Abstract


This study aims to evaluate the implementation of animal welfare principles in sheep farming in the Tanjungpura Berdikari Community-Based Organization (KSM) in Tasikmalaya Regency. The methods used were quantitative descriptive through pre-tests, field observations, and interviews. The results showed that farmers had met the aspects of feeding, housing cleanliness, and livestock physical care properly. However, there were still shortcomings in the providing of drinking water regularly, health checks, and providing exercise opportunities for the livestock. Farmers' responses to the program were highly positive. They expressed high interest, actively participated in discussions, and demonstrated a strong desire to improve livestock management practices. These findings highlight the importance of follow-up actions, including further education, technical training, and improved access to animal health facilities and personnel to support the sustainable implementation of animal welfare.
