Abstract
Livestock is a subsector that has roles in supporting the economy in Lolayan
Subdistrict. In this area, cattle are developed by utilizing land under coconut trees. The
problem is the extent to which coconut plantation potentials can support cattle development
in this Subdistrict. The research objective is to analyze the carrying capacity of coconutcattle
agroecosystem. Tonayan and Bakan villages were determined purposively, as the
villages having the most cattle. The number of respondents were 52 farmers (32 farmers in
Tonayan village and 20 farmers in Bakan village). The data were analyzed using the
analysis of Effective Livestock Development Potential and Land Carrying Capacity Index
(IDD). Results of this research indicates that the Maximum Potential of Land Resources
(PMSL) are 2728.45 Animal Unit (AU). The capacity of cattle population increase based on
land resources is 1551.45 AU. The maximum potential based on farmer household heads is
I 8669 AU and cattle population increase based on farmer household heads of is 17 492. The
IDD value is 2.03. Based on the research findings, the land under coconut trees in the
Lolayan Subdistrict can still be optimized as a source of forage accompanied by the
increase in cattle population. Optimization can be conducted by coconut cattle integration
approach which is environmentally friendly and sustainable
