This study aimed to understand the method of cattle fattening in Enhal Farm, especially the management of feed on beef cattle farms run at Enhal Farm. This study started from 15 May to 15 June 2020 in the bali cattle fattening business, Enhal Farm, Tombolo Hamlet, Tompobulu Village, Tompobulu sub-district, Maros regeny. The study focuses on Bali cattle feeding management which includes the type of feed given, mixing feed, how to get feed, the amount of feed, the frequency of feeding, how to feed and provide drinking water. The forage provided at Enhal Farm is in the form of elephant grass and rice straw, while the concentrate is a mixture of several feed ingredients such as fermented straw (such as corn cobs, bran, molasses, coconut cake, mineral mix, salt). The provision of forage in the form of elephant grass and rice straw is also based on the weight of the cows, the ability of the cows to consume rations, measured in the form of dry matter. The higher the body weight of the cow, the lower the percentage of its ability to consume dry rations. Drinking water is given ad libitum.
