Abstract: Empowerment programs in Indonesia manifested in various aspects that touch the basic services, such as the

development of agricultures, livestocks and community empowerment. The social realities need to be

followed by performing community service programs for the group empowerment. Together, communities

learn to explore the potential in doing alternative work to other sectors. Socio-Economic Empowerment of

Fish Breeders Group Through Agricultural Waste Management As an Alternative Feed, encourage fish

farmers group to be able to increase their family income, the ability to organize and foster the values of

togetherness in the spirit of developing alternative energy sources. Socio-economic empowerment activity is

an activity that is urgent for the moment, because the issues of livelihoods that arise is a powerlessness of

breeders group in small scales. Particularly in developing the potential of accesssing various resources.

Achieving that goal then the method used in this activity is through FGD, agricultural waste management

training as an alternative for fish feed.

1 INTRODUCTION

Diverse necessities of life continues to increase

causing the public must always be creative in finding

alternative productive activities. The main obstacle

that is often found is the inability of villagers to

identify a potential source of social and natural

resources owned. It takes the intervention of outsiders

to encourage people to identify potential sources of

social and natural resources available so that

communities can make a map of a potential source of

social and natural resources potential. One way to

explore the available resources is by occupational

diversification to another sector. According to

Mubyarto (2002) occupational diversification is one

of adaptation strategies that can be done by poor

communities to cope with their powerlessness.

The powerlessness condition experienced by the

people in the Sei Mencirim village, District of

Sunggal, of Deli Serdang. For the people in the Sei

Mencirim village, District of Sunggal, the main

obstacles found in the society is the ignorance of the

community to build the strength of the group into a

powerful social energy in solving social problems in

society. Besides, it is also the ignorance of the public

of using agricultural waste which is commonly found

in Sei Mencirim in order to solve the economic

problem in the community.

A very spacious agricultural land with lots of plant

varieties can be found in the village of Sei Mencirim.

In general, in the village of Sei Mencirim found

farmers growing rice, maize, cassava, yams and other

young plants. At the present time when the farmers

community of Sei Mencirim enter the harvest season,

the problem encountered are agricultural wastes.

Agricultural wastes, before entering the new planting

season are usually left alone until the next planting

season. Besides, the farmers are also set fires to

agricultural wastes.

Creating a prosperous society through the

empowerment of socio-economy encouraged should

be oriented on the utilization of nearby resources. By

utilizing social resources and the natural resources

that exist will result in a strong community socially

and economically. So the socio-economic problems

faced will be easily solved, which is based on the

implementation of the people's economy through

socio-economic empowerment of catfish breeders

group through variation of feed technology

(fermented feed). Fermented feed is more digestible

so nutrient absorption can be optimal. With this

pattern, the need of nutrients in the feed is met so that

livestocks growth will be faster when compared with

normal feeding (grass), growth is usually 2-4 times

increased compared to normal feeding (grass).

Livestocks meat does not contain much fat because of

an ideal feed composition. Feed nutrients such as

vitamins fulfilled by the HCS SOC contents in the

feed. Manure waste does not smell as if eating regular

feed or grass and eliminates the habit of looking for

grass or ngarit and angon. Ngarit or angon is

sometimes very dangerous like finding wild animals

such as snakes while mengarit take place.

Increased livestock reproduction capability of

catfish due to fermented feeding will eventually be

able to increase the population of catfish breeding

more quickly, because the catfish will be efficient in

reproductive activities. Increasing the efficiency of

reproduction is clearly going to increase livestock

numbers quickly and more efficiently, as well as an

increase in breeders income.

2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Related by the issues and programs that will be done

to overcome the problems mentioned above and in

line with the concept and the theory of empowerment,

the solutions proposed to address and solve these

problems conducted by the method:

1. Focus Group Discussion

In group discussions, Focus Group Discussion

(FGD) method is used. This method is done so

that the subject of group discussions covered is

focused on brainstorming about socioeconomic

and environmental problems they face. Their

views also need to be considered in order to cope

with problems that share togtherness values,

equitable, transparent, friendly environment,

gender equality and participative. In this

discussion, it is also expected to produce a map

of social potential and natural resources

potential.

