"Indonesia's annual beef consumption is experiencing a steady rise. In 2021, the
per capita beef consumption amounted to 2.56 kg per person per year, resulting in a total
of 696 million kilograms consumed across the country. This quantity is equivalent to the
slaughtering of approximately 3.98 million cattle annually. With the increasing growth of
the feedlot industry, cattle farmers, including feedlot operators, have the opportunity to
enhance the value of agricultural companies in Indonesia by utilizing local feedstuffs. The
objective of this study was to assess the suitability and nutritional value of indigenous
feed sources for beef cattle in Indonesia. The research utilized feedstuff varieties and
characteristics sourced from feedlots spanning since 2012-2021. The employed
methodologies encompassed surveys, interviews, and questionnaires. This research
involved the collection of both primary and secondary data. The potential and quality of
local feedstuff were described using descriptive analysis. This research showed that eight
types of local feedstuff could be categorized as energy sources including dehydrated
cassava chips with a total digestible nutrients (TDN) value of 84.2% and bran pollard with
a TDN value of 66.6%. The fiber sources consisted of corn cob (37.7% crude fiber), coffee
husk (38% crude fiber), cocoa bean shell (20% crude fiber), tapioca solid waste/onggok
(22% crude fiber), and palm kernel meal (22.1% crude fiber). The protein source
consisted of copra meal with a protein content of 22.4%. The physical test most frequently
inspected the feed color (18.1%) and odor (18.1%). Moisture examination (24%) was the
most frequently used of proximate analysis was employed to identify the chemical
composition. In conclusion the existence of eight local ingredients which were
categorized into three different types: energy source, protein source, and fiber source
commonly used in the concentrate formula for beef cattle feedlots in Indonesia"
