Abstract. The poor management of livestock waste products, problems
associated with the technology transfer of compost and biochar organic
fertilizers not performed in partners, and management issues related to group
strengthening are some of the problems found in partners in Buduk village,
Badung Bali. The purpose of community service activities is to increase the
understanding and skills of partners in converting livestock waste into compost
and biochar organic fertilizers that are useful for improving soil fertility and
crop yields. The integration of livestock business as a meat producer with its
byproducts processed into fertilizer that is ready to be marketed is expected to
increase the added value and income of farmers. Therefore, these goals were
achieved through counseling, training, mentoring, and technology transfer with
direct practice in the field. The results showed that the partner farmer groups
tend to receive and implement management of cow manure waste which is
immediately processed into environmentally friendly organic fertilizer. They are
also able to accept and apply technology to make compost and biochar organic
fertilizers that are ready to be marketed. The results also showed that PKM is
used by local governments to integrate livestock waste management with the
production of organic fertilizer that is ready to be marketed to improve less
fertile agricultural land and increase agricultural crop yields.
