Lukman Hardi (45), along with his wife Siskayana and their two children, is a resident of Jono Oge Village and a survivor of the 2018 earthquake and liquefaction disaster, which caused them to lose their possessions and sources of livelihood.
Previously, Mr. Lukman had never raised any type of livestock. His journey began when he joined a livelihood support program under the REAF I project, where he received cash assistance of IDR 3,500,000. He added IDR 500,000 of his own funds to purchase four goats. Later, when ADRA Indonesia launched the REAF II program in Jono Oge Village, Mr. Lukman enrolled in the Livestock Farmer Field School to deepen his knowledge of animal husbandry. Through this program, he also received two additional goats through a livestock revolving assistance scheme.
During the Livestock Farmer Field School, Mr. Lukman learned and applied various important livestock management practices, such as using elevated and ground-level (lemprak) pens, feed management, and animal health care.
“I raise my goats by grazing them. At 2 PM, I release them into the field, and by 5 PM they return to the pen. Their feed is available directly in the garden,” explained Mr. Lukman.
He also uses mineral blocks in the pen to supplement his goats’ mineral intake and improve their overall health.
Currently, Mr. Lukman owns 40 goats (33 females and 7 males) and has already sold 20 goats at an average price of IDR 2,500,000 per head. In addition to selling livestock, he also generates income by selling goat manure. Within six months, he was able to sell 50 sacks of manure at IDR 7,000 per sack, which he sold in Kabobona Village, Sigi.
Livestock farming has become a vital source of income for Mr. Lukman’s family.
“The livestock support provided by ADRA has helped us tremendously. From the sale of the goats, I save part of the money for my children’s education and use some to buy young goats again. For example, if I earn IDR 3,000,000 from a sale, I use IDR 1,000,000 to buy new goats and the rest for household needs and savings,” explained Mr. Lukman.
