Finding The Best Treasure From Energy Plantation Implementation Part 4

Although grazing specificallymentioned in the Qur'an as the Sunnah of the Prophets, but unfortunately thatgrazing is not studied in detail in this country on the faculty of farms, agricultural faculties, and the faculties of the Qur'an and Hadith, consequently the grazing techniques become undeveloped and our meat production is low, so it must be imported although the best potential land with huge area we can find in this country. In general there are 2 garzing methods today: grazing precision and rotational grazing. Precision grazing is done on pastures that which has been precisely measured feeding requirements for the sheep based on the extent and condition of feed or grass at the site. The location can be  also planted with various other crops, for example grazing in vineyards, in apple plantations, coconut plantation, rubber plantation, in mango plantations, oil palm plantations, energy plantations and so on. In precision grazing like mentioned above there is an effort to keep the other plants from being damaged by the sheep. While on rotation grazing the sheep are rotated based on the condition of the grass or the avaibility of feed. When a lot of grass is used for grazing and when it is exhausted then grazing moves to another location with lots of grass while waiting for the previous place to grow back the grass so it can be used for grazing again. Here are some videos of rotation grazing and precision grazing :



Hopefully, these videos will be more motivating for the development of sheep grazing in Indonesia, especially in palm oil plantations which reaches 12 million hectares, coconut plantations  around 3.7 million hectares  and rubber plantation reaches 3.4 million hectares. In addition to the meat production of the sheep, it will also fertilize the soil from the droppings dung of the sheep distributed during the grazing. Low meat consumption of population of Indonesia needs to be increased with the production of meat from within the country, not even boost imports. When the soil becomes fertile then the productivity of the palm oil will also increase as the palm trees get enough fertilizer. In addition, the resulting sheep's wool will become the wool yarn as one of the best textile materials. Wool can be used to make carpets, blankets, sweaters and so on with superior quality compared with imitations ie acrylic yarn. Indonesia still imports the wool yarn because it does not have sufficient sources of raw materials from within the country. With the encouragement of sheep farms, the import of yarn and wool cloth can be reduced even eliminated and fulfilled from within the country. 
In addition, sheep skins can also be used as raw materials for leather industry. After tanning the sheep skin can be used to load a variety of human needs goods, such as jacket, purse, wallet and so forth. Certain types of sheep also produce milk for the best nutritious beverage for humans. It is very much beneficial by optimizing the plantation lands with sheep grazing.
