Sustainability Status of School for Smallholder Livestock Farming Alumni’s Beef Cattle Business in Lamongan District

Abstract The sustainability status of School for Smallholder Livestock Farming (SPR) alumni’s beef cattle business was studied and analyzed. The SPR program administrators who were declared on 21 December 2022 graduated on 11 November 2023 and transformed into the administrators of SPR Alumni Solidarity Association (SASPRI). They came from three sub-districts namely Sambeng, Nimbang, and Sukorame; and all were selected as respondents. The objective of this study was to analyze the sustainability index and status of managed beef cattle enterprises. Data were analyzed using Multidimensional Scaling of Rap-Livestock (MDs) with 6 dimensions and 36 attributes. Leverage analysis of 16 characteristics showed an influence on the long-term sustainability of the cattle farms of SASPRI alumni. The sustainability of cattle farming in the three sub-districts requires capital support and partners to strengthen sustainable business development. Six dimensions show a strong enough effort for sustainability. To improve sustainability status, it is necessary to make comprehensive improvement efforts on sensitive attributes.
