Abstract

The community outreach programs discussed in this paper is focused to the effort to realize a self-sufficient pesantren in energy and food needs, especially the needs of fuel for cooking and the needs of electricity for lighting by using cow dung to be processed into biogas. This program was implemented in the Entrepreneurial Pesantren of Sunan Kalijaga which is located in the hamlet of Jomblangan Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta who have bussines in the field of dairy farms and agriculture. Biogas produced from waste will also be utilized to provide an organic fertilizer that will be beneficial for farming. So a sustainable synergies between the boarding schools with its business will be realized. Strategies to improve cow cattle results refer to the research results of the National Academy of Science. That is the population of cows are divided into three groups: heifer, 3 – 4 parent for the first month after childbirth and the bull. Then for each group, balanced rations are formulated between rice straw, combines fine bran, coconut shell, elephant grass and cassavas. Whereas to carry out the road-map utilization of cow dung, the following things are done: 1) outreach to the citizens of the pesantren to socialize the utilization of cow dung as biogas and organic fertilizer as well as solid or liquid, 2) coordination with the pesantren for arrangement of cages and construction of biogas installations from cow dung, 3) construction system of biogas installations, and 4) carry out three kinds of outreach, namely the outreach of use and utilization of biogas for cooking and illumination, outreach of biogas installation system maintenance management, and outreach about the making and marketing of organic fertilizer and medicinal insect exterminator. The result of the above strategies are proven can reduce the pesantren spending in terms of cooking and electricity costs and increase the pesantren revenues of cows fattening.
