Abstract

Muna Regency is a development area for Bali cattle and is an activity familiar to the people of Muna Regency. The livestock business has been carried out for generations but is still considered a side business managed traditionally. Bali cattle development potential in this area is still large because a fairly wide topography supports it. The study aimed to determine the maintenance system for Bali cattle farming in Muna Regency by examining the socio-economic impacts of the Bali cattle farming business using a survey method, and location determination was carried out deliberately. The data used in this research are primary data and secondary data obtained from breeders, sub-district governments, and related agencies. The data obtained were then analyzed descriptively using a Likert scale. The results showed that the maintenance system for Bali cattle farming applies two maintenance systems, namely semi-intensive and extensive. The maintenance pattern aims to produce seeds and, of course, have job opportunities that impact the social and economic community.
