The analysis strategies of catfish farming based on chicken manure utilized the cld model

Abstract

Abstract Production of catfish farming increased every year. Cultivation of catfish by utilizing chicken manure as feed integrates in terms of the environment livestock, as well as soy milk dregs waste as organic probiotics. We require the right model in catfish farming by utilizing chicken manure as feed. This study aims to analyze the model of the catfish farming approach based on chicken manure, using the Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) method as system thinking by entering causal variables into a diagram using software Vensim®. This study utilized a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques conducted interviews and observations in February-May 2022 by several actors, such as chicken breeders and catfish farmers, collectors of soy milk dregs, local residents, and village officials in Margosari Village, Kendal. The results obtained from the CLD model analysis showed the catfish farming strategies based on chicken manure is based on the variables of Environmental Problems, Knowledge, and Economic Potential.
