The Balifarm Goat Farm, located in Kesiut Village, is a potential village that deserves to be managed and developed. Apart from being a cattle business, it also has the potential to be developed into a tourist destination. However, Balifarm Goat Farm has not managed goat manure effectively. Urine waste and solid waste are simply left to pile up under the cages and are sometimes simply sold at low prices to nearby farmers. Manure production on this farm from each adult goat is an average of 1.4 kg/day, so that the total solid waste produced from the entire goat population is estimated at 200 kg/day, while for urine the average is 2.5 liters/goat/day, so that the total urine produced from the entire population is about 300 liters/day. The large volume of livestock manure produced and the lack of knowledge about the utilization and processing of livestock waste have the potential to cause disease in cattle and environmental pollution around the location of the farm. Urine waste and solid goat manure can basically be processed into liquid organic fertilizer, bio urine and compost, which is rich in nutrients and has higher economic value compared to sales without processing. The methods used are planning and observation methods, counseling and training methods, and questionnaire methods. Respondents in this activity consisted of 10 people who were members of the Balifarms. The results obtained were an increase in members’ understanding regarding the sorting and processing of goat manure, namely urine into liquid organic fertilizer and solid manure into compost with an average level of knowledge before being given education was 44% and after being given education was 84%. The percentage increase for the average level of public knowledge is 98%. This percentage shows that the absorption capacity of the Balifarms members for the education provided is very high. The segregation of goat manure will facilitate the process so that it is more effective and has good quality because the raw materials are not mixed with other materials. The results of Liquid Organic Fertilizer and Compost Fertilizer can be applied to agricultural land which is also located in the Balifarms area, and thus can realize a waste-free crop-cattle system that will lead to a sustainable agricultural system.
