Introduction Sumberejo Village, located in Batu District of Batu City, represents a region with considerable agricultural and animal husbandry potential due to its favorable geographical Situated at an altitude of 800Ae1,200 meters above sea level, the village enjoys a cool climate ranging from 15Ae24AC, creating ideal environmental conditions for various agricultural activities including horticulture and livestock farming.
Within this community, the "Ternak Kelinci" livestock business group has established a semi-intensive rabbit farming operation that has been practiced for an extended period.
Each farmer in this cooperative typically manages between 50Ae100 rabbits, representing a significant but underdeveloped economic opportunity for local residents.
Despite this promising foundation, the rabbit farming practices in Sumberejo Village remain constrained by traditional methods that fail to capitalize on the region's natural advantages, resulting in suboptimal productivity and limited economic returns for participating farmers.
The primary challenge confronting rabbit breeders in Sumberejo Village is the alarmingly high mortality rate among rabbits, particularly affecting young and vulnerable individuals.
Research by Handoko & Prasetyo .
and Setiawan & Widodo .
identifies fluctuations in temperature and humidity as critical factors contributing to this problem.
During rainy or winter seasons, humidity levels within conventional rabbit cages frequently exceed 75%, while temperatures can plummet below the critical threshold of 15AC.
These environmental stressors trigger a cascade of health issues including physiological stress, respiratory infections, and fungal skin diseases that can prove fatal, especially for newborn rabbits which may perish within 24 hours under unfavorable conditions.
Compounding these environmental challenges, farmers' reliance on vegetable waste with limited nutritional content further compromises rabbit health and stunts growth potential, creating a multifaceted problem that requires comprehensive solutions beyond simple feeding adjustments.
Infrastructure limitations significantly exacerbate the challenges faced by rabbit farmers in Sumberejo Village, with cage design representing a critical area needing improvement.
Current housing systems feature relatively simple construction with inadequate ventilation and substandard sanitation protocols, as documented by Wirajaya & Santosa .
and WHO .
The resulting poor air circulation creates stagnant conditions that accelerate the spread of pathogens, while the difficulty in maintaining cleanliness leads to the accumulation of rabbit droppings.
This accumulation not only produces unpleasant odors but also poses serious environmental pollution risks and increases disease transmission potential.
The documented rabbit mortality rate of 2Ae5% per month represents a substantial economic burden for small-scale operations, particularly when considered alongside marketing constraints where farmers depend on limited buyers who offer relatively low pricesAi approximately IDR 20,000 for 18Ae20-day-old rabbits and IDR 150,000Ae400,000 for breeding stockAifurther diminishing the economic viability of this agricultural activity.
To address these multifaceted challenges, an innovative technological solution has been developed that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities with rabbit cage infrastructure.
This solution incorporates temperature and humidity sensors that enable real-time environmental monitoring, allowing breeders to receive immediate smartphone notifications when conditions fall outside optimal ranges, as supported by research from Dura.

Additionally, it advances the university's key performance indicators related to appropriate technology application, community engagement, and collaborative partnerships between academic institutions and local communities.
By addressing the specific needs of the "Ternak Kelinci" group through the implementation of IoT-based rabbit cages with automatic manure removal systems, this initiative promises to significantly reduce mortality rates, enhance productivity, strengthen entrepreneurial capabilities, and ultimately transform traditional rabbit farming practices into a model of modern, healthy, and sustainable livestock management that could serve as a replicable example for similar communities throughout the region.
Method The community service initiative commenced with a comprehensive socialization and counseling phase designed to introduce the "Ternak Kelinci" Livestock Group in Sumberejo Village to the innovative IoT-based rabbit cage system.
Recognizing that successful technology adoption requires foundational understanding, the PKM (Community Servic.
team conducted interactive sessions to explain the scientific rationale behind environmental monitoring in rabbit farming, emphasizing how temperature fluctuations and humidity levels directly impact rabbit health and mortality rates.
During these sessions, team members from the Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis Asia Malang presented research findings demonstrating that uncontrolled cage conditionsAiparticularly when humidity exceeds 75% or temperatures drop below 15ACAisignificantly increase the risk of respiratory infections, fungal diseases, and neonatal mortality within 24 hours.
The counseling incorporated visual aids and case studies from previous implementations to illustrate how IoT technology could address the specific challenges documented in the village, where rabbit mortality rates average 2-5% monthly.
This foundational phase was crucial for building trust and establishing the scientific basis for the technological intervention, ensuring farmers understood not just the "how" but the critical "why" behind implementing these innovations in their traditional rabbit farming practices.
The second phase of implementation focused on intensive hands-on training and practical skill development, recognizing that theoretical knowledge alone would be insufficient for sustainable adoption of the new technology.
The PKM team designed a multi-session training program that began with basic smartphone operation for farmers with limited digital literacy, progressively advancing to specialized instruction on operating the IoT sensors, interpreting real-time data displays, and responding appropriately to environmental alerts.
Participants engaged in simulated scenarios where they practiced adjusting cage conditions in response to sensor notifications, learning to distinguish between minor fluctuations requiring observation and critical deviations necessitating immediate intervention.
The training also covered the mechanical operation of the automatic roll system for waste disposal, with particular attention to safety protocols and routine maintenance procedures.
To ensure knowledge retention, the team employed a "train-the-trainer" approach, identifying and intensively coaching several farmer leaders who could subsequently support their peers.
This phase incorporated immediate feedback mechanisms, with farmers documenting their learning experiences and raising practical concerns that the technical team addressed in realtime, creating a collaborative environment that respected both the farmers' existing expertise and the new technological requirements.
The final implementation phase encompassed the physical delivery and installation of the innovative equipment followed by structured mentoring and ongoing monitoring to ensure sustainable adoption.
The PKM team worked closely with farmers to customize the IoT-based cage installations to each breeder's specific operational context, carefully positioning temperature and humidity sensors to capture accurate microclimate data while integrating the automatic roll system in a manner compatible with existing cage layouts.
Following installation, .

