INCOME OF PARTNERSHIP BROILER FARMING: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OPEN AND CLOSED CAGES IN BANYUMAS DISTRICT

Abstract

Broiler farming with a partnership pattern aims to improve technical and economic performance. Technological advances have led to the development of cage types in broiler rearing from open house to close house. The purpose of this study was to determine the production cost structure and income of broiler farming in partnership pattern using open house and close house cages in Banyumas Regency. The basic method used was descriptive quantitative. The method of determining the sample was carried out using snowball sampling, with a total of 30 farmers using open house cages and 30 farmers using close house cages who followed the partnership pattern. This research uses farming analysis to obtain income, namely reducing the amount of
revenue with the costs incurred. The results showed that farmers who used close house cages earned higher income than farmers who used open house cages. The Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on the income of broiler farms in Banyumas Regency, especially those using open house cages, because the income during the
Covid-19 pandemic was negative - Rp1,608,487/1,000 birds/year for open house cages and Rp2,08,756/1,000 birds/year for close house cages. The post-Covid-19 period showed an increase in income in both types of cages, which amounted to Rp2,945,502/1,000 heads/year for close house cages and Rp2,138,703/1,000 heads/year for open house cages.
