Factors Influencing Domestic Fresh Milk Production (SSDN)

Abstract

Currently the supply of domestic fresh milk (SSDN) is still unable to fulfill the need of domestic fresh milk. The limited supply as well as limited production of fresh milk in the country is caused by forage finding difficulty, relatively expensive concentrate prices, limited farmers’ capital, fluctuating milk prices, and farmers’ inability to increase dairy cow population by cattle breeding; they depend on natural birth alone. The aim of this research is to identify the general description of dairy cattle business and analyze the influential factors of domestic fresh milk (SSDN) production. Quantitative approach is used in the research method. The data used are primary data and secondary data related to the research. The research located in Boyolali District, Central Java Province. Multiple Linear Regression method using the Cobb Douglas model is used to analyze the data. The results indicate that the number of dairy attle, forage feed, concentrates and land area have a significant effect on the amount of milk production for dairy cattle. While partially, only the number of dairy cattle have a significant effect on the amount of domestic fresh milk production (SSDN).
