Abstract

The purpose of this program is to develop appropriate technology (TTG)
for Small Businesses in livestock crickets (ternak Jangkrik) in Pakisrejo
village, Srengat, Blitar, to minimize mortality and facilitate the mixing of
crickets feed. The expected outcome of this program is the availability of
appropriate technologies (TTG)as a tool to minimize of the death crickets and
the availability of mixing feed machine to increase the profits and welfare of
farmers crickets as partners of this program. The method used in this program
was initiated in coordination with partners to determine the necessary tools,
after getting a deal then, planning and procurement TTG grinding machine feed
and the engine temperature control box, then handover tools to partners.
further provided training for use and maintenance tools, marketing
management, financial management and training in alternative processing
food-based nutrient-rich cricket and proteins, and therefore to increase sales
turnover do mentoring. The results of these activities is the availability of one
set of feed grinding machine useful for softening food little crickets, milling of
corn, soybeans, and other sentrat to mix food crickets. In addition to the
activities we purchased feed grinding machine and 21 engine temperature
control box crickets useful to regulate the temperature of the box kept warm to
maintain temperature it will not too cold or not too warm which to reduce the
dead of the crickets so that reduce farmers lose. After initially observed that the
death rate of crickets in the winter season usually reach 40% but after using
