The difficulty of obtaining forage, especially in the dry season and the low production of cultivated grasses planted by farmers around their cattle sheds, and the lack of skills of farmers in processing livestock waste is a problem that also occurs. Through this program, a solution was given, namely the creation of kefir Local Microorganism (LoM) by utilizing the remaining food and feces and urine of livestock through training and application of to cultivated grass.
