Abstract

The diversity of greenery species in oil palm plantations is a source of animal feed. The research aims to identify the type of forage as a source of animal feed in the area of oil palm plantations in Watubangga Subdistrict Kolaka Regency, conducted in April to June 2021 using survey methods and direct observations on oil palm plantation areas. Observation and measurement of forage type used quadrant 1 m x 1 m in the area of oil palm plantations aged 7 years. The results of forage identification were analysed using summed dominant ratio formula to see the relative density, relative frequency and important value of a forage type. Furthermore, it was analysed using the formula of livestock capacity. The identification results showed that out of the 24 types of forage in the oil palm plantation area there are 13 types that can be consumed by livestock with a capacity of 502.07 livestock units.
