ANALYSIS OF REPRODUCTIVITY OF MADRASIN CATTLE BEFORE AND AFTER FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE ON GILI IYANG ISLAND, SUMENEP, MADURA

Introduction

Analysis of reproductivity of madrasin cattle before and after foot and mouth disease on gili iyang island, sumenep, madura. Analyze Madrasin cattle reproductivity (S/C, pregnancy) and supply/demand on Gili Iyang Island before & after FMD. Find increased S/C but decreased pregnancy & business post-FMD.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze reproductivity (S/C and Pregnancy) and supply and demand for Madrasin cattle before and after FMD disease on Gili Iyang Island, Sumenep, Madura. This research used data from 450 madrasin cattle on Gili Iyang Island, Sumenep. The research was carried out by comparing data obtained before the FMD outbreak in January 2022 – May 2022 and after the FMD outbreak in June 2022 – November 2022. The results of the research showed that the reproductivity of Madrasin cattle before and after the FMD disease on Gili Iyang Island, Sumenep, Madura in S/C increased, while during pregnancy there is a decrease. The supply and demand for the Madrasin cattle business before and after the FMD on Gili Iyang Island, Sumenep, Madura, decreased.

Review

This study addresses a highly relevant and timely topic concerning the impact of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) on the reproductive performance and economic dynamics of Madrasin cattle on Gili Iyang Island. The objective of analyzing reproductivity (service per conception and pregnancy rate) and supply-demand before and after the FMD outbreak provides valuable localized insights into the multifaceted consequences of such devastating livestock diseases. The choice of Madrasin cattle and the specific island context offers a focused case study, which is crucial for understanding the real-world effects on particular breeds and isolated communities. The comparative design, using distinct timeframes before and after the outbreak, is a sound approach for assessing the disease's immediate impacts. The findings presented in the abstract indicate a clear detrimental effect of FMD on cattle reproductivity and the local livestock economy. Specifically, the observation that "S/C increased" implies a decline in breeding efficiency, requiring more services for a successful conception, which is a significant economic burden for farmers. Concurrently, the reported "decrease" in pregnancy rate further confirms the negative impact on overall fertility. The additional finding of a decline in "supply and demand for the Madrasin cattle business" points to broader economic disruptions, affecting market dynamics and potentially farmer livelihoods. These results collectively highlight the severe consequences of FMD beyond direct mortality, underscoring its long-term effects on herd productivity and economic viability. While the abstract provides a concise overview of the study's scope and key outcomes, further detail would strengthen the overall contribution of the full paper. For instance, the magnitude of the increase in S/C and the decrease in pregnancy rate, as well as the statistical significance of these changes, would be critical to fully appreciate the severity of the impact. Similarly, a more specific quantification or description of what aspects of "supply and demand" decreased (e.g., number of sales, prices, farmer income) would enhance the economic analysis. The paper would benefit from elaborating on the potential underlying mechanisms for these changes and discussing policy implications for disease management, recovery strategies, and supporting local cattle businesses in post-outbreak scenarios.
