Livestock ecology research on institution and traditional sharing systems in cattle farms

2019 
The present research aimed to analysis differences between the traditional profit share system and institution profit share system in cattle farms. The research was conducted from February to March 2018 in the Maiwa Sub-district, Enrekang District by using quantitative and descriptive methods. The types of data were qualitative and quantitative from both primary and secondary sources, and the data analysis used was the frequency distribution and income analysis. The results show that characteristics of the respondents in the traditional system and the institution system are similar regarding age and livestock experience, but show differences in educational attainment, a number of family members, and the commercial scale. Beef cattle farmers who follow the system of partnerships with the institution profit share system are mainly at secondary level (45.4%), while beef cattle farmers who follow a traditional profit share system are also mainly at the secondary level (46.8%). Farmers who followed the institution system had higher incomes compared to those in the traditional system of revenue sharing of pastoralists. The traditional sharing system does not involve a contract while the institution sharing system uses a contract. The institution sharing system, therefore, provided more significant benefit to farmers.