a dedicated mentoring period was established where technical team members conducted regular site visits to observe usage patterns, troubleshoot issues, and provide just-in-time support as farmers encountered real-world challenges.
This monitoring phase included the development of simplified maintenance guides translated into local language with visual instructions, addressing common technical problems farmers might encounter.
The team also established a digital support channel via WhatsApp to provide remote assistance, recognizing that continuous technical support is essential for technology adoption in rural settings.
Crucially, this phase incorporated mechanisms for collecting farmer feedback to refine the technologyAisuch as adjusting notification thresholds based on practical experienceAiand documented both successes and challenges to inform future iterations of the program.
This comprehensive approach to implementation ensured that the technological intervention was not merely delivered but effectively integrated into the daily operations of the rabbit farming community, laying the foundation for long-term sustainability and measurable improvements in productivity.
Result The implementation of IoT-based appropriate technology in Sumberejo Village has fundamentally transformed the knowledge landscape of rabbit farmers within the "Ternak Kelinci" Livestock Group.
Prior to this community service initiative, farmers operated primarily on experiential knowledge passed down through generations, with limited scientific understanding of the critical relationship between environmental conditions and rabbit health They lacked awareness of the precise temperature and humidity thresholds necessary for optimal rabbit growth, often misjudging these parameters based on subjective feelings rather than objective measurements.
This knowledge gap was particularly problematic during seasonal transitions when environmental fluctuations could rapidly deteriorate cage conditions without farmers recognizing the emerging threat.
Following the introduction of IoT technology, however, farmers have developed a sophisticated understanding of the scientific principles governing rabbit husbandry, particularly regarding the importance of maintaining cage humidity below 75% and temperatures above 15AC to prevent respiratory infections and neonatal mortality.
The educational component of the program successfully bridged this knowledge deficit by translating complex environmental science into practical, actionable insights that farmers could immediately apply to their daily operations, creating a foundation for evidence-based decision-making rather than reliance on tradition alone.
The practical skill development achieved through this program represents a remarkable transformation in the technical capabilities of Sumberejo Village's rabbit farmers.
Previously constrained by manual record-keeping methods that were both time-consuming and prone to human error, farmers now demonstrate proficiency in operating sophisticated digital monitoring systems that provide real-time environmental data directly to their smartphones.
This technological leap required overcoming significant barriers, including initial apprehension about digital literacy and smartphone operation, particularly among older farmers with limited prior technology exposure.
Through structured hands-on training sessions, participants learned not only to interpret sensor data but also to respond appropriately to automated alerts, developing new competencies in data-driven decision-making.
Farmers can now distinguish between normal environmental fluctuations and critical deviations requiring immediate intervention, a skill that previously depended on observable symptoms of distress in the rabbitsAia stage often too late for effective prevention.
This enhanced technical proficiency extends to the maintenance of the automated roll system for waste disposal, where farmers have acquired mechanical understanding that enables them to perform routine checks and minor repairs independently, reducing dependence on external technical support and ensuring continuous operation of these critical systems.
The physical transformation of rabbit housing conditions stands as one of the most .

