Analisis Potensi Produksi Sumber Bahan Pakan Lokal dan Kapasitas Tampung Ternak Ruminansia di Kabupaten Tanggamus

Abstract

This study aims to calculate the production potential of local feed material sources and the carrying capacity of ruminant livestock in Tanggamus Regency. The data source comes from the primary data and secondary data, then the collected data is analyzed descriptively. From the analysis it can be seen that forage feed material derived from grasses, agricultural products and plantations along with the waste that can be used for ruminant animal feed reaches 665,421.30 tons of dry matter per year.
