
Dairy farms produce meat as a source of protein, milk, leather used for industrial and manure as a source of organic farmland.
5. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
The ideal location to build the enclosure is an area which is located quite far from the settlement but easily reached by vehicle. Cages should be separated from homes with a minimum distance of 10 feet and the sun should be able to penetrate the stable yard and close to agricultural land. Manufacturing can be done in groups in the middle of rice fields.
6. TECHNICAL GUIDELINES FOR CULTIVATION
6.1. Preparation Facility and Equipment
Cages can be made in the form of double or single, depending on the number of cattle owned. In the single-cage type, placement of cattle carried on one line or one line, while that of type double cage placement conducted in two ranks facing each other or mutually contradictory. Between the two ranks are usually made to the road lane.
Making cages for fattening purposes (kereman) if the capacity is usually in the singular number only a few livestock. However, if the activity is intended for commercial cattle, the size of the cage should be wider and bigger so it can accommodate more number of cows. Floor of the cage should be sought kept clean to prevent the onset of various diseases. The floor is made of solid soil or cement, and easily cleaned from manure. Ground floor was covered with dry straw as a warm base enclosure.
All parts of the cage and equipment that had been used should be consecrated hamakan advance with a disinfectant, such as creolin, lysol, and other materials. The size of the cage is made for an adult bull is 1.5 m or 2.5 x2 x2 m, while for adult cows was 1.8 m and x2 for the calf enough x1 1.5 m per cow, with a height of 2-2 +, 5 m from the ground. The temperature around 25-40 degrees C cages (average of 33 degrees C) and
humidity of 75%. Location of maintenance can be performed on the lowlands (100-500 m) to highland (> 500 m).
6.2. Nurseries
The requirements to be met by adult female dairy cattle seeds are:
high milk production,
3.5 to 4.5 years of age and had been childless,
derived from the parent and offspring of bulls that have high milk production,
like a wedge shape,
his eyes glowing, back straight, good head shape, the distance of the front legs or rear legs wide enough and strong legs,
udder is large enough, convergence on the body is quite good, if palpable soft, smooth skin, veins much milk, the long and winding, nipples no more than 4, is located in a symmetrical square and not too short,
healthy body and not as carriers of infectious diseases, and
give birth each year.
While holding a good candidate, among others:
derived from the parent that produces high breast milk,
head and neck a little long, sharp shoulders, a long body, back and hips, chest deep and wide hips,
distance between the two hind legs and front legs wide enough,
the growth of good udder and nipples,
number of nipples no more than 4 and is located symmetrically, and
healthy and not disabled.
A good stud should meet the following criteria:
age of about 4-5 years,
have high fertility,
Power down high production trait to their children,
derived from the male parent and a good,
large body according to age, strong, and has the properties of a good stud,
wide head, large neck, waist width, strong backs,
face a little long, slightly sharp and broad shoulders,
thigh flat and quite separately,
chest width and spacing between ribs is wide enough,
body length, chest deep, chest circumference and a large abdominal circumference, and
healthy, free from infectious diseases and does not reduce defects in the offspring.
Procedure:
Seed Selection and Prospective Parent
To pursue the high productivity of livestock, environmental improvements and increase the genetic quality of livestock is concerned. Seeds of the new arrivals should be quarantined for disease transmission. Then the seedlings were given drinking water mixed with salt, placed in clean cages and were weighed and recorded performance.
Seed treatment and Prospective Parent
The whole virgin dairy cow that has not shown signs of lust or not pregnant after a certain period, should be set aside. If a cow has been set aside to produce milk, cow milk production were selected based on the return, the tendency inflamed udder and temperament.
System Pemuliabiakan
Often dairy cows mated with virgin males broilers to reduce the risk of birth difficulty and only after they produce children one male mated with a choice of dairy cows. Seedlings should be given the opportunity to move on at least 2 hours every day.
6.3. Maintenance
Sanitation and Preventive Actions
On the maintenance of intensive cattle ranchers are caged so easy to watch, while maintaining extensive oversight difficult because the cows are allowed to live freely maintained. Dairy cows are kept in the shade (the room) has a conception of higher production (19%) and milk production 11% more than without shade. Diseased seedlings and seedlings treated immediately because the midwife before kandangkan dried for 1-2 months.
