Bountiful Harvests with the Biofloc System: Socialization and Practice of Natural Probiotic Production with the Budeng Village Community
Socialization and Practical Training on Making Natural Probiotics with the Budeng Village Community
In the context of community empowerment and increasing fishery productivity, this activity is a manifestation of synergy between the Bina Desa Team and Budeng Residents.
“My hope is that in the future, Budeng Village can cultivate tilapia independently and produce an abundant harvest while maintaining the pond water ecosystem through eco-friendly natural ingredients.”
— Mr. I Putu Libra Setiawa, S.E. (Head of Budeng Village)
Public enthusiasm accompanied the activities from beginning to end, combining comprehensive theory with practical, hands-on application.
The event was officially opened with warm remarks from Mr. I Putu Libra Setiawa, S.E. as the Head of Budeng Village, followed by a progress report and the objectives of the activity by I Made Dwi Guna Wijaya, Coordinator of the Bina Desa Team.
The core material presentation session was delivered by an expert speaker, Mr. Made Susi Erawan as a Fisheries Extension Officer. He discussed the proper procedures for tilapia biofloc cultivation, as well as the key to maintaining the Carbon/Nitrogen (C/N) ratio.
The Bina Desa Team demonstrated the preparation of natural probiotics directly in front of the residents. The practice used a smart combination of herbal ingredients, bran, molasses, and an eco-friendly bacterial starter.
This natural probiotic mixture is beneficial for maintaining the fish digestive system, while also serving as an innovative solution to reduce operational costs for increasingly expensive artificial feed.
Precious moments from the implementation of the empowerment program in Budeng Village.
