Pelatihan Pembuatan Desinfektan Alami Daun Balakacida sebagai Upaya Pencegahan Penyebaran Lumphy Skin Disease (LSD) pada Ternak Sapi di Gampong Pulot Aceh Besar

Abstract

Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) has emerged as a major concern in Indonesia, potentially leading to significant economic losses, higher rates of mastitis, infertility, and up to 20 percent mortality in infected livestock, along with decreased milk and meat production. Field data reports 564 LSD cases in Aceh, with three cattle infected near Leupung Subdistrict. Preventive measures focus on enhancing biosecurity practices, particularly in livestock enclosures. Through this service, it is hoped that farmers will gain beneficial knowledge and assistance in applying biosecurity practices to protect their livestock. The PKMBP-TTG activity was successfully carried out, consisting of socialization, education, and training on producing natural balakacida leaf disinfectants and their application to livestock enclosures. Based on the evaluation results, the community service activity had a positive impact, with partner community knowledge of livestock enclosure hygiene and sanitation increasing from 52.63 percent to 100 percent. Additionally, partners' knowledge and skills in producing natural balakacida leaf disinfectants rose from 0 percent to 100 percent.
