The aim of implementing this program is to provide a medium for managing the potential of Ihing village, namely by conducting training for the Mesa Pau Farmers Group so that they can develop the potential of corncob waste to become animal feed. Implementation of this activity includes; the production process starting from grinding/chopping, fermentation, and use, and the packaging process for packaging and marketing which is carried out conventionally and through e-commerce. The results of this activity are to produce animal feed from fermented weevil waste which can later be used for the personal needs of village breeders and sold to other areas, especially in the Polewali Mandar district.
