The analytical method used is income analysis and feasibility analysis of the pig farming business. The research results show that the income of pig slaughterers at the Ruteng's Abattoir is IDR 48,053,738/month. The results of the financial analysis illustrate that B/C=0.60, BEP unit was 1,903.10 kg, BEP IDR was IDR 216,120,109, and R/C=1.60.

KEY WORDS
Abattoir, butcher, financial feasibility, income, pig, pork.
Pork demand in Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT), Indonesia, relatively high. A high demand of pork in this area was indicated by the increasing number of slaughtering pig and pork production each year. One area of Manggarai Regency with a high number of pigs and pork production was in Langke Rembong Sub-district.
Regarding data from BPS Manggarai (2021), population of pig in Langke Rembong Sub-district was very high comparing with population of another small livestock. It was reported that in the year of 2018 the pig's population reached at 3,411 heads, then, in 2019 it was increased to 5,103 heads, and in 2020 it was decreased to 5,063 heads.
Institution of Animal Husbandry in Manggarai Regency reported that in 2020 there was 2,404 heads of pig slaughtered at Ruteng's Abbatoir and ± 9,616 heads of pig were slaughtered outside of Ruteng's Abattoir. Further, in 2021, number of slaughtering pigs at Ruteng's Abattoir reached at 2,351 pigs and ± 9,404 pigs were slaughtered outside of the abattoir. It was also reported that in 2020 the pork production sold by butchers in the abattoir reached at 405,675 tons. However, in 2021, the pork production decreased to 369,731.25 tons cause of African Swine Fever (ASF) virus.
One effort to fulfill consumer's demand of pork in Manggarai Regency was encouraged by butchers' business. The butchers' business of pork runs by activities of slaughtering pigs at Ruteng's Abattoir. The activities of the abattoir were needed as a public facility to provide a healthy and feasible of meat, particularly pork, for the community. The activities were necessary to fulfill the community needs for meat as a kind food (Lawu, 2014).
However, although the production of pork by the butchers was relatively high, there was limited information provided in relation to the butchers' business include the business income and its feasibility.
The research problem formulation was how much income that the pigs' butchers gained at Ruteng's Abattoir; and whether the pigs' butchers business at the abattoir financially feasible or not yet. The research objectives were to know the income gained by the pigs' butchers in Ruteng's Abattoir and to evaluate the financially feasibility of the business.
METHODS OF RESEARCH
The research was conducted in six months at Ruteng's abattoir. The research method used was survey. Method of selecting sample was simple random sampling to select the pigs' butchers. Actually, there were only seven pigs' butchers at the abattoir, therefore all butchers were taken as representative respondents.
Data comprise two kinds of data namely primary and secondary data. The primary data were obtained based on observation and interview. The interview was held based on prepared questionnaires. Then, the secondary data were obtained from governmental institutions such as Institution of Animal Husbandry and Statistic Center Bureau of Manggarai Regency.
The data obtained were analyzed based on income analysis as described as follow: 1) Analysis of income: Income of the pigs' butchers can be known by applying income analysis refers to Soekartawi (2002) with the next formulation: n = TR - tC, where: n = total income, TR = total revenue, and TC = total cost; 2) 2. Analysis R/C: Suratiyah (2006) stated that R/C is a ratio between total revenue and total cost. The R/C can be analyzed based on the following formulation: R/C = TR / TC, where: R/C = revenue cost ratio, TR = total revenue, and TC = total cost; and 3) Analysis of feasibility: a) Analysis of benefit cost ratio (B/C). Benefit Cost Ratio is counted based on a formulation as formulated by Freddy (2006): B/C = TB / TC, where: B/C= benefit cost ratio, TB = total benefit, and TC = total cost; and b) Analysis of break-even point (BEP). BEP of the pigs' butcher business can be done based on a formulation as stated by Ibrahim (2009) as follows: BEP unit = FC / (P-VC) and BEP price = FC / P- (VC/S), where: FC= fixed cost, P = price per unit, VC = variable cost per unit, and S = selling volume (IDR ).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Ruteng is a town as capital of Manggarai Regency in Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Ruteng is located in Langke Rembong Sub-district. Ruteng has two abattoirs. First, pigs' abattoir and cattle's abattoir. The pigs' abattoir is located at Tuke, Village of Compang Tuke in Langke Rembong Sub-district. Second, the cattle's abattoir is located at Village of karot, Langke Rembong Sub-district.

Pardede (2015) reported that the revenue of the pigs' farm can be gained from the pigs sold and the
It
transformation of pigs' value. Therefore, the higher the number of the pigs raised or the higher the number of slaughtered pigs at an abattoir, the higher the revenue gained. Based on the number of pigs' slaughtered in a month, it was found that there were five products produced. Number and price of products produced were shown on Table 1.
