Abstract
ABSTRACT Agribusiness of cattle is an activity that integrates the development of the agricultural sector simultaneously with the development of industrial sectors and related services in a group of cattle industry from upstream to downstream. This study aims to determine the increase in income of farmers through artificial insemination in agricultural businesses of cattle in the central district of Sinjai, Regency of Sinjai. There are 100 breeders determined on purpose, which consisted of 50 breeders of natural mating cattle and 50 breeders of artificial insemination cattle that were interviewed to be used as data sources. The data analysis uses the income formula and is descriptively explained and uses the artificial insemination efficiency formula. Based on the results obtained from the sale of both natural and artificial insemination cattle, a significant difference can be seen between the two, a natural mating cow can only be worth millions if it is one year old, while the cattle of IB only needs a matter of months to be valued in millions of rupees, it is due to differences in the acceleration of growth between natural mating and the results of the IB that result in income differences between breeders of natural mating and IB, IB breeders experience a significant increase in income compared to natural mating breeders. The majority of the cows sold by breeders in Central Sinjai are bulls, which is quite disturbing for breeders of natural breed cattle due to the fact that many begin to switch to IB when their cows are lustful but do not find bulls. IB is a solution for breeders who do not find bulls, IB is also considered more efficient because it can prevent inbreeding and lesions during mating and the average success rate is high because only once the injection of a cow has been pregnant And, more importantly, the resulting offspring are larger and faster growing and high selling prices.
