Abstract

Beef cattle farming plays an important role in improving rural economies, especially in arid climates that often face complex ecological, social and economic challenges. Dry climates, which typically have limited water and feed availability, require specialised approaches to ensure the sustainability of livestock enterprises. In this context, eco-friendly livestock innovation models are two key elements that can help increase beef cattle productivity in dry climates. This study aims to analyze the adoption model of eco-friendly livestock innovations in dry climate areas. The study analyzed the influence of farmer characteristics, extension support, business environment support, and innovation characteristics on the process and level of adoption and sustainability of beef cattle in Timor Tengah Utara Regency. This survey research used a sample of 300 respondents selected based on structural equation model analysis guidelines. The research was conducted in three sub-districts, including Insana, Central Insana, and West Insana. Data collection was conducted from April to September 2024. Descriptive percentage data analysis and Structural Equation Model analysis. The results of the study indicate that extension support and business environment support have a significant and positive effect on the adoption process of eco-friendly livestock innovation. Extension support and business environment support have a significant effect on the level of adoption of dry climate agricultural innovations. The characteristics of innovation are the factors that most influence the sustainability of beef cattle. Ease of innovation such as the cultivation of dry climate-resistant feed crops and cow feces processing technology have a significant effect on sustainability. The adoption process has a significant effect on the level of adoption. Good implementation of the adoption stages determines the level of farmer acceptance of the innovation offered.

肉牛养殖在改善农村经济方面发挥着重要作用，尤其是在经常面临复杂的生态、社会和经济挑战的干旱气候地区。干旱气候地区通常水源和饲料供应有限，需要采用专门的方法来确保畜牧企业的可持续性。在这种情况下，生态友好型畜牧业创新模式是有助于提高干旱气候条件下肉牛生产率的两个关键因素。本研究旨在分析干旱气候地区采用生态友好型畜牧业创新模式的情况。研究分析了农民特征、推广支持、商业环境支持和创新特征对 Timor Tengah Utara 地区肉牛采用过程和水平以及可持续性的影响。这项调查研究根据结构方程模型分析指南选取了 300 名受访者作为样本。研究在三个分区进行，包括英萨纳、中英萨纳和西英萨纳。数据收集时间为 2024 年 4 月至 9 月。进行了描述性百分比数据分析和结构方程模型分析。研究结果表明，推广支持和商业环境支持对生态友好型畜牧业创新的采用过程有显著的积极影响。推广支持和商业环境支持对干旱气候农业创新采用水平有显著影响。创新特征是最能影响肉牛可持续发展的因素。耐干旱气候饲料作物的种植和牛粪便处理技术等创新的难易程度对可持续性有显著影响。采用过程对采用水平有重要影响。采用阶段的良好实施决定了农民对所提供创新的接受程度。
