Ruminant farmers in Tegalsari Village, Gadingrejo Subdistrict, Pringsewu Regency, still face limitations in their knowledge and skills regarding livestock management and feed processing technology, particularly when dealing with limited forage availability during the dry season. This community service activity aims to improve farmers’ capacity through extension services on livestock management and training in fermented feed processing technology. The activity was conducted from June to July 2026 and involved 30 ruminant farmers. The activity stages included a situational analysis, a pre-test, extension sessions, training on silage production, discussions and Q&A sessions, a post-test, and an assessment of the quality of the resulting silage. The extension materials covered selection and breeding, husbandry management, housing, and feed processing. Knowledge was assessed using a 40-item questionnaire with a Likert scale and analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 37.5% on the pre-test to 81.5% on the post-test. Improvements were observed in selection and breeding (35% to 72%), husbandry management (42% to 88%), housing (52% to 76%), and feed processing (21% to 90%), with all increases being statistically significant (p<0.05). This initiative effectively enhanced farmers’ knowledge and supported the implementation of more sustainable husbandry practices and feed management.