visible and impactful outcomes of this community service initiative.
Before the intervention, traditional cages suffered from inadequate ventilation, poor drainage, and difficult-to-clean designs that allowed waste accumulation, creating environments conducive to pathogen proliferation and disease transmission.
These substandard conditions directly contributed to the documented 2-5% monthly mortality rate, particularly affecting vulnerable young rabbits during adverse weather conditions.
The introduction of IoT-enabled cages with integrated temperature and humidity sensors has created microenvironments that maintain optimal conditions regardless of external weather fluctuations, while the innovative automatic roll system has revolutionized waste management practices.
This system not only eliminates the pungent odors previously associated with rabbit farming but also prevents the buildup of moisture that fostered fungal growth and respiratory infections.
The resulting improvement in air quality and sanitation has created a healthier habitat for rabbits, with farmers reporting noticeably calmer behavior in their animals and reduced incidence of the skin lesions and respiratory distress that were previously common complaints, particularly during the rainy season when humidity would routinely exceed critical thresholds.

and limited market opportunities, farmers operated with narrow profit margins that provided little buffer against seasonal challenges or unexpected losses.
The IoT-based monitoring system directly addresses the primary cause of these economic lossesAienvironmentally induced mortalityAiby enabling preventive interventions before conditions reach critical levels.
Even a modest reduction in mortality rates would translate to significant economic benefits, as each surviving rabbit represents additional income through either meat production or breeding stock sales.
Furthermore, the improved health and growth rates resulting from optimal cage conditions are expected to enhance the quality and market value of the rabbits, potentially commanding higher prices from buyers who recognize the benefits of healthier animals.
The automatic waste disposal system adds another economic dimension by transforming what was previously a costly disposal problem into a valuable resourceAifarmers can now efficiently collect clean manure for conversion into organic fertilizer, creating an additional revenue stream while reducing environmental impact.
This dual approach of reducing losses while creating new value streams positions Sumberejo Village rabbit farmers to achieve greater economic resilience and improved livelihoods.
The broader significance of this community service program extends beyond immediate economic and technical improvements to represent a model for sustainable agricultural development that aligns with multiple Sustainable Development Goals.
By successfully integrating appropriate technology with traditional farming practices, the initiative has demonstrated how digital innovation can be adapted to small-scale agricultural contexts without requiring excessive capital investment or displacing local knowledge systems.
The program's emphasis on practical, user-centered designAiensuring that the IoT interface is intuitive for farmers with varying levels of digital literacyAiprovides valuable lessons for future technology transfer initiatives in rural communities.
Moreover, the documented improvements in animal welfare through controlled environmental conditions and improved sanitation contribute to more ethical farming practices that align with growing consumer demands for responsibly produced animal products.
Perhaps most importantly, the program has established a framework for ongoing collaboration between academic institutions and farming communities, creating pathways for continuous improvement as farmers gain experience with the technology and identify additional needs for refinement.
This foundation of trust and shared purpose positions Sumberejo Village not merely as a beneficiary of technological intervention but as an active participant in the co-creation of solutions that could serve as a replicable model for sustainable rabbit farming throughout Indonesia and similar agricultural contexts Discussion The technical implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in Sumberejo Village's rabbit farming operations has yielded transformative benefits that address previously intractable challenges in livestock management.

From an environmental management standpoint, the introduction of the automated roll system for manure disposal has revolutionized cage sanitation practices while simultaneously addressing previously overlooked economic opportunities.
This innovation effectively eliminates the accumulation of rabbit droppings that historically created unsanitary conditions characterized by pungent odors, poor air quality, and elevated disease transmission risks.
The mechanical design of the roll system ensures regular, efficient waste removal without requiring excessive labor, thereby maintaining consistently clean cage environments that promote optimal rabbit health and growth.
Beyond the immediate hygiene benefits, this system has transformed what was previously considered a problematic waste stream into a valuable resource, as the collected manure can now be systematically processed into high-quality organic fertilizer.
This dual environmental and economic benefit creates a closed-loop system where waste management directly contributes to additional revenue streams, aligning perfectly with circular economy principles.
The resulting improvement in overall farm environment not only benefits the rabbits through reduced stress and disease incidence but also enhances working conditions for farmers, making daily maintenance tasks less physically demanding and more pleasant, thereby addressing both animal welfare and human occupational health concerns in a single integrated solution.
The socio-economic transformation catalyzed by this technological intervention extends far beyond the immediate operational improvements, fundamentally reshaping farmers' capabilities, confidence, and business perspectives.
Through comprehensive training and hands-on practice, participants in the "Ternak Kelinci" Livestock Group have developed new digital literacy skills that were previously outside their professional repertoire, successfully navigating the transition from manual record-keeping to sophisticated data interpretation via smartphone applications.
