A Community-Based Breeding Program as a Genetic Resource Management Strategy of Indonesian Ongole Cattle

It is essential to manage genetic resources, especially in local livestock breeds, establish an equilibrium among livestock, humans, and the environment for sustainable development conservation. Genetic resource management necessary overcome challenges increasing productivity while ensuring environmental sustainability climate resilience. Attempts these have led threat of erosion through uncontrolled crossbreeding, particularly threatening hybrid vigor indigenous such as Indonesian Ongole cattle. Considering community-based breeding a viable strategy systematic breeding, this study aimed design program The profile socio-ecological community resources were studied using purposive random sampling technique within effective population size case study; both respondents objects investigated. revealed that knowledge livelihood-supported institutions are crucial practices cattle breeding. These factors shown be strategic priorities when designing programs. This approach empowers cooperatives operate by standardizing integrated system selecting incentive initiatives big data.
