Abstract

Goat farming produced environmental pollution from livestock waste. On the other hand, the waste has economic value after being processed into compost. The farmers should not only be able to grow the goat but also process the waste into compost. The study aimed to analyze the influence of duration being a farmer, the level of education of farmers, and the number of goats on the farmer’s knowledge of waste processing in the Banyumas Regency. The research used a survey method. The sample has been determined by multi-stage sampling. The number of 78 respondents have been selected from each village using the Slovin formula. Then, the data has been presented using the descriptive method and analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression analysis. The results showed that the duration of being a goat farmer was classified as the old category (>20 years), the education level of goat farmers was categorized as low (elementary school), the number of goats was moderate (4-7 heads). Farmer’s knowledge of processing goat waste was in the medium category. The level of education has a significant effect and the number of goats has a significant effect on the farmer’s knowledge of waste management. The duration being farmer did not significantly affect the knowledge of farmers about the waste management.
