(Source: Soedjai, Achmad.1975.Beternak Goat. JAKARTA: NV MasaBaru.)

If we in Indonesia is little attention to the maintenance of livestock by the people it will seems to us that a lot of different types of livestock kept it. From the type of small winged animal called poultry such as chickens, ducks, wild duck, geese and turkeys up to the little four-legged animals such as goats, sheep or sheep, pigs and livestock such as horses, cows and buffaloes.

To ternaak small four-legged animals including rabbits and guinea pigs as well (Javanese: hares). This type of census ternaak banyaak once and each year, the number is constantly increasing, according to figures from the Bureau contained Breeders West Java as follows:

List the number of cattle in West Java.

Across Indonesia goats in 1968 was: 72,818,000, and in 1972 was: 73,534,000 tail.

Of various types of livestock usefulness for different people. as outline these benefits can be divided into two kinds: economic benefits and benefits to maintain pleasure (hobby keepers). Of artificial breeds that tersebutdi above were the largest boondoggle for the people is economical.

Economic terms here mean that it gives to maintain livestock, the results that are needed to live a day.

Horse yield strength to be used to transport agricultural produce goods from one place to another place, such as pulling carts, human menganngkut ride, pull carts, clove, and more. If the herd is disembeli then he gives as a result the meat we eat.

In addition he is also flesh skin results that can be used for a variety of goods made of leather. Also the results of bone that can be used for industrial goods origin of animal bones such as handicrafts of bone, bone meal, adhesives, and so on.

Of cattle manure produced this horse (dirt organic) fertilizer for crops. In some areas of Indonesia people can make woven from horsehair as on the island of Sumba and tomor. People in this place where cigarettes and other makes of horse tail feathers.

Livestock sapid buffaloes yield an energy that is used by us to pull the wagon. Transporting crops, transporting people and so on. Also in Farming cattle buffalo sapid an enormous boondoggle that is the energy used on the land which was to draw the plow (wuluku) and fork. In addition, the results were again composed of flesh, skin and bones if the animal is slaughtered. Similarly, feces (manure) to fertilize crops.

Of small livestock pigs we can take the results that meat to be eaten skin, bones and dung used industrial materials to fertilizer plants. Sometimes pigskin for material necessities such as shoes, bags, and so on. Similarly, from fat pigs, people usually make pork oil.

Goats and sheep produce meat, skin, bones, feathers and manure. Meat is necessary for our consumption. Tualng material for industry. Leather for goods such as handbags, shoes, wallets, and more. Fleece material for textile and carpet materials. Goat hair also used the material for rugs. In Smyrna, Turkey is also used for textile material (fabric camel hair). Furthermore, both types of manure from livestock (goats and sheep) is widely used as fertilizer for the vegetables and plants.

Of cattle buffaloes sapid an above who have expressed an outcome that is important and useful to us, namely milk. The Indonesian people now know and understand true that milk from cattle that useful as makaanan (drinks) we are a day, especially as the baby drinks. In practice in our land of Indonesia, this has yet to be implemented. Much remains to be prohibitive. One of the perceived weight of all by the people Kitaa is the purchase price is too high, it is still far beyond his understanding and desire despite using existing boondoggle on the people.

Generally, there are new people in the city and around the city there are opportunities to drink the milk of cattle in a certain time. Another obstacle is not enough cattle that produce milk. In addition, the customs of the various tribes of Indonesia is not the same. The most common is that cow's milk has been used as a wholesome drink large by all our people everywhere. Water buffalo milk is used only by people in East Sumatra. That's where people have a lot maintained Buffaloes countrymen who came from India and Pakistan. Namnya buffalo nation: cheap (Cheap-Buffel). Buffalo nation can produce milk each day to 5 liters. In another part of Indonesia, including West menjawa been tried and propagated also to the people in the village to milk buffalo milk and drinking water but the results to date have not been satisfactory.

Goat's milk has a lot of drunk people and the conventional wisdom is greater than buffalo milk but not level with the prevalence of drinking cow's milk. In areas of Java island where people have been used to drink goat's milk increases nampaknua them all.

In areas Giritontro, Central Java, people have to get used to drink goat's milk every day. There almost all the goats are milked and milk litter drunk. Kid goats were given only a part of its mother's milk, a large part drunk people. It seems all the people Giritontro, after drinking regular milk, the disease can be eradicated malnutrition even disappear altogether. Symptoms of flatulence in children appears no longer. Similarly gejaala hair loss after being attacked by diseases such as Typhus invisible. Murit at school to be more agile, passionate and carefree. Symptoms sleepy in class does not appear anymore.

From ternaak lamb or sheep can actually drink milk as milk and goat's milk is the same boondoggle. But the sheep are milked not easy because punting sheep udders are usually too small.

In general, cattle raising by the people in the village still done very simply and not adjusted dengna rules set by the veterinary and animal husbandry science so that various types of livestock and people that do not or have not as they should be expected to result.
