According to the fact that 60% of inhabitants of Indonesia live in Java, the Island is the large market for animal products, and, therefore, the most of ruminants (59%), especially beef cattle, dairy cattle and sheep are kept here. The serious problem in livestock production in Java is limited land area for forage production and high number of poor farmers (ca. 82%). For this situation, the comprehensive program for the development of forage production in integrated system has been conducted to improve forage availability (production and quality) and carrying capacity of the region. The program included identification of non-pasture land contribution for providing natural forages and investigation of local grass species that is adapted to shading and improvement of local grass. Non pasture lands that were dominated by local grasses (62-87%) contributed 1.5-88.6% to forage supply, and improved carrying capacity 0.57-0.95 animal unit per ha per year. We have concluded that increase in ruminant population of Java will be possible by introducing the integrated cultivation of local and introduced grass and legume cultivars in various non-pasture lands and plantations.
