Bank of Feces is an integrated and connected management of livestock waste between breeders where they act as customers and beneficiaries of the utilization of livestock waste. The purpose of this study was to find out the information needed by breeders in the development of bank of feces in Polman district. This research was conducted in February - March 2023 in Tanda Sura Village, Tinambung District, Polman district. This location was chosen because it is one of the centers of small-scale goat farming. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD). FGDs are carried out by involving the heads of livestock groups, breeders, innovators, extension workers accompanying breeders and the Head of Village. The focus of the research is the information and technology needs of breeders in the development of feces bank. Data from FGD and in-depth interviews were analyzed and grouped by category.