Animal Care
Livestock bathed 2 days. Whole cow's mother bathed every day after the cage is cleaned before milking and milk. Cages should be cleaned every day, dirt cage placed on a special reservoir that can be processed into fertilizer. After the cage is cleaned, the floors should be given a mattress as flooring are generally made of straw or forage feed remnants (mattress once a week should be dismantled). Weighing do since beef calf to adulthood. Cow calf weighed once a week while adult cattle were weighed every month or 3 months. Newly weaned cows were weighed once a month. Adult cattle can be weighed by the estimated measurement based on the circumference and chest width, body length and shoulder height.
Giving Feed
Feeding the cows can be done in three ways, namely:
grazing systems (pasture fattening)
kereman (dry lot fattening)
combination of first and second ways.
Feed given in the form of forage and concentrates. Forage in the form of rice straw, sugarcane shoots, lamtoro, alfalfa, grass, grass or grass king of Bengal. Given forage during the day after milking as much as 30-50 kg / head / day. Grass for cattle feed in the form of adult
generally given as much as 10% of body weight (BW) and the additional feed as much as 1-2% of baseline. Cows who are breastfeeding (lactation) require additional food by 25% forage and concentrates in the rations. In the form of fresh grass forage should be added to the type of beans (legumes).
Sources of refined carbohydrates in the form of bran or rice bran, pulp, cassava, and coconut cake and minerals (as reinforcement) in the form of table salt, lime, etc.. Feeding of concentrate should be given in the morning and afternoon before the cows were milked as much as 1-2 kg / head / day. Besides food, the cow should be given water to drink as much as 10% of body weight per day.
The main maintenance is the provision of adequate and quality feed, and keep clean the cage and livestock health. Kereman feeding is combined with grazing in the early dry season, cattle grazed each day. In the rainy season, cattle are caged and given food by rations. Grazing also aims to provide an opportunity to move the cows to strengthen his legs.
Cage Maintenance
Dirt dumped elsewhere in order to undergo a process of fermentation (+1-2 weeks) and turn into manure that has been cooked and good. Cowshed should not be closed tightly (slightly open) for air circulation inside running smoothly. Clean drinking water should be available at all times. Place food and drink should be made outside of the cage but still below the roof. Feeder is made somewhat higher in order to feed given not trampled or mixed with dirt. While the drinking water should be made permanent cement tanks and slightly higher than the surface of the floor. Also provide equipment for bathing cattle.
7. Pests and diseases

Prevention and treatment efforts made by cutting nails and soak the affected part in the solution refanol repeated for 30 minutes once a week and put the cattle in pens clean and dry.
8. HARVEST
8.1. Main Results
The main result of the cultivation of dairy cows is the milk produced by female parent.
8.2. By-product
In addition to milk of dairy cows also provide other results of flesh and skin that comes from cows that are not productive and manure generated from livestock manure.

10. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF FARMING
10.1. Cultivation of Business Analysis
Dairy cattle business in Indonesia is still a subsistence by a small breeder and have not reached economic-oriented business. The low level of productivity of livestock is more due to lack of capital, and knowledge / skills of farmers that includes aspects of reproduction, feeding, management of post-harvest results, the implementation of recording systems, milking, sanitation and disease prevention. In addition farmers' knowledge about aspects of trade system should be improved so that the benefits worth the maintenance. Production of dairy cows in the world has now exceeded 385 million m2/ton/th with the level of cattle sales and the product is greater than the calf, males, and cow afkiran. In the United States, the level of sales and purchases in cash cow and its products reached 13% of all farms in the world. While the level of sales calf (calf), stud dairy cattle, and cow salvage only around 3%. Milk production number that still need to be increased in line with the increasing number of people in this world. To achieve high production levels of the management and feeding should be strictly in accordance with the needs of livestock, which feed the minimum that can be utilized by livestock (absorbed) cultivated around 3.5 to 4% of dry matter
10.2. Opportunity Overview Agribusiness
Family dairy farm businesses provide benefits if the number of cattle that are at least as much as 6 tails, although the level of efficiency can be achieved with a minimum of 2 pengusahaannya tails with an average milk production of 15 liters / day. Efforts to increase farmers' income through the cultivation of dairy cows may also be done by diversifying the business. In addition to cooperative and integrative attempts (horizontal and vertical) with other farmers and other agencies who are competent, and remained above the established pattern of PIR.
