ABSTRACT
The availability of animal protein from buffalo can only be maintained by relying on an innovation-based maintenance system. This study aims to determine the level of adoption of Artificial Insemination (A.I.) innovations and the success rate of A.I. innovations in the buffalo farming business. This study uses a survey method and a secondary data analysis approach. The population is 100 buffalo breeders who have adopted the AI. innovation. In comparison, the number of samples determined by the Proportional Sampling technique is 50 breeders from 5 sub-districts in Padang Pariaman Regency. Data analysis was carried out in a quantitative descriptive manner, namely the adoption rate of A.I. was measured by the percentage of adoption, and the success rate of A.I. was measured by calculating Service PerConception (S/C), Conception Rate (C.R.), and Calving Rate (CvR). The result shows the adoption rate of A.I. innovations in terms of speed, area, and quality has an average percentage of implementation of 78.54%. In addition, the success rate of A.I. implementation is seen from the level of pregnancy (Service PerConception) with a value of S/C ± 1.67, the percentage of cattle pregnant. The first insemination (Conception Rate) with a C.R. value is 57.9%, and the percentage of birth rate (Calving Rate) with a CvR value is 47.9%. The study concludes that the adoption rate of A.I. in the buffalo breeding business in Padang Pariaman Regency, West Sumatra Province is in the moderate category. However, the success rate of its implementation is good.
