ABSTRACT The development of the livestock industry can be realized through the optimization of natural resources such as soil and vegetation that grows on it (forage, and legumes). Forage roles as animal feed, as well as land conservation plants, while leguminosae can improve soil nutrient elements. Changes in land use become a limiting factor in the availability of forage, giving and lack of animal feed. Optimization of land resources can be done through the use of marginal land, post-mining and watershed as an alternative to the development of forage. Appropriate land management according to the type of land which supported by technology has implications to the increasing of forages productivity and sustainability of land resources utilization in the long term as well as preserving the environment.
