To assess the developmental potential and forage carrying capacity for beef cattle breeding in Sambi Rampas District.
Conducted a descriptive survey using structured questionnaire interviews among beef cattle farmers (N=273) selected from a target population of 1,000 breeders.
Evaluated farmer demographic profiles, management systems, and regional feed balance comparing green forage and agricultural waste production against ruminant nutritional needs.
The majority of farmers utilized extensive rearing systems (79.9%), were aged 31–40 years (38.1%), had completed elementary education (63.4%), and had over 10 years of farming experience (68.9%).
Total feed availability reached 60,618.94 tons of dry matter/year against livestock feed requirements of 8,876.80 tons of dry matter/year, resulting in a net surplus of 51,742.14 tons of dry matter/year.
