It took livestock bailout
The provision of the bailout to buy pedet, productive females, and pregnant cows has been done Inseminator Association of West Java (Hibar) Ciamis. These institutions have the funds to buy a cow that was forced to sell productive breeders because it is so desperate for money.

According to Vice Chairman Ciamis Refer Hibar Nugraha, new Ciamis Hibar have initial funds for USD 150 million bailout from the purchase of productive cattle ranchers. In the meantime, there are four pregnant cows purchased with funds. This bailout is a grant from the Government of Ciamis District, said Refer.

Hibar purchased cattle ranchers maintained. If at a later cows were sold or the children and their children are sold, the proceeds divided between farmers and cut Hibar after initial purchase price. Referring to the Ciamis Decree No. 7 of 2005 on sales of Farm Animals, 60 per cent proportions of the division for farmers and 40 percent for Hibar.

Reference added, 40 percent of the money was the proceeds will be used again by Hibar as capital funds. This pattern is expected to be sustainable and reduce the amount of productive cows are sold.

District Animal Husbandry Department Head Ciamis Wahidin said, the economic pressure is often a trigger to sell productive cows by cattle producers. If this continues, efforts to achieve the target increase in cattle population will be constrained.

Therefore, the existence of the bailout is expected to prevent productive cows sold to other regions. Unfortunately, local governments can not budget for the budget bailout pure 2010. Wahidin hope, the budget changes will have a budget allocation for this bailout.

Wahidin optimistic self-sufficiency in Ciamis beef if the target population reached 90,000 in 2014 fulfilled the tail. Requirement is the realization of the birth of artificial insemination (IB) per year not less than 9000 and no tail productive cows that are sold out. Cattle population in some 37,000 new Ciamis tail.
Head of Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, and Marine Tasikmalaya regency Dali added Maman, the cow needs in Tasikmalaya reached 1,000 tails per month. Tasikmalaya origin of new cows could meet 15 percent of the needs. Most cows need Tasikmalaya supplied from Central Java, East Java, or East Nusa Tenggara.

Cattle population in Tasikmalaya regency tail current 31,527. According to Maman, needed at least 100,000 seedlings to achieve self-sufficiency in beef.

Maman said the tail of acceptor IB 9948, 4076 obtained the tail. Beyond that, there are many cows IB results are not recorded as sold or are not reported. Therefore, we will continue to promote efforts to prevent the sale of fattening calves.

Dark periods Cattle Enterprises
Government steps beef self-sufficiency target in 2014 by raising cattle population should be good news for cattle farmers in the country. However, for most of the breeders who focus their business is beef cattle fattening, this commitment is not enough.

That's because amid shortage conditions, beef cattle imports increasingly ready to flood the domestic market. In fact, not only that, frozen beef products had been circulated at a low price, Rp 39,000 per kilogram. Situations like that are not profitable for cattle farmers.

Destroyed cattle production business. Ready to raid cattle beef imports more frenzied. Business competition is not healthy again, grumbled Nandang Suryana, breeders from KAWALU District, City of Tasikmalaya.

How does not. Ready to cut a cow imported as brahman cross type sold in butcher with the most expensive to live rather than Rp 22.500 per kilogram. The selling price of imported hybrid cattle in the country maintained Rp 25,000 per kilogram.

Prices like that, for the farmer, very harmful, especially breeders have maintenance costs and purchase price of cows is also expensive. The cattle imported into Indonesia live cut.
Even when the imported beef butcher cut losses, the importers have to bear so as subsidies from the importer to the butcher. As a result, a butcher not lose. In contrast to when he received a cow from a breeder, if a loss, borne by the executioner. According to Nandang, beef importers have many ways to tie a butcher in order to accept and reject the import of beef from cattle ranchers.

Used to weigh the price of live cattle from ranchers Rp 27.000 per kilogram. Now even if the price Rp 24,000 per kilogram, there is no butcher a glance, Nandang said.

Although the price of cheap beef imports, it does not mean that consumers benefit from the fact that beef prices remain high in the market, around Rp 60,000 per kilogram. Which fortunately still a butcher.

Cattle farmers from the village of Karsamenak, KAWALU District, City of Tasikmalaya, Subekti, adding, unfavorable situation has forced farmers to leave half-breed such as the type of cow and simental limousines. Now the farmers tend to maintain the local cattle as hybrid type ongole (PO).

Consequently, PO beef market share is limited, just in time before the Eid al-Adha. However, it had to do because even if imposed maintain simental or limousine type, livestock will be difficult to sell. A profit Rp 50,000 to Rp 100,000 from selling the cows just now difficult. In fact, millions of capital.

Nandang suggests, if you want to help farmers, the government should restrict imports, or at least change the system of the cattle trade, which included only of cows (weighing up to 3 hundred pounds) for fattened in the country, instead of directly importing ready beef cattle. If only insert of cows, cattle business competition is not expected as this.
