The adequacy of feed requirements is not only measured by the amount of feed given, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the diversity of types of feed and the ability of livestock to change the feed ingredients given to increase body weight. The research entitled Botanical Composition, Consumption and Feed Conversion for Male Bali Cattle in the Tunas Karya Group of Teruwai Village, Central Lombok Regency was carried out for 3 months from August to October 2021. This research was carried out using 3 Bali bulls which were placed in separate individual pens. equipped with feed and drinking water. Variables observed in this study included botanical composition, feed consumption, and conversion as well as body weight gain during the study. The data obtained in this study were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the feed given to male Bali cattle reared in the Tunas Karya Group of Teruwai Village, Central Lombok Regency consisted of 100% king grass forage and 5 kg of commercial concentrate feed.
