Abstract
The excellent germplasm of Aceh cattle, which are an important genetic resource for local breeds in Indonesia, need to be protected and preserved to maintain their population. Animals can reach optimal physical conditions, if they are allowed to grow in areas with a suitable environmental. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the topography of different areas to determine land suitability for different breeds of cattle in Aceh, Indonesia. This article discusses concepts of land suitability and its potential as a tool to measure the success of animal husbandry. The focus of evaluation of this method is by combining various geographical GIS information, including spatial for kinds of soils, land elevation, slope, climate, rainfall and temperature, with the FAO standard in order to determine land suitability. For approval of the function of this application, it is required to analyze the geospatial data arranged based on FAO standards for land suitability. The results of the study indicated that about 96.48% of all areas in Aceh Besar district were categorized as suitable (S) for the area of cattle Aceh (orders) and only 3.52% of the areas were not suitable (N) for cattle.
