Abstract
Coconut land in District of East Likupang, an area of 2,942 ha (8.3% of the area of North
Minahasa Regency), mostly used for cattle development. The problem is, whether the coconut
land has the potential to support the development of cattle in this area. The purpose of research
that has been done is to analyze the potential of carrying coconut-cattle. The research method that
has been used is a survey method. East Likupang districts have been determined by purposive,
because it has the largest cattle population. Analysis of the data that has been used is the analysis
of the Effective Potential of Livestock Development. The results showed that the maximum
potential of land resources (PMSL), is equal to 2364.172 UT. That is, based on land resources,
can still accommodate cattle of value PMSL. The maximum potential by farmers households
(PMKK), is at 6627 UT. That is, based on the availability of labor, livestock population can be
increased up to the amount of the PMKK. In conclusion, the land under a palm tree in the district
of East Likupang, has the potential for development of cattle. It is, seen from the potential of land
as a source of forage, and resource potential farmers. The role of government, is needed in order
to increase the potential carrying capacity of land, environmentally friendly in this area.
