Abstract

This study aimed to compare rice straw production, nutrient quality, and feed carrying capacity for beef cattle between manual and mechanical (combine harvester) harvesting systems in Palangga District, South Konawe Regency, Indonesia.Rice straw production was measured using a 5×5 m quadrat method across four representative villages under both harvesting systems.Proximate and fiber fraction analyses were conducted to determine nutrient composition, while carrying capacity was estimated based on dry matter (DM) production.The results showed that manual harvesting produced significantly (P
