Interaction of integrating land use systems on pig farming systems, West Papua-Indonesia; Worth or worse?

Abstract

Abstract In the pattern of livestock keeping systems, livestock can have free access path to natural resources such as forests, scrubs, water, natural shading, wastes, and residues. How they use and do interact with land use systems particularly the pigs, become the focus of this assessment. the study areas will cover four districts, i.e. Warmare, Prafi, Masni and Sidey. The total areas of study therefore is 1,022.67 km 2 (102,266.54 ha). Data collected from BPS board of Manokwari, Papua Barat. Data were analyzed using Statistical descriptive and shown in tables. Pictures were drawn using Arc GIS and Microsoft Visio. There are 11 types of land use systems which have roles in ecosystem and livestock-human interaction. Land use was dominated by tropical forest and followed by oil palm plantation, communal land, transmigrate areas and arable land. Beef cattle present dominantly the land use systems in agro-complex of Prafi, followed by pigs and goat. Further study is needed to prove the effect of interaction on sustainability indicators, i.e. society, economic and environment.
