Abstract
The pig farmer group located in Baru Village, Marga Sub-district, Tabanan Regency, has been raising pigs since 2014. However, this group always experiences problems associated with pig cage management such as low weights and high mortality rates. Therefore, the right cage sanitation settings need to be applied when raising pigs to achieve tremendous success. The method used in implementing this training are face-to-face interviews, counseling and direct practice. The activities were carried out in stages. Firstly, general counseling on proper pig management were carried out to specifically explain how cages and mortality rates are managed. This is because the optimal weight of the 102 pigs used in this study failed to reach15% with mortality rates below the normal percentage of 11-24%. Secondly, direct practice were carried out in the cage, and thirdly, when the PKM activity ends, the farmers were motivated to implement good cage management techniques, in order to increase their body weight and decrease mortality rate. The result showed that the pig farmer group was able to understand the recommended cage management process needed to achieve a standard body weight and a lower mortality rate from 30% to 15% such as the size, shape, type and cleanliness.
