KENDAL. “Saya berharap wilayah ini bisa menjadi sentra penggemukan kambing,” ungkap Arif, salah satu anggota kelompok ternak Adil Sejahtera di Desa Berdaya Patebon, Kendal.
Program penggemukan kambing yang biasa disebut lemu wedhus, merupakan program utama yang saat ini sedang digalakan di wilayah Desa binaan Rumah Zakat tersebut.
Banyaknya kebutuhan akan daging kambing menjadi salah satu alasan digulirkannya program ini. Saat ini ada 20 peternak yang menjadi binaan Rumah Zakat, lima diantaranya sudah mendapatkan bantuan langsung berupa bibit kambing untuk penggemukan. Masing-masing peternak mendapatkan enam ekor kambing jantan.
Menurut Arif kambing milik kelompoknya itu sudah bisa panen di bulan keempat setelah pemeliharaan atau saat mencapai usia satu tahun.
“Di sini kami menjual kambing usia satu tahun, karena kambing muda ini banyak dicari di pasaran. Bahkan sekarang permintaannya semakin naik,” ungkap Siti Munawaroh, Fasilitator Desa Berdaya Kendal

Goat fattening program, commonly called lemu wedhus, is the main program that is currently being promoted in the area of Rumah Zakat assisted Village.
The high demand for goat meat is one of the reasons for this program. Currently there are 20 rancher assisted by Rumah Zakat, five of them have received direct assistance in the form of goat seeds for fattening. Each rancher gets six goats.
According to Arif, his group’s goat can harvest in the fourth month after maintenance or when reaching the age of one year.
“Here we sell one year old goat, because this young goat is much sought in the market. Even now the demand is rising, “said Siti Munawaroh, Facilitator of Kendal Empowered Village.
