Support for Animal Feed Innovation Technology In the North Sulawesi Border Area North Sulawesi Assessment Institute For Agricultural Technology (AIAT) Abstract One of the visions of the Nawacita Program launched by the President of Indonesia, Mr. Jokowi, is to build Indonesia from the periphery by strengthening regions and villages within the Republic of Indonesia and the development of border areas. Each border region has the potential for various agricultural and cultural resources, however, so far most of these potential resources have not been managed properly and have even been underutilized. The potential of available livestock, land, feed, and human resources is sufficient to support livestock development in border areas. Livestock activities in general in border areas can contribute economically to farmer households. The current problem, namely livestock productivity in this region is still very low. This is due to several things, namely where farmers in raising their livestock still use traditional cultivation systems, and the use and mastery of technological innovations that are still very limited, especially in providing a source of animal feed. As an area with potential for plantation crops, especially coconuts, which produce untapped waste by-products. Through several touches of technological innovation, the plantation waste can be processed into a source of quality feed, so it is hoped that an increase in livestock productivity and the welfare of farmers-breeders in the border area of North Sulawesi.