2. Training of Alternative Feed Production For

Fish

Training is conducted on the group of fish

breeders of Sei Mencirim village interactively

and participatively about the increased

production by alternative feed technology

implementation. The stages of the training is to

give an understanding to the group of fish

breeders about the potential of natural resources

that can be managed into livestock feed and

preparation materials of Alternative Feed

Production.

3. Preparation Tools of Fermented feed

production

Tarp, mixing materials tool, scales, plastic

measuring cups, shovels, sprayer, a capacity of

5 liters. Already equipped with a pump, so that

HCS SOC solution can be spread evenly, plastic

barrel, for the materials to be fermented ,

machete, knives and chopper for chopping

agricultural wastes.

4. How to manufacture the Alternative Feed

a) Spread a tarp in the shade, to let us not

overheat during the work;

b) On top of the tarp, with the bed of wood,

agricultural wastes started to chopped;

c) Then mix the agricultural waste with

probiotics that have been provided before.

Then cover tightly for 10-12 days;

d) Open the lid within a period of 3 days to

remove the gases of fermentation;

e) After 10-12 days, the alternative feed can

already be used with comparisons of 1-2kg

for 1000 fish hatchlings.

5. Benefits of alternative feed

Alternative feed is more digestible so nutrients

absorption can be optimal, with this pattern, the

need of nutrients in the feed is met so that

livestocks growth will be faster when compared

with normal feeding (pellets), usually 2-4 times

increased growth compared with the normal

feeding (pellets), livestocks meat does not

contain much fat because of an ideal feed

composition and minimizes the cost of fish feed

that has been dependent on pellets.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Community service activities of "Socio-economic

Differences of Fish Breeders Group Through

Variations of Use Technology (Fermented Feed)"

implemented in several phases of activities, which are

Seed Selection, program socialization in this

community service activity is an effort of the service

team to align time and perception of the team and the

participants of community service in the program

implementation later. In this event, the team also

distributed a variety of supporting pond facilities such

as water wheels. Given the location of the former

service is a swamp, therefore the team chose to use

the water wheel as a means to regulate the circulation

of oxygen in the pond.

After the elections and the process of planting

parrot fish seeds into plastic bags have been carried

out, the team moved to a shared pool that is used by a

group in various means which previously was

prepared and submitted symbolicly to Bapak Sutikno

as the head of community service participants group.

In an effort to maximize the adaptation process of

fishes at the new place, it would not be fed over a span

of two days in a row.

Later, the team is done training to the participants

and during the training process, the team also viewed

the assembly of water wheel made by the participants

of community service. Service continued until seven

in the evening. It is triggered because the spirit of the

participants in preparing a variety of means that will

be used in future breeding activities. The team then

undertakes to provide guidance to the water wheel

until it is installed perfectly. After the training and

installation of the wheel is completed, the activities

continued with having a meal together with

participants of service.

Some of the training carried out are as follows:

 Provide insight to groups of farmers

about natural resources potencial that

can be managed into livestocks feed.

 Preparation Tool of Fermentation feed

production

The evaluation phase done by the service team to

ensure the activities of community service to be run

continuously then the team compiled some aspects

that will be the element to be evaluated of the

implementation of the training program which are:

1. Implementation of the fermented feed

production method.

The process of making the feed is the most vital

activities in the implementation of parrot fish

breeding business. This then make the

implentation of feed production to be the focus

of evaluation for the team in the future.

2. Networking

In this case the team will monitor how the

group's ability to establish cooperation with the

distributor or the seller of parrot fish. This will

facilitate breeders group in the execution of the

sale of livestock products after harvest later.

3. Activeness

The implementation of the breeding business

requires discipline of the executor. This then

requires the group to impose the presence

system during the service performed. It will also

train the group to be professional and discipline

when the service program is completed.

4 CONCLUSION

Community service activities with the title " Socio-

economic Differences of Fish Breeders Group

Through Variations of Use Technology (Fermented

Feed)” received a great attention from the group of

service participants. It can be seen from the number

of members of the group's participation in any

training activities where this is a place for them to

broaden and enhance their capacities.

The author sees the government today should be

able to see the opportunities that can be used as an

attempt to increase the local economy by establishing

creative efforts. As well as the use of fermented feed

that will cut the cost of fish feed for parrot fish

breeders.
