Challenges on Cattle Breeding of Smallholder Farmer Toward 4.0 Era

A project within the Indonesia- Australia Partnership on Food Security in Red Meat and Cattle Sector has been established in expanding the commercial-scale beef cattle breeding industry. There are three potential models for cattle breeding tested through partnership such as Integrated Oil Palm and Cattle Production (SISKA), Open-Grazing and Smallholder Cut-and-Carry. To support Indonesian cattle breeding investors toward industry 4.0, some software has been developed: CALPROS, CALPROF and CALFIN used for monitoring and evaluation available online. Another application, SI PINTAR, is to record and identify livestock with Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) recording and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) tracker to monitor livestock in real time basis. Applying those tools has proved increase benefits in cattle breeding business including smallholders and recommended for future use toward industry 4.0
